Much faster Start Menu by turning animation off
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu
Change AniType"=dword:00000006 to "AniType"=dword:00000000Set:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Choose low battery notification by adding a new string to control it
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408 Add string value.
Value name: Default
value date: low battery warning
Then go to setting ->personal ->notification and sound,->event. Then you'll see many choices
And as we can see, things under the notifications folder are probably all different events. So we can control others similarly.
We can override the limit of 7 items on the start menu with this.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu
I haven't been able to spend time on it but here are some directions that you can go. These are the SDKs microsoft enable you to download. You can emulate your device on your computer and play around with it. And of course, it is going to be much faster and much easier to operate that on your computer instead of poking your device. Plus, if you do something wrong, there's no risk.

I read some Microsoft development blog that says the SDK provides a lot of information about the registry. So someone could really play with all the registry settings and see what each of them does. It is too big a project for me now but it will be very useful to do further tweaks. I mean if you look up the tweaks in the internet, they are just making trivial changes without big improvements in performance, and that's why I only have these three here. A bigger step could be made if we figure out what each registry entry does and we'll be able to control the device much better.
