==================
[2]  INTRODUCTION
==================

-----------------------------------------
[2-1]	 A Word From Kent Daniel Bentkowski 
-----------------------------------------

Try mentioning the word Registry on the Windows 95 Technical 
Support telephone line, and the support technician that you 
are speaking to will tell you in no uncertain terms that Microsoft isnt supporting that feature to end users. Besides,
they try to convince you that youll trash your entire system 
if you so much as attempt to edit one single Registry entry. 

And yet, it is the one single feature in all of Windows 95 
that brings total system control to the user. If only theyd 
tell us how it works! The Windows 95 Resource Kit, which is a 
powerhouse technical manual the size of a phone book, contains
a scant eighteen pages on the Registry. Believe it or not, but 
the Resource Kit contains nearly as much information on their 
new online service The Microsoft Network.

Accepting the challenge, I plugged in the Configuration Backup
utility that comes with the Resource Kit, and began poking and
prodding the various Registry entries. I discovered small and
mundane techniques, like renaming the Recycle Bin, remapping
icon files so that the corresponding bitmap displays instead, 
and the secret to removing the Exchange Inbox from the Desktop.

And still, no documentation to speak of. 

Until now, that is. 

Enjoy! But, be careful out there . . . . 








----------------------------------------
[2-2]  About the Windows 95 Registry FAQ
----------------------------------------

The Windows 95 Registry FAQ is my attempt to fill in a fantastic void of information from Microsoft. This is just 
the first version of the FAQ, with much, much more to come. 
Among my future plans are to get a hold of the complete Registry API Command Reference, and rewrite it into english, 
so that people just like you and I can understand this stuff. 

Be sure to read this entire document before you venture off and trash your system. There are plenty of warnings and instructions herein to prepare you for the task at hand. Take
heed of my various warnings, as they are for your own good. 

Updates to the Registry FAQ will be released approximately
once every thirty days (give or take), or more frequently
as I learn some killer stuff to do with Windows 95!!

As soon as the Windows 95 Registry FAQ Home Page is finished,
I will post the URL everywhere you look . . . . 


------------------------------------------
[2-3]  Getting the Windows 95 Registry FAQ
------------------------------------------

Until further notice, send an e-mail request to the following address, to receive the Windows 95 Registry FAQ:

			regeditFAQ@aol.com

This document is freeware for the time being, until a book publisher can be located. Also, if anyone out there would 
like to post this FAQ to their World Wide Web home page, or 
to your FTP site or BBS, please do so, with my blessings. 

However, PLEASE send an e-mail to the address listed above
so that I can compile a list, and keep it up to date. 

Fair enough?


------------------------
[2-4]  Adding to the FAQ
------------------------

For complete information on how you can submit information
to be included in the Windows 95 Registry FAQ, please refer
to section [1-4]  Suggestions, Contributions, and E-Mail.
There you will find the procedures that you must follow to
add your voice to the Windows 95 Registry FAQ.


------------------------------------------------
[2-5]  The Win95-L Usenet Newsgroup Mailing List
------------------------------------------------

This group, in existence for about four months, has been a
consistent source of general Windows 95 discussion. Because
this was concurrent with the Preview Program and the final 
stages of eta testing, much discussion centered on the 
installation and configuration of the Windows 95 software. 

As the users Windows 95 experience has developed, the level
of intelligent discourse has risen dramatically. If you want
to know if a particular software program is compatible with 
Windows 95, or how to configure Winsock for use with the Netscape World Wide Web browser, then this is your place!

One caveat is that because this is an unmoderated discussion
group, the traffic is rather high, especially if you have an
account that is billed by the byte! Another warning is not all
discussion is entirely relevant, and certain members have been
known to stray wildly off topic at the slightest prod. 

But, if you still want to be an early adopter of Windows 95, 
this mail list is worth checking out. There is, after all, the
occasional gem to be found here . . . .

To subscribe to the Win95-List, send an e-mail message with 
the command SUBSCRIBE Win95-L in the body of the text. You
may also receive the list contents in digest form, by adding
the command SET digest Win95-L one line beneath the subscribe
command. 

Send your subscription request to the following address:

LISTSERV@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM

When you begin to receive your list postings, and you wish to 
post your own message to the list, you address your e-mail to 
this following address:

Win95-L@EVA.DC.LSOFT.COM

Sending to this address will allow your message to appear for 
all list members to read. 

Also, some time soon after August 24th, you might wish to do 
a Web Crawler search for the locations of the newly forming 
Windows 95 Newsgroups. There are at least two that I have 
heard of; one pertains to the installation of Windows 95, and 
the other, day to day general operations.

My BEST FRIEND from down under! It is Glenn who actually gave
me the idea to write the FAQ in the first place, by his listing
a small list of Win95 tips on the Internet. Since he is busy 
at Uni, I had the time, so I did the work, and brought out 
this FAQ. Thanks for the inspiration, Glenn!!

[2-7] Technical Support? Surely, you jest . . . !
-------------------------------------------------

Please be forewarned that neither Microsoft or the author of this FAQ is offering end-user technical support on the Registry
at this time. Dont waste your breath calling Microsoft Technical Support with questions regarding the Registry, they will REFUSE to offer assistance OF ANY KIND. 

Please save yourself the time and effort, and DO NOT send any
e-mail to the author of this FAQ asking for advice concerning 
technical support issues regarding the Registry and the editing
thereof. Any such e-mail will go unanswered, and will be immediately discarded. Neither Kent Daniel Bentkowski or Perfik 
Graphix is offering Windows 95 Registry Technical Support!!!

Having said that; I will say that if you insist on venturing
into the uncharted waters of the Windows 95 Registry Editor, 
please have the common sense to do the following before you 
begin each one of your editing sessions:

1.  Take two formatted 3.5 floppies, and make floppy-based
    back-ups of the Registry files:

		    SYSTEM.DAT		SYSTEM.DA0 
		    USER.DAT		USER.DA0

It is a good idea to update these back-ups immediately preceding each and every Registry editing session. That 
way, if a problem occurs, you have a safe back-up. 

DO NOT USE BACKUP.EXE TO MAKE THESE BACK-UPS!!! Simply copy these files to a floppy directly from Explorer. That way, 
you can quickly and SAFELY return to the configuration that 
was last working properly. 

If you have the Windows 95 Resource Kit, make sure you have 
the Configuration Backup installed in your system, and that 
it is used on a regular basis prior to each editing session. 

Lastly, you are completely on your own!

Be careful and best of luck to you!

Enjoy!

==========================
[3]  Registry Architecture
==========================

----------------------------------------------
[3-1] What exactly is the Windows 95 Registry?
----------------------------------------------

The Registry is a central database that is created by Windows 95 during installation. The entries in that database consist 
of the hardware, software, users, and preferences data for a single PC, or any PC on a network. Whenever the user makes changes to the Control Panel settings, File Associations, System Policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected in the Registry. 

These Registry settings can be viewed with the Registry Editor
(REGEDIT.EXE), which is installed into the Windows\System 
folder when Windows 95 is installed from CD-ROM. The floppy
disk version of Windows 95 will NOT install this editor. 

By default, REGEDIT.EXE will NOT appear on any of the systems 
menus, or the Start button. So, you will have to add your own
shortcut, or you can click on the START button, select RUN, 
and in the OPEN: command line type REGEDIT and press ENTER.
If the Registry Editor is installed on your system, it will 
appear on your Desktop, ready to use.

The Registry replaces the dreaded .INI files from Windows 3.1,
and because the information is presented in hierarchical form,
the Registry supports nested folders, which .INI files do not
support. One of the many benefits of this is that in a network
environment, users can log onto any PC in the network, just 
as it were the very same PC on their desk! In addition, 
several users can store configuration data on a single machine.

============== 	You can add the Registry Editor to your system
POWER TIP # xx	by using the right mouse button to drag the 
==============	file REGEDIT.EXE from Explorer to the Desktop.

Registry Editor displays the contents of the Registry in six 
subtrees called Keys. Keys can contain data strings, as well
as SubKeys. Each of these six Keys begins with Hkey_ which
indicates that it can be used by a program to access resources.

When you first look at the Registry Editor, this structure looks extremely complicated. Think of the Registry Editor as another type of Windows Explorer, only this explorer ventures into the uncharted waters of your systems configuration!



-------------------------------
[3-2]  Recovering Registry Data
-------------------------------

In Windows 95, data is written to the Registry only when a flush occurs  that is, when something happens after changed data has aged more than a few seconds or when an application intentionally flushes the data to the hard disk.

Each time Windows 95 successfully starts, the operating system backs up the Registry by copying the current SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files to SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0, respectively. If Windows 95 fails to start, the backed-up Registry from the last successful startup can be copied over the current Registry. This method recovers the last successful settings after a system failure.
		
If the Registry should ever become damaged, it can be salvaged
WITHOUT reinstalling Windows 95. All you have to do is look for
a hidden system file called SYSTEM.1ST in the root directory of the drive that hosts Windows 95. This file is a copy of the Registry that was created when Windows 95 setup was first deemed successful.

All you have to do is change the file attributes of the file
by locating it in the Windows 95 Explorer, and right clicking
on it. Choose properties, and then, the General Properties 
dialog appears. Change the file attributes from READ-ONLY and 
HIDDEN to ARCHIVE and copy it to the Windows 95 subdirectory. 

