Yeah - I knew they were similar but not identical
I was able to get the description to stay up long enough this time to see that replaced with the full NoActiveDesktopChanges value seen in full. Anything like that can simply be removed or simply highlighted where you can also modify the "1" value = turned on to "0"= turned off meaning the feature is no longer blocked.
you could have just widened the the column.....
It's a normal explorer window...
Or does the popup include a "description" of what the actual key does?
I had the regedit maxed out to full screen there and still had to hover the cursor over it to see the popup appear. The length of the text is why you see that abbreviated often with the number of characters exceeding what Windows will display.
The "NoActiveDesktop" seen in full is 15 characters while the "NoActiveDesktopChanges" is 22 going over the maximum. You'll see that quite a bit in there. The 15 character limit sees that all the time as you can see from simply creating the same NoActiveDesktop entry twice with the second seeing one more character(1) being added onto it.
Once you back away from it by moving the cursor somewhere else the same two entries I made there appear as...
Where the column header says "Type". You'll see the little black double arrow between the "Type" and the "Name" column.
Don't forget this is the system registry now now the usual view settings are available in there for file types, dates, name, size, etc.. You are strictly looking at the hives, keys, sub keys, dword, string, and other values. The viewing is simply setup to be familiar as you would expect when browsing through folders and sub folders for commonality there.
