Client policy and registry key for Lync 2010

$

I found there were a lot of questions related with registry key for Lync option items and client policies. But the information scattered and were not completed. Then I decided to do this job for the convenience.

The content is not totally completed. I appreciate if someone can supplement.

The Lync client used in my lab is Lync 2010, version: 4.0.7577.4103

Before to read the content, note that when some items are both controlled by Registry Key and Lync Client Policy, client policy setting take precedence over registry setting.

The registry key is applicable to HKLM and HKCU, but I only show the HKCU here.
