Recovery Console Settings

Recommended Posts

I have been trying to find information on how to allow all paths, wildcards, and full write access to Windows 2000 Recovery Console or Windows XP Recovery Console.

Registry keys and values I have found that I believe may be relevant are:

At
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SeCEdit\Reg Values\MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Setup/RecoveryConsole/SetCommand
two DWORD values exist, "ValueType" and "DisplayType".

At
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
exists DWORD values "SecurityLevel" and "SetCommand".

Which values should be changed to allow all paths, wildcards, and full write access to Windows 2000 Recovery Console or Windows XP Recovery Console?

The operating systems of relevance are Windows 2000 family, Windows XP Professional, and the recovery consoles for both Windows 2000 family and Windows XP Professional.

Might it be under the heading `A script for doing the Registry edit` where it states `Click here to download setcommand.inf (zipped)`!
No. It is not there. Clicking the link yeilds a "The page cannot be displayed" page. Edited by Ascii2

Here:

After having set the "setcommand" to 1 you need to create the proper Environment Varaibles.

The given link also has a pre-made .inf file. ;)

The environmental variables do not seem to apply to Widows 2000 Recovery Console (I tested it). The "set" command, once enabled, however is able to set the variables to remove restrictions.

I would like to not have to type the "set" commands every time I want to use a locally installed Recovery Console unrestricted. I have tried using an "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file at the root of the bootable partition with the set commands, but it failed. Can this be done without using the floppy drive?

Hey Ascii2, you need some "fantasy" when navigating the internet.

The link:

http://commandwindows.com/files/setcommand.zip

does actually give a "Not Found" error.

Try removing the name of the file at the end:

http://commandwindows.com/files/

Sure enough it is an Open Directory where you can see a couple of files:

setcommand.inf

CmdHereAsAdmin.inf

Now, guess which one you want? ;)
