Please share the rest of what you've discovered, so the rest of us can benefit from your research. What registry keys to modify? What services to disable or delete? What other tweaks do you recommend? I would especially appreciate a PowerShell or batch file to apply these tweaks, as I have...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no such thing as "the cloud" - it's just an obfuscatory name for "someone else's computer." When you store something "in the cloud", you're really uploading it to someone else's computer, and when you do so, the owner / legal operator of that computer now...

How do I do this from a batch file?

That certainly makes it more difficult, but not necessarily impossible. PowerShell has some cmdlets to manipulate these types of files, and I've sometimes been able to determine what needs to be changed. Do you know the path/file where these settings are stored?

I appreciate that. You've saved me a lot of work! Thanks. Well thank you Micro$oft (NOT). Certainly the settings must be saved somewhere or they wouldn't survive a reboot. I was hoping you knew where so I wouldn't have to go searching myself. Maybe Procmon can tell me.

What's the registry edit to do this?

Can this be done from a batch file?

I've been using this for quite a while on Windows 10 and it's very helpful. But I've recently noticed that it does not include all text file trypes. Some of the file types that I frequently encounter include .ahk (AutoHotKey), .py (Python), .bak (backup file from an edit), .ini and .xml...

I haven't tried it on Windows 11 yet, but on Windows 10 Taskkill only shows the PIDs of the tasks being killed, not their names. Read the posts on Add Kill All Not Responding Tasks Context Menu in Windows 10 , starting with BlackVen0m's post (#11).

About a week ago I posted an enhancement to this command (to show the names of the tasks that are being killed) on your Windows 10 forum: Replace the last line of the .reg file with: @="CMD.exe /C (tasklist /fi \"status eq Not Responding\" | find /v \"No tasks\" && taskkill.exe /f /fi \"status...

1. The title for Option Nine is wrong. It should say "Set-Volume", not "Label". That's Option Eight. 2. Most of these methods also work in Windows 10 and earlier. See Change Drive Label Name in Windows 10

To do this with a PowerShell cmdlet see How to Turn On or Off Show Pointer Location with CTRL Key in Windows 10

This works in Windows 10 too!

Did you run it in Administrator mode? If not, it will throw an error.
