19. change default columns in Windows Explorer folder if you select display as a table.
Before applying the council recommend to create a system restore point and export customizable registry hive in the .reg file. After the successful completion of the action brought by you, you can remove them, in the opposite case, restore the original values and try again.
When choosing a display Details type in Windows Explorer, the system displays specific columns. You can customize to any folder on your own set of columns by right-clicking on any of them and the pop-up menu then clicking More... If you want to change the columns displayed by default, you need to make corresponding changes to the registry.For drop folder in “Libraries” using one template for all of the folders. For ordinary folders, type each folder is selected in the tune tab in folder options.
Depending on the location of the folder you use to store files, change the set of columns in the templates folder in the templates of conventional libraries or folders. To modify the set of columns in all folders in Windows Explorer, add or remove values in all templates.
All templates are stored under the following registry hive:

21. Ban of spoofing function button “shutdown” when it’s time to upgrade the system.
If you have updates pending installation, the button shutdown Windows icon appears with a shield.
If you do not apply this registry tweak, when there are updates available for installation when you select Start menu default shutdown commands get out action – install updates and shut down.
To disable this option in the shut down Windows dialog box and display the default option selected when you last turned off (Hibernate, Restart, etc.), regardless of the availability parameter to install updates and shut down in the list, create and apply the .reg file to read as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption"=dword:00000001
"NoAUShutdownOption"=dword:00000001 -
22. show “Open command window here” and “copy as path” in context menu.
If you hold the Shift key when you right-click, context menu will have additional items “Open command window here” and “Copy as path”.
To “Open command window here” was displayed without pressing Shift create and apply the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=-
To force “Open command window here” again appear only when you press Shift create and apply the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
"Extended"=""
“Copy as path” to the item appears without clicking Shift create and apply the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\CopyAsPathMenu]
@="Copy As Path"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\CopyAsPathMenu\command]
@="cmd /c \"echo %1 | clip\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyAsPathMenu]
@=""
Minus such decision-on the fractions of a second command prompt window.
To force the item “Copy as path” again appear only when you press Shift create and apply the following .reg file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\CopyAsPathMenu]
@=-
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\CopyAsPathMenu\command]
@=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\CopyAsPathMenu]
@="{f3d06e7c-1e45-4a26-847e-f9fcdee59be0}"
If you don’t like on the fraction of a second command prompt window, you can use the NirCmd utility
This utility allows you to execute commands on the command line without displaying the command window.
To display the item “Copy as path” without holding Shift, do the following:1) download NirCmd utility under your Windows characters
2) unpack the downloaded zip archive in C:\NirCmd folder
3) start Registry Editor (Win + R-> regedit-> Ok)
4) go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\CopyAsPath\Command
5) change the default:
C:\NirCmd\nircmd.exe clipboard set "%1" -
23. Add arbitrary ActiveX-component system in Navigation pane Windows Explorer.
By default, Windows Explorer displays a set of ActiveX objects: Favorites, libraries, Computer and Network, or more advanced, if you have configured the Аolders Settings you select the Show all folders.
To add any of the system objects in the navigation pane, you need to know its statistically unique 128-bit identifier-{GUID}.
List of all IDs ({GUID}) is in the registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{GUID}. From this list in the navigation pane, you can add the ActiveX objects that have the IShellFolder interface (an interface for objects that extend the shell namespace). This is determined by the presence of a {GUID} ShellFolder registry subkey.
To save the time needed to locate an item you can use utility CSLID Dump to list all ActiveX objects having IShellFolder interface.1) download CSLID Dump, extract and run the program.
2) locate the CLSID Dump you {GUID} ActiveX object and open it in the registry:
2.1) Click in the program Open Regedit
or
2.2) start Registry Editor (Win + R-> regedit-> APP) and open
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{GUID}
where {GUID}, paste the value you found.
3) open the ShellFolder subsection in this section.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{GUID}\ShellFolder
For example: the “all tasks” corresponds to the {GUID} {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, therefore you must open:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}\ShellFolder
4) set the complete rights to access to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {GUID} \ShellFolder.
4.1) right-click on the selected registry key and then click Permissions.
4.2) select the Administrators group to select the full control check box, and then click OK.
4.3) if the check box is unavailable or you see an error message, click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
4.4) select your account, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box, and then click OK.
4.5) select the Administrators group to select the full control check box, and then click OK.
5) If section HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{GUID}\ShellFolder string parameter WantsParseDisplayName is present, remove it.
6) If section HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{GUID}\ShellFolder no string value is PinToNameSpaceTree, then create it with an empty value.
Show object to enumerate.
7) if necessary, change the value of the parameter Attributes so that the third digit is 0. For example: set 20000004 instead of 20100004.
Add your ActiveX object in the namespace of the desktop.
8) go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
9) Create here subkey with the name identical to your {GUID}. For Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
Enable display of your object only in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer, except for displaying it on the desktop.
11) go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel
12) here, create a DWORD named identical to your {GUID} and set it to equal 1.
13) close the registry editor.
14) log out and log in again or restart the computer.
As described above, you can add almost any ActiveX objects of IShellFolder.
