Bill Mote:
I've started an XP build script found here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=59353.0.  One of the things I'm trying to do is make it easier for everyone to implement my settings.  As such I'm compiling a registry file that will make all the changes auto-magically.

There are some settings I'm having problems finding though.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All of the following items are disabled through a GUI:

# Fade or slide menus into view
# Fade or slide ToolTips into view
# Fade out menu items after clicking
# Show shadows under menus
# Slide open combo boxes
# Slide taskbar buttons
# Use a background image for each folder type
# Use common tasks in folders

As well as the folder settings for "display full path in the -" address bar and title bar.

Here's what I have so far (cut and paste this into notepad and save the file as a .REG file):

To use the cursor file you'll need to download it (cursor is 3 pix x 3 pix, enlarged for forum pic):

Okay.  I found the VisualFXSettings and edited the registry file to include them.  On to the rest ... isn't sysinternal's regmon a beautiful thing?!

Yes, Regmon is your friend.  I've been using it for like 9 years now (along with Filemon).  Great products and there are free.

Did you go to Administrative Tools and disable most of the services that are not used for your application?

Everything I've done is outlined here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=59353.0.  I started with Windows XP SP1 and have it down to 10 running processes with a 50 MB memory footprint.
