Old NV CP reg key (mods please sticky)

I noticed this question has been asked multiple times in pretty all the newer driver threads, so this'll be the end-all of all those questions:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"DevPolicies"=dword:00000000
"ModePolicies"=dword:00000000
"ModePersist_GPU:0_Mode:0"=hex:00,00,00,00,40,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 ,00,00,00

"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000001

 

• enableoldNV_CP.reg

 

doesnt work for me..

see the pic?



if i click the "start the nvidia control panel" ..i still get the new CP what am i doing wrong?

yes i double clicked the reg file
yes im using XP

 

Just go in reg edit and put that new dword; SedonaDriver and apply
in those little changes down below in other values and get old cp just in few sec.

 

BIGWORM, you hit the nail on the head, but most of those entries are unnecessary. Also, that fix only disables the new CP without the ability to switch back and forth.

Disables the new CP and leaves the old CP:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000001

Enables ability to switch between old and new CPs:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000002

Let me know if these do not work.

 

To OniKeaton
For me sedonadriver value set to 2 not enable anymore old cp.With these newer drivers.
I just have to edit those other values,wich you can see myearlier post

 

added the sedona but still wont work for me

 

why not just use nvtray to use old cp?

 

Waway,what's your value in sedonad?
Chek my upper post and try,should be work with those.

 

I don;t think OLD CP is for Vista....

 

Cheers, that worked like a charm

 

here:



still dont work..i guess ill update my driver first...
i dont understand why i have that much more Dword values too

 

Hmm, that reg fix doesn't work anymore. Only when initially installed it :behead:

 

Use NvTray works like a charm to enable old panel

 

Thanks, i vote for a sticky aswell, i spent ages searching the internet till i found this. Thanks. I use:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"DevPolicies"=dword:00000000
"ModePolicies"=dword:00000000
"ModePersist_GPU:0_Mode:0"=hex:00,00,00,00,40, 00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 ,00,00,00
"LutPersistDesktop_GPU:0_Head:0"=hex:00,00,00, 00,6 4,00,00,00,64,00,00,00,64,00,\
00,00,64,00,00,00,64,00,00,00,64,00,00,00,64,00,00 ,00,64,00,00,00,64,00,00,\
00
"LutPersistFSVM_GPU:0"=hex:00,00,00,00,64,00,0 0,00 ,47,00,00,00,47,00,00,00,5a,\
00,00,00,45,00,00,00,45,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 ,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000002

This adds the classic control panel, the ability to switch, and the temperature monitor.

 

could you add to the OP what this does and y you might want to use it? (a small explanation for newbies)
thanks
