Windows 7 Enable ClearType CLI No UAC

Set keys and reg permissions

This will let a user alter Cleartype settings in Windows 7 (it will still prompt for UAC, but will work and values stay set)

• Below assumes setting on a remote machine, remove leading \\xxxxxxxx\ if doing locally.

reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY1" /t REG_DWORD /v GammaLevel /d 1800
reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY1" /t REG_DWORD /v PixelStructure /d 1

reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY2" /t REG_DWORD /v GammaLevel /d 1800
reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY2" /t REG_DWORD /v PixelStructure /d 1

SetACL.exe -on "\\xxxxxxxx\hklm\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:Everyone;p:full"

x64 ALSO add in Wow6432Node, as it writes to both places

reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY1" /t REG_DWORD /v GammaLevel /d 1800
reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY1" /t REG_DWORD /v PixelStructure /d 1

reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY2" /t REG_DWORD /v GammaLevel /d 1800
reg add "\\xxxxxxxx\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics\DISPLAY2" /t REG_DWORD /v PixelStructure /d 1

SetACL.exe -on "\\xxxxxxxx\hklm\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:Everyone;p:full"
