Oh yes, one I have used many times at work to "Corporatize" (hehe new word) our Pcs - nice Spellbyte!

BTW - your sig pic is poorly.

Improve you reboot time:

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Shutdown and double click on the FastReboot key (type: REG_SZ) and edit the value from 0 to 1

I got a nifty regtweak that isn't so much a performance tweak, but can change the word 'Start' among many other things in your start menu...I have my 'Control Panel' called 'Cockpit' and 'Shut Down' labeled 'IT BURNS US!!'

Instead of Start - I have SAY MY NAME!!

Let me know if you want me to post that one...it involves chaning the resource file 'explorer.exe'.

so how do you change the start buttons text then?

Hya SB , i dont think TiJay will be back.. lol.


Let me have a look around to see what i can do.

Here you go , thanks to XiNiTHAOUS:
