Hello Shawn

I've been doing a bit of work with variants of your .REG files for this Desktop Background change prevention feature and find:
1) the HKLM setting, by itself, will (not surprisingly)...

Hello Shawn

The sequence of screens I see on our PCs after power-on / WoL is:

BIOS screen showing manufacturer and other details, displayed briefly
Windows symbol in cyan on a dark...

No, sorry - my wrong terminology!
I meant the 'pretty picture' screen which Windows displays almost immediately after starting - the one which gives all the accounts at bottom-left after you press...

Hello Shawn

I haven't been able to find a timeout which would cause a newly-powered-on PC to display the 'splash screen' (which appears to be the same as the Lock Screen) for just a set period of...

Hello Shawn

Please could you tell me why, if I want to "Prevent Changing Desktop Background" for all users using the regedit value NoChangingWallPaper, it is necessary to specify the HKCU value as...

In Device Manager -> Sound, video and games controllers -> Realtek high definition audio -> Properties -> Details tab
I have both

Yes, you've found exactly what I've got. I've tried a couple of things to delete the .CPL entry, but have temporarily given up. Thanks for your efforts!

Thank you - but I don't have this task!

@dalchina: yes, I already used both those tools not to find what I was looking for! More investigation reqd on my part.

is what appears in Device Manager at present.

@erpster4: yes, I read that old post too, but you'll have noticed that I gave the only path on my PC for the SRS Labs software in an...

Thanks to you both.

I strongly suspect that this SRS Labs package is part of an update for the Realtek audio chip in my PC, installed by the update from Windows 10 1809 to 1903 which I did...

This PC is, in fact, an HP Elite 8300 which I've had for nearly a year, and it came with v1803, I suspect.
I would have noticed the blue icon on the task bar quite some time ago, I think, if it had...

Windows 10 Pro v1903

I have suddenly found an entry in Control Panel and a taskbar icon both relating to "SRS Audio Control Panel".
I have no idea how the software got to be installed, and I...

Thanks - that works fine!

jimbo: unfortunately, the first line of my original post indicated that my question refers to an MBR disk. No EFI anywhere, thank goodness!

Will try that on Monday, when I'm back at work!

Thanks you for the interesting links.

With youthful (well, geriatric) enthusiasm I deleted the "Recovery Image" partition, which I determined to be empty by assigning it a drive letter, and got...

Thank you very much!

Is there any straightforward way to move the small "Recovery partition" to the end of the disk,
or to delete it, define a dummy partition leaving enough free space at the...

v1903 installed on a ~256GB MBR disk.

C:\Recovery [folder] 4.86 GB used

Thanks again!

I don't think removing the "Inactive Fonts" registry value would cause the deletion of <all_the_inactive_fonts>.ttf files?
My suggestion was to remove the unwanted ttf files so that there was no...

Thank you very much!
Rather more messy than I'd hoped, since HKCU and not HKLM.
But then again, Option One would need to be applied in each account.
I don't suppose you'd advise the deletion of...

Hi Shawn

Is there a registry setting which could implement Option 1, to "Hide Fonts based on Language Settings", please?
This would be useful when applying this option to a number of PCs...

Hello Shawn

Reporting back...
During a lengthy telephone conversation with a techie from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC), I was told that it was notpossible:

Thanks - I learnt something! I didn't realise that the free version of Reflect was also allowable for commercial use!