Then, rename the file from SYSTEM.1ST to SYSTEM.DAT, copying
over the corrupt file, and replacing it with workable system
profiles.  

============== 	You can also maintain back-ups of the Registry
POWER TIP # xx	with the Configuration Backup utility included
==============	on diskette with the Windows 95 Resource Kit.

To put it another way:

-----------------------
To restore the Registry
-----------------------

1	Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.

2	Click Restart The Computer In MS-DOS Mode, then click Yes.

3	Change to your Windows directory. For example, if your 	Windows directory is C:\Windows, you would type the 	following:
	
	cd C:\Windows

4	Type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each 	one. (Note that SYSTEM.DA0 and USER.DA0 contain the number 	zero.)
	
	attrib -h -r -s system.dat
	attrib -h -r -s system.da0
	copy system.da0 system.dat
	attrib -h -r -s user.dat
	attrib -h -r -s user.da0
	copy user.da0 user.dat

5	Restart your computer.

Following this procedure will restore your registry to its state when you last successfully started your computer.

Additionally, there is a file on your hard disk named SYSTEM.1ST that was created when Windows 95 was first successfully installed. You could also change the file attributes of this file from read-only and hidden to 
archive to copy the file to SYSTEM.DAT


---------------------------
[3-3]  Configuration Backup
---------------------------

It is sheer suicide to attempt to edit the Windows 95 Registry
without backing up the necessary files before you begin. There
is a little life-saver of a utility that comes with the Resource Kit called Configuration Backup (cfgback.exe). It not only lets the user backup the Registry data, but also allows the complete backup, restoration, and storage of up to NINE SEPARATE system configurations!

Besides, what I really recommend before you attempt to edit 
the Registry, is to first back up your present configuration,
and name it something meaningful, so it can be recognized in
the event that it needs to be restored at some point in the 
future. 

Later, if a mistake is made in editing the Registry, or if 
your latest changes have achived some rather undesireable 
and disasterous effects, all you have to do is open up the 
Configuration Backup and select RESTORE. After you reboot
your machine, the restored configuration returns your system
to the settings BEFORE the disaster took place. 

The end result here is that the regular use of this utility
will minimize the danger involved in editing the Registry, 
and can always return you to an earlier configuration of 
your own choosing. 

============== 	You can save up to NINE separate backups with
POWER TIP # xx	the Configuration Backup utility, and any one
==============	of them can restored after a disaster occurs.


----------------------------------------
[3-4]  The Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)
----------------------------------------

The Registry Editor is a powerful tool that configures and edits your Windows 95 system settings. Registry Editor can be used to view or modify a Registry on a local computer or on another computer over a network. Both the administrators computer and the remote computer require the Microsoft Remote Registry service to allow remote Registry access.

When you run the Registry Editor, it displays its data in two panes. On the left side, you have the six Keys, which are shown
as folders in My Computer. Each key can have a set of values.
Each value entry is comprised of three parts: the name of the key, its data type, and the value itself. 

The Registry Editor stores this information in .REG files, which are essentially text files containing the data in a specific format. If there is a small plus sign next to a key, then, it will have further data below called a SubKey. These
are more commonly known as nested folders, which simply means
that folders can themselves contain other folders. 

The value entries in the right pane are associated with the selected key in the left pane. A value entry has three parts:
the data type of the value (which appears as an icon), the 
name of the value, and the value itself. A value entry must 
limit itself to 64k or less, while the size of the actual total Registry is dependant on available hard disk space. 

Data types can either be Binary numerical data or readable text. Most of the hardware information is stored as binary data, and can be displayed as either binary or hexadecimal
information. 

Right-click anywhere in the Registry Editor, and you can 
create a NEW Key (or subkey), string value, binary value, 
or DWORD value. 





===========================
[3-5] The six Hkey_ handles
===========================

---------------------------
[3-5-1]  Hkey_Local_Machine  	
---------------------------
				
Contains computer specific information about the type of hardware, software, and other preferences on a given PC.
This information is used for all users who log onto this computer.


----------------------------
[3-5-2]  Hkey_Current_Config 	
----------------------------

This Key points to a branch of the Key Hkey_Local_Machine
\Config that contains information about the current hardware configuration.


----------------------
[3-5-3]  Hkey_Dyn_Data  	     
----------------------

This Key points to a branch of Hkey_Local_Machine that contains various bits of information regarding the Systems Plug and Play configuration. This information is DYNAMIC, meaning that it may change as devices are added to or removed from the computer. 


--------------------------
[3-5-4]  Hkey_Classes_Root  	
--------------------------

This Key points to a branch of Hkey_Local_Machine that describes certain software settings. This Key contains essential information about OLE and drag and drop operations, shortcuts, and core aspects of the Windows 95 GUI.


-------------------
[3-5-5]  Hkey_Users  		
-------------------

This Key contains information about the users that log onto the computer. Both generic and user-specific information is used, and each user who uses the system has their own Subkey.


--------------------------
[3-5-6]  Hkey_Current_User  	
--------------------------

This Key points to a branch of Hkey_Users for the user who is currently logged onto the system. 


-------------------------------------
[3-6] SubKeys of the six Hkey Handles
-------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------
[3-6-1] Hkey_Local_Machine may contain the following Subkeys
------------------------------------------------------------

SubKey	Description
------	--------------------------------------------------
Config	A collection of configurations for the local 				computer

Enum		Info. on the systems installed hardware devices

Hardware	Info. on the ports and modems used with 					HyperTerminal

Network	Info. Created when a user logs on to a networked PC

Security	Info. on network security and remote administration

Software	Info. about software and its configuration on 				system

System	The database that controls system start-up, device
		driver loading, Windows 95 services, and OS behavior
-------	----------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------
[3-6-1.1] Hkey_Local_Machine\Config
-----------------------------------

The Hkey_Local_Machine\Config subtree contains information about alternate hardware configurations for the computer. For example, it can contain information about multiple configurations to be used when the computer is connected to a network, when it is undocked from a docking station, and so on. Each alternate configuration is assigned a unique identifier, and this configuration ID has a subkey under the Config key. Each configuration appears in the list of hardware profiles in the System option in Control Panel.

When Windows 95 checks the hardware configuration at system startup, one of three things occurs:

	In most situations, the configuration ID is mapped to a 	unique configuration and Windows 95 selects the 	appropriate one automatically, and the settings for the 	related Config subkey are used for system configuration.

	If the user is starting the computer for the first time 	with new hardware components, Windows 95 creates a new 	configuration for the new configuration ID, and a new 	Config subkey is added to the Registry.

	If the configuration ID is mapped to more than one 	configuration (for example, because Windows 95 cannot 	distinguish between two configurations), the user is 	prompted to choose which configuration to use.


---------------------------------
[3-6-1.2] Hkey_Local_Machine\Enum
---------------------------------

Windows 95 bus enumerators are responsible for building the hardware tree. This includes assigning an identification code to each device on its bus and retrieving the devices configuration information, either directly from the device or from the Registry. For more information about the hardware tree and bus enumerators, see Introduction to System Configuration, and Windows 95 Architecture. 

Bus enumeration information is stored in the Hkey_Local_Machine\Enum subtree. For all types of devices, subkeys contain information such as device type, assigned drive letter, hardware ID, and device manufacturer, plus driver-related information for network components.

The following table shows which devices are enumerated in typical subkeys.

------	---------------------------------------
Subkey	Device enumeration
------	---------------------------------------
ESDI		Fixed disk devices
FLOP		Floppy disk devices
ISAPNP	Plug and Play devices on an ISA bus
Monitor	Monitor devices
Network	Network protocol, server, and bindings
Root		Legacy devices
-------	---------------------------------------


-------------------------------------
[3-6-1.3] Hkey_Local_Machine\Hardware
-------------------------------------

Information about serial ports and modems used with the HyperTerminal program. 


------------------------------------
[3-6-1.4] Hkey_Local_Machine\Network
------------------------------------

Network information created when a user logs on to a 
networked computer, including the user name, primary 
network provider, whether the logon was validated by 
a server, and information about the system policies 
processor.


-------------------------------------
[3-6-1.5] Hkey_Local_Machine\Security
-------------------------------------

Information about the network security provider and 
remote administration capabilities.


-------------------------------------
[3-6-1.6] Hkey_Local_Machine\Software
-------------------------------------

The Hkey_Local_Machine\Software subtree contains configuration information about all installed software that can write information in the Registry. The entries in this key apply for anyone using this particular computer, and include definitions for file associations and OLE information. 
The software subkey contains, for example, the information you add when registering an application to use a specific filename extension and information added during installation of Windows-based applications.

The Hkey_Local_Machine\Software subtree contains several subkeys, including the Classes subkey, plus description subkeys for all installed software that can write to the Registry, as described in the following sections.






-----------------------------------
[3-6-1.7] Hkey_Local_Machine\System
-----------------------------------

The data in Hkey_Local_Machine\System is organized into control sets that contain a complete set of parameters for device drivers and services that can be loaded with Windows 95.
All data that controls startup is described in the CurrentControlSet subtree under Hkey_Local_Machine\System. This control set has two parts:

	The Control key contains information used to control 	system startup, including the computers network name and 	the subsystems to start. 

