Someone finally figured it out – Great work! I was considering writing a shell hook to do the same (like Ave’s tool for Vista), thinking there weren’t any registry keys that would let me do it.

Once again, brilliant work!

Merely restarting Explorer is enough, logoff isn’t necessary. I knew about the Vista trick but didn’t know about the Windows 7 since the registry keys and values are totally different? How do you discover these reg values? Registry monitoring? Can you explain what the other registry values are for?
