Hello,
I am preparing DF for a massive deployment for my firm and there are some settings that we would like to set by group policy.
Some of these settings include:
--Function Buttons
--Wallpaper
--Windows Logon Image
I have searched through the registry and located the necessary keys for these setting. My concern is with the Function Buttons. It appears that there is a unique identifier for each function that changes on every install. Andexample of this key is HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Hotkeys\HotKey_PrevMonitor_ID.
I imagine that I can pick a value and push it out and it should function correctly, unless another function happens to get that value, but is this best practice? What is the best way to push out setting like this in mass?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Keith,
We have managed to make quite a bit of progress with this so far. We have all of the setting being pushed out that we want to be there and restrictions in place where applicable.
One problem still remains. We have pushed out the WindowsLogonEnabled and WindowsLogonImage keys in order to set the login screen background. The problem is, the windows login setting do not seem to apply unless you open the settings, navigate to the Windows Logon section and manually hit apply.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Awesome, glad to hear it! DisplayFusion doesn't automatically apply the Windows Logon settings on startup because it causes Windows to show a UAC prompt when changing, so you'd see a UAC prompt every time the user logs in, with no explanation as to why.
If you're setting a standard Windows Logon background, could you just use Group Policy instead?
