Hey. I was just wondering if there is a way to set the Visual Performance Settings through either the Registry or the Command Prompt?

What I mean by Visual Performance Settings is like the settings that you can choose to turn on or off Aero Peek, Aero Shake etc..

If there is no a way to do one of these ways, is there a different way that it can be done without actually using the dialog that you are suppose to use?

What I am trying to do is create my own Custom Windows 7 Installation Disk, but I am having a few problems. Thought this place would be the best place to get help.

Thanks.

I think I figured this out, so correct me if I am right.

I have this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects]
"VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003

Set to what it is at now.

And the rest if I want it off I use:
00000002
and if I want it on I use:
00000001
Did I get that right?
