Etz Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) For some strange reason, I cannot get two Reg tweaks to get applied via WinToolkit if I do the very same tweaks via SetupComplete.cmd or as HKCU via RunOnce.cmd they work just fine... Question is about those (works fine via SetupComplete.cmd but not via WinToolkit AIO tool):; Show Libraries on Navigation Panel[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001; Move Libraries above "My PC" on Navigation panel[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000042Also tried as (works fine via RunOnce.cmd but not via WinToolkit AIO tool):; Show Libraries on Navigation Panel[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001Difference between those is, that HKCU is for user HKLM is System wide version of the very same for all Users (existing and non existing). Now wondering is it somekind of WinToolkit bug, or...Have been trying to solve this from version x.26 but never succeeded importing those two tweaks one way or another. PS: For clarification those all are Windows 8.1 Specific tweaks Edited January 20, 2014 by Etz Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 hkcu reg tweaks can't be applied until after the user account has been populated it's been that way for a very long time. Quote
Etz Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) hkcu reg tweaks can't be applied until after the user account has been populated it's been that way for a very long time. Actually, some of those can be applied and I actually remember Lego saying that those are being mapped to "Default User" registry Hive by WinToolkit.Maybe Lego can comment actually where does WinToolkit Import or apply all the HKCU stuff? Anyway I`m more interested why HKLM & HKCR doesnt work out, and thats not the only ones which I`m currently struggling with. Edited January 21, 2014 by Etz Quote
Legolash2o Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 It's a permissions issue. I can't even open regedit and edit those values manually. Quote
Etz Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Hmm, so there is basically no way to edit those offline...Only via SetupComplete.cmd then for HKLM keys. Actually I was able to edit at least this as Regular user with admin rights:; Move Libraries above "My PC" on Navigation panel[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000042Also HKCU keys can be edited by User post-install... Fair enough, will have to continue using SetupComplete.cmd & RunOnce.cmd for those then... Edited January 21, 2014 by Etz Quote
Etz Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Or I can just fix it... You can?That would be great, as I could move all registry stuff out from "scripts" then... :dancing: EDIT: This probably falls in the same category, can be accomplished via scripts but not via WinToolkit on Windows 8(.1):http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/11553-unpack-msi-context-menu-tweak/ Works fine on Windows 7 though...

Etz Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) HKCU variation didnt work out.Tested HKLM & HKCR parts afterwards, both did work as expected, so its looks like solved indeed...at least for me Thank you. Just for reference, this works now:; Show Libraries on Navigation Panel[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"=dword:00000001; Move Libraries above "My PC" on Navigation panel[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000042[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]"SortOrderIndex"=dword:00000042 Edited January 21, 2014 by Etz Quote
