jfmartel Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Hello!I have a question, i've done a lot a search on this, and a lot a try.I would like to know if someone has ever tweaked the "Display Properties" in the way that "Fade Effect" = DisableAnd Smooth Edge = NormalI know there is a key in HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop then UserPreferencesMaskI know this setting is saved as HEX.On this site found while googling -->UserPreferencesMask They talked about this tweak. Seems that this tweak has to be edited in BINARY then ocnverted to HEX.Ok this part i got it.Now the part that i dont understand. I've set everything i wanted, exported my setting. So now, default user --> UserPreferencesMask=hex=30,20,05,80The trick is, if a user logs on, those setting are overwriten with 3e,2c,05,80 Anyone has a clue on this one?Thank you for your help! This board rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 u need 2 apply them 2 all users, not just current user , apply them to default user too! or just import them during your unattended install @ T-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
