Multiple User Profiles.

• 1.Start Internet Mail
• 2.Start Regedit, then move to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Internet Mail and News / Mail / POP3.
• 3.Configure Internet Mail for one of your POP3 servers.
• 4.ALT + TAB to Regedit and press F5 to update the display.
• 5.Export the server under POP3 to a *.reg file. You do this by selecting the key and, from Regedit's menu, choosing Registry | Export Registry File. Make sure that you export just the relevant branch and not the whole registry.
• 6.ALT + TAB back to Internet Mail.
• 7.Repeat from step (3) for as many servers as you have.
• 8.Export the whole HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software/ Internet Mail and News / Mail key to a reg file.
• 9.Merge this reg file back to the registry. You now should have multiple servers under POP3.
• 10.Set the Default POP Server entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Internet Mail and News / Mail to the one you choose as your default.
• 11.Set the PollMultiplePOPServers entry under HEKY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Internet Mail and News / Mail to 1 instead of zero. When you click on Send and Receive, all the servers will be checked automatically and all mail will be downloaded.

• Other Programs. Sam Birch has developed PersIMAN and Patrick Freeman has developed SwitchIt. Both programs allow you to set up and access multiple accounts and profiles without having to manually modify your System Registry using RegEdit. Both programs are well conceived and easy to use.

  When a customer tries to go to Mail/Read Mail in IE3.02 and they get a window asking them to choose a folder to store their e-mail and then they get an error "Unable to start Application" and no other error, it may be a registry problem.

  Back up the user.dat and system.dat...uninstall I.E....run regedit...select

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• SOFTWARE
• MICROSOFT
• Delete the Internet Mail folder
• Reboot and re-install I.E.

  Worked for me...BUT I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT DOESN'T FOR YOU!!!

  Changing the MaxMTU and other Network Settings

  There are four network settings that can be configured so when dialing to an ISP, you should get somewhat greater throughput.
  They are the MaxMTU, MaxMSS and DefaultRcvWindow, and DefaultTTL

  MaxMTU and MaxMSS

  1.Start REGEDIT 2.Go to Hkey_Local_Machine / System / CurrentControlset / Services / Class / netTrans / 000n
  (where n is your particular network adapter binding.)
  3.Right click on the right panel
  4.Select New / String Value
  5.Type in MaxMTU
  6.Double click on it and enter then the number you want. The usual change is to 576
  7.Similarly, you can add MaxMSS and give it a value of 536

  DefaultRcvWindows and DefaultTTL

  1.Start REGEDIT
  2.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System /
  CurrentControlSet / Services / VxD / MSTCP
  3.Add a new string DefaultRcvWindow and give it a value of 2144
  4.Add a new string DefaultTTL and give it a value of 60-64

  If you see autologon (on the right side) with a value of 00, double-click on it, and replace the value with 01 00 00 00 00.
  You'll have to restart Windows for this change to take effect.  Thanks to Jim Mick.
  

  Addendum: I tried this but didn't have autologon listed. I added it as a Dword,gave it a value of 0, rebooted and my password was grayed out. I went back in, changed the value to 1, rebooted and it was enabled. On my end, it works.  ........Charlie

  Clear Unwanted Entries from Add/Remove Programs

  In Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, a list of installed applications is displayed for the purpose of easy removal. Only programs that are correctly designed for Windows95 will show up here, but there is no obvious method for removing these entries without uninstalling the programs. Also, if you've deleted a program without uninstalling it, the name will stay here and you can't get rid of it.

        To remove an entry, do the following:

  Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
  Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ SOFTWARE/ Microsoft/ Windows/ CurrentVersion/ Uninstall, and remove any unwanted keys under "Uninstall."

  Note: This setting can also be changed with TweakUI, one of Microsoft's PowerToys.

  Restore the Registry by using DOS. System.dat and User.dat are your current registry files, while System.da0 and User.da0 are saved copies of the last time your system started properly. To change, go to the DOS prompt. Change to the /Windows directory and turn off the attributes on all four files.

     Type:
  

         attrib -s -h -r System.dat
         attrib -s -h -r System.da0
         attrib -s -h -r User.dat
         attrib -s -h -r User.da0
  

  Then copy the .da0 files over the .dat files.

     At the same prompt, type:
         copy System.da0 System.dat
         copy User.da0 User.dat
  

     Then restore the attributes by typing:
         attrib +s +h +r System.dat
         attrib +s +h +r System.da0
         attrib +s +h +r User.dat
         attrib +s +h +r User.da0

  If you think your cache expires too soon, you can change these settings in the registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ��� Software|Microsoft|Windows|CurrentVersion|Internet Settings|Cache

  Change CleanupInterval and FreshnessInterval (value is in seconds, LSB first).

  I set them both to seven days (value=80 3A 09 00). No more expired channel icons, the cache can get bigger (I have it at around 32MB, but it never filled...). Browsing is faster now.

  Many items in the cache expire at the time set in CleanupTime (defaults to 0: midnight?). Re the other values, your guess is as good as mine.

