label1=By right clicking on a toolbar you are usually given the option to Customize, which allows you to change which functions are available from the toolbar. This tweak allows you to disable that function.
[Desktop and Explorer Security Options 1]
label1=Option 1 allows you to disable the ability to customize toolbar. Option 2 will lock the toolbars, and remove the ability to change which are displayed. Option 3 will remove the Distributed File System (DFS) tab from Windows explorer. Option 4 is used to stop interactive users from snooping on other user sessions by exploiting a Windows vulnerability. Option 5 can be used to disable the ability to use the New menu item to create new objects using explorer.
[Desktop and Explorer Security Options 2]
label1=Option 1 is used to enable the ability to control advanced NTFS permissions on local and shared files. Option 2 will remove the Security tab from Windows explorer which prevents users from accessing or changing the security permissions of folder and file objects. Option 3 allows you to remove the ability to change, add or delete file types using explorer the Folder Options interface.
[Automatic Logon to Windows 95, 98 and Me]
label1=This setting allows Windows clients to automatically logon without entering a user name or password, therefore bypassing the logon box. NOTE: The password is stored in clear text, therefore anyone with access to the registry can see the default password.
[Login Options 2]
label1=When using the automatic login feature it is possible for a user to hold the 'Shift' key to bypass the login sequence and enter a username and password. Option 1 disables the ability to override the function. Option 2 controls whether start menu create a second column or a scrolling menu when there are more items. You can personalize the message displayed on the logon box above the user name and password by using the next setting.
[Force Users to Logon to Windows]
label1=Usually users can simply press 'Cancel' at the Windows logon box to bypass the login process and gain access to the local computer. This option will logout the user if the authentication fails or the user clicks Cancel. NOTE: To enable this feature please setup your computer for multiple users by using the 'Users' wizard in the Control Panel.
[Enable Shutdown from Authentication Dialog Box]
label1=When this option is enabled a [Shutdown] button is displayed in authentication dialog box when the system first starts. This allows you to shutdown a system without logging in. The button is shown by default on a workstation and removed on a server installation.
[PASSWORD OPTIONS]
label1=Windows by default will accept anything as a password, including nothing. Option 1 controls whether Windows will require a alphanumeric password, i.e. a password made from a combination of alpha (A, B, C...) and numeric (1, 2 ,3 ...) characters. Next setting will force Windows to reject passwords that do not meet a minimum password length. Its useful to help stop people from using trivial passwords where security is an issue.
[Hide Computer from the Browser List]
label1=If you have a secure server or workstation you wish to hide from the general browser list, then enable this setting. NOTE: It may take up to an hour for the server to disappear from the browse list.
[Require Validation by Network for Windows Access]
label1=By default Windows 9x doesn't require a valid network username and password combination for a user to bypass the logon and gain access to the local machine. This functionality can be changed to require validation by the network before allowing access. NOTE: The workstation must be a member of a Windows domain for this setting to be effective.
[Remove the Ability to Right Click on the Start Button]
label1=Usually when a user right clicks on the start button they are able to select Open, Explore or Find. Use this setting to remove these options and secure your desktop.
[Disable Menu Bars and the Start Button]
label1=This setting can be used to disable the menu bar in standard Windows applications and the Start Button.
[Drives Secure Access]
label1=This setting determines whether the ability to access removable drives, floppy drives and CD-ROM drives is available to other users.
[Restrict Access to the Event Logs]
label1=The Windows event log contains records documenting application, security and system events taking place on the machine. As these logs can contain sensitive data this setting allows you to restrict access to administrators and system accounts only.
[Configure CoolSwitch Application Swapping]
label1=CoolSwitch is a feature available within Windows to quickly switch between tasks and programs by using the Alt + TAB keys. Use these options to configure it.
[Repair the Registry Editor]
label1=This tweak allows you to reset the location and parameters of the Registry Editor (REGEDIT) back to the system defaults. This is useful if Regedit is not being displayed correctly.
