[AccessD] Registry tweaks

[John Colby]

Gustav,

As I mentioned in my email, I was not commenting one way or the other on 
what specifically was being enabled or disabled.  I just found the 
"Accumulate registry tweaks in a batch file" concept to be useful, as 
well as the clear demonstration of precisely how to do that.  Having 
that info in hand, as one accumulates tweaks relevant to that person, 
this is a place to go to put those tweaks.  Over the years I have found 
many registry tweaks that I have no clue today what they were nor where 
to find them.

I have to say that I didn't even look at, nor having looked at even 
understand, each of the tweaks in there.  Those you mention are a good 
example of "WTF" kind of stuff.  But it seems to be important to the 
person writing the article so good for him I guess.

Not interested in mining per se however of interest to me was a batch file download down at the bottom for automating registry hacks for turning off various things.  Of interest to me was what was being disabled as well as how to perform the adds and deletes.  Pretty cool stuff.  The guy turned the bat into a txt file which chrome just opened and displayed.  You could turn it back into a bat file for execution, commenting out things you don't want done, or for that matter adding other things that you like done.