	The Services key contains information to control the 	loading and configuration of drivers, file systems, and so 	on. The data in the Services key also controls how these 	services call each other.

===========================
[4]  Customizing Windows 95
===========================

------------------------------------
[4-1]  Icons from the actual bitmaps
------------------------------------

Did you know that you can make the icons of bitmap files, from the actual bitmap? With OLE 2, they can also automatically update themselves, as they are edited.
	
	Heres all you have to do:

	1.  Run the Registry Editor (regedit.exe)

	2.  Open the HKey_Classes_Root key

	3.  Open the Paint.Picture folder. 

	4.  If there isnt a DefaultIcon folder, you will have to 		    create one. You can do that by selecting the Key 		    Paint.Picture, and right clicking on it. Select NEW, 
	    and then select KEY. What will happen then is a new 	                	    folder will appear under the Paint.Picture folder. 

	5.  Rename this new folder DefaultIcon.

	6.  Open the new DefaultIcon folder that you just created.

	7.  Double-click on the default item.

	8.  Change the value from (value not set) to %1

	9.  Exit the Registry Editor. 

That is all there is to it! And, now you have some KILLER .BMP icons! One caveat is that they may display a little slower than regular icons!	But, to be honest with you, the effect is stunning, and makes the files a hell of a lot easier to identify when you are in Windows 95 Explorer.

Try it and see for yourself!


----------------------------------
[4-2]  Drag shortcuts onto Desktop
----------------------------------

Any OLE 2.0 compatible application, that lets you drag text or other objects, will let you drag onto the Windows 95 desktop.
These shortcuts appear as icons on the desktop.

Shortcuts can be dragged back into any OLE 2.0 application.
The result is another way of cutting and pasting that is very easy, and very handy. You can have as many shortcuts on the desktop as you like.

You can have shortcuts to files, folders, disk drives, printers, help files, programs, just to name a few brief examples. 


----------------------------------------------
[4-3]  Change the Desktop Folders Default.Icon
----------------------------------------------

In the registry find the Key listed directly below: HkEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\DefaultIcon

The default value should read something like this example: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\shell32.dll,3  	

This value points to the 4th icon (0,1,2,3) in the file Shell32.dll.  To change this you need to replace this default value with the full path to the icon file.  If the icon is imbedded in a dll like the current icon is, you need to know its placement in the sequence.  The first icon in a dll is always 0, the next is 1, then 2, you get the idea.


--------------------------------------------------------------
[4-4]  A simple way to add the Control Panel to the Start Menu
--------------------------------------------------------------

All you have to do is drag a shortcut to the control panel onto
the start button. The result of that action is that the Control
Panel will appear as a selection on the start menu. It is a very nice trick, but it is, as you will see when you read the very next tip, extremely limited!







----------------------------------------------
[4-5]  Control Panel Power at your fingertips!
----------------------------------------------

While the above tip places the Control Panel on the Start Menu,
you still have to go through the Start Button, select Control
Panel, and click your way through any number of Properties Dialogs and Settings tabs. Not too convenient after all.

All you have done is created a shortcut to the Control Panel, 
a pointer that opens a regular folder window from which you 
still must choose a Control Panel applet. 

Now, with the technique below, youll get a cascading menu 
off of the main Control panel item. All applets are presented
as choices in this submenu. In fact, where in the main Control
Panel window, you cannot select which applets youd like to 
display (or possibly remove), but here, the choices are completely customizable. 

In fact, Id suggest that you try both tips, and let the menu
selections reside next to each other. Try them both and see
which of the two is a better idea. Im pretty positive that 
you will agree with me that the second idea is the way to go.


	1. Right click the Start Button. Choose EXPLORE.
	
	2. Explorer opens with a view of the Start Menu.

	3. Right click in the right-hand pane. 

	4. Left click "New" and then "Folder".
	
	5. This will create an icon called "New Folder". 

	6. Type Binary I.D. # for Control Panel to create 
        a name for this new folder, including braces & hyphens.

        Control Panel {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

	7. When finished, press ENTER.

	8. Open up this new folder and copy the shortcuts to the 
        Control Panel applets that you want to appear on the
        cascading menu. Place them in this newly created
        folder.

	9. Close Explorer when finished.



	10. The next time that you click on START, the Windows 95
         Control Panels applets appear ready to use in a            	    cascading menu! Very cool!

You can also use this same technique to do the same with your
My Computer, Printers, disk drives, and Dial-Up Networking folders. Just make sure that you have the proper binary I.D. for the cascading menu that you are trying to create. 

Printers {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

The Control Panel is a special kind of folder in Win 95. Executables such as Control Panel and other resources have their own unique IDs in the Windows 95 registry.

To see these, click the Start, Run, type REGEDIT and click OK. In the Registry Editor that appears, click Edit, Find and search for 21EC2020. This takes you to a section 	that identifies Control Panels' ID number and that of many other resources.


----------------------------------------
[4-5-1]  Still More Control Panel Power!
----------------------------------------

The ONLY problem that I ran into when I tried the tip above, 
was the menu choice that was created from that technique was
that items binary data string, instead of simply, Printers. 
But, I figured that at least the cascading submenu would indeed
reveal what choices were available . . . . until I was sent
the true answer. 

These steps below will create a cascading submenu off of the Start Menu. Try BOTH tips, [4-5] and [4-5-1], and see what I
mean by the differences in the two:


-------------------------------------
[4-5-2]  Start Menu Cascading Folders 
-------------------------------------

	1. Right click on the Taskbar Start Button.

	2. The Context Menu appears. Select Open.

	3. A window, displaying the contents appears.

	4. Right click on any unoccupied area of window.

	5. Another context menu appears. Select New Folder.

	6. The name you give this new folder will also be
	   the menu selection on the Start Menu. 

	7. Open up this new folder, and create new shortcuts 
	   or simply copy existing ones. You can also add 
	   folders, which creates another cascading menu
	   off of the new submenu you are creating.

	8. Youll know youre in business when you see that 
 	   your new folder, along with its right-pointing
	   arrow appears on the Start Menu. 

 	9. Close whatever windows or folders that are open.
		

---------------------------------------------------- 
[4-6]  What you need to know to edit the Recycle Bin
---------------------------------------------------- 

	Click on Start then Run
	type in regedit  click on OK

	This starts the registry editor.  

	Highlight the entry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
	Now use Find to find the recycle bin entry.  
	To do this click on Edit then Find.  For the Find what 	entry use recycle.  

	After it searches it will come up with an entry on the 	right hand side of the screen that looks like this: 

     	NAME                            	DATA
	[icon](Default)                 	"Recycle Bin"

	Highlight Default and right click, choose modify.  

	Where it says Value Data type in whatever name you want 	for the recycle bin.  

	Now Close the registry editor and and restart Windows 95.  
	Your Recycle Bin will now show whatever name you have 	decided on. 


-----------------
Changing the icon
-----------------

If you want to change the default icon for the Recycle Bin, 
just look for the Key DefaultIcon when you are at the SubKey
above. There are two default icons for the Recycle Bin, one
full and the other empty. The defaults are listed below:

		Empty Recycle Bin - SHELL32.DLL,31

		Full Recycle Bin - SHELL32.DLL,32

		Default Recycle Bin - same as empty

When Windows 95 starts, the Default Icon for the Recycle Bin 
is briefly shown while the system determines whether the Bin
is either full or empty. In either case, the value for the 
Default Icon is dynamic; meaning that the current status of 
the Recycle Bin (empty or full) is always written into the 
Registry to keep it up to date. 

If you want to change the Recycle Bin icons, all you have to 
do is enter the path where the icon is located, as above. If
the path is to an .ICO file, you dont have to have the 
number indicating the icons position in the .DLL file. 

Please remember that the Default is always equal to Empty. 

MAKE SURE THE RECYCLE BIN IS EMPTY BEFORE YOU EDIT THE ICONS. THAT WAY, THERE WILL BE NO CONFUSION AS TO THEVALUE OF THE DEFAULT. 


-----------------------------------------------
[4-7]  Removing unwanted items from the Desktop
-----------------------------------------------

When Windows 95 configures the system during install, it places several default icons on the Desktop. Among them are My Computer, Recycle Bin, Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Network icons. When you right click on these icons, youll find that there is no way to remove them. However, here is another undocumented trick that works every time:

	1.  Go to the following Key in the Registry Editor:
	    Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows
	    \CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

	2.  What you will find there are a list of items that were                                                                                                                                                                              	    placed on your Desktop during installation. A few 	  	    examples: Inbox, Microsoft Network, and Recycle Bin. 

	3.  All you have to do is remove the item that you want 	
         off of the Desktop.
		
			INBOX - {00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}


	4.  If you want, the Recycle Bin can be removed this way 	
	    as well, although why someone would want to delete
	    this helpful utility is unclear to me at this time.

[4-8]  How to change the My Computer Default icon
-------------------------------------------------

Change icon of my computer: 

	1. Search for My Computer - or what you have named it
	   (This will be be a string's value and be on right)

	2. Tab to go to the hex name of My Computer.

	3. Under this hex name key, find subkey default icon.

	4. This contains the "file, number of icon in file 
	   (starting from 0)"

	5. Change this to any "icon file, number of icon"

	6. BE CAREFUL (Not too hard for super power users)


-----------------------------
[4-9]  Renaming My Computer
-----------------------------

Although nowhere near as dorky as Microsoft BOB, in Windows 95, there appears an icon on the Desktop called My Computer.

