My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log

Question on #8 disable sms message sent. I follow the registry down to "settings" and then my choices are OEM or Svc. Can't find that string that reads SMSNoSentMs g = "2". I'm greener than grass with this stuff so go slow and thanks.

I confirmed that the path is correct:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g =2

The only other thing I have in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ is an empty folder titled 'OEM'. No 'Svc' folder.

Have you made any othert mods that could've changed the directory's contents? Your call but you can probably add a DWORD 'SMSNoSentMsg' entry with a value of 2 without any real concern about being able to undo it if it doesn't work.

I think you are having the same problem i had when i first started trying to figure out registry edits... When you get down to the settings folder and open it you have another folder "OEM". And then you are probably looking for another folder "SMSNoSentMs".

Instead you actually need to click on that "Settings" folder. The "SMSNoSentMs" is actually in that settings folder. Not in a folder in the folder. If that makes any sense. SO instead of opening the plus sign on the Settings folder- you actually need to go into the settings folder and when you do you should see what you are looking for.

hope that makes sense.

Maison, many thanks for your help. I followed your instructions and got to where I needed to go. Couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again.

No prob. I know how frustrating this stuff can be bc i am trying to figure it all out too. Like, i said, i was doing the exact same thing you were- and then i accidentally clicked on the folder instead of the plus sign and- bingo.

Shoot- i am such a noob- i kept searching for "HKLM" and i was like, "Man, i don't know what is going on, but i do not have any "HKLM" anywhere.
