Lists

List environments like itemize can be customized.

\setlength{\itemsep}{0mm}
\item ITEM1
\item ITEM2
\end{itemize}

All available lengths

Whenever a new application is being installed, this must be done in install mode for Windows to monitor write operations affecting HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Switching between install and execute mode is performed by change user as described in MS KB 186504 - Terminal Server Commands: CHANGE. All changes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER are then shadowed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install, hence the name shadow keys. These keys are copied to a user’s HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive during logon.
