If you want them to apply to all new users, create them under the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer registry key.Changing the Behavior of Taskbar GroupingBy default, when you enable the Group similar taskbar buttons option at the Taskbartab of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window (Fig. 13.5), items are groupedonly when the taskbar buttons begin to get too small. The item that you opened first isgrouped first. Note that the Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 user interfaces allowyou to enable or disable the taskbar grouping feature, but they dont provide the ability tochange its behavior.Figure 13.5: The Taskbar tab of the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialogTherefore, registry editing is the most appropriate way to change the default behavior ofthe taskbar buttons grouping feature. To customize it, create the TaskbarGroupSize value(REG_DWORD data type) under the following registry key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AdvancedThe taskbar grouping behavior depends on the values you assign to theTaskbarGroupSize registry value entry. These values are: 0 — (default) groups by age (oldest group first) 1 — groups by size (largest group first) 2 — groups any group of size 2 or more 3 — groups any group of size 3 or moreLog off and then back on for this change to take effect.Disabling Notification Area Balloon TipsNotification Area balloon tips (Fig. 13.6) are a nice feature, especially for beginners.However, experienced users may become tired of them. For example, if one of your disksis running out of free space, you wouldnt want to be persistently reminded of this fact.Sometimes these tips simply distract you from your work. And, although this featuremight be useful on Windows XP workstations, it is redundant for servers.Figure 13.6: An example of Notification Area balloon tipsTo disable the feature: 1. Start Regedit.exe and expand the following key: 2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explore r\Advanced 3. Create a new REG_DWORD value and name it EnableBalloonTips. Set this value to 0. 4. Quit Registry Editor, log off, then log back on.Note These steps disable all Notification Area balloon tips for the current user. There is no way to disable balloon tips for a specific program.Preventing a Program from Being Displayed in the Most Frequently Used ProgramsListIf you like the simple Start menu feature, first introduced with Windows XP and alsopresent in Windows Server 2003, you have undoubtedly noticed that it maintains a list ofthe most frequently used programs. Now, suppose you want to continue using thisfeature, but you dont want some specific programs to appear in that list. What can you doabout it? Of course, you can right-click the required shortcut and select the Remove fromThis List command from the context menu. However, this will not prevent the programfrom appearing in that list if you use it later. You can also configure the Start menu tospecify the number of shortcuts in the list of most frequently used programs. You canclear this list by clicking the Clear List button (Fig. 13.7). If you dont want the list ofmost frequently used programs to be displayed, set the value in the Number ofprograms on Start menu field to 0.Figure 13.7: The General tab of the Customize Start Menu windowThis, however, wont prevent a specific application (Regedit.exe, for example) fromappearing in the ...
