2. copy the text at the end of his post (select it then press Ctrl-C) and open a notepad window (%windir%\system32\notepad.exe) then paste the text in (Ctrl-V) and save (Ctrl-S) using any name with the ending ".reg" (e.g "filename.reg"). then click on the file to run it and give your approval to merge the values into the registry.

No it's even simpeler!

:

1. Creatie a .txt file
2. Open it and past:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"IconServiceLib"="IconCodecService.dll"
"DdeSendTimeout"=dword:00000000
"DesktopHeapLogging"=dword:00000001
"GDIProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
"ShutdownWarningDialogTimeout"=dword:ffffffff
"USERNestedWindowLimit"=dword:00000032
"USERPostMessageLimit"=dword:00002710
"USERProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
@="mnmsrvc"
"DeviceNotSelectedTimeout"="15"
"Spooler"="yes"
"TransmissionRetryTimeout"="90"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
"IconServiceLib"="IconCodecService.dll"
"DdeSendTimeout"=dword:00000000
"DesktopHeapLogging"=dword:00000001
"GDIProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
"ShutdownWarningDialogTimeout"=dword:ffffffff
"USERNestedWindowLimit"=dword:00000032
"USERPostMessageLimit"=dword:00002710
"USERProcessHandleQuota"=dword:00002710
@="mnmsrvc"
"DeviceNotSelectedTimeout"="15"
"Spooler"="yes"
 "TransmissionRetryTimeout"="90"

3. save it
4. rename it to <anything>.reg
5. run it (as administrator?)
6. DONE!

Certainly simpler.
Just as certainly not as safe.

When editing the registry it's always a good idea to be able to undo what you've done and that's what exporting the unchanged keys beforehand allows you to do. That's what allowed coffeewow to give us his solution.
