Thanks

I don't know if there is just one list - what are you trying to achieve?
I have written a logon script writtten in vb and just need a list and any ideas of settings to apply
DO NOT apply ANY registry tweaks in Windows 7. Windows 7 is already sharply optimized and simply does not need "tweaking." You're just asking for trouble.
MacGyvr, I think he's trying to write a logon script that will specify limitations for user accounts when they log in.
I've heard of stuff like this done in *inx systems used to completely dictate the limitations of accounts.
In some ways, this is far superior to group policy editing since you can make the changes as needed, push the update to the server, and force a logout/login with the new policies in place.

A list of names of my reg tweaks when doing a fresh install. This tweaks 7 for me, none of them are dangerous, one click of a bat file and they are all automagically installed. Depends what you are looking to do.Code:ARTE FARTE -M$ Paint -Snip.reg CASCADED MAIL.reg DESKTOP RESTORE MoveTo COMMON FILES.reg ELEVATED CMD TO DRIVE -ADD.reg ELEVATED CMD TO FOLDER -ADD.reg ELEVATED CMD TO PUTER -ADD.reg MANAGE -PC -REMOVE.reg NO DRIVES IN SEND TO MENU.reg NOTEPAD -USE.reg PIN TO START ENABLE.reg REGISTRY EDITOR -ADD.reg REMOVE REMOTE COMPUTER.reg RESTART EXPLORER IN CONTEXT.reg RESTORE PREVIOUS VERSIONS -REMOVE.reg SHUT DOWN TIMEOUT 2,50 SECS.reg TAKE OWNERSHIP IN CONTEXT.reg WINDOWS UPDATE - ADD TO PC.reg AERO SNAP -OFF.reg BRIEFCASE -REMOVE.reg COMMON DIALOG (SAVE IN).reg Context Icons Merged.reg COPYTO~MOVETO ~ CONTEXT.reg DISABLE 8.3 NAME CREATION.reg DISABLE AUTO BSOD REBOOT.reg DRIVE LETTERS FIRST.reg FLIP 3D TO CONTEXT -ADD.reg HIBERNATE OFF.reg LOGON WELCOME BCKGRD CHANGE.reg PREVIOUS VERSIONS TAB - REMOVE.reg SHORTCUT ARROW - REMOVE.reg SHUT DOWN TIMEOUT 2,5 SECS.reg WINDOWS UPDATE NO AUTO REBOOT.reg NUMLOCK ON.reg LIBRARY IN CONTEXT - REMOVE.REG CCLEAN ICON IN BIN.REG CD DVD BURNING -HIDE.REG CMD WINDOW COLOUR.reg Copy File Name - Add.reg Copy Path Name - Add.reg DELETE - ADD.REG DISK CLEANUP 2 My PC -ADD.reg Drive Icons.reg EXPLORER ADD TO LIBRARY -HIDE.REG FOLDER VIEW AUTO ARRANGE - DISABLE.REG I.E.8 Title Change.reg I.E.8 Toolbar on Top.reg I.E.8 WELCOME PAGE -OFF.REG LIBRARIES - DISABLE.REG REM LIBRARY PANE - HIDE.REG Prevent Cursor Change by Theme.REG Prevent Desktop Icons Change by Theme.reg Run CCleaner Icon.reg SHELLNEW CLEAN UP.REG TOOLTIP HOVER - 0.3s.reg WINDOWS SEARCH FOR SOLUTION - OFF.REG WINDOWS UPDATE - ADD TO PC.reg WMP Auto Update Off.reg
Hi Heather,
You just need to know the registry entry - put it into a .reg file and merge it - either individually, or via a .bat or .cmd file with the line regedit /s refilename.reg
Or you can do it this way directly via .cmd
short extract here - adds 7-zip cont men to winpe
Any specific ones you are looking for?Code:reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression" /f /v "Level" /t REG_DWORD /d 5 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression" /f /v "Archiver" /t REG_SZ /d "7z" reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression" /f /v "ShowPassword" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression" /f /v "EncryptHeaders" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "Method" /t REG_SZ /d "LZMA" reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "Level" /t REG_DWORD /d 9 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "Dictionary" /t REG_DWORD /d 16777216 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "Order" /t REG_DWORD /d 64 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "BlockSize" /t REG_DWORD /d 32 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Compression\Options\7z" /f /v "NumThreads" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Options" /f /v "CascadedMenu" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Options" /f /v "ContextMenu" /t REG_DWORD /d 16151 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Options" /f /v "WorkDirType" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Options" /f /v "WorkDirPath" /t REG_SZ /d "" reg add "HKCU\Software\7-ZIP\Options" /f /v "TempRemovableOnly" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 reg add "HKU\.DEFAULT\SessionInformation" /f /v "ProgramCount" /t REG_DWORD /d 4 reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\7-ZIP" /f /ve /t REG_SZ /d "{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}" /f /ve /t REG_SZ /d "7-Zip Shell Extension" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}\InprocServer32" /f /ve /t REG_SZ /d "x:\windows\system32\7-zip.dll" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}\InprocServer32" /f /v "ThreadingModel" /t REG_SZ /d "Apartment" reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\7-ZIP" /f /ve /t REG_SZ /d "{23170F69-40C1-278A-1000-000100020000}" etc...
My method is using a .bat file. This changes default settings. Example below:Code:Regedit /s "C:\Path to\ the folder\With\ELEVATED CMD TO DRIVE -ADD.reg Regedit /s "C:\Path to\ the folder\With\ELEVATED CMD TO FOLDER -ADD.reg" Regedit /s "C:\Path to\ the folder\With\ELEVATED CMD TO PUTER -ADD.reg"