[Display High Color Icons]
label1=If you like a bit more quality and detail in your icons, then this setting allows you to change the number of colors used to display icons. Show your Windows icons in all their high resolution glory. NOTE: You need a graphics card capable of displaying above 256 colors for this to be effective.
[Automatically View Thumbnails of Bitmap Files]
label1=Makes Explorer show a thumbnail version of bitmaps files in the current folder rather than the generic icon ordinarily used. This is a great way to preview .BMP files without having to open them first.
[Launch Windows Desktop in a Separate Process]
label1=By default Windows creates one multi-threaded Explorer process which contains the Desktop, Taskbar and all other explorer instances. If one of these instances fails, all instances will fail. When enabled, this option causes Windows to create separate processes insulating them from other failures. NOTE: This option may be not work well on IE 5 or 4.01 systems and also when active desktop is enabled.
[XP Folders Options]
label1=Option 1 controls whether Windows will attempt to re-open any folders that were already open when the system was last shutdown. Windows XP can run slowly when attempting to access a folder that contains a large number of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) media files. Option 2 speeds the process up by stopping Windows from extracting file information from AVIs.
[Change the Auto Complete Mode]
label1=This option controls whether the automatic text completion (AutoComplete) feature of Windows Explorer appends the suggested text to the words as you are typing as well as showing a drop-down list of available values. NOTE: This option also changes the auto complete functionality of Internet Explorer.
[File System Encryption]
label1=When you use Encrypting File System (EFS), you can store data securely because selected NTFS file system files and folders can be encrypted. Option 1 allows you to enable or disable EFS. You may find it easier to use the Encrypting File System (EFS) by placing "Encrypt" and "Decrypt" commands on the Windows Explorer context menu when a file is right-clicked with the mouse. So checked on option 2 to activate this feature.
[Search Files Settings]
label1=Modify search features on windows XP.
[Using Classic Search in XP]
label1=These settings allows you to disable the new Search Assistant and use the traditional search interface in Explorer and Internet Explorer.
[Change XP Default Search Options]
label1=These settings allow you to change the default search options used to search for files and folders on Windows XP.
[Show File and Folder Names Using the Correct Case]
label1=Some versions of Windows will attempt to adjust the capitalization of files and folders that are in all uppercase to make them more visually pleasing. For example, if you create a folder named "C:\ALLINCAPS" Windows will actually display it as "C:\Allincaps". This feature can be disabled using this option.
[Control Long Filename Support]
label1=Windows allows the use of long filenames on FAT partitions. Some legacy software may be incompatible with this new file system design, and may require the use of 8.3 filenames. This option will help you to turn off/on long filename support.
[Manage Windows Short File Extensions]
label1=Windows evaluates file extensions on the first three characters, therefore 'filename.html' is actually treated as 'filename.htm'. Therefore if you use a command such as 'del *.htm' to delete all the '.htm' files, you will also delete all '.html' files as well. To turn this off, you just enable this option.
[Automatic Boot Disk Optimization]
label1=Windows XP includes a new feature that will automatically optimize the the disks on boot if required. This option controls whether this feature is enabled.
[Disable the NTFS Last Access Time Stamp]
label1=When Windows accesses a directory on an NTFS volume, it updates the LastAccess time stamp on each directory it detects. Therefore, if there are a large number of directories, this can affect performance. To disable this feature use this option.
[Disable Low Disk Space Notification]
label1=This option controls whether you receive a "Low Disk Space" warning when free disk space reaches less than 200 megabytes.
[Disable Screen Saver When Disk Defragmenter Active]
label1=If the screen saver becomes active while using the disk defragmenter it can slow and interrupt the process. This option disables the screen saver when defrag is being used.
[Start Menu Scrolling]
label1=When there are more items on the Start Menu than can fit on the screen, Windows can either create a second column of items or it can create a scrolling menu. This option controls that functionality.
