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.

Hey fimble,

As a GPO nut, this is new to me. Can you post more info on how you write these tweaks, or PM? Thanks! :)

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
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...

Any specific ones you are looking for?

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"
