    Cool. That did the trick.
  • wingzeroisminewingzeroismine
    does this tweak actually yield a gain in preformance?

    yes... the - did seem as if it were a delete or something... I do suppose this would be a nice prank to pull on others though (obviously if I am still here I didn't do it)

    I saw this at toms first :P
  • SlashSlash
    Hey... I used to know that before, and tried... and I got no performance increase.
  • BODBOD
    Slash, you *do* realise that by using toms "tweak" it will fuck up windows and you wont even be able to run exe's?
  • Richard HawsleyRichard Hawsley
    Hmm not very clever to post this considering some people may actually fall for it and actually fuck their machines up. :P

    I don't quite see the PWNAGE in that.... checking for the same information at the sources website seems like a rather intelligent idea.

    if you are incapable of seeing the pwnage in that you are a nub

    It seemed a little suspicious...then I saw your desktop with the chat with Fish about it, so I checked your forum to see what you said...nice (and evil) prank though.

    Rather maliscious prank. What's the point of it though? You'd fool maybe 1 or 2 ppl into actually trying it and 1ce they sounded off you'd be found out.

  • wingzeroisminewingzeroismine
    His point was probably to see just how many people would complain in here about trying it and their computers screwing up.
  • BODBOD
    It was kinda funny in VPC
  • JoshJosh
    I think Steve got owned guys. :P

    I know better than to run ANY type of program/"fixes" made by people on Tom's forum.

    Ummm... he knew what it did before Tom even posted it, since IBM is in the irc channel where Tom talked about it.
  • JoshJosh
    Lucky SOB.

    Does this work on Windows NT only, or will it work on 9x too?
  • BODBOD
    Is there a registry in 9x? yes
    so it should work
  • JoshJosh
    So it should work on Windows NT 3x and 3x as well.
  • QQ
    It wont work completely on 9x, since 9x has a different top-level key, HKEY_DYN_DATA and maybe something else.

    scince this totally screws windows to the point where it cant even open a .exe anyone that tried it wouldnt be able to get there browser open to complain about it
  • QQ
    You leave out the inevitable progress, namely reinstallation, which would enable some very easy complaining.

    However all this is moot since noone fell for it.

    -Q

    PS. Idea!

    Can't the registry be repaired? Or... at least replaced with a basic copy.... at least allowing you to re-install your programs. (heh... no spyware installed anymore)
  • QQ
    There is I beleive a "Last Known Good" option at boot of NTs, which this targets, but I don't know how much of the registry (If any of it) it backups/restores.

    -Q
  • JackTheStripperJackTheStripper
    Where do you think the configuration is saved?

    :-)

    At least for the most part. Window still won't boot. :P
  • QQ
    SMooth move on someones part. @least Windows 9x stored the backups seperately.
