If you want:

I created a batch file that deletes the LegacyDisable values from three registry keys which makes it possible to see Search option in the right-click context menu (older XP style). I have attached it below. If you want to implement it in your converter tool go ahead!

I have tested it out on 2008 and it works on a 7 machine as well. I'm assuming it will work on R2 as well. You can put it under your tweaks tab "Add Search... to right-click context menu"

Happy New Year Halladayrules !

TY got it !

Well we will test it and add it if worky.

Here's a few more tweaks to consider.

Increase the NTFS Memory Cache Size

By default 2008/R2 will only dedicate a limited amount of memory cache to NTFS files. By increasing the pool you can speed up thumbnail loading and NTFS loading in general. Because of this I would not recommend this tweak on system under 2GB, 4GB preferred.

In command prompt type: fsutil behavior set memoryusage 2

Disable User Account Control File Virtualization Driver

Even though you may disable the UAC service altogether the driver is still loaded into boot time. To shave a second or so off your boot time disable this driver from loading.

Copy and paste the code between the dotted lines into notepad and save as disableUACfv.reg
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\luafv]
"Start"=dword:00000004

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

Force Kernel to use RAM instead of page file

This will force the kernel to load into RAM instead of paging out to the disk which decreases boot time. The kernel is put into locked pages of memory that cannot be swapped and thus lesser memory will be available to applications. The size of R2s kernel is not that large (less than 400MB) however I would not recommend this tweak unless you have a minimum of 2GB installed, 4GB preferred.

Copy and paste the code between the dotted lines and save as kernel-into-ram.reg

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

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System \CurrentControlSet \Control \Session Manager \Memory Management]
"DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001

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

TY Halladayrules !

Will be added in next update.

Preview :



We added "Applied" function so you know what has been installed already.

And we tested the tool on R2 with SP1 RTM -> all works !!!!

I'm running SBS 2011. Using the .98 version of the tool I am able to install and get SuperFetch working great. The newer tools 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 fail with a exitCode 1. My guess is that the newer versions are doing some checking that the older version does not.
%SystemRoot% points to C:/Windows so that part I know is correct. I also noticed the RAR correctly uncompresses into the correct directories but then looking at "inst.cmd" under #10 I see some instructions/tests after the unrar command that I don't really understand prior to importing the registry keys. Should I just manully excute the reg file and see what happens? All works great when I use the old .98 tool but neither of the new tools work.

Thoughts Niege?

No Idea.....

I'll install SBS 2011 and see if I can reproduce the errors.

The difference between 0.81 and newer versions is that 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 can be run from DVD and Network drives.

But the exit code is no good.

I'll be back on this.
