Encryptor:

I have been following this thread with great interest. I have a couple of questions though.

1. Do these 2 reg keys you have in this thread include the previous reg keys from the original thread or do you have to run those separately?

2. Will it work with XP/SP2?

Thanks for the info so far!

Bill Mote:

Well, the intent is that they'd be the same; just compiled into a few files to keep things more simple.

I haven't tried them with SP2, but they should be fine.

I have found several more useful tweaks since the original posting.

--- End code ---

This is more generic than the one used for the arcade so it's missing the pieces that replace the cursor, set the shell to mamewah, etc.  Still, it's a nice set of tweaks.
