Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP |
Note: It may be necessary to run each VBScript while logged into that User's Account. If your anti-virus software warns you of a "malicious" script, this is normal. These scripts are not malicious, but they do make changes to the System Registry.
Some fixes will require a reboot.
Some of the .reg files were exported from my
registry, modified and tested on my system.
Some are from other users. All credit due.
All files can be viewed with Notepad
