Hey guys welcome back this is Bernardo from the BTNHD and today is all about my top six
registry hacks that I like to use within Windows 10 and I'm going to show you guys what I do
when I get a new machine. So let's get started alright so there's a couple of registry hacks
that I like to do when I get a new machine, and that machine has windows 10 right, and
the first one I like to do is add an app to the desktop context menu. So how would you
do this. So before we even start I'm going to right click on the Start menu go to run,
type in WINVER hit OK. And I'm running everything within a Windows 10 version 1909 now on the
desktop we are going to right click on the Start menu, go to run and within here we are
going to type in regedit, and we are going to hit OK. We're going to get the User Account
Control we are going to hit yes for that from here we are going to select the HKEY classes
root. And the reason why I'm selecting it is because with Windows 10, and the registry
editor you're able to type in the location. So this is where we need to get into first.
So within the address bar, I'm going to get inside of it, and we are going to type in
the following, we need to get into the directory, background, and Shell. So once you hit enter,
it's going to take you directly in there. So within the shell node we need to right
click on it and once we right click on it, we are going to go to new within New we are
going to pick key. And the key that we are going to create is called Notepad, so I'm
going to enter the notepad. Now within Notepad, we are going to right click on that new key.
We're going to go to new from here we are going to click on key because we need to create
another key inside Notepad. And we are going to name it command. Now, once you do that,
we need to locate the path of that Notepad. Now the notepad is actually located within
Windows system32. I'm going to locate the EXE file for the notepad. I'm going to hold
the shift key and then right click on the notepad application. When I do that, it gives
me a new option which allows me to copy as path. So I'm going to pick copy as path, we're
going to go back inside the registry editor, and within the Command key we're going to
double click on default and paste that path in there, and then click OK. And we're done.
Now within the desktop you're able to right click, and you're going to see Notepad. And
then when you click on Notepad, it's going to launch up the notepad now the next windows
10 hack that I like to use is display seconds on the taskbar. As you can see by default,
it only gives you hours and minutes, but sometimes I like to see the seconds. So again, within
the registry editor, we are going to pick the HKEY current user within the address bar
I'm going to click inside of it. And we need to get into software, Microsoft, Windows,
currentversion, Explorer and advance, that is the location that we need to get into we're
going to hit enter. Once you hit enter, it's going to take you directly to that path. How
easy is that right, we're going to right click on advance and within advance we are going
to go to new, and within New we are going to click on D word 32 bit value. Now the value
name that we are going to pick is the following show seconds in system clock. And it has to
be exactly the way that you guys see it with the capital letters and everything. So once
you rename that D word 32, we're going to double click on it and the value that we're
going to set would be one, and hit OK. And we need to restart your machine or just basically
log off log back on and you're going to see that, you know, your time clock now has seconds.
Now the next hack that I like to do is remove 3D objects from the PC. So if you open up
your Windows Explorer, you're going to see 3D objects, it's a folder that no one uses,
not to remove 3D objects is pretty simple, we're going to select our HKEY local machine
that's going inside the editors address bar, and we need to type in the following we need
to go inside software, Microsoft, Windows, currentversion, Explorer, my computer, namespace
and hit enter. It's going to take you directly there. Now there's a bunch of keys within
namespace. And you just basically need to locate the one that you need to delete, you're
actually deleting it to remove it. So the one that we need to find is this one the last
four characters that you're looking for would be 513A. That is the one that is assigned
to the 3D objects folder. So we are going to select it, right click on it. Pick delete.
It's going to give you a nice little warning. You know, we want to delete it so click on
Yes, and you're done. You don't need to restart a log off. So go back inside your Windows
Explorer and 3D objects is removed. Now the next one on my list would be disabled lock
screens. And what is disable lock screen so you get this, which means you have to, you
know, use your mouse or use the direction keys or press the spacebar anything for this
guy to go up, and then you're able to log in, and once you log in, it takes you in there.
We want to disable that now to disable that within your registry editor, we need to go
inside the HKEY local machine. Again go inside your address bar, and we need to type in the
following. We're going to go inside software, policy, Microsoft, and then windows and hit
enter, it's going to take you directly in there now within the Windows key we're going
to right click on it, and we're going to go to new, and we are going to pick key, you're
going to rename your new key to the following, it would be personalization. And within that
personalization key we are going to right click on it, go to new, and we are going to
pick D word 32. Now your D word 32, we need to rename it and we're going to rename it
the following no lock screen with a capital N capital L and a capital S. We're going to
double click on it. And we're going to make sure that we set the value to one hit OK.
Once you're done, you can restart the machine or just log off, but once you log off or you
sign out, you're going to see that is going to directly take you to here. You won't have
that lock screen anymore. Now the next one in my list is all about disabling bing. If
you click on your start menu, and you type in, let's say, cats, it's automatically gonna
go outside and search for cats you don't want that you're looking for an image within your
machine for cats right. So to disable bing within the start menu is pretty simple, again
we are going to go inside the registry editor, we need to go inside, HKEY current user go
inside their address bar, and we need to type in the following. We need to go inside software,
Microsoft Windows, currentversion, and search, and hit enter. Once you do that it takes you
directly to there. And on the search key node, we need to right click on it, we're going
to pick new, we're going to pick a D word 32 bit. And we need to rename it change the
name to the following as being search enabled, with a capital B S, and E double click on
it, and make sure the value is set to zero. Click OK, if you go back to start and you
start searching for something let's say cats is not going to go to Bing and search for
it. Next one in my list is all about disabling Cortana within Windows 10. Now again within
the registry editor, we need to go inside your HKEY local machine, and within the address
bar we need to type in the following. We need to go in inside software, policies, Microsoft
and windows and hit enter, is going to take you directly there, and within the Windows
key node we need to right click on it. We are going to go to new, and we are going to
create a new key. Now the new key we are going to rename it to Windows search, right, Windows
space search. Okay, now within your new key we are going to right click on it. We're going
to go to new, and we are going to pick a D word 32 bit value. And that new value we're
going to rename it to the following allow Cortana with a capital A and a capital C,
we're going to double click on that key, and make sure that value is set to zero. Once
you're done, we're going to click OK. Restart your machine, and then Cortana should be disabled
