Change Visual Effects
Hi all,
I need to change Visual Effects settings, not using GUI (Advanced tab Settings Performance, Visual Effects) but through registry or another automatic method. Can it be done? I've found this ( http://www.jsifaq.com/SF/Tips/Tip.aspx?id=10021 ) but it just changes the V beside the settings in the GUI, but it doesn't actually change anything in Windows.

See... Table 5-1 Values in General here for UserPreferencesMask... http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/boo...pchap/6232.asp See also... UserPreferencesMask http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro....mspx?mfr=true Use common tasks in folders is also available here...
