Windows 7 Tuning Registry Keys


I found the following bunch of keys on a article i read. I have not had time to test if these work as expected, or if they also work in Server 2008.
The timeout ones for applications look handy as shutdowns on Win7 and Server 2008 do seem to be slower than prior operating systems.


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001
"LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=dword:00000001
"NoResolveSearch"=dword:00000001
"NoResolveTrack"=dword:00000001
"NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"
"HungAppTimeout"="1000"
"MenuShowDelay"="0"
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000"
"LowLevelHooksTimeout"="1000"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"
"HungAppTimeout"="1000"
"MenuShowDelay"="0"
"WaitToKillAppTimeout"="2000"


NoLowDiskSpaceChecks = Low Disk Notification
deactivated

LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo = Determines whether Windows traces shortcuts back
to their sources when it cannot find the target on the user's system.

NoResolveSearch = Prevents the system from conducting a comprehensive search
of the target drive to resolve a shortcut.

NoResolveTrack = Prevents the system from using NTFS tracking features to
resolve a shortcut.

NoInternetOpenWith = Specifies whether to use the Microsoft Web service
for finding an application to open a file with an unhandled file association.

AutoEndTasks = Specifies whether user processes end automatically when
the user either logs off or shuts down Windows .

HungAppTimeout = Specifies how long the system waits for user
processes to end after the user clicks the End Task command button in
Task Manager.

MenuShowDelay = Specifies the interval from the time the cursor is
pointed at a menu until the menu items are displayed.

WaitToKillAppTimeout = Specifies how long the system waits for user
processes to end after the user attempts to log off or to shut down
Windows. When the time specified in this entry expires, the End
Task dialog box appears, stating that the process did not respond.
If the value of AutoEndTasks is 1, the system ends the process
automatically.

LowLevelHooksTimeout = This tweak changes the time to wait to kill
a service, which is not responding

WaitToKillServiceTimeout = Determines how long the system waits
for services to stop after notifying the service that the system is
shutting down.
