    You can convert the .reg files over to one-liners and then add them to a batch file.

    This:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection]
    "AllowTelemetry"=dword:00000000
    Can become:

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
    And many of those can be added to a single batch file:

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" /v "AllowTelemetry" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkConnectivityStatusIndicator" /v "NoActiveProbe" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Biometrics\Credential Provider" /v "Enabled" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore" /v "RemoveWindowsStore" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "1" /f

    What about this:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.png\Shell\T3D Print][-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.jpg\Shell\T3D Print][-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.bmp\Shell\T3D Print]

    Hi Tiger-1

    i keep all media/document files in second hd, only OS in Cdrive ssd. Kinda pointless expanding "This PC" having libraries in navigation pane.

    hmm maybe you can simply redirect your files (media/documents etc?) to second hdd so you never lost nothing when something crash with O.S. is your intention?? if correct confirm please :)

    Advise me your meaning of "redirect". Yes like you said a crash-safe plan atho I image backup O.S & installed programs periodically then cdrive volume capacity is insufficient for media/documents.. etc

    @AJ79 Hi well I can explain again in more details:first off all when you make fresh install (don't matter if is used hdd or ssd) and system is prompted to install choose country and others things you need type shift+f10 this command permit access to prompt @administrator in there type: Diskpart, in Diskpart type select disk normaly is disk 0, after selected disk type clean after type convert gpt and finaly type exit and exit again done in sequence when Windows starts appear two options there upgrade or personal installation choose the second there Windows show that hdd or ssd NO have partitions for install so is prompted for allocate partition then you need observe that NO USE all space of hdd or ssd for example: your hdd/ssd have 250GB of capacity then you can allocate the value desired for 50GB for Windows (C:\)only and rest leave free ok then finaly Windows start installation normaly after system restart and all is installed you need open Control panel and open File Explorer Options in there make sure of tick show hidden folders etc, unclick Hide types of know files, and so on in sequence open Computer Management\Disk Management there you can observe that have space no allocated so you right clik on it and make one new simple volume so Windows again request which value you want allocate there you can allocate several partition as desired for example if you want allocate all free space simply click ok Windows can attrib letter for this unity for example D:\ done in sequence open File Explorer make sure of unclick minimize ribbon search for Users of course your name there Windows show all principals folders then now is the "little secret or trick" in folder Documents right click\search location\change location and obvious change for disk D:\ type apply when Windows prompt you again type apply again so you need make this for all folders Documents, Images, Musics and Videos ok in this manner now ALL files saved in this folders STAY EVER on disk D:\ therefore when Windows crash no problems simply start re-install again and observe the process now is different because you already make previous configuration of principal disk remember? in sequence of course re-install Windows on partition 4\format\refresh and when Windows is installed all your Documents, Images, Musics, Videos are UNTOUCHED and so for ever; I hope that you understand dude and good luck :)

    This is how I do all of my installs. I do a restore partition and put the image of C:\ on it for full recover without data loss. This should be the default way IMO.

    @t0mn8r yep well I work so long time and no issues, sometimes I think because M$ don't provide or explain this mode of install O.S. for all users :g:
