This turns on the 3D vision checkbox (.bat). Feel free to integrate.
Added Shinra358's auto-enable code to the batch file, so you don't have to do the medical test, nor set the check box to enable. Thanks for that addition.
I edited the first post of the thread, it is fully up to date. Some sort of character limit on posts, maybe 3000.
This should work on both x64 and x86, please let me know if it doesn't.

Yeah, and the character limit for creating a post is smaller than the one for editing one. Because of this you often can't edit your own posts unless you shorten them. Because I tend to be verbose, I come across this all the time. It's annoying.
Thanks for continually improving this, btw. I use your BAT and it's a breath of fresh air!

Can I make another recommendation?
By default, set the quality to maximum and set it to take PNG screenshots instead of JPEGs. PNG's are lossless so you'll end up with perfect quality 3D screenshots instead of the compressed and artifacted JPEG versions.
This is the code I use for it in my BAT file.

@Alo81, that's not a bad idea, but I think the JPEG is a more universal choice. The PNG are lossless, but also tend to bump the file sizes, which makes them harder to manage. I just wanted them to not be obviously damaged at the 50% level. If other people prefer PNG I'll be happy to switch it.
@TsaebehT: Could add that, but I personally don't actually care if it hits the registry every time. It's just a few writes to known keys. I prefer to keep the scripts as simple as I can, because there is so much variance in terms of computers.
And in any case, that's why I'm providing the source, so people can modify theirs to suit their needs.

This has always been my philosophy on it - if you start lossless you can always easily compress it later if space becomes an issue (though for most people now a days, storage is rarely a huge issue in terms of 3-4mb images) and you have a perfect image representation to work with if need be.
If you start with a compressed image you're stuck with it and there's nothing you can do about it to improve it.
I guess my thoughts are it's better to have the perfect example and the option to compress than to have the compressed and no option to have the perfect back.
For example, you can save a (nearly) lossless JPEG version of a PNG that looks almost identical to it in terms of image quality, but is usually around half the file size.
[url=http://hiresreset.tumblr.com/post/53461781829/how-to-save-images-as-high-quality-jpegs-and-why-you]I actually wrote up a little tutorial/test I did to compare maximum quality Photoshop JPEGs to lossless PNG's[/url] and the results are pretty damned close. The tutorial on the bottom is for how to do it and it shows the size difference you're afforded by using it.

I just got a new machine and the batch file for this subject doesn't work that well anymore like it did in my other machine. I can now only get this process to work by adding the .reg directly through regedit. On an admin account, it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm also on windows 7 ultimate now. Anybody know what's going on?

[/quote]I understand the philosophy, but I take a slightly different tack in that it depends upon the images. These are typically game images with low to zero value, so it's not worth a lot of space/time for me. I need it to not be damaged, but these are not archival images.
Also, the key metric I care about is bandwidth, not disk space. When I'm sharing these, they all come off my server, or someones server, and the limits are far more strict.
Lastly, I don't want to have to convert, ever. It's already a pain in the butt to share 3D images, and I need to make it as easy as I can to encourage myself to share them.
So, for me personally, it's just easier to set it at JPEG 85 and be done with it.

x64. There isn't one. The registry just doesn't get changed through the .bat as well as it did on the other machine. Weird because it worked just fine on my other laptop. And I hadn't installed much of anything else on the new laptop yet.

I guess my thoughts are it's better to have the perfect example and the option to compress than to have the compressed and no option to have the perfect back.
For example, you can save a (nearly) lossless JPEG version of a PNG that looks almost identical to it in terms of image quality, but is usually around half the file size.
I actually wrote up a little tutorial/test I did to compare maximum quality Photoshop JPEGs to lossless PNG's and the results are pretty damned close. The tutorial on the bottom is for how to do it and it shows the size difference you're afforded by using it.

It's working for me on x64, admin or non.

Also, the key metric I care about is bandwidth, not disk space. When I'm sharing these, they all come off my server, or someones server, and the limits are far more strict.
Lastly, I don't want to have to convert, ever. It's already a pain in the butt to share 3D images, and I need to make it as easy as I can to encourage myself to share them.
So, for me personally, it's just easier to set it at JPEG 85 and be done with it.

x64. There isn't one. The registry just doesn't get changed through the .bat as well as it did on the other machine. Weird because it worked just fine on my other laptop. And I hadn't installed much of anything else on the new laptop yet.
