What registry entries should be changed upon a fresh installation of windows?
I used to work at Best Buy tech bench (pre Geek Squad, either way glad to be done there) and we had a great little batch file which tweaked registry entries for all new computers. I have lost this batch file, and am trying to compile a list to make another. Please help!
