(2) there is a double byte value item of ShowInfoTip in the subkey, which is the prompt information used to decide whether to turn off the desktop icon. The default value of the numeric data is 1, which indicates the prompt information. Change the value data of this value to 0, which means the prompt information to turn off the desktop icon. (3) quit the registry editor and restart the computer. When the computer is started, users will find that clicking on any icons on the desktop will no longer see the tooltip.

This section focuses on configuring users how to configure advanced settings for system icons and shortcut icons by modifying the registry. 2.3.1 modify [my computer] (or other system tools icon) message on the Windows desktop, when the user moves the mouse to [my computer] icon, the system will automatically give [display on your computer files and folders information]. Users can modify the registry to change this prompt information, the steps are as follows: (1) start the registry editor and open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069- A2D8-08002B30309D} subkey. (2) a InfoTip string value in the sub item, the value system of numerical data item is [my computer] message, users can modify according to their needs, we will assume here [my computer] message to come [I double-click]. (3) from the registry editor and restart the computer, then when the user moves the mouse to [my computer] when you will find my message [Computer] has been changed to double my [fast], as shown in figure 2.9. Figure 2.9 [tips for my computer] The user can modify the message except [my computer], that information can also modify the other system tools icon, in order to facilitate the user prompt information, icon on these tools to modify the system, we are listed in Table 2.1 are special item in the CLSID sub item in the sub item. When you change the tooltip for other system tool icons, simply change the subkey in step 1 to the corresponding subkey in table 2.1. Table 2.1 other special items and their CLSID Special item The corresponding subkey in the CLSID subkey Inbox {00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} Control panel {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} Printers and faxes {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} Internet Temporary Files {7BD29E00-76C1-11CF-9DD0-00A0C9034933} Briefcase { 85bbd920-42a0-1069-a2e4-08002b30309d } ActiveX高速缓存文件夹 { 88c6c381-2e85-11d0-94de-444553540000 } 网络连接 { 992cffa0-f557-101a-88ec-00dd010ccc48 } Web文件夹 { bdeadf00-c265-11d0-bced-00a0c90ab50f } 计划任务 { d6277990-4c6a-11cf-8d87-00aa0060f5bf } 预定文件夹 { f5175861-2688-11d0-9c5e-00aa00a45957 } 历史 { ff393560-c2a7-11cf-bff4-444553540000 } 2.3.2更改【我的电脑】(或其他系统工具)的名称和图标用户通过 修改注册表不但可以修改【我的电脑】的提示信息，还可以修改【我 的电脑】的名称和图标，操作步骤如下: (1)启动注册表编辑器，打开hkey_classes_root \ CLSID \ { 20d04fe0-3aea-1069 - a2d8-08002b30309d }子项。 (2)该子项中的默认字符串值项的数值数据就是【我的电脑】的名 称，用户可以根据自己的需要进行修改，如可以改为【我的计算机】。 (3)该子项中还有一个名为用作默认图像的图标的子项，用作默认 图像的图标子项中的默认字符串值项就是【我的电脑】图标的路径， 用户可以根据自己的需要输入用户选定的图标路径及图标文件名，如 可改为“F:\ PIC .bmp”。 (4)退出注册表编辑器并重新启动计算机，更改前后的结果如图2.10 所示。 修改前的图标修改后的图标 2.10修改【我的电脑】的名称和图标图 修改其他系统工具的名称和图标时，只需将步骤1中的子项换成表2.1中相应的子项即可。 2.3.3关闭【我的电脑】(或其他系统工具)的提示信息前面我们讲到【我的电脑】的提示信息可以通过修改注册表来进行修改，但是这些提示信息或多或少地也占用了系统部分资源，为了节省系统资源，用户也可以通过修改注册表来关闭【我的电脑】的提示信息，操作步骤如下: (1)启动注册表编辑器，打开hkey_classes_root \ CLSID \ { 20d04fe0-3aea-1069 - a2d8-08002b30309d }子项。 (2)删除该子项中的InfoTip值项。 (3)退出注册表编辑器并重新启动计算机。 当计算机启动完毕后，用户用鼠标单击【我的电脑】时，就会发现系统不再弹出提示信息。如果用户需要恢复提示信息的显示，则需要重新创建InfoTip值项，并将该值项的数值数据设为提示信息。 关闭其他系统工具的提示信息时，只需将步骤1中的子项换成表2.1中相应的子项即可。 2.3.4禁止打开【我的电脑】(或其他系统工具)图标有些时候，我们为了防止其他用户在【我的电脑】中擅自修改其中的内容，可以通过修改注册表来禁止其他用户打开【我的电脑】，操作步骤如下: (1)启动注册表编辑器，打开hkey_classes_root \ CLSID \ { 20d04fe0-3aea-1069 - a2d8-08002b30309 D } \ inprocserver32 子项。 (2)将inprocserver32子项中的默认值项的数值数据由 “%systemroot% \ System32 \ shell32. dll“修改为 “%systemroot% \ System32 \ shell32. dll”。 (3)退出注册表编辑器并重新启动计算机。 禁止打开其他系统工具的图标时，只需将步骤1中的子项换成表2.1 中相应的子项即可。 2.3.5取消快捷方式图标中的小箭头在Windows系统中为了区分桌面 上的图标哪些是文件图标，哪些是应用图标，规定在快捷方式图标的 左下角添加了一个小箭头。而在计算机的实际操作中，用户只是关心 桌面图标能否打开相对应的文件和应用程序，而不会注意到图标是否 为快捷方式的图标。而且有时快捷图标的小箭头还影响到快捷方式图 标的观赏性，为了去掉快捷方式上的小箭头，我们可以通过修改注册 表来达到此目的，操作步骤如下: (1)启动注册表编辑器， Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile subkey. (2) delete the IsShortcut string value entry in the lnkfile subkey, and the IsShortcut value item is used to control whether to display small arrows in the ordinary application and data file shortcuts. (3) open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile subkey. (4) delete the IsShortcut string value entry in the piffile subkey, and the IsShortcut value item is used to control whether or not to display the small arrow of the MS_DOS program shortcut. (5) when you exit the registry editor, the user will find that the small arrow on the shortcut icon on the desktop disappears, and figure 2.11 shows the contrast of the small arrow before and after the disappearance of the arrow. 2.3 settings [my computer] and shortcut icons (2) 2.3.6 small arrow shortcuts to the small arrow icon other shortcut icons in icon for the shortcut will sometimes have an impact, if the user wants more distinctive icons on the desktop, the small arrow can modify the registry to use other icons as a shortcut icon on the steps. The following: (1) start the registry editor and open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ Windows \CurrentVersion\Explorer subkey. (2) create a child item called Shell Icons in the Explorer subkey. (3) in the Shell Icons subkey, create a string value entry called 29. (4) the numeric value of the 29 value item is set to the path of the user selected picture and the name of the image file, as shown in figure 2.12. Here we assume that the data of the 29 value item is set to E:\WINNT\System32\TWEAKUI.CPL, 1. Figure 2.12 sets the 29 value item (5) quit the registry editor and restart the computer. After the computer restarts, the user will find that the shortcut icon on the desktop has changed, as shown in figure 2.13. The modified icon before the modified Icon Figure 2.13 changes the small arrows in the shortcut to other icons If the user needs to restore the small arrow in the shortcut icon, just delete the contents of the Shell Icons child and the item contained in the shortcut. 2.3.7 hides shortcuts (4 words) in the shortcut icon In everyday computer usage, a user creates a shortcut on the system desktop for the convenience of opening some applications to the executable files of these applications. The Windows system provides many kinds of methods to create a shortcut for the user, but these methods to create a shortcut, shortcuts application named [shortcut name] + application, such as the name of the shortcut icon Winzip application is a shortcut [Winzip]. In this case, as more and more shortcuts are created, more and more "shortcuts" will appear on the screen, 4 words. From the aesthetic point of view, the user can modify the registry to make the shortcut icon is named without "shortcut" 4 words, the steps are as follows: (1) start the registry editor and open the HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ Windows \CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer subkey. (2) create a binary value item called link in the Explorer subkey and set the value data of the value item to 00000000. (3) quit the registry editor and restart the computer.
