"Adjust for best performance" setting

[CyberTron123]

Hi everyone!

I wanna change the users "Adjust for best performance" setting. This isn't something you can set to the registry (i've tried but not got it to work on anything but a new user, this doesn't apply for old users! )

Does anyone have a program or know of a way to make this happen? My users are not computer friendly and therefor I can not ask them to go into controlpanel and click the buttons, I have to make it for them! I could perhaps have  a little program on their desktop that they should click on or put it in autostart but I cannot find such a program...any ideas?

You should investigate AD Group Policys and how to apply these to the users/computers. This is not specific to VMware View so you should be able to find plenty of info on the subject on the intertubes.

for XP and Vista use this registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\VisualFXSetting

Value

0 = Let Windows choose what's best for my computer.

1 = Adjust for best appearance.

2 = Adjust for best performance.

set the value to 2.

for Windows 7

[HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop]
;Show window contents while dragging (0=off 1=on)
"DragFullWindows"="1"
;Smooth edges of screen fonts (0=off 2=on)
"FontSmoothing"="2"
;Smooth scroll list boxes
;Slide open combo boxes
;Fade or slide menus into view
;Show shadows under mouse pointer
;Fade or slide tooltips into view
;Fade out menu items after clicking
;Show shadows under menus
;(All off = 90,12,01,80   All on = 9e,3e,05,80)
"UserPreferencesMask"=hex:9e,3e,05,80