[Force Windows to Unload DLLs from Memory]
label1=Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory on low memory systems, and may cause problems or delays for programmers developing with Windows DLL files. This option can fix the problem.
[Icons Cache]
label1=If you desktop icons are redrawing too frequently or are corrupt, it could be because the icon cache is full. Try increasing the size by changing this setting. (Default=500)
[Repair the Icon Cache]
label1=Windows maintains a cached copy of all the icons on the system to avoid having to reload the icons every time they are displayed. If this icon cache becomes corrupt then the wrong icons may be shown. Use this setting if Windows is displaying incorrect or corrupted icons for your programs and shortcuts.
[Repair the Taskbar]
label1=If your taskbar has disappeared from the desktop or becomes hidden when you move your cursor near, it may be due to a corrupt registry key. Use this setting to fix it. NOTE: Close any open desktop and taskbar applications. then restart your PC.
[Universal Plug n Play Options]
label1=Windows XP supported Universal Plug n Play which allows Universal PnP devices to be connected over a network. To increase your PC security maybe you want to disable this features. Options 1 will disable Universal PnP device host. And Options 2 will disable Universal PnP searching service.

label1=In Windows 2000 you can see 'Eject PC' menu in your start menu. This option will remove that menu from your Windows 2000's start menu.
[PC Cards Options]
label1=When a PCMCIA device is removed from the socket without first being stopped, windows will show a warning messages. To disable this warning, just enable option 1.
[Convert IEEE Device to Dynamic Disk Drive]
label1=This features allows you to convert an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) 1394 (FireWire) disk drive to a dynamic disk drive. NOTE: Do not convert IEEE 1394 disk drives to dynamic disk drives if they are going to be moved to other hosts. This setting must only be used for drives that remain with a single host. Dynamic disks are not supported on portable computers or Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.
[Drives Options]
label1=By default Windows 2000 SP2, Windows XP and earlier versions of Windows do not support 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) for drives larger than 137GB. Option 1 will enable 48-bit support. Option 2 allows Windows to terminate interrupts from the hard disk controller, bypassing the ROM routine that handles these interrupts. NOTE: Some hard drives might require that this setting be disabled in order for interrupts to be processed correctly.
[Define the Printer Spooler Priority]
label1=Normally the printer spooler runs at the same priority as other services on a system. If your system is being mainly used for printing or handles a large number of print jobs you can use this option to change the priority class of the print spooler.
[Keyboard Options]
label1=This features help you to configure your keyboard options. Option 1 will configure keyboard repeat delay. You can set it to either 1, 2, 3 or 4 where 1=╝ second, 2=╛ second, 3=1╝ seconds, 4=2 second delay. Option 2 will change the number of keys inserted during a repeat operation. Number 31 is the fastest repeat. Option 3 will set your keyboard blink rate. NOTE: People who experience seizures in response to flashing lights or patterns may have problems with the blink rate if it is set at a frequency above 3 to 5.
[Mouse Port Options]
label1=Is your mouse cursor flickers sometimes or doesn't run as smoothly as you would like? It was because the refresh rate is set too low. Use option 1 to speed things up and make your mouse cursor move smoothly. Higher number means a smoother cursor. The default number is 60.
[Paged Memory Sizes Settings]
label1=The paged and non paged pool memory sizes is automatically set by windows. However using this options you can change the value. Option 1 will change the paged pool memory size. And option 2 will change the non-paged poll memory size. NOTE: Having invalid or values too small may cause Windows to display this error "Not enough server storage is available to process this command."
[Manage the QoS Packet Queuing]
label1=Option 1 specifies the maximum number of outstanding packets permitted on the system (Default value is 65535). When the number of outstanding packets reaches this limit, the Packet Scheduler postpones all submissions to network adapters until the number falls below this limit. NOTE: To change the setting back to default, just empty the box and press OK. It will automatically set the value back to default.
