Tweak UI for XP Pro?

[mufka]

Microsoft says there is no Tweak UI for XP Pro. Does anyone know the registry hacks to accomplish some of the things that Tweak UI does? Like all the paranoia stuff: clear run history, browser history, document history, etc. at logoff. The group policy editor does some of it but not the run history and browser history.

There are options under the Start Menu Properties page to Remove the list of recently accessed documents, programs, and Web sites from the Documents menu (which includes IE6 drop down menu). Look for the "Clear" button.

Under Tools in IE6/Internet Options/ Advanced, scroll down to Security. There is an option to clear Temprary Internet Files when closing Browser.

Again under Tools/Internet Options there is a button to "Clear" History. This empties the History folder. This folder stores shortcuts to the pages you viewed during this and previous browsing sessions. You can also adjust the number of days History is kept.

You can investigate utilities like Xteq Systems X-Setup from

Don't Microsoft have something called Power Toys for XP?

work with XP Pro at:
