Customization to the Extreme-Part 1

If you like customization,this is extreme customization!First,be sure you know that I am not responsible for any damage that may occur while attempting these tweaks.Download PHM Registry Editor and find ControlPanel under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.Under the applet names that have this in them,delete the "Redirect" value and save changes. (here's how to put it back-1.On the Edit menu,tap New String Value.In the first box,type "Redirect,"tap OK,and tell it to save changes.)A few you might want to try are "Bluetooth"(enable it if you don't have Bluetooth and the Bluetooth settings applet will appear in Connections anyway.For these tweaks to take effect,you may have to soft reset.)Also enable AdminPassword.This one is neat.After a soft reset,an applet named Policy will appear in the System tab.In this applet,you can set up a password that is required to install new programs(Now you can have an "Administrator" section.)Also,enable "Updates."Please tell me if you can find out what this icon that appears in Connections after a soft reset does(anybody from Microsoft who knows?)Does anybody know how to enable the bluetooth tray icon and disable the "no bluetooth hardware installed on this device" message without buying the hardware?

A new discovery: Deleting "Redirect" under Power will create a new power applet after a soft reset!
