When this reg is applied @ T-12min it's in the registry and when the first account is loging all are set correctly, no problems for that

But, now I would like to set again this tweak but on an account already created/used ... so I know it exist a Rundll/rundll32 command to apply the regkey ...\VisualEffects\xxx\DefaultValue ...

Anyone remember what's the command ?

I have search on the forum but the topic are too old I think

Thanks.

Goodbye.

Anyone can rememeber the rundll command ?

I don't know the name of the command, but try using a program called "SetVisualEffects" by smc1979. It's easy to use and does exactly the thing you want to do. Give it a go.

Good Luck!
