Ok I have taken all the registry files and loaded them into one file. here
is what i came up with. I'll probably add some more that I didn't see there
as I go, but here is what I have so far.

REGEDIT4
;Tune or disable Dr. Watson. Dr. Watson can be helpful to a developer for
troubleshooting
;applications, but untouched in a WTS environment it can wreak havoc.
;At least make sure that the HomeDrive/RootDrive process is working
;smoothly, and that the 'drwatson.cmd' application compatibility script has
been ran.
;Additionally, turn off 'Dump all Thread Contents' and 'Visual
Notification'.
;Optimally, disable Dr. Watson totally. You can clear this registry value
;OS: WTS or Win2K
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug]

;Disable logging of print events to the System log. By default NT logs all
;print events to the System Log. On an active server, this can fill your
;System Log quickly. Setting this registry key will disable this behavior.

;Set IgnoreLinkResolver entry to fix shortcuts resolving to UNC paths issue.
;Explorer stores not only a drive indicator (N:\Dir\App.exe) but a UNC

to restart
;after a shutdown, giving a 'system error 12'. Most likely cause- unanswered
printer

;KeepAlives in order to make the disconnect/reconnect mechanism work

;parameters in Windows, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article
;Q120642, or CTX708444: How to Set TCP Keep Alives so TCP/IP
;To ensure that a host server is quickly aware of dropped sessions, the

Well, the PIAB stuff includes reg hacks for a lot of it. You'd have to
combine them all in one, but it wouldn't be a big deal.