Urrghhh----!

Couldnt this be something more realistic like 486/66 DX-2?

The answer is YES!

There are actually TWO ways to do this; one is done right on the Desktop, while the other involves the Registry Editor:

-------------------------------
Rename MY COMPUTER via Desktop:
-------------------------------

	1. Right-Click on My Computer icon. 

	2. Select Rename from Context Menu.

	3. Type in your computers new name, and press Enter. 


--------------------------------
Rename MY COMPUTER via Registry:
--------------------------------

	1. Open up Registry Editor, and go to the following:

		HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID

	2. Locate the binary data string that identifies the 
         My Computer entry:

		My Computer {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

	3. In the right pane, right-click on Default Name.

	4. Choose MODIFY, and the Edit String dialog appears.

	5. Type in the new name in Value Data, and choose OK.

	6. Close the Registry Editor, and reboot your machine. 


----------------------------------------
[4-10]  Dragging Scraps to the Desktop
----------------------------------------

With Windows 95, you can drag Scraps from your documents
to the Desktop, or to folders, to create Document Scraps.
With these scraps, you can archive elements of your documents
for later use or for sharing them with another person.

(Tested in WordPad only)

You might wish to experiment with this, and see if it works
with other file types and applications. If you discover more
about Scraps, please feel free to submit the addition to 
this FAQ, for inclusion in a later update. The procedure for
this is outlined in section [1-4]. If your submission can be
verified for accuracy, you will be listed in the acknowledgements section of the FAQ!


-----------------------------------------
[4-11] If you want to leave the Net hood	
-----------------------------------------

If Windows 95 installs the Network Neighborhood icon on your
Desktop, and you cannot seem to find a way to delete it, and
it is taking up space youd rather have for something else, 
here are TWO ways to leave the Net hood!

		1.  	You can open up the System Policy Editor
			(poledit.exe) and open registry-local user
			-Shell-Restrictions-Hide . . . 

		2.	The second method is described in section
			[4-7] Removing unwanted items from the
			Desktop. As described there, Windows 95 
			installs several icons on the Desktop by
			default --- not everyones needs are exactly
			the same, so just delete what you dont
			need!

NOTE: I use PowerMail for America Online as my Internet 
e-mail shell. But, when I installed Windows 95, something 
that I didnt want suddenly appeared on my Desktop --- the Exchange Inbox and The Microsoft Network icon! 

Since I have no intention of ever joining the Microsoft 
Network, I didnt need either of these two icons! But, 
when I r.clicked, DELETE simply wasnt an option with 
either of these! (Is this Microsofts way of getting us
to join the Microsoft Network? Theyre going to have to 
do better than that for me to ever consider joining!!)

So, following the very same instructions as outlined in 
section [4-7] as mentioned above, I was able to remove 
these items from my Desktop that have no DELETE choice 
on either of the context menus that appear on the Desktop.

So, it can be done! Microsoft wont give you this 
information, but I WILL! 


------------------------------------------
[4-12] Change the Desktops default folder
------------------------------------------

	1. Go to the following Registry SubKey:

		HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\DefaultIcon

	2. The current default icon points to the file SHELL32.dll
	   in the Windows 95 System folder, and to the fourth icon
	   in the series, which is actaully 3, because in .DLL 	    	   files, the numbering starts at zero, and not one. 

	3. You can change the .DLL file and the icon to whatever 	 	   you would like to see on your system. For example, PC 	 	   Tools For Windows 2.0 has a DLL file called FOLDERS.dll 	   which contains about 100 variations of the folder. 


	4. Make sure that you follow the following syntax:

		C:\Win95\System\Shell32.dll,x

	   Whereas x is the number of the icon in the DLL that 	 	   you wish to have replace the default. 

	5. Close the Registry Editor, and reboot your machine.

[5]  Fine Tuning Windows 95
===========================

-----------------------------------------
[5-1]  New design for the Start-Up screen
-----------------------------------------

Tired of that blatant advertising come-on for a product you
already own and have on your machine, every time you start
your machine? Of course, I am referring to the official You are now starting Windows 95 splash screen. Perhaps you might like your favorite spiritual quotation to appear in its place?
Or maybe Beavis and Butthead huh-huh-heh-ing your way into Windows 95 is more your style.

Well, in order to escape Microsofts mighty corporate wrath
yet again, all you have to do is the following:

1. Create an alternate screen using LOGOW.sys as a template. 
	
			You want to use this particular file as your
			template to assure that you are getting the
			color depth and aspect ratio correct. 					Otherwise, the system might not display the 				colors properly, or worse yet, crash.

2. Save it in .BMP format, and make a copy of it and call that 
   copy LOGO.sys, placing the file in your systems root   
   directory (i.e. C:\). Also make sure that the replacement
   logo isnt larger than 127k in size. 

3. Go to the Start Menu, and select Shut Down. 

4. Reboot your machine, and you will see your artwork instead
   of Microsofts!






--------------------------------------------
[5-2]  Turn off the Windows 95 Start-up Logo
--------------------------------------------

To remove the Windows 95 logo on start-up, you can do                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              the following:

		1. Open the file msdos.sys in the MS-DOS Editor.

		2. Find the [Options] section.

		3. Add the following line to the [Options] section:

		4. Reboot your computer, and there will be no logo
		   on start-up!

		5. The default setting here is: Logo=1 which adds
              the default animated Start-Up Logo.


-------------------------------------------
[5-3]  New designs for the Log Off screens
-------------------------------------------

Quite a few of the Preview Program participants who have 
young, pre-reading age children have complained that the 
two Windows 95 Log Off screens look too similar, as to be
confused by someone young who cannot yet read the words. 

Well, these can be modified, by the user, to a design that
is more suitable for use by young children. Perhaps, you 
just want to change these screens for your own reasons. It 
can easily be accomplished. Heres how:

there are two separate files involved, which correspond to 
the Wait while shutting down and You may safely turn off
screens that are displayed during this sequence. Respectively,
they are LOGOW.sys and LOGOS.sys (notice the W & S, for wait
and safe?!) and can be found in the Windows 95 root directory. 

Even though both have a .SYS extension, they are actually 
normal .BMP files. To edit these files, simply make backup copies of both of them, and save them into a separate 
directory, away from the Windows 95 root directory. The 
reason you are doing this, is so you have a back-up of the 
originals in case your luck with these things is as good 
as mine!

When you make the back-ups, rename both files so they have 
.BMP extensions. Now, you are ready to load them into a 
program like MS-Paint, or Corel Photo-Paint. Edit them in 
whatever way you like, but make sure that you change nothing
with regard to the files resolution or color depth. 

When you are finished, rename them (after making another separate backup of the new modified files) back to the 
original names of LOGOW.sys and LOGOS.sys and copy them
back into the Windows 95 root directory, and reboot your 
computer. If all works the way it SHOULD, the next time 
you Shut Down, you will see your custom Log Off screens!

============== 	If you have children that operate your PC,
POWER TIP # xx	you can change these screens to something
==============	like a stop sign, a green light, or even
			the childs favorite cartoon hero! 
			

-----------------------------
[5-4]  Edit essential folders
-----------------------------

To change the name and/or location of some of the essential 
system folders (such as: Desktop, Fonts, Programs, Send To,
Start Menu, etc.) open up the Registry Editor, and go to the 
following SubKey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurtrentVersion/
Explorer/ShellFolders

Simply edit the data of your choice!


-----------------------------------------------
[5-5]  Boot to MS-DOS 7.0 instead of Windows 95
-----------------------------------------------

If you would prefer that Windows 95 boot up in a MS-DOS
session, instead of the GUI, you need to do the following:

	1. Open up the MSDOS.sys file in MS-DOS Editor.

	2. Find the line BootGUI=1 and change it to BootGUI=0

	3. If by chance, your system doesnt have this item in the 
	   MSDOS.sys file, simply add the line BootGUI=0 near 	  	   the top of the entire file. 

	4. Save the changes, quit the Editor, and reboot your PC. 

	5. When your system starts, it will bring up the familiar
	   MS-DOS session! 


-------------------------------------------------
[5-6]  Quickly clearing the Recent Documents Menu
-------------------------------------------------

The DOCUMENTS cascading menu off of the Start Menu is always
filling itself up, and is usually twenty miles long. Then, if
you want to empty it, you have to play click-click-click with 
the Start Menu. 

Wouldnt it be easier if you had an icon right on the Desktop
that did this?

Well, pull up a chair. And listen carefully . . . .

	1. Create a batch file with the following line:

		echo y| del \windows\recent\*.*

	2. Save file in a convenient directory, such as 	 	 	   Windows\Command

	3. Create a shortcut to that batch file right on the 	 	   Desktop

	4. Right-Click on the shortcut, and choose Properties.

	5. Select the Program tab.

	6. Under RUN, choose Minimized.

	7. Check the CLOSE ON EXIT checkbox underneath the 
	   RUN box.

	8. Click on OK, and close the dialog.

Now, to empty the Most Recently Used Documents Folder, 
all you have to do is double-click on the shortcut you 
just created. 

This is a really cool undocumented feature, try it!


