Pietertje Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Make a folder in your accounts Start Menu/Programs folder called "Bury" or similar. For example... C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Bury ...where C:\ is your system drive and <user> is your accounts username. Now move shortcuts of apps you don't want listed to the "Bury" folder. Make sure you root them all out from both your user accounts Start Menu folder and the "All Users" Start Menu folder, located at C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs After that, select the "Bury" folder and hit Alt+Return to bring up its Properties. Tick the 'Hidden' checkbox near the bottom then "OK", select 'Apply changes to this folder only' then "OK". Now the app shortcuts that you moved to the Bury folder shouldn't show up in the Start Menu sidebar, but will still be accessible by "Start Search" which is handy. Pretty good tip if I do say so myself. Thanks Saachi, I would never have come up with this. For me this honours the tip of the week!

Thanks Here ya go... :) The files in the zip file below add a "Print Folder List" Context Menu Item to all folders. You can access the Context Menu Item by holding down Shift + right-click on/in a folder. When you select it, it creates a txt file (FolderList.txt) with the File List in the selected directory. Install: Merge "Add PrintList.reg". Uninstall: Merge "Remove PrintList.reg".

daniel1212 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Thank you, especially the shortcuts are handy to know! (IE WinKey + #) :) Thank God for all your help! Seems like most everything has been covered in the tricks, etc, section, but do you know the scripts (batch files?) for each of the Vista Shutdown, Reboot, Sleep and Hibernate actions? TweakVI offers shortcuts for them, but i want to know the commands. I know and use them on W/9x machines but they must be different for Vista. Thanks again.

plastic Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Oi people, and Herby, I only disabled hotlinking to get Herby's attention. Worked, answer your mail Herby, hehe, wouldn't have done it, but then we would have been shutdown a week ago. Basically, Herby's outgrown the small collection of underground things I don't seem to be able to let go. He needs some hosting that will hold up against Neowins popularity, 10-15 GB (3/4 of the month we were at 9, but is goes up and down a bit). Then again, whatever Herby has linked on his site itself isn't blocked, go there to see if available. Hope that PM above has a solution ;).

Pietertje Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Just a silly question, that probably has been answered here before. I use the getcontrol file listed here in the tips section, and it works perfectly. Only, i have 2 HD's, with about 500 subdirs on them, so my question is: is there a way to get full control over a whole HD in one simple way? Or should i do it directory after directory after directory......... ?

zedaxax Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Remove the "shortcut" text to new shortcuts When you make a new shortcut, Vista adds the word "shortcut" to the name of the shortcut. This prevents it from turning up again. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;----- Remove "- Shortcut" in new shorcuts ;----- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "Link"=hex:00,00,00,00 Remove___Shortcut_in_new_shorcuts.zip Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/499870-vista-tips-tricks-tweaks/page/11/#findComment-588726746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
