some advice on registry tweak from kellys-korner.com

[jim]

Can someone explain to me what exactly are all the functions this reg file
does
that supposedly speeds up windows explorer? My concern is if it will have
any negative side effects on other things.

I found it here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 157 second column = Prevent Delay Opening My Computer/Explorer

the reg file has the following code>>>>

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\stisvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRemoteRecursiveEvents"=dword:00000001



thanks

Thanks I will look at the sites you provided.. but one of your replies
surprised me.

I don't have such a setting nor did it ever exist on any of my machines. I
am using simple network sharing>>>>

Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View tab > Advanced Settings >
Automatically search for network folders and printers > untick to set
hat registry value above.

Here (SP2) that option is at the second position from the top of the
list. It may read a little bit different since translated on-the-fly.
