Key / value Description Use? DynamicScrollbars = 00000000Windows 10 hides scrollbars automatically and it can be difficult to make them appear when needed. This will enable them always. AutoEndTasks = 1Windows normally displays an “force shut down” button after the number of seconds expires, asking for your permission to close any running applications. If you enable this option, Windows will instead automatically close any applications and shut down without your input. CaretTimeout = 7FFFFFFFMake the cursor keep blinking always. ForegroundFlashCount = 00000001Flash only once instead of 7 times. MenuShowDelay = 5Speed up most menus in Windows (recommended).

Start_PowerButtonAction = 00000002Set "shut down" as default action when pressing Alt-F4 LowRiskFileTypes = .exe .rar .7z .txt .html .gif .png .jpg .jpeg .avi .mpg .mpeg .flac .mp4 .mkv .mp3 .pls .m3u .wav Tired of Windows telling you that network drives are unsafe locations?

WaitToKillServiceTimeout = 20000Determines how long the system waits for services to stop after notifying the service that the system is shutting down. This entry is used only when the user issues a shut-down command.
When the value of this entry expires, the system notifies the user that the service has not stopped. The user can either force the service task to stop or continue to wait. If the user waits, this value specifies the interval between repeated user notices that the service has not stopped.
If all services stop before this value expires, the system shuts down; it does not wait for this value to expire. LongPathsEnabled = 00000001Enable long paths. Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, MAX_PATH limitations have been removed from many common Win32 file and directory functions. However, your app must opt-in to the new behavior.
