Disable USB Drives
This is a simple registry tweak that will disable USB devices. It changes the registry a tiny bit to allow no access to these drives. I find this useful if I want to make sure no one can copy over sensitive data from my computer.
Also, some computer are accidentally changed to disable USB write. This could be caused by a virus, or carelessness while working with registry files.
Enable USB write
Disable USB Write
*Note that if you are an administrator, you can easily change this.

Windows XP Registry Tweaks
Listed below are several tweaks you can perform on your computer to enhance speed and make navigating a bit easier. Enjoy!
Automatically expanding folder trees
The folder view on the left in Windows Explorer automatically expands if you click on a folder containing sub-folders. You can disable this function with a registry tweak: change the DWORD-value FriendlyTree to 0 (instead of 1) in the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Automatically expanding folders will be disabled, expanding a folder is now done by double clicking the folder.
Windows search optimization
Within Windows XP you are able to search your computer for files (Start, Search), but takes some clicking to get what you want! To optimize the search function, you have to make some registry changes. To make changes, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
where you will find some important DWORD-values. Change these values to optimize your Windows search:
SearchSystemDirs=1
SearchHidden=1
IncludeSubFolders=1
CaseSensitive=0
SearchSlowFiles=1 (if you have a tape drive, else: 0)
