How to see actual registry path for each tweak in Settings section?

There's no single list that maps every Settings tweak to the Registry. But if you look in your preset XML file, the tweak's name will be partial match for a well known reg setting that you can search online.
For example:
Search online for "reg add Advanced\HideMergeConflicts" -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced/HideMergeConflicts
For example:
Code:
<Tweak name="Advanced\HideMergeConflicts">0</Tweak>Search online for "reg add Advanced\HideMergeConflicts" -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced/HideMergeConflicts
Hi, Garlin. Another method to see that? like from NTLite Logs (if NTLite have)

NTLite does not have this type of log
Thank you for the response. I already tried searching online for the tweak names but couldn't find the exact registry paths for these specific ones:
<TweakGroup name="Explorer">
<Tweak name=".jpg\PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Tiff">PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Tiff</Tweak>
<TweakGroup name="Privacy">
<Tweak name="AppSettings\Skype-UserConsentAccepted">0</Tweak>
<Tweak name="AppCompat\DisablePCA">1</Tweak>
<Tweak name="Packages\InstallLocation">0</Tweak>
<Tweak name="FlipAhead\FPEnabled">0</Tweak>
<Tweak name="MicrosoftEdge\PhishingFilter\Enabledv9">0</Tweak>
<TweakGroup name="StartTweaks">
<Tweak name="Start\HideFrequentlyUsedApps">1</Tweak>
I also tried searching in regedit using Ctrl+F but these keys don't exist on my current machine. Could anyone provide the exact HKCU/HKLM path for each of these?
Thank you.
This one is a trick. It's a placeholder for a well known set of reg keys for restoring the legacy Photo Viewer file associations.
You can find it online using those words.
A number of these you can find online. I just did.
You will not have all optional reg keys on a live system, if that setting has never been changed and you're using the Windows default. Not every Windows customization setting is pre-defined in the registry.
NTLite is a proprietary or closed-source app. The dev doesn't have a responsibility to share what all the reg settings are in real life. All of the customizations are already known to the Internet, but someone had to work in adding them to the Settings screen. Having a public list would be one less incentive to install NTLite as a product.
If you prefer to manage tweaks using a list of reg add commands or reg files, you can import them in your image as:
- imported reg file in the Registry screen
- imported reg file in the Post-Setup screen (if they must be applied after Windows has been installed)
- reg commands (or a batch file) added in Post-Setup
