Hello,

with regards to the 2 classic view settings:
- changing the control panel view
- changing the folder views

Is there any way to set these with a reg hack or with a
command line utility (for easy deployment to a number of
machines), as opposed to manually configuring the
settings? We don't intend to use a GPO for these settings.

Please advise.

Thanks

Simon

Look through the forums at http://unattended.msfn.org/
Also look through the Registry Guide at http://www.winguides.com/
And look through some of Kelly's tweaks at http://www.kellys-korner.com/

For your control Panel query:
; Changes the display type of the Control Panel to the Classic View.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er]
"ForceClassicControlPanel"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebVie
w\BarricadedFolders]
"shell:ControlPanelFolder"=dword:00000000


Folder Views is a Current User setting.. So you can if you make a default
user profile from the one that applies this registry setting:

; Show Details and Status Bar
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Stream
s]
"Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,a
