Title: Need Help with Registry Editing
Post by: udfxrookie on August 23, 2007, 09:25:29 AM

The following is a .reg file I created to semi-secure my local computers from inside users... the only one that worked was the last regedit to disable the start button. Can you review this and tell me what I'm doing wrong so I can correct it and use this.

Here's the file:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Disable Control Panel
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoControlPanel"=dword:1


;Disable Right Click
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"NoViewContextMenu"=dword:1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"NoViewContextMenu"=dword:1



;Remove My Computer From Desktop (No Desktop Items)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
"NoDesktop"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
NonEnum]
"NoDesktop"=dword:1


;Disable Recycle Bin Properties
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"NoPropertiesRecycleBin"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
"NoPropertiesRecycleBin"=dword:1


;Disable Start Button
;Delete Previous Entry

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972}]

;Re-create with new name

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{-5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972}]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972}]
"Menu Band"=reg_sz

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{5b4dae26-b807-11d0-9815-00c04fd91972}\InProcServer32
""=reg_expand_sz:%SystemRoot%\system32\browseui.dll

"ThreadingModel"=reg_sz:Apartment

I see you also posted this in BestTechie.net forums...

I wonder which one will prove the best forum?

When you say that only one key "worked", what did you mean? Were the other ones not imported? Have you tried them one by one?