--------------------------------------------
[5-7] To change font size on Taskbar buttons
--------------------------------------------

	1. Right-click anywhere on Desktop, context menu appears.

	2. Select Properties, then the Appearance tab.

	3. Select Active Title Bar in Item: drop down list. 

	4. Adjust font size and select Apply to see what it 
	   looks like.

	5. Select SAVE AS. Choose a name for your color scheme in 
	   the Save Scheme dialog box. 

	6. Select OK to close Display Properties.

Remember that this selection not only changes the Taskbar 
button font and size, but also the Active Title Bar in all
of the programs that you run in Windows 95. So, choose a 
font that looks acceptable and readable in both places. 

That is all that there is to it!


-------------------------------------------
[5-8]  Recorder: A Character Map Workaround
-------------------------------------------

Probably the most glaring omission in the entire Windows 95 Operating System package is the absense of a script editing language. Everything else from OS/2 Warp, Apples System 7,
and even PC Tools does, however. What were the Systems engineers in Redmond thinking, anyway?

I mean, Word 6.0 has its own WordBasic, and Excel 5.0 has 
a Visual Basic subset called Visual Basic for Applications. 
So, why doesnt Windows 95 have its own language, as well?
I know that YOU cannot tell me, but I just thought that I 
would throw it out into the aether. 

So, we are left with Windows Recorder; that poor replacement
for a proper editing langauage. So, until Microsoft wises up, 
a puts a subset of either Visual Basic, FoxPro, or C++ into 
this or a future version of Windows, we are stuck with this 
most rudimentary macro recorder/player. 

So, for those of you who have never really used Recorder, 
here are two tips for you; the first explaining how to use
the Recorder to record a macro, and the second, explaining 
how to insert symbols (ANSI characters) into a Recorder macro
for later playback:

To record a macro, first open a window for the application 
in which you want to record the macro, such as WordPad. Next, 
switch to the Recorder windows using Alt+Tab. Turn on all 
the options in the Recorders Options menu (such as Minimize
on use). Set the Preferences to Any Application, Fast, and 
Ignore Mouse. The click Macro Record and select a Hotkey 
(such as Ctrl+Alt+C) in the dialog box that appears. Once you
have done this, click the Start button. The Recorder window
should reduce to a blinking icon, which indicates that you 
are recording a macro.

At this point, DONT TOUCH YOUR MOUSE!!! But rather, in the
application window, type Space, Shift+Period (the greater
than sign), Backspace, Alt+0169, Space. Then press Ctrl+Break
to stop recording. In the dialog box that appears, press S
to save your macro, then Enter to exit.

Now, try your macro by pressing the hotkey that you selected.
You should see the  symbol inserted into your application.

Remember to click File Save in the Recorder window and save
your macro to a file, such as MACROS.REC. then create an
icon in your Start Up group with the command line MACROS.REC.
That will load Recorder and the macro file.

In all my years with Windows 3.1, I could never figure out 
a way to insert special ANSI characters like the  copyright
symbol into macros written with Recorder. Well, there is a 
major secret, here. Come a little closer, and Ill tell 
you all about it . . . 

the undocumented way to make the Recorder accept an Alt+
Keypad combination is to precede the combination with the 
following keystrokes:

Space, Shift+Period, Backspace, Backspace. Then, you type
Alt+0169 or whatever. You could follow this special character
with a space or other character to return Recorder back to
its normal mode of recording keystrokes. 

This is a great alternate method of insterting those special
characters youre always hunting for in the Character Map
charts. 

The Recorder icon should be found on the Accessories menu, 
off of the Start Menu. If it isnt there, go to the Start
button, and select RUN, and type RECORDER.EXE into the dialog
box that appears.  


---------------------------------------
[5-9] What are the Windows 95 Tune Ups?
---------------------------------------

As we all have come to realize; there hasnt been, and probably never will be, an Operating System upgrade that doesnt contain at least a few bugs. With over 70,000 individual software developers writing Windows-based applications, there simply is
too much out there for every single application to run perfectly. It just isnt going to happen in our lifetimes.

Windows 95 is no different. When Windows 95 went GOLD on 
July 14, 1995, Microsofts engineers still hadnt completed
their bug-stomping. But, committed to an August 24th roll
out, it had to be sent to manufacturing to meet that deadline.
The Microsoft solution to this will be something called the 
Windows 95 Tune Up packs. 

They will be FREE add-on bug patches that will be released on a  regular periodic basis, and are rumored to be available ONLY on the Microsoft Network. 

NOTE:		As of the August issue of Windows magazine, these 
		Tune-Up Packs are now rumored to be available as a
		quarterly subscription . . . for a price yet to be
		determined! STAY TUNED!


-------------------------------------
[5-10] My Two Favorite Features . . .
-------------------------------------

Id like to consider myself to be a Windows 95 Power User. 
I have put in about ten to twelve hours each and every day since I received my copy of the Preview Program CD-ROM back 
on April 14, 1995. So, in just four short months, I have personally logged nearly two-thousand hours of Windows 95 
usage. 

During this time, I have learned quite a lot, grown to like some things about Windows 95 that arent so great, and have come to love some features that are truly amazing, at least
in my book. 

There have been several published reports describing the 
TOP 35 features in Windows 95. And it is amazing to me 
that my two personal favorite features were completely 
passed by. They are called Open With and Send To, and I 
think they are probably two of the top FIVE most useful 
features in the entire Operating System. 

Allow me to tell you how you can make these two features 
work for you. They can do more than you might at first 
realize . . . 

Both of the Send To and Open With features enable the user
to bypass file extensions and allow you to open a document 
in the application of your choice. But, thats just for starters. The real benefit occurs when you actually try them!

Double-Click on a file that has no associated extension, 
and up pops the Open With dialog, which is a menu of programs 
and their defined associations. To get this same menu with 
an associated file, simply press SHIFT while Right-Clicking
on the file icon, then choose Open With from the Context Menu.
Checking the box Always use this program to open this file
will change the association for all files with the same
extension.

Although it is very useful, Open With is restricted only to
use with applications. Send To on the other hand, will work 
with practically everything on your system; applications, 
folders, disk drives, hard drives, printers, and FAX modems.

The Send To fly-out menu, which appears on almost all of the 
systems Context menus, is actually the contents of the 
Send To folder, which is a subfolder of the Windows 95 folder. 
This means that the menu is totally customizable. To add 
something to it, just create a shortcut and drop it into the
Send To folder. 

-----------------------------
A Look Into My Send To Folder
-----------------------------

I have customized my Send To menu so that the things that I 
do the most are right there for me, in that handy, Right-Click context menu. I am merely describing my set-up so that you 
can get some ideas of your own into the potential of this 
extremely powerful feature of Windows 95. 

I have added my 3 and 5 inch floppy drives, the Desktop, PC Tools File Viewer (which is better IMHO than Windows 95s
own QuickView), Media Player, MS-DOS Editor, Notepad, Paint,
Printers, Recycle Bin, WinZip 95, Word 6.0a, and WordPad. 

In addition, I have one further item; Any Folder . . ., which
was installed from the Microsoft Windows 95 PowerToys freeware
add-on. With Any Folder, I can send a file to any destination
I wish. PowerToys is a must-have Windows 95 utility, and I
tell you what it is and where to get it in section [12-3]
of this very FAQ!

You of course, can customize your own Sent To folder anyway
you wish as well. With my set-up as it is, with just a single
mouse click, I can view any file format I can create on my 
system without launching the associated application with my 
File Viewer. I dont use QuickView because it wont let me 
cut and paste to the clipboard, export, or print right from 
the viewer, while the Viewer from PC Tools will let me do 
all of those things, plus many others. 

I can send a file almost anywhere; from a floppy, to another
directory, to the Recycle Bin, to the Desktop. I can also 
add to or create a new .ZIP file, or preview any multimedia
file on the Media Player. 

With my Printers, I have four choices to pick from. I have
my LaserJet and my 24-pin Panasonic dot matrix. In addition,
I have created a custom Print To File driver, and my 
WinFax Pro print driver is here also. This way, if I wish
to send a fax, all I have to do is drag the file to the 
Fax print in Send To, and I bypass opening up the program,
loading the Send Log, and activating the Manual Send command. 
It is that easy!

Adding the Desktop to the Send To folder requires a little
trick to get it right. Thats because the Create Shortcut 
command DOES NOT appear on the Desktops context menu. To 
compensate, you will have to create a shortcut to the Desktop
folder, which is hidden by default. 

To locate the Send To folder, first select the Windows 95 folder, press F3 to start a search, and type desktop and 
press ENTER. When the Desktop folder appears in the Search
Results window, right-click on it, choose Create Shortcut
and click Yes to put it on the Desktop. Drag the new shortcut
into the Send To folder. Thats all there is to it!!

I hope that showing you these examples leads you to a few ideas
for your own Send To configuration.


==================================
[6]  Problem Solving in Windows 95
==================================	

---------------------------------------------------
[6-1]  If an application cannot find its Help File
---------------------------------------------------

If you have an application that is having trouble finding its Help File, you can add its file name and full path to the following key:
	
	Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Help
	
There should already be several examples already listed. Just add to them!!





