Registry Hacking ! ! ! 1

Hey,

I have an application "TweakUI" which at a click of
a button removes all the history of various Windows
utilites below:


* Recent Document History

* Find Computer History

* Find Files History

* Internet Explorer History

* Internet Explorer Auto-Complete History

* Internet Explorer SSL State History

* Network Connection History

* Run History

* Telnet History

I was told that the way such an application works is by
removing certain registry keys or setting them with
different values.

Can someone help me locate these regsitry keys?
Also can someone tell me what do with the specific
keys - delete them or edit their values?

Perhaps someone has a good link to a website for
all this?

I'm planning on creating a VBScript that functions
like the application described above and need to know
where these registry keys are!

Any other suggestions on other "snooping" things to clean?

Thanks,
karmafree.
 
Xteq is a free utility that does a lot more than TweakUI does. It also has the ability to record every change to a text file. If you open up the text file, every registry key modification made will be visible.

Download Xteq from this location:


Once installed, open the XSetup Default UI for Power Users, press the record button on the tool bar and make modifications. Once you hit the record button again, it will prompt you to save the file.

Good Luck
