To answer your question:
On NT/2000 (Q120620,
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q120/6/42.asp)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<adapter
name>\Parameters\Tcpip
Create a REG_DWORD called 'MTU' with the value of the MTU.
Create a REG_DWORD called 'RouterMTU' with the MTU for non local packets.
On 9x/Me (Q158474
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q158/4/74.asp)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\netTrans\<binding
number>
Create a REG_SZ (string) called 'MaxMTU' with the value of the MTU.
Naturally, the resultant MTU for both the above systems will be the minimum
of the discoverd MTU (using path MTU discovery) and the MTU specified.