---------------------------------
[6-2]  A tip for Multi-Boot users
---------------------------------

If you are tired of hitting F8 every time you boot your PC,
here is a quick fix that will present a Boot Menu every 
time you start your machine:

	1. Open up your MSDOS.sys file in the MS-DOS Editor.

	2. Add the following line to the [Options] section:

	3. BootMenu=1

	4. Save changes, and exit MS-DOS Editor. 

	5. Reboot your PC, and your new Boot Menu will appear!

In addition, you can add the following line to the [Options]
section of the MSDOS.SYS file (as above):

	BootMenuDelay=(number)

With (number) being the number of seconds your machine will
pause on the Boot Menu. If the timer counts down to zero
before any action is taken, then the BootMenuDefault is then
loaded. 


====================
[7]  Registry Tricks
====================

-------------------------------
[7-1]  Speed up the Start-Menu!
-------------------------------
 
Create a new string value under  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop (of the Registry) named MenuShowDelay and set 
it's value to a number from 1 to 10. (1 is the fastest). 
This is an undocumented feature!!


---------------------------------------------
[7-2]  My city isn't on the time zone map !!!
---------------------------------------------

Highlight the section on the world map that contains your city.
Write down the string of cities, or whatever other wording.

	Example "Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney"

Open Registry Editor, and search for that string
Edit that string. You have very easily edited a string that was not meant to be edited, but of course with Windows 95 you are given the option to edit nearly all strings.


-------------------------------------------
[7-3]  Editing the Windows TIPS at start-up
-------------------------------------------

You can edit those tips, and add you own tips.

It is under the H_KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\explorer\Tips key of the Registry Editor. 

Heres how to add new User Tips to the Welcome to Windows 95 Dialog Box that appears at Windows 95 system start-up:

	1.  Go to the above referenced Key in the Registry Editor.

	2.  Go to the very end of the list of existing User Tips. 	 	    (Win95 comes with 50 Tips pre-loaded)

	3.  To add a new String Value, right click with your mouse 
	    at the end of the list.

	4.  Select NEW.

	5.  Type the next highest number from whats listed 	
	    directly next to the ab.

	6.  Press ENTER. 

	7.  Right click again on the number value just created.

	8.  Select MODIFY. 

	9.  In the box marked VALUE DATA, type whatever new User 	
	    Tip you prefer.

	10. When you are 100% positive that what you just typed 	
	    is what intended, select OK. 

Congratulations! You just customized Windows 95! Now, close
the Registry Editor, and restart Windows 95. You will see your new Tips the next time the Welcome to Windows 95 dialog box appears!

============== 	At the very beginning of your VALUE DATA, you
POWER TIP # xx	might want to begin the Tip with something like
==============	Kents Win95 Tips: This way, youll remember
			which Tips you added to the originals!


----------------------------
[7-4] Friendly Short Names
----------------------------

One of my favorite features of Windows 95 are the Long File Names. At last, we can leave eight-dot-three in the dust!!!
One problem though. I have Microsoft Office Professional 4.3,
which is the 16-bit short file name edition. 

So, when I am in Explorer, I can save a file such as 1995 Income Tax Returns. But, when I return to Excel to open that file, I will find something like 1995In~1.xls. Now, if you 
wanted to save several files with the prefix 1995 Income Tax
you would have a mess on your hands in a hurry, not to mention 
that you wouldnt be able to decipher the short names. 

Complete the following steps:

	1. Open up the Registry Editor.

	2. Open the following SubKey:

		HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
		Control\FileSystem

	3. Right-Click the right-hand pane of the Registry Editor
   	   window. On the context menu, select NEW, Binary Value.

	4. Type in NameNumericTail and press ENTER.

	5. Double-Click the entry you just created, and then type
	   zero (0) as the complete binary value. 

	6. Click OK, close the Registry Editor, and restart 	 	 	   Windows.

Now, this undocumented technique will assure that the short 
file names will resemble the long file names as much as it is 
possible. Windows 95 will make sure that no two files will 
have the same long or short name.


-----------------------------------------
[7-5] 3-D Objects: Highlights and Shadows
-----------------------------------------

	1. Open up the Registry Editor.

	2. Go to the following SubKey:

		HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors

	3. There you will find a list of various system items, 	 	   such as buttons, and active title bar, etc. Actually, 		   it adds to the information that is editable in the 		   Control Panels Display Properties dialog Appearance 	 	   tab. 

	4. The information is presented as RGB data, which means 	 	   that each color is represented by three values to 	 	   simulate the various colors that will be displayed on 	  	   your screen. The three values are Red, Green, and Blue. 	   Each of the three can have values between zero (0), 	 	   which represents black, and 255, which represents 	 	   white.

		EXAMPLE: 	0 0 0 represents black
                    	255 255 255 represents white
				all other colors are somewhere in between

	5. The RGB Color Model is an additive model that is used 	 	   to determine how colors are displayed on computer 		   monitors. 
   
	6. RGB values for the various colors can be found in the
	   following place on your system:

		Control Panel, Display, Properties, Appearance,
		Color, Other . . . 

		In this dialog, the RGB values are found in the 			lower right corner. Be sure to write down the 
		values of your favorite colors, so they can be 				changed easily. 

	7. Knowing all this, you are ready to further customize 	 	   the shadows and inverse colors of 3-D objects in the 	 	   Windows 95 system. 


------------------------------------------
[7-6]  Reappearing values in the Registry?
------------------------------------------

If after several editing sessions in the Registry Editor, 
you suddenly discover that several entries and values 
that you deleted seem to be reappearing, it is NOT a problem
with the Registry, the Editor, or your mind. 

To keep that data from respawning, simply remove the offending
items from your WIN.ini file!


-----------------------------------------
[7-7] Adding sounds to application events
-----------------------------------------

By now you should all realize that you can add sounds to quite
a few system events. Those can be located in the Control Panel
Sounds dialog. If you havent been there yet, Ill wait a minute while you return. But, did you realize that with the Registry, you can also add sounds to APPLICATION events?

	1.	Open up the Registry Editor.

	2.	Go to the following SubKey:

			HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps

	3.	You will find two SubKeys .Default and Explorer.

	4.	Right-Click on the SubKey APPS, choose NEW KEY.

	5.	The new value should be the name of the application
		that you wish to create event sounds for.

	6.	Right-Click on the SubKey you just created, and
		select NEW KEY.

	7.	An example to get you started: Key: Open
		Then, create another SubKey called Close.

	8.	Go to the Control Panel Sounds, and the Application
		Event SubKeys you just created will now appear in
		the list that is displayed in the Sounds tab. 

	9.	Add whatever sound files you wish for these events.

	10.	The very next time that you Open and/or Close 
		that particular application, the sounds will play.

	11.	For each and every application on your system, 
		you can add sounds to all these standard events: 

			Close				Open
			G.P. Fault			RestoreDown
			Maximize			RestoreUp
			MenuCommand		SystemAsterisk
			MenuPopup			SystemExclamation
			Minimize			SystemQuestion

		There may be other events possible, but that depends
		on the particular application events that are used
		in any given Windows application. 

		HINT: Button and Icon bars are NOT such events!

[8]  Short Cuts: Windows 95 Productivity Tips
=============================================

------------------------------------
[8-1]  Add an item to the Start Menu
------------------------------------

	Drag icon over Start button
	OR
	Right click on Start button. Select open.
	The Start Menu folder opens on the Desktop. 
	Select File New Shortcut and the rest is easy! 


------------------------------------
[8-2]  What will dragging a file do?
------------------------------------

	Drag files with the right mouse button.

	This give you the option of copying, moving, 
	or creating a shortcut.


--------------------------
[8-3]  Where is that file?
--------------------------

	Find in the start menu is powerful and very quick.
	
     You can search for type of docs, for text in files etc
	This search feature has been shown to be over 20 times   	faster and more powerful than the standard feature 	included with Apples System 7.51. So there!


---------------------------------------
[8-4]  Change the name of that shortcut 
---------------------------------------

	Windows 95 by default will update the shortcut. If the
	shortcut is not updated, it will be updated when you run 		the shortcut.




-------------------------------------------
[8-5]  Right Mouse Button and the Shift Key
-------------------------------------------
             	
After Windows 3.1, Windows users the world over have become very leftbutton-centric. With Windows 95, the right mouse button is liberally implemented. It adds considerable power 
to the use of the mouse. In addition, the SHIFT key often 
adds even more power to that right-click!

Heres just a few Right-Shift tricks:

	*	To format a disk drive, right click on that drives
		icon in Explorer or in My Computer.

	*	To minimize, cascade, or tile all windows, right 
		click on the Taskbar.

	*	To empty the Recycle Bin quickly, right click 
		on its icon on the Destop.

	*	To close, restore, maximize, or minimize a window,
		right click on its button on the Taskbar.

	*	If a file has an associated application, but you 
		would like to open it with a different application,
		hold down the shift key and right click on its 			icon.

	*	To restart Windows without restarting the computer,
		go to the shutdown menu and choose Restart the 				computer. When you click OK, hold down the shift 			key.

	*	To launch Explorer on a drive or folder, right click
		on the icon, instead of double-clicking.

	*	To permanently delete file(s) instead of sending 
		it to the Recycle Bin, hold down the SHIFT key 
		and press DELETE, or right click on the file(s)
		and then hold down the SHIFT key before selecting
		Delete from the context menu.


