VDI Optimizations -- Need help identifying a few Reg Keys (Win10 20H2)

Greetings all,

I'm working on optimizing my org's VDI environment and was looking at suggested settings from Microsoft here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...endations-2004

There are a couple registry tweaks that are listed and I couldn't find any information regarding what the actual registry change does for the following registry key names:

ShellState HKLM\Temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
ShowCompColor HKLM\Temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In the document, it advises to set ShellState to 240000003C2800000000000000000000
and ShowCompColor to 1

Would anyone know what these key names pertain to and what the suggested tweak would change?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

Did you follow the preceding step in the doct?
Solution

To fix this problem take the following steps:

1. Uninstall ShadowProtect
2. Remove the registry key:
   [table][tr][td]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Providers\{24602736-bed9-4619-91b0-243447c6409c}.[/td] [/tr] [/table]
   
3. Restart Windows.

Have you then merged the reg file, then restarted?

 

Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10  


Without changing the owner and permissions of the keys in steps 1 and 2, the .reg files will not be able to fully merge, and those keys will not be changed. Those keys are responsible for the folders showing in the navigation pane if you open the folder pinned to Quick access or Start list.
