Add TheGun editor to your registry johngh Windows Registry

TheGun is a great Windows Notepad replacement, but it's a bit painful in how it registers itself when you choose it to open a file. If you save it in "C:\Program Files\TheGun\THEGUN.EXE" and add something this to your registry, it should work nicely.

Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition security settings Scooter Windows Registry

When you install Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition, the default settings are not very secure. The following registry script will increase the security settings to a more reasonable level. This is for version 10; I suspect the settings for version 11 and 12 are stored in a similar registry location, and finding the location was the hardest part.

Change Excel macro security to medium Scooter Windows Registry

The below is for Excel 2003, but you can probably target Office 2007 or 2010 by changing the version to 12.0 or 13.0 respectively.

At the company where I am currently working, Excel addins are used extensively by various departments. By default, Excel has macro security set to high, but some users are too dumb to read the message that tells them to change the macro security to medium, so I've added the following to our collection of registry tweaks applied during logon to take care of this automatically.

Increase maximum signature length in Outlook Web Access Scooter Windows Registry

When editing your signature in Outlook Web Access, you may have seen this error message:

Your signature exceeds the maximum size allowed. Please reduce its length or formatting before attempting to save again.

This registry tweak will increase the maximum signature length from the default 4 KB to 16 KB. Feel free to change this to a lower number if you prefer, but 16 KB is apparently the maximum possible.

This registry tweak needs to be applied on the Exchange server itself.

Disable Windows Share Drag and Drop Confirmation caused by IE 7 on XP SP3 karlhorky Windows Registry

Internet Explorer 7 under Windows XP Service Pack 3 has the Windows Registry "Reserved Value" 180D set that was not set before, which can cause a "Do you want to move or copy files from this zone?" prompt on moves or copies between Windows shares if they are incorrectly detected as being part of the Internet Zone. The registry solution in this snippet will disable this confirmation message.

Windows Registry: Set open folder default icons for all A-Z drive letters and Desktop Shell Folder in Windows 7 karlhorky Windows Registry

Based upon the Drive Icon Change Windows Vista tweak and the shell icons registry settings found at the respective links below, this Windows 7 / Vista tweak will set the default icon of all A-Z drive letters (like C: for instance) and the Desktop to the open folder icon that Windows uses. This tweak is one step towards the final goal of having a standard default taskbar icon for Windows Explorer, irrespective of the current location of the Explorer instance.

Of course, a better solution would be an application to modify Windows Explorer so that its taskbar icon is configurable, but I have yet to find (or make) a solution that would be this flexible.
