Applying tweaks

1. Skip Rearm: location has changed from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SL to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
   
2. Defender: not listed in the start up list in msconfig. In the register, the value in HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services\WinDefend Start was still set to 2 after I had set it to disabled in Services. I have now manuallychanged it to 4 (disabled)
   
3. Drivers: on a fairly new machine all hardware and peripherals were recognized and installed OOB.
   
   1. Mobile phone: not installed automatically, no updates on line. Pointed to the Vista:\Windows folder (I dual boot with Vista) and Windows Mobile Device Centre was installed
      
   2. Old (10 years!) TV tuner card: installed the W2K drivers when pointed to the correct folder
      
   3. Printer (old, 5-6 years): had a question mark, pointed to online update and it installed some newer driver
      

      
      

4. UAC: Start > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Solution Center > User Account Control Settings in the left pane. There are 4 available settings
   
   1. Always on (Vista mode)
   
   2. I can do whatever I want, but let me know if a program wants to make changes
   

   
   

   
   3. As above but don't dim the desktop

4.Never notify

I've set it on 3, and will see how things go when I start installing apps.........