----------------------------------------------------
[8-6]  Short Cuts for Objects, Folders, and Explorer
----------------------------------------------------

The following brief procedures and tables summarize the 
standard shortcuts for working with objects in the Windows 95 user interface, including folders on the desktop and Windows Explorer.

To copy a file

*	 Press CTRL while you drag the file to a folder.

To create a shortcut

*	 Press CTRL+SHIFT while you drag the file to the desktop 	   	 or a folder.

To close the current folder and all its parent folders

*	Press SHIFT and click the Close button on the folder. 

To tab through pages in a properties dialog box

*	Press CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.

To switch between opening a new window and closing 
an existing window

*	Press CTRL and double-click a folder.

If you have more than one window open, this operation closes the active window. If you have only one window open, this operation opens a new window.

To bypass Auto-Run when inserting a compact disc

*	Press SHIFT while inserting the compact disc.

To quickly change Wallpaper

*	Drag the file name of a .BMP or .RLE file to the Control
	Panels Desktop dialog box. This instantly installs the 
	bitmap as Desktop Wallpaper, and saves you from having
	to type the file name and full path into the dialog box.

A shortcut to the Start Menu

*	Open Explorer, and open the Start Menu folder. Create
 	a shortcut to the Start Menu, and place it on the 
	Desktop. There, youll have one click access to all
	that is in that menu . . .

--------		-----------------------------------------------


----------------------------------
[8-14]  Quicker font installations
----------------------------------

You can go through the Fonts folder in Control Panel, and
select Install New Font from the File Menu. Then, up pops
the Add Fonts dialog, basically just like it did in Windows
3.1 and 3.11. But, in Windows 95, there is a new rub. 

Font installation is fully supported by Drag and Drop, so 
all you need to do is open up your Fonts folder, and drag
whichever font(s) you wish to install. The neat thing with
this is that the font(s) that you have just dragged into 
the Fonts folder immediately appear in all of the applications
that use True Type fonts!

No more tinkering with the [Fonts] sections of .INI files!!


If you have allowed Windows 95 to install the default FONTS
folder inside the Windows 95 folder, then youll need to 
hold down the SHIFT key while dragging the file into the 
Fonts folder. This prevents it from being copied into the 
Windows 95 System sub-folder, which would needlessly double
the amount of disk space consumed. 


---------------------------------------------
[8-15]  Create a Print To File print driver
---------------------------------------------

To create a generic driver for printing text to a file, go
to the Printers folder in Control Panel. Double-Click on 
Add Printer, choosing Local Printer and Generic from 
the Manufacturer menu, and Generic/Text Only in Printers. 

Choose FILE: from Available Ports, clicking Next a few
times to create the Printer. Right-Click on the new printer
icon when it appears, choose Properties, select the paper
tab, changing the Paper Source to Continious-No Page Break 
and click on OK. You might also wish to change the name of 
this printer to Print To File.


--------------------------------
[8-16]  Quit Windows in a flash!
--------------------------------

Because of the Registry, Windows 95 is extremely methodical about shutting itself down. To make sure that it is done right, the GODS of GUI have even included the soon to be infamous Shut Down on the Start Menu. You have to click on the Start button and select Shut Down from the menu. 

A dialog box appears, giving the user the choice of either; shutting down completely, restarting the PC, exiting to 
MS-DOS mode or, if you have a network configured, to log on as a different user. 

The restart your PC option cycles completely through the boot process; self test, memory countdown, anti-virus scanning, 
CD-ROM drive configuration, well, you get the idea. You may as  well go get a cup of coffee, with some systems you actually may have enough time to do so. 

Well, fortunately, we have discovered some shortcuts for shutting down Windows quickly:

*	Hold down the SHIFT key when selecting the OK button
	to restart your PC, when selecting that choice from 
	the Shut Down dialog. 

This next one works even better (and FASTER!):

*	Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to bring up the Close Program 
	dialog box. In this dialog, select Explorer and click
	on End Task. Explorer is the Windows 95 Shell so the
	system assumes you are trying to quit and displays
	the Shut Down dialog. Click on NO. Then, another box 
	will pop up, and there you select End Task. This will 
	shut down the Explorer Shell. But, what actually will
	happen is you will see your Desktop rebuild itself in
	a matter of a handful of seconds (literally). Windows 95
	cannot properly run without Explorer, so it automatically 	restarts Explorer, rereading the entire Registry in the
	process. 

So, this last quickie you may use especially if you are in 
the middle of a hot n heavy Registry editing session, and would rather not waste an eternity waiting for the changes to
take effect during all those endless reboots.

Summary:

Brian Livingston is the author of Windows 3.1 Secrets and
More Windows Secrets, and co-author of Windows Gizmos 
by IDG Books. He is also an editor and writes the weekly
Window Manager column for InfoWorld.

I have had the opportunity to scan through all three of his
books, and I came to the impression that, for Windows 3.1, 
these books would have been valuable resources. But, since
the world of computing has moved on, we will have to wait
until the end of August to see if Windows 95 Secrets is 
worth owning. 

I will say however, that after reading the last years worth
of his Window Manager columns, that if the book is as informative as his column is, then this will be a MUST HAVE
book for everyones Windows 95 reference library.

Will ship at the end of August 1995.

[9-7]  Microsoft Developer Network
----------------------------------

If all this tinkering with the Registry and the Registry Editor has got you all excited, then, please be aware that there is something called the Microsoft Developer Network. This is an exclusive membership program that streamlines your access to all the Microsoft development information and technology.

The Development Library is a quarterly CD-ROM, which delivers 
all the technical information that you need to program for Windows, while the Development Platform is a set of CD-ROMs that contain the complete Microsoft Development Tools library;
including software development kits and device driver kits.

The Development Library CD-ROM contains about 1.5 gigabytes of 
compressed information, all full-text search capable. It contains information on all of Microsofts development products and system software. Just the fact that it contains the full text of all the Microsoft Press books makes this worth it alone. 

Look at it this way: If you purchased the books that have been
listed in the Reference section of this FAQ, you could just
about pay for the Development Library subscription in itself. 
The fact that all of those books (and all included software)
will be on the CD-ROMs anyway, it made sense for me to get the 
CD-ROM subscription, because in the long run, it will be less expensive. And besides, it contains copious amounts of information!!

The Development Platform brings you a set of CD-ROMs containing the entire set of Microsoft Operating Systems and related Software Developement Kits and Device Driver Kits. Released quarterly, the Development Platform includes eta software as well, so you know that you are always working on the most current software. 

The MSDN costs either $ 195 or $ 495 per year, depending on 
whether its a Level One or Level Two membership. For more information, call the Microsoft Developers Network at: 
(800) 426-9400 ext. 11771. 

Be sure to ask for The Microsoft Developer Network Overview brochure, MSDN Development Library Demo diskette, and a copy
of the latest MSDN News. 

If you already know that you want to join MSDN, just get your
credit card out, and dial (800) 759-5474.

[10-9] Shortcut {00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

As I was getting deeper and deeper into the Registry, I was 
beginning to notice more and more that quite a few of the 
data strings were listed in some sort of binary HEX mumbo
jumbo. I also noticed that some of these binary data strings
remained constant throughout the entire Registry, from 
Hkey_Local_Machine all the way down to Hkey_Current_User. 

I orginally compiled this short list for my own personal reference. But, again and again, I was reading from the 
various newsgroups on the Internet, that people wanted to 
know the same information that was on this little slip of 
paper on my desk. So, I added this to the FAQ for general 
reference purposes. 

It should save you from having to use the FIND shortcut
in the Registry Editor to look up these very same values,
which remain constant, no matter whose system theyre on.

[12] Five essential Windows 95 Utilities
========================================

-----------------------
[12-1]  Microsoft PLUS!
-----------------------

Microsoft Corporation
One Microsoft Way
Redmond, Washington 98052-6399
800.426.9400 sales and info.

-----------------------

Microsoft PLUS! is designed to enhance the look and performance of Windows 95-based personal computers and includes a bonus
Internet Jumpstart Kit.  The software package is expected to ship simultaneously with the release of Windows 95.

Microsoft Plus! consists of System Agent technology and disk utilities that work behind the scenes to keep the users PC running at peak performance; Desktop Themes that incorporate sounds, fonts, color schemes, wallpaper, screen savers, photo-realistic icons and animated cursors to improve the looks of a users computer; and a bonus Internet Jumpstart Kit that provides easy sign-up and one-button access to the Internet;
although you must be forewarned that the one button Internet
access is via the Microsoft Network ONLY.

The Microsoft Plus! System Agent and disk tools
automate PC maintenance, making it faster and easier to
keep a computer in top shape. Microsoft Plus! includes DriveSpace 3.0, Compression Agent, and System Agent-aware upgrades to the Scandisk and Defrag utilities that will ship
with Windows 95.

The Microsoft Plus! System Agent is a 'smart' assistant that works in the background to keep a system optimized for top performance.  While the system is idle, the System Agent 
works with the disk utilities to compress data to free up 
hard disk space and to clean up the hard disk, correcting 
any disk errors and defragmenting the hard disk.  Microsoft Plus! also can be configured to back up files automatically.

DriveSpace 3 is an enhanced version of the DriveSpace disk compression that will ship with Windows 95.  DriveSpace 3 supports large compressed volumes (up to 2 GB) and greater compression ratios. DriveSpace 3 is also optimized for 
improved performance on Pentium processor-based systems.

