    Single click hover time edit in registry DWORD, Please help


    I love single click to open. However, hover time is actually slower than me double-clicking on icon to open.

    I adjusted this setting so far and no change.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse (DWORD) MouseHoverTime = <ms>

    Any other settign Im missing? I want it to hightlight instantly after hovering over desktop icon. So single click is instant.

    Thank you.

  2. Registry editing

    Hello,

    This issue may have occurred after one of the following situations:

    • You upgrade the Windows operating system.
    • You install or uninstall CD or DVD recording programs.
    • You uninstall Microsoft Digital Image.

    Given that, we suggest performing the methods in this article:
    Your CD or DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs
    .
    The resolutions that are listed in that article may help solve some instances but not all instances of this problem.

    Important:This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow
    these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base
    article.


    Feel free to update us with the results.

  3. Registry keys and DWORDs for Windows 10 personalization

    With prev win releases we, users, had a wide range of options for personalizing themes. Yet we almost lost controls of how the system looks with Win10 release. Since we updated to w10 we've been forced to choose from a pretty meager list of options.

    Last year I used to set my w8.1 up to some sort of grey-ish theme and new OS took my previously used theme but somehow it looks rediculous: it adopted some ugly white frames here and there. And there is no (no surprise here, dear MS) user-friendly way to
    fix it.

    But as my younger brother dicovered ealier today there is a hidden one - using a Registry Editor.

    There are two options to me now: i can make it myself or i can let a 10 year old kid to make it for me as a weekend project.

    I do understand that editing registry is dangerous and can potentionally harm the system.

    With that in mind i'd like to know if there is some list of registry keys and DWORDs available?

    Thx,

    Vb

    Cant Edit or Write to Registry


    I have been working with windows 10 X64 PRO for a little bit now. I can still not figure out why my scripts (.vbs) or .exe that I push to or use on my domain machines will not edit or create keys in the registry. The only way i can do it is to full kill UAC then reboot then make changes then turn it back on then reboot again. Listed below our the UAC settings we have set for our select few windows 10 machines. We have UAC fully off in windows 7, but it is needed in windows 10 to have apps run. So i am kinda stuck in the middle.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
    "ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000000
    "EnableInstallerDetection"=dword:00000000
    "EnableLUA"=dword:00000001
    "EnableSecureUIAPaths"=dword:00000000
    "EnableUIADesktopToggle"=dword:00000000
    "EnableVirtualization"=dword:00000001
    "PromptOnSecureDesktop"=dword:00000001
    "ValidateAdminCodeSignatures"=dword:00000000
    "FilterAdministratorToken"=dword:00000000
    "NoConnectedUser"=dword:00000003
    "MSAOptional"=dword:00000001
    "SoftwareSASGeneration"=dword:00000001

    Can you guys help figure out what i need to do so i can make registry change on the fly. This going to be a big deal breaker for us to move to Windows 10 if i can not change values. Let me know if you need any more information.

    Thank you
