    I am using TweakNow PowerPack 2003 for this things...Too easy but I am not sure about the registy key...

    Do one thing...Click on Start -> Run -> type REGEDIT and click ok.

    Do a search in registy on TUE and see if you can find the it...Or else I am not sure how to do it with registry...

    Cheers...

    Depends on which program...but yeah it'll be in the registry most likely.

    Unless someone was tricky enough to hack some DLLs.

    You do not need to hack DLL to change those things...

    Ah, how funny.

    I once had a tweak application, but everytime I changed a setting through it, it made the Windows gradient on the Start menu just a big black box.

    So I deleted it. Maybe I'll check out that link.
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    One I am using right now is taken from the link I posted and tell u the truth I am happy with. It does almost everything I want to do.

    Are you sure it didn't just remove some items from the menu so that it wasn't tall enough to display the picture?

    Windows does get rid of the gradient when you only have a few things showing.

    That was probably it. Maybe I got rid of Help or something.

    the path for Windows NT, 2000, XP is

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
    The path for Windows 9x and ME is

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
    Tips:
    • Google is your friend! Search before posting!
    • Name your thread appropriately... "I Need Help" doesn't cut it!

    This might help:
    To change the Default Name and Company Information
    Open your registry and find the key
    User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
    MS Setup (ACME)\User Info]
    Value Name: DefName, DefCompany
    Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

    Modify the two values named 'DefName' and 'DefCompany', and change the values to your current Name and Company respectively.
    PC performance buffs have long measured hardware advances using a few simple metrics: Is it faster? Is it bigger? Does it have more blinky lights?
