Post subject: manual edits for Registry
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsnt>registry (more info?)

Hi All,

I'd like to write my own program to manually edit the Registry to configure a
computer with my personal preferences. Typically, it takes me 15-30 minutes to
configure the settings in Windows manually.

For example, I'd like to set the Keyboard delay to zero.....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
KeyboardDelay, REG_SZ, 0

....and set the mouse cursors to animated defaults...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors
AppStarting, REG_EXPAND_SZ, %SYSTEMROOT%\Cursors\appstart.ani
Wait, REG_EXPAND_SZ, %SYSTEMROOT%\Cursors\hourglas.ani

....and set the Performance Options to a custom selection of items like Smooth
Fonts, Show Contents While Dragging, and Show Common Tasks...

....and set Windows System Failure to not Automatically Restart...

....and set the Start Menu for Number of Programs on Start Menu = 0, not Open
Submenus, not Highligh newly installed programs, etc.

Is there any document out there which details the corresponding Registry keys
for Windows environment settings such as these?

Many thanks!

Rob
