I've been trying to see if that default value is in that same registry key,
but I've been unsuccessful. I'll do some research on this.

You can't force it, but secondary servers will use the refresh value to
check the primary for zone updates, if the serial has incremented the
secondary will try a zone transfer.
As close as you can come to a force zone transfer is to use notify, but that
doesn't mean the secondary supports it. AFAIK, most DNS servers support
notify.
