Enable/disable ClearType in Windows7

Question

Hi I need to enable/disable Cleartype (or "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows > Smooth edges of screen fonts") via cmd (or any script like VBS/JS) or from registry without log off or windows restart.

May be it's possible enable ClearType only for one application

Thanks

Answer 1

make file with extention .reg this is registry for files

Disable_Smooth_edges_of_screen_fonts

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="0"

Enable_Smooth_edges_of_screen_fonts

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FontSmoothing"="2"

you can also do this vis cmd here is syntax for command

REG ADD KeyName [/v ValueName | /ve] [/t Type] [/s Separator] [/d Data] [/f]

you must logoff to have effect that you changed

Answer 2

I'm not sure how to do it without Rebooting...

But i found that changing the FontSmoothing keys was simply not enough...
