Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop Animate controls and elements inside windows Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing Change dword:00000000 to dword:00000001 to enable the appropriate option If you modify the settings below with the appropriate dword value, you can set the default Visual Effects settings for every user that gets created. Here are the registry keys where Windows gets the Visual Effects settings when a user profile is created. I have verified the settings work, if I apply them to a specific user's profile they are all applied.ĭoes anyone have an idea how I can get this to work? These are the full settings I am applying… My guess is that Windows sets some of those settings as the profile is created, based on the computer's performance index. Not so, some of the settings carry though, but many get reset. I figured, cool, all I need to do is load the settings I want into the default user registry so it is applied as new users are created. Each checkbox on that screen has a corresponding registry value, I have found them all. For example, I want to disable "show window contents while dragging." The registry key is HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\DragFullWindows=0.
The settings I am talking about can be found Computer / Properties / Advanced system settings / Advanced / Performance settings / Visual Effects.
I need to tweak the Windows visual effects to improve screen update performance over slow connections. I am setting up a master image to be used for VDI desktops.
