remove entrys from registry automatically

fatattack

Hi, I have a little general windows question with a reg file I know how to add entry's in the registry. Is it possible to use such a script to remove entry's ? It's quite annoying to go browsing the entire registry after every reinstall.

New Folder ?

dlever

I've always wondered why this option is not available - perhaps I've just overlooked something:- Is there a way to add a new Folder / Sub-Folder without having to highlight a Folder, then go File, New Folder ? I would like to right-click a folder and have a New Folder option.

Themes Issue

LanFeaR

OK ppl, I've recently taken the plunge to XP and got it working perfectly. The only problem I'm having is changing themes. I download them and unzipp'em into the \resource\themes DIR and etc. Many of the dowloads have install instructions attached which usually say that you must D-Click on the the filename.
