If
you increase the number of buffers that the redirector
reservers for network performance, it may increase your
network throughput. Each extra execution thread that you
configure will take 1k of additional nonpaged pool memory,
but only if your applications actually use them. To configure
additional buffers and threads, edit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Modify
or Add Value of type REG_DWORD for:
MaxCmds
The range is 0 - 255 and the default is 15
MaxThreads
Set it to the same value as MaxCmds
You
may also want to increase the value of MaxCollectionCount.
This REG_DWORD is the buffer for character-mode named
pipes writes. The default is 16 and the range is 0 -
65535.
Adding
"open with xyz" to every Explorer right click.
You
can add an new option to every right click by editing
the Registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* and Adding Value
EditFlags of type REG_BINARY. With the Hex button checked,
enter 02000000.
In
Explorer select view/options/File Types. Highlight the
* entry and click the Edit button. Click the New button.
In the "Action" box, type "open with
xyz". In the "Application ..." box, browse
to the program you wish to use. OK/Close out of the
dialogue boxes.
Now,
when you right click in explorer, you will always be
able to "open with xyz".
To
restrict this functionality to Unknown file types, perform
the Registry edit on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown instead.
To
undo this change:
Use
regedt32.exe to navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell.
In the right hand pane, delete the data value from the
entry. Then navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\ShellEx
and delete any Value Names. |
