***Here's a "few" really good registry-tweaks I came across a while back in MSFN Forum***
I've been tinkering with computers a very long time (and am quite good at it, not to appear a braggart), and this list of tweaks, in my own opinion, is as good as it gets. This'll work for both x64 and x86 versions of Win7 and Vista. I'll include a print-out here, so you may pick-and-choose exactly what tweaks you want to add to your registry (just copy the codes to notepad, and save as a .reg file ---whatever you want to name it is OK ---, then double-click and choose OK! I'll also include here a .reg-file I've compiled of ALL the tweaks. I personally recommend just running the .reg-file, using all the tweaks; I promise you none of it will screw your system up! I wouldn't upload something like that, and especially not here. I hate assholes who get a thrill from putting malware and spyware on people's machines!
These tweaks will add all kinds of useful right-click context menu items, enable you to see "hidden super-files" (Vista), see exactly what gets enabled at boot-up, disabled at shut-down.....just a whole cool "bag of goodies", for the SERIOUS computer enthusiast.
Everything between the***s can be copy/pasted, just as it's written, into notepad, in any order.
Note: BE SURE TO 1ST BACK-UP YOUR REGISTRY, SO THAT YOU CAN UN-DO ANY CHANGES THAT YOU DON'T LIKE. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THIS.
Here goes...

Edit-06/15/2012: I removed the tweak that adds extra icons to the 'My Computer' directory (such as Admin. Tools, Recycle Bin, IE, etc).....Most already get added to the right-click context menu, and are not needed in My Computer; plus, if you have a cool custom theme installed, with custom icons, those extra icons look fugly in the My Computer area.
I've been tinkering with computers a very long time (and am quite good at it, not to appear a braggart), and this list of tweaks, in my own opinion, is as good as it gets. This'll work for both x64 and x86 versions of Win7 and Vista. I'll include a print-out here, so you may pick-and-choose exactly what tweaks you want to add to your registry (just copy the codes to notepad, and save as a .reg file ---whatever you want to name it is OK ---, then double-click and choose OK! I'll also include here a .reg-file I've compiled of ALL the tweaks. I personally recommend just running the .reg-file, using all the tweaks; I promise you none of it will screw your system up! I wouldn't upload something like that, and especially not here. I hate assholes who get a thrill from putting malware and spyware on people's machines!
These tweaks will add all kinds of useful right-click context menu items, enable you to see "hidden super-files" (Vista), see exactly what gets enabled at boot-up, disabled at shut-down.....just a whole cool "bag of goodies", for the SERIOUS computer enthusiast.
Everything between the***s can be copy/pasted, just as it's written, into notepad, in any order.
Note: BE SURE TO 1ST BACK-UP YOUR REGISTRY, SO THAT YOU CAN UN-DO ANY CHANGES THAT YOU DON'T LIKE. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AFTER THIS.
Here goes...

Edit-06/15/2012: I removed the tweak that adds extra icons to the 'My Computer' directory (such as Admin. Tools, Recycle Bin, IE, etc).....Most already get added to the right-click context menu, and are not needed in My Computer; plus, if you have a cool custom theme installed, with custom icons, those extra icons look fugly in the My Computer area.