[Specified Users to Receive Administrative Alerts]
label1=This option is used to specify a list of users and/or computers that should receive administrative alerts.
[Connection Settings]
label1=Option 1 can be used to define what should be classified as low speed and what is a high speed connection. The default value is 2000 milliseconds, any connection slower is considered a low speed link. Windows will normally auto-detect the time-out on network links to determine their speed. Option 2 can be used to disable it if Windows is having problems determining the speed of your link. Option 3 will controll the error message that appeared when Windows is unable to contact a domain controller during a users login.
[Specified preferred Netware Server]
label1=Option 1 can be used to specified the netware server you want to use. Be sure you entered the correct Netware server name.
[Connection Settings (More)]
label1=Option 1 will show a hand icon placed under the shared folder. With this option you can remove/enable the icon. Option 2 is used to disable the mapped drive reconnect warning shown at startup when a network drive is unavailable. If you are experiencing problems with workstations flushing data to the server, then you can use option 3 to disable or enable file caching. Option 3 allows you to change the scope of the Internet proxy configuration and specify whether all users should share system-wide or individual settings.
[Specify the Schedule for Alerter Service]
label1=This Options is used to specify how often the server checks alert conditions and sends any required alert messages to administrative users. NOTE: By default alert messages are sent every 5 minutes, unless 10 alerts are pending or 5% of all network operations generate an error.
[Change the Client-Side DNS Caching Timeouts]
label1=Windows contains a client-side Domain Name System (DNS) cache with stores recent domain lookup entries. If you are experiencing caching or lookup problems you can disable or change the cache timeout. Option 1 will change the DNS cache timeout for positive responses (where a lookup was successful). Option 2 will change the DNS cache timeout for negative responses (where a lookup failed).
[Connection Settings (More -2-)]
label1=Option 1 allows you to control whether network adapters should send updates using dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS). When Option 2 is enabled, a popup dialog message is shown when the user successfully authenticates with a Windows domain. By default Windows will send SAP packets to advertise available file and print shares when 'File and Print Sharing for Netware Networks' is enabled, Option 3 controls those packets. Option 4 disables automatically logging on to Netware servers.
[Control Keep Alive Parameters for Win9x]
label1=These settings control how Windows manages connection keep alive transmissions. Including the timeout before keepalives are sent, the interval between keepalive transmissions and how often to send session keepalive packets on active sessions.
[Control Keep Alive Parameters for Win NT/2000/XP]
label1=These settings control how Windows manages connection keep alive transmissions. Including the timeout before keepalives are sent and the interval between keepalive transmissions.
[Connection Settings (More -3-)]
label1=Option 1 specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections accepted. Option 2 controls the period of time the system will wait before timing out when seeking LMHOSTS for name resolution. Option 3 controls which port is used for DNS lookup requests. In some firewall situations option 3 can be useful to specify an alternate port. Option 4 controls whether new network mappings should be created as persistent connections that are automatically reconnected at logon.
[Optimize Broadband Cable Modem and DSL Connections]
label1=Option 1 allows you to boost the speed of your broadband Internet connection when using a Cable Modem or DSL Router with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Option 2 allow you to boost the speed of your broadband Internet connection when using a Cable Modem or DSL Router with Windows 95, 98 and Millennium Edition.
[Configure Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)]
label1=Windows 98SE and Me include a feature called Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) which enables networked PCs to easily share a single Internet connection. Option 1 will enable/disable ICS. Option 2 will enable/disable DHCP server. Option 3 will enable/disable DNS server. You can see too about Intranet information here.
[Remote Assistance Settings]
label1=The Remote Assistance feature is a convenient way for an administrator to remotely connect to a computer and with permission view the screen, move the mouse, use the keyboard and chat online. Option 1 will enable/disable this feature.