  The default configuration of Microsoft Internet News generates its own Message-Id's.

  If the user has only a Dial-Up-Connection to his News-Server, the consequence are illegal MSG-Id's, because they do not contain a legal (RFC-compliant) address, only the machine name.

  There is a registry switch:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Mail and News\DoNotGenerateNewsMessageId

  If you set this switch to 1, Microsoft News does not generate any Id, and your News-Server puts in a correct Id.

  If you are having trouble seeing your Toolbar after you have installed IMN, run Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Internet Mail and News. At this point there will be two subkeys, namely "Mail" and "News." Double click on Mail and you will see many values. Click on "Layout" and delete it and do the same for "Tools." Do the same thing under the "News" subkey. Having deleted the Layout and Tools values from both "Mail" and "News" will force the Toolbar to come up in its default configuration.

  One at a time, click each of the keys under NameSpace, watching the name that appears in the right pane, one of them should match the icon you want to get rid of. When you find it, right-mouse click its key in the left pane, choose Delete, and close the Registry Editor.

  Click on the desktop once, then F5 on your keyboard (to refresh). The icon should then disappear.

  BTW, You can use this same technique to get rid of the InBox, MSN, and Recycle Bin icons.

  How to Troubleshoot Registry Errors

  Last reviewed: August 14, 1997 Article ID: Q131431

  The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Windows 95 IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the Windows folder. SYMPTOMS When you start Windows 95, you may receive one of the following error messages: There is not enough memory to load the registry. Windows has encountered an error accessing the system registry. You should restore the registry now and restart the computer. If you ignore this error and shut down your system, you may lose data. Restoring the registry replaces the faulty registry with a known good backup copy. However, this backup copy may not contain all the information recently added to your system. NOTE: If you click the Restore From Backup And Restart button, you receive the error message again as Windows 95 restarts. CAUSE These error messages may occur if the registry is damaged. RESOLUTION WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. NOTE: For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry. Perform the steps outlined in each method below (as needed) to restore a damaged registry. Using Real-Mode Registry Editor Use Registry Editor in real mode to export, then import, the registry file. To do so, follow these steps: Restart the computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F8 key, then choose "Safe mode command prompt only" from the Startup menu. Type the following line to export the registry regedit /l:<path1> /e <path2>system.txt where <path1> is the path to the System.dat file and <path2> is the path to the destination file. For example, if Windows 95 is installed in the Windows folder on drive C, type the following line: regedit /l:c:\windows\system.dat /e c:\system.txt Type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line: cd\windows attrib -s -h -r system.dat Type the following line to rename the current registry file: ren system.dat system.old Type the following line to import the System.dat portion of the registry regedit /l:<path1> /c <path2>system.txt where <path1> is the path to the System.dat file and <path2> is the path containing the file to import. For example, if Windows 95 is installed in the Windows folder on drive C and you want to import the System.txt file from the root folder of drive C, type: regedit /l:c:\windows\system.dat /c c:\system.txt NOTE: If an "Unable to open registry" or "Error accessing the registry" error message is displayed when you attempt to import the System.dat portion of the registry, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for more information about the error message: ARTICLE-ID: Q132064 TITLE : Regedit May Not Be Able to Import Registry with Large Keys Restart Windows 95 normally. If the error continues to occur, follow these steps: Restart the computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F8 key, and then choose "Safe mode command prompt only" from the Startup menu. Type the following line to export the User.dat portion of the registry regedit /r:<path1> /e <path2>user.txt where <path1> is the path to the User.dat file and <path2> is the path to the destination file. For example, if Windows 95 is installed in the Windows folder on drive C, type the following line: regedit /r:c:\windows\user.dat /e c:\user.txt Type the following lines, pressing ENTER after each line: cd\windows attrib -s -h -r user.dat Type the following line to rename the User.dat file: ren user.dat user.old Type the following line to import the User.dat portion of the registry regedit /r:<path1> /c <path2>user.txt where <path1> is the path to the User.dat file and <path2> is the path containing the file to import. For example, if Windows 95 is installed in the Windows folder on drive C and you want to import the User.txt file from the root folder of drive C, type: regedit /r:c:\windows\user.dat /c c:\user.txt NOTE: If an "Unable to open registry" or "Error accessing the registry" error message is displayed when you attempt to import the User.dat portion of the registry, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: ARTICLE-ID: Q132064 TITLE : Regedit May Not Be Able to Import Registry with Large Keys Restart Windows 95 normally.

  How to move the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) to a new location.

  I'm sure the final version will allow you to move the cache anywhere you like.� If you are desperate to do it now, you have to do a small registry hack.� If you've never used Regedit, find out how before you try this (or just wait 3 weeks ).

  First, copy the Temporary Internet Files folder to its new location.� Open Regedit, navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

  In the right-hand pane you will see "Cache", with the path.� Right-click this|Modify, and enter the complete path to the new location.

