0 thoughts on “Registry key to Customize Windows Explorer Common Dialogs”
Haven’t tried any of these but, I know Windows XP PRO and believe they are true.
As a small thought, you might want to, using NOTEPAD of course, make individual files that do some of these things; in particular the annoying “shortcut” addition.
As you know TWEAKIU doesn’t work for Windows 7.
Thank you,