[Connection Settings (More -4-)]
label1=By default, TCP/IP forwarding is not enabled in Windows, option 1 can be used to enable TCP/IP forwarding for all network connections that are installed and used by the computer. Windows has the option to automatically dial your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to establish an Internet connection. This feature can be controlled using option 2.
[Protocols Settings]
label1= Windows Messenger uses the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to attempt to locate upstream Internet gateways on UDP port 1900. Option 1 allows you to disable Universal Plug and Play Network Address Translation discovery to reduce bandwidth and increase security. Option 2 allows you to modify the size limit of incoming Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) packets. Option 3 controls modes used in the resolution of NetBIOS, including WINS and LMHOSTS lookups and broadcast queries.
[Change the Number of Simultaneous HTTP Sessions]
label1=Windows normally limits the number of simultaneous connections made to a single web server. This behavior can be seen in Internet Explorer when downloading multiple files from a web site and only a certain number will be active at any one time. Option 1 will change the Maximum simultaneous connections of a single HTTP 1.0 server (default is 4). And option 2 will change the Maximum simultaneous connections of a single HTTP 1.1 server (default is 2).
[Protocols Settings (More)]
label1=Option 1 specifies the period that NetBIOS names are cached before requiring an additional name query. Option 2 allows you to specify the period of time the system will wait before timing out broadcast name queries. Option 3 controls the number of attempts to resolve a NetBIOS name using a broadcast query.
[Protocols Settings (More -2-)]
label1=Option 1 control the maximum number of NetBIOS entries to store in the name tables. Option 2 control the maximum number of NetBIOS entries to store in the session tables.
[TCP/IP Settings]
label1=Option 1 determines the length of time that a connection will stay in the TIME_WAIT state before being closed. Reducing this value (default=240) will increase the maximum connection limit. The ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) comes enabled by default for Windows clients using DHCP. This can be a security issue because by spoofing IRDP Router Advertisements, an attacker can remotely add default route entries on a remote system. Option 2 will disable the DHCP router discovery.
[Harden the TCP/IP Stack for Denial of Service Attacks]
label1=Denial of service attacks are network attacks that are aimed at making a computer or a particular service unavailable to network users. These option can be used to increase the ability for Windows to defend against these attacks when connected directly to the Internet. Note: These values will not give the best performance due to additional checking and less optimization, but they will provide greater protection against attacks.
[Protect Against SYN Flood Attacks]
label1=Windows includes protection that allows it to detect and adjust when the system is being targeted with a SYN flood attack (a type of denial of service attack). When enabled the connection responses time out more quickly in the event of an attack. Note: When enabled then Scalable windows and TCP parameters that are configured on each adapter (including Initial RTT and window size) are no longer available.
[TCP/IP Settings (More)]
label1=The DHCP server can be configured send to unicast responses by enabling option 1. (Note: Versions of the DHCP server prior to Windows NT 4.0 ignored the broadcast flag in client DHCP packets, and broadcast all replies.) Option 2 determines how much memory IP allocates to store packet data in the router packet queue. When this buffer space is filled, the router begins discarding packets at random from its queue. (Note: The value should be a multiple of 256. Multiple buffers are chained together for larger packets.)
[TCP/IP Settings (More -2-)]
label1=Option 1 is used to control whether IP Security (IPSEC) tasks should be offloaded to a network card with IP security capabilities. Option 2 controls RFC 1323 timestamps and window scaling options. Timestamps and Window scaling are enabled by default. Option 3 controls whether or not Selective ACK (SACK - RFC 2018) support is enabled. With SACK enabled, a packet or series of packets can be dropped, and the receiver informs the sender which data has been received, and where there may be "holes" in the data.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -3-)]
label1=Option 1 determines whether TCP uses the RFC 1122 specification for urgent data or the mode used by BSD-derived systems. To enable RFC 1122 specification for urgent data just enable option 1. Option 2 determines the number of IP packet headers allocated for the router packet queue. When all headers are in use, the router will begin to discard packets at random from the queue. Option 3 determines to what extent the system supports IP multicasting and participates in the Internet Group Management Protocol.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -4-)]
label1=Option 1 specifies whether Windows should automatically detect and use an alternate gateway in the event of transmiting a segment several times without receiving a response. Option 2 specifies whether the stack will attempt to detect Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) routers that do not send back ICMP fragmentation-needed messages. Option 3 controls the number of TCP/IP connection attempts (SYN packets) to be transmitted before timing out.
