New Group Policy Settings For Windows 7

Microsoft have provided several documents detailing the usage of the latest group policy settings for a Server 2008r environment, with Windows7. Sadly they havent released a list of 'new' group policy settings for windows 7. I've been able to identify around 200, which I am listing below;

NOTE: These will only work with a server 2008r2 backend, and Windows 7 desktop. If your looking to roll out windows 7 after upgrading your DCs, these are the group policies you should be looking to apply, in addition to ones you are already using.
