Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Disables WebDAV file locking globally. Useful when staff users have
; only "read" rights on customer folders: Office/editors stop trying
; to LOCK the file before opening (which would 403 and trigger the
; "file does not exist, create new?" dialog). Read-only viewing then
; works without the artificial wait.
;
; Trade-off: collaborative editing scenarios cannot rely on WebDAV
; locks anymore. For pure download/view workflows this is fine.
;
; Rechtsklick -> "Zusammenführen" (als Administrator), dann
; den WebClient-Dienst neu starten:
;     net stop WebClient && net start WebClient

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters]