  Reboot your computer, and, when you see "Starting Windows95", press F8, choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only.� Then type these commands exactly (assuming the default path):

  attrib -s c:\windows\tempor~1
  deltree /y c:\windows\tempor~1       ��� (this might take a few minutes)

  Use Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot to Windows.

  If you have multiple users on your PC, the paths will not be as stated.� In that case, forget about deleting c:\windows\tempor~1, even though it exists. You must delete the \tempor~1 folder.

  How to change the logo at the top right of Internet Explorer.

  1.Construct a Windows RGB encoded bitmap, width 48 pixels and height 48n pixels, where n is the number of frames. This is the transpose of the structure you use for Netscape's 48m.bmp throbber. The bitmap can have any name. Note: you can make throbbers for Internet Explorer with frames of any size, as long as they're square (thanks to NPherno).

  2.Using REGEDIT, open the Registry and move to

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar.

  Create (or change) a string with name BrandBitmap and give it the fully qualified name of the throbber file. For example, if the BMP is called DBTHROB2.BMP in directory C:\THROB you'd enter C:\THROB\DBTHROB2.BMP as the value.

  3.That's all that's needed. BTW, you can also change the background of the toolbar by repeating step 2 but creating a string called BackBitmap. Give this the name of a bitmap (preferably a small one - it will be automatically tiled) and the boring background will be replaced. If you use a large bitmap you'll only see the top of it. You can always revert to the original background and throbber by giving the strings null values - i.e. deleting whatever value they currently have.

  Thanks to Throbbers Web site for this tweak.

  Change Logo in IE4.0 and Outlook Express.

  If you remove the .bmp files from your "Internet Explorer folder"/signup/ folder, when you reboot and start IE4, you will see the regular "e" that was there in other version of IE.

  To get your search page to be Microsoft's or whatever, start Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software,Microsoft,Internet Explorer,Main and modify the string called Search Bar to this: "http://home.microsoft.com/search/search.asp" . Restart IE4 and you will see the change.

  Also, to have what you want on top of IE4 and OE, in Regedit again, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER,Software,Microsoft , modify the string called " Window Title" to just say Outlook Express or whatever you want to see there. For IE, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software, Microsoft,Internet Explorer, Main and modify the string called "Window Title" to say " Microsoft Internet Explorer" or whatever you wish to see on top of your IE window.

  How to stop IE4 Splash at each bootup

  Open Registry Editor (regedit.exe)

  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE Software
  Microsoft
  Windows
  Current Version
  Run
  Browser Web Check

  By browser web check is the trigger, loadwc.exe

  Eliminate that reference to loadwc.exe (Delete it - the whole entry), Modify it by making it blank, that is, deleting loadwc.exe - I have not tried what might also work - rename it(?) ex. xloadwc.exe; I do not know what that would do to the boot process)

  I would not suggest deleting the file loadwc.exe from windows\system, as it may be used for other functions, but this stops the long Splash announcing IE4 that some people experience at bootup

  No matter what I do, I cannot keep Outlook Express as my default mail client.

  Open Regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Clients / Mail. All available mail clients have entries (subkeys) under this key, and the value of the key itself determines which of the clients actually is used. Change the default value of DWORD in the right hand pane for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Clients / Mail to "Outlook Express" (without the quotation marks). Or make any mail client the default one in the same manner.

  To put a bitmap on the IE Toolbar, do the Registry hack below.

  In the registry go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\

  Add a string value "BackBitmap" then right-click it. Modify and give it a path to your bitmap.

  I used the clouds.bmp in the Windows folder.

  If you are not familiar with the registry don't try it. If you are familiar with the registry - back it up first! Proceed at your own risk. [:-)

  If you continually get this message after updating to IE4.01, try the Registry edit below.

  

  Open Regedit, go to this key,

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | Active Setup | Installed Components | {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383} ]

  Right-click the name "Version Available" and choose "delete"

  Reboot your computer.

  I upgraded IE from an ISP cdrom version of IE which "locks" the start page URL address to their homepage.

  The preference window after the install is still locked (grayed-out) so the browser always opens to msn.com's start page. I cannot typeover this default address or override it in any form. Obviously some files were still present on the upgrade which sets this option unchangable. Tried a full uninstall of old IE with same result. Anyone know the fix?

  Run regedit.exe. Open the following key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Control Panel

  Change the value of Home Page to 0.

  I want to delete all the personal Certificates in IE4.0X. How is that done?

  Open Regedit. Delete all the folders under the following registry key, and then restart your computer:

  [HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My\Certificates]

  My Links Bars is visible but the links do not show on it. What is going on?

  Open Regedit and navigate to this key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

  Under it are 2 sub-keys named \WebBrowser and \ShellBrowser.

  In both of those sub-keys, in the right hand pane, delete this entry, if it is there:

  {0E5CBF21-D15F-11D0-8301-00AA005B4383}

  It must be deleted from BOTH sub-keys.
  Reboot, and your Links should be working properly.

  Thanks to Tom Koch.