[Change the PPPOE MTU Size]
label1=By default, a Windows XP PPPoE connection uses an MTU size that is 20 bytes less than the IP MTU of the LAN adapter over which the PPPoE packets are sent, which in most cases is 1480 bytes. If a lower MTU is required, then this tweak can be used to change the value. Note: The default and maximum PPPoE MTU size in Windows XP is 1,480 bytes.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -5-)]
label1=Option 1 determines the number of duplicate ACKs that must be received for the same sequence number of sent data before "fast retransmit" is triggered to resend the segment that has been dropped in transit (Default = 2). Enabling option 2 causes TCP to attempt to discover the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU or largest packet size) over the path to a remote host. By using option 3 it is possible for you to disable the source routing feature for the TCP/IP protocol.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -6-)]
label1=Option 1 can be used to set a global limit for the TCP window size on a system-wide basis. Option 2 specifies whether Windows should automatically detect and use an alternate gateway in the event of a failed gateway. Option 3 specifies the maximum number of connections that TCP may have open simultaneously. Option 4 controls the number of times TCP will retransmit an individual data segment before aborting the connection. Note: In Windows NT/2000 adjusting option 4 may adversely affect system performance.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -7-)]
label1=Option 1 determines the maximum amount of time an IP packet may live in the network without reaching its destination. Option 2 specifies whether the TCP/IP stack will attempt to perform path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1191. Option 3 specifies whether the stack will attempt to detect Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) routers that do not send back ICMP fragmentation-needed messages. Option 4 specifies how Windows should handle urgent data transfers.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -8-)]
label1=Option 1 controls the size of the TCP/IP receive Window. In general, larger receive windows work better with high-delay, high-bandwidth data (Default = 8192). Option 2 determines the number of times TCP will retransmit a connect request (SYN) before aborting the attempt. Option 3 specifies the default time to live (TTL) value for IP packets generated by the Windows TCP/IP stack. Option 4 determines the maximum TCP receive window size offered by the system.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -9-)]
label1=Enabling option 1 will force TCP/IP to transmit ARP queries with source routing enabled on Token Ring networks. Option 2 can be used to set a global limit for the TCP window size on a system-wide basis. Option 3 controls the initial retransmission timeout used by TCP on each new connection. Enabling option 4 forces TCP/IP to transmit Ethernet packets using 802.3 SNAP encoding.
[TCP/IP Settings (More -10-)]
label1=Option 1 specifies the default type of service (TOS) for IP packets generated by the TCP/IP stack for windows NT (See RFC 791 for a definition of the values). Option 2 same as option 1 but it's for Windows 95/98/Me. Option 3 defines the number of transmission retries will be transmitted before the connection is aborted.
[Control TCP/IP Routing Parameters]
label1=Option 1 control the total amount of buffer space to allocate for routing packets. Option 2 control the maximum number of packets that can be routed simultaneously.
[Configure LMHOSTS Lookup Options]
label1=The LMHOSTS file is used within Windows networking to specify domain resolution and lookup information. Option 1 can enable/disable LMHOSTS used. Option 2 specifies the number of #PRE entries to load (default = 100).
[WINS Settings]
label1=Option 1 specifies whether to send all IP addresses or only one IP address in response to a WINS query request. Option 2 control the initial WINS refresh timeout value. Option 3 controls whether the current computer should act as a WINS proxy agent and forward WINS name queries. Option 4 allows you to specify an alternate port number to use with all WINS name queries and registration requests.
