I don't want to have to install Advanced Config, nor Diamond Tweak.

What registry edit can I use?

It doesn't actually adjust the scrollbar size, but it affects the size of the scrollbar none the less. Go to the following location and adjust the DWORDS listed,

[HKLM\System\GWE]
cxHScr = 20
cyHScr = 13
cxVScr = 13
cyVScr = 20

Now, what they do is control the size of the arrows used on the Horizontal and Vertical scrollbars.

cx = width
cy = height

The larger the arrow, the larger the scrollbar. So a higher number for cxVScr will make the vertical scrollbar wider to accommodate the new width size of the arrow button. Whereas a higher number for cyVScr will only make the scroll buttons taller.

Hope that makes sense.
