Registry wont let me save
I want my aero peek to pop up and give me a preview of what is happening as soon as I put my mouse over the tab. This is easy to do by going into regedit,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and making a new Dword called ExtendedUIHoverTime with the value 1 as a decimal. My problem is that it wont let me save the dword as a decimal. It automatically pops back to hexadecimal. Do you guys have any idea why this is happening? Solutions? PS: Other things have worked. Just this one dword that wont do its job.

I followed this tutorial (linked to by pcmech). I have performed the action two other times on this computer (reinstalled) and it worked both of those times. This time it wont. Every time I reopen the dword it says its a hexadecimal instead of a normal decimal.

Here's a site:
MS-DOS reg command help I had to use the command line once to fix a machine on which a virus had disabled the registry editor and the folder options, that's how I know you can do it. Unfortunately, I'm no expert and I was just following directions. But you're smarter than I, so you can do it. This is actually your last resort. ADDENDUM: Essentially you want to either modify or create an entry. Last edited by Nuclear Krusader; 02-26-2011 at 04:29 PM. |
