#1 - Change the name of a Registered User or Company in Windows Vista.
If you’ve installed Windows Vista and misspelled or want to change either your Registered Users or Company Name, here’s a quick registry hack that will allow you to do that.
First, click on the start
pebble and in the Search area type
regedit
Once you have the registry editor open, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Look for the two values RegisteredOwner and RegisteredOrganization. You can double-click on either of these and change them to whatever you’d like.
#2 - Slow Down Vista Animations with the Shift Key
For those into eye-candy and using Vista, here’s a quick registry hack to slow down your animations.
First, click the Start…pebble and in the search box type regedit. Hit Enter to launch the registry editor.
You’ll have to let windows know that yes, you really do want to access regedit.
Now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/DWM.
Once there, we’ll have to create a new key. Right click in the white space on the right (under the existing keys) and choose New-> DWORD (32 bit) Value.
Name it AnimationsShiftKey.
Double click it and in the Value Data box enter 1.
Exit out of regedit and reboot your machine.
Now, if you want to slow down Vista’s animations, hold down the Shift key before one starts. For instance, if you’re about to minimize an Explorer session, hold down the Shift key and then minimize it.
#3 - Encrypt/Decrypt via Right Click
Encrypting and Decrypting files in Vista is done by right clicking on the file (or folder) and then choosing properties, then clicking the Advanced button and then checking the Encrypt (or Decrypt) checkbox.
Wouldn’t it be much easier if we could just right click the thing and choose Encrypt/Decrypt?
Now with this Registry Hack you can.
Go to your Start button and in the search bar type Regedit and hit the Enter key.
Windows will need your permission to continue, so go ahead and tell it yes.
Drill down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Advanced.
Now you’re going to create a new key. Right click in Regedit where the other keys are listed and choose New-> DWORD(32-bit Value).
Once you do this, You’ll get a key called NewValue#1. Let’s change that too EncryptionContextMenu. Hit Enter to save the new name.
Now double click EncryptionContextMenu and change the value from 0 to 1. Click OK. Exit Regedit.
Now when you right click on any folder or file, you’ll have the option to encrypt or decrypt it.
#4 - Vista Desktop with no Icons
Do you like your windows desktop clean? Really, really clean? How about a little hack that will hide (while not removing) every icon in and on your desktop? In fact, if you use explorer to visit your Desktop folder, you’ll find everything still there.
You can really get by without many if any icons, as everything is accessible either through the search function or the start button.
First, type regedit into the Start menu search bar to fire up your registery editor.
When Vista promts you to okay this action, go ahead.
Now, in Regedit, find your way to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer
If the key doesn’t exist, you can create it. Right click in Policies and choose new key and name it Explorer.
Once there, double click on No Desktop.
If it isn’t there, again you can create it by right clicking and choosing New-> Binary Value.
Name this NoDesktop and type in 01 00 00 00 (Vista will throw the spaces in for you).
Say OK to save it, exit Regedit and reboot.
When your machine comes up again, it will have no Desktop. If you want to change it back, simply change the key to 00 00 00 00.