The Compression Agent is an intelligent offline compression utility for DriveSpace 3 that automatically chooses the most appropriate compression algorithm for each file on a system.  When used in conjunction with System Agent, the Compression Agent allows users to maximize compression levels as well as
PC performance by automatically compressing data when
their PCs are not in use.

Microsoft Plus! Desktop Themes provide sounds, fonts, color schemes, wallpaper, screen savers, photo-realistic icons and animated cursors.  Each Desktop Theme sets more than 75 different desktop parameters for Windows 95, using a common theme to guide the choice of selections. Desktop Themes 
include Travel, Nature, Mystery, 1960s USA, Leonardo da Vinci, Science, Dangerous Creatures, Sports, Moderne, Inside Your PC and Windows 95.

Additional Microsoft Plus! features include Multimedia 
Pinball, a game that takes advantage of built-in multimedia support in Windows 95 to look, sound and play like an 
authentic pinball game, and full-window drag and font smoothing.  With full-window drag, windows are dragged 
as solid blocks rather than outlines.  Font smoothing is performed using anti-aliasing techniques and "hinting" of fonts, making them smoother and easier to read.

Microsoft Plus! Internet Jumpstart Kit provides easy 
sign-up and one-button access to the Internet via
the Microsoft Network. Microsoft Plus! Internet
Jumpstart Kit includes a Set-Up Wizard to assist
customers in signing up with an Internet service
provider; the Internet Explorer, which is
Microsofts Windows 95-based World Wide Web browser;
which was licsensed from Spyglass, and an Internet 
mail reader for the Windows 95 Exchange mail client.  

Microsoft Plus! requires a Windows 95-based PC with a 
minimum of a 486 processor and 8MB of RAM. Depending 
on which Desktop Themes are installed, disk requirements 
vary from 25 MB to 40 MB of disk space. A sound card is recommended for Desktop Themes and Multimedia Pinball.  
A modem or LAN-based connection is required to access the Internet.  Pricing has been set at around $ 45.00 street. 
It will be available wherever Windows 95 is sold.

  files in the Explorer and drag and drop them on a ZIP file in
  the active Explorer window, in another Explorer window, or to
  a ZIP file on the desktop.

* Add selected files to a ZIP directly from the Explorer with
  complete control over the options:  RIGHT-click on any file
  (or selected group of files) in the Explorer and choose "Add
  To Zip" from the context menu. This provides a function
  similar to Add in the WinZip File Manager extension.

* Create archives in the Explorer (or on the desktop) by
  RIGHT-clicking on the desktop and choosing "WinZip File" 
  from the "New" context menu entry.  You can then add files 
  to the new archive as described above.

* Explorer-style mini-icons are displayed next to files in an
  archive to help identify the file type.

* Explorer-style Add dialog box.

* The Delete Archive operation moves archives to the Recyle Bin
  rather than permanently deleting the archive.

* The Rename, Copy, and Move operations use the Windows 95
  "overwrite" user interface.

* ZIPs opened with WinZip are properly added to the Start
  Menu->Documents menu.

* Explorer-style New and Open dialog boxes.

* Extract files from a ZIP in the Explorer by right-clicking on
  the ZIP and choosing "Extract To" from the context menu.

* Uninstall WinZip using Control Panel->Add/Remove Apps.

* WinZip uses the correct colors if you change color schemes.
  The WinZip toolbar buttons and status line colors will match
  the rest of your desktop.

* Windows 95-style tree-view help Contents window makes it
  easier to find help topics.

* The WinZip Options/Explorer Configuration dialog box lets 
  you add WinZip to the Start menu and Desktop.

* Long filename support and U.N.C. support.

Additional Windows 95 features are under development ...

Even though this Must Have utility is still in eta at ver. 5-6, it is a utility that should be a part of EVERY Windows 95
Explorer. Your a fool if you dont have this utility. It makes
your life a whole lot easier, especially if you venture along
the Info. Hiway. (Ugh - I cannot believe I just said that) :-)

[12-3]  Microsoft Windows 95 PowerToys

--------------------------------------

This freeware add-on for Windows 95 contains a series of "PowerToys"-- UI enhancements for advanced Win95 users-- 
that can be easily added to your installation of Windows 95.

These enhancements were developed by members of the Microsoft Win95 team, and are now being made available to Win95 users at no cost. Note that these are not part of any shipping retail product at this point in time, and therefore are not supported through any official support channels. Use "at your own risk".

The contents of the PowerToys folder will be updated over time as we make enhancements to the utilities you see here now, and as we add new utilities for people to try out. Stop back every now and then and see what's changed.

Here's what's presently available:

SEND TO ANY FOLDER

This utility adds an "Any Folder" entry to your win95 "Send To" menu. You can then right-click on any file or directory, choose "Send To> Any Folder" and type an MS-DOS path to move or copy the file into. High-end users who miss the File Manager's Move and Copy dialogs will love Send To Any Folder.

FAST FOLDER CONTENTS

With this handy-dandy context-menu extension, you can hold down the SHIFT key whenever you right-click on any folder, and you'll get a cascade menu that shows you all the contents of that folder, one-level deep. It works on shortcuts-to-folders, too.

QUICK CD

Quick CD is a taskbar notification icon that makes controlling audio CDs a breeze. When an audio CD is in your drive, Quick CD gives you convenient single-click play/pause control, a tooltip that tells you which track and time you're on, and a right-click menu that provides commands for starting, stopping, and moving around the tracks on your CD.

CABFILE VIEWER

You know those *.CAB files that you'll find on the Win95 CD and floppies? (These are files containing one or more compressed files.) Well, with the CABFILE Viewer shell extension, you can browse right into a CAB file and see all of its contents, and perform normal shell operations like drag/drop, etc. on the files inside.

ROUND CLOCK

This version of CLOCK.EXE takes advantage of win95's region windows, so your analog clock will be round, just like a real clock would. (Note.. you just need to copy this EXE to use the clock. No setup file is provided.)


The Microsoft Windows 95 PowerToys are easy to install, and 
because theyre FREE, they are absolutely worth having on 
your system. I particularly recommend Any Folder, Cabfile
Viewer, and Round Clock seems to fit the Windows 95 
Desktop better than its square Win 3.1 cousin. 

Available where the better Windows 95 shareware is found.

McAfee's VirusScan 95 program detects, identifies, and disinfects known DOS and Windows computer viruses. 
VirusScan 95 checks memory as well as both the system 
and data areas of disks for virus infections. If VirusScan 
95 finds a known virus, in most cases it will eliminate the virus and fully repair infected programs or system areas to their original condition.

VirusScan 95 is designed to check for pre-existing infections of known and unknown viruses on floppy, hard, CD-ROM, and compressed (DriveSpace, SuperStor, Stacker, DoubleSpace, etc.) disks on both stand-alone and networked personal computers, as well as network file servers. If you have a Novell NetWare/386 V3.1x or 4.xx file server, use the NetShield virus prevention software NetWare Loadable Module in conjunction with VirusScan 95.

Program Information


	1. CalPop  A Simple Calendar for Microsoft Windows

		CalPop is a small program which displays any month 			between January 1980 and December 2037.

	2. CodeList  ASCII or Raw File Printing

		CodeList is an application to print ASCII files 			under Windows.  It supports drag and drop operation, 		making it useful as an icon in the taskbar, and is 			configurable for font, printer orientation, number 			of print columns, presence of line numbers, and 			other features.

	3. Flipper  Simple Printer Orientation Control

		Flipper runs as an icon in the taskbar, and displays 		the current orientation of the default printer.  			When double-clicked, it will change the printer's 			orientation, updating the icon in the process.  A 			tool tip is displayed if you leave the mouse over 			the Flipper icon, showing the printer orientation as 		portrait or landscape.  Flipper notices when you 			change the printer orientation, as well as when you 			change the default printer.

	4. Match  Visual Text Comparison

		Match is a text file comparison program designed to 			display the differences between two files in a 				window. A help file is included with the program 			which should tell you what you need to know to run 			the program. (Try Help Index after starting Match).

	5. Runner  A Simple Command Line For Explorer

		Runner adds the capability to run a DOS command line 		to the Windows 95 Explorer.  When installed, Runner 			adds a Run Command ... menu choice to the right-			mouse context menu displayed by Explorer.  Runner 			accepts any command line acceptable at a DOS prompt 			or as a command line if you use the Run command 			found under the Start button. Both Windows and DOS 			programs may be executed using Runner.

	6. Time  Yet Another Digital Clock

		Time is a digital clock for Windows.  You can select 		the format of the display, and can choose where the 			window sits on the screen.  The window does not 			force itself to the front when covered, so it's 			compatible with all Windows screen blankers.  

	7. Waver  Play Random Multimedia Files

		Waver is a Windows application to play randomly 			chosen multimedia files at random times.  It 				supports drag and drop operation, making it useful 			(or, at least usable) as an icon in the taskbar.

	8. DLLMan  Windows Dynamic Link Library Investigator

		DLLMan is a Windows application to help you discover 		relationships among executable (EXE) files and 				Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL's).  

		DLLMan is a bonus application sent to registered 			users of the Barry Press Utilities.
