I haven't found an easy way around this yet but I do know a way to get past it. What it does is exactly what it say's. Found this in 1st Security. Credit due We know that when you boot to Safe Mode it's unprotected or at least in XP Home version, I haven't checked in Pro yet so maybe someone can verify. Unless you boot to Safe Mode and set a password on Administrator account it's totally wide open. NOTICE: You will be blocked also unless you know how to get past it. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot] Export the entire Section. Make a backup copy and drop it in C:\ for now. Now ADD 2 entries in your export at the very beginning [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot] "DisableSafeMode1"="-Minimal" "DisableSafeMode2"="-Network" Edit your export and change all the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\-Minimal] Edit your export and change all the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\-Network] Now reboot and choose Safe Mode, rolls through the driver loading and reboots without ever entering Safe Mode.

The CurrentVersion\Explorer keys don't even change on me in my tampering with this. You also have to watch HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21- YOUR SID\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags and a couple others there. The all folders applied won't work without the "Mode"=dword:00000003 down there also. Its fruitless to try and achieve just a couple folders like your asking or next to impossible. They change in a weird way as i've noticed because I almost have it where I can get applied listview on all folders.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c @echo off&for /f "delims=" %? in ('cscript //nologo C:\WINDOWS\system32\GeTarget.vbs ""') do start "" explorer.exe /select, "%~?" I see it now from yours and wonder how that happen, I'm missing the double %% in two places. I copied your stuff and pasted in a cmd file instead of run. The double %% is in the cmd file. Strange Wanted it in a cmd file for my Unattends Works when I set it like yours manually. Maybe I better export that reg instead of cmd

I can't believe someone just finding that as I been using it for a very long time. Its all over the Net EX: http://www.google.com/search?as_q=Command+...ights=&safe=off and also included in MSFN - Registry Tweaks Part 3 You're missing one that will allow you to open on a file on desktop BTW, If you want add the same to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell

Don't work here, I see a cmd flash and nothing

Yzöwl Forgot i ever posted that in Unattended looks like prath forgot also

@dubbin Nice, but not quite, if its a link on the desktop then it simply open's desktop and shows the Target which points nowhere intended

Released that over 2 years ago in a BETA of my Tweak app but heres the reg stuff will do same thing and open it in Notepad. No, I discovered this elsewhere I only refined it better. Now you simply right click the folder and choose the Dir List I enclosed it in a REG_Expand_SZ so it will dynamically get the systemdrive Want to toy with it more? Open a command prompt on a folder and type Dir /? BTW sucks nowadays adding extra BS not needed so maybe this quote will do.

Ok then 'Arnold' Get Back then, btw congrats on the marriage, guess we now have to wait till the honeymoon is over

Reg entry don't exist for "Arrange" its a dll call so impossible that I know of. I've been getting close to saving all the settings for Explorer view's like 'List View' but not sure it would have that also.

1st one is present Speed Up browsing remote computers (Your Network) [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace\{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}] The other 2 are not there but I personally use the ;Changes Time Interval Between System Restore Points

Ok nice trick, I see your point, never done that before since I couldn't see what it was doing behind the scenes. I have stepped through the code in debug and never seen it getting the machine name. BUT So What, It still works 100% If I point to F:\ regardless on my machine it simply works and most the *BS* stuff replies here started was about there would be Time delays. But the same Microsoft built the resolve method in which Automatically fixes and in very fast time. Anyone need a sign yet? WARNING: If you're using a crappy computer then don't use my method, if not then try it, it works.

lizard1 I've read it but thats in C which i partially understand. I have the code in VB which I use and I know exactly what each thing does. My Point being that theres nothing machine specific about this, maybe in the old pifmgr day's but just not anymore. I stated in very first line of the very first post that this is for XP and not VM either, I run this same thing on my old 450 with XP as I do on my 1800 and have no delays, If it don't exist it pops the error dialog in a fraction of a second. I can't even blink that fast `Felix` interesting but I've used that for quite some time, its what I do to load the different hives for each user in my XPPolicy app to modify and set policies for each. A backdoor method I guess. If you don't want to use this then don't, GO elsewhere Its 1 method of doing it

No its not true, look at the link to the source code that creates them. You could also use shortcut.exe to do this for you.

@cumminbk NoNetCrawling - I have 7 different spots FriendlyTree = 'Disable Auto-Expanding Trees in Explorer FolderContentsInfoTip - 'Disable Folder Contents Info Tip

I believe there is but I haven't looked for it. Perhaps in the registry tweaks post in pinned topics. .lnkNo scripts, you're copying them to the correct location. As I explained above, nothing in a shortcut is proprietary to any machine. Link to code above proves that as I have been using similar code to do same thing for year's. As long as the PATH Is same then they will work.

Yep be good to have that file he getting it with, shooting blindly in the dark without it.

Usually indicates a Font Error. May not be so with this app but heres a link http://www.kb.techknow-how.com/exports/par...-234882545.html

Was just a thought on the name I guess we all holding our breath to see whats next.

Set permissions with Cacls, xcacls, or subinacl I won't provide examples cause thats a dangerous thing cause you can lock yourself out of it also. Been there done that and have mastered but on my own machine. Look those up on Google and get and read any Help you find.

That was discussed just recently so it can't be but 5-6 pages deep in here. I added it to my own or gave option if. Search for it.

WINNTBBU_msn.DLL Could the error be because of naming? I allways put in a separate dir and name it WINNTBBU.DLL to edit

I can see where network paths might not work cause I do know all about that from where I work. I also know that I have several shortcuts in my Windows\Desktop folder in my Network Share and they do work when I logon somewhere else. Thats on NT and 2000 PCs we have at work. Most those point to other drives within the network, its not like I'm starting an app on the C: drive of my primary workstation

Sorry about my lol but you said try it and it didn't fail for me. Another thing is I checked all the properties and it changed it on the other PC. So I go looking, http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ts/shortcut.asp We're talking very short time on today's faster computer's.I see nothing in that about a pointer to a specific PC. Only the path.

lolololol I done that and it takes maybe a millisecond to open Notepad either way, I don't notice any difference on XP. What are you running? NT, just a guess cause most Corps are still running that. We have a few 2000 and all time clocks and Office personnel have XP Pro. lol yes I remember those delays Back on a 486 50mhz SX running 3.1 WFW, nowadays we're talking milliseconds with XP. It grunts and wants to delete or it goes out and finds it in very short time. I'm not talking shortcuts to the Network or other computer's either by the way. My shortcuts are to applications installed to either %ProgramFiles%\APP I want A Quicklaunch or to another drive on my PC which remains the same since I'm formatting my C or D partition for my tests. These things work for Intended purposes. They also work for most the people who download and run my program that know what they are doing. I'm sorry Nois3 but I think that what you're saying is yesterday's news if you running XP.
