glitterglue Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hey Gosh - love your .inf guide (It's making our WinXP corporate image look real good). Quesiton: In your options.inf, you have the following:;Disable Shared Documents folder (Windows XP)HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","CheckedValue",0x00010001,1HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","DefaultValue",0x00010001,1HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","HKeyRoot",0x00010001,0x80000002HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","Type",0,"checkbox"HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","Text",0,"Disable Shared Documents folder"HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","UncheckedValue",0x00010001,0HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","ValueName",0,"NoSharedDocuments"HKLM,"%Advanced%\Folder\NoSharedDocs","RegPath",0,"%Policy%\Explorer"How is this different from these - aside from that one is current user and the other is local machine (or am I'm missing something big here)??HKCU,"%Policy%\Explorer","NoSharedDocuments",0x00010001,1 ;remove shared documents from my computerorHKLM,"%Explorer%\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}" ;remove shared documents from my computerFor those that don't know, the variable substitutions resolve as listed:Policy = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies"Explorer = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer"Advanced = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdeboeck Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 i think gosh's reg adds it to the folder options menu , while your key just removes the 'feature'nicely done gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Those 3 registry keys all will disable the shared documents folder. Options.inf just adds some new settings to folder options. Since the only way to disable shared documents in the GUI is tweakui (maybe gpedit.msc for pro), i added it to folder options so users can easily enable/disable it. The policy is the preferred way to disable the shared docs folder, since most people know about the policy, but not as many know about the delegatefolders one.When i was making options.inf i just went to winguides.com and looked for anything that interested me. I copied the descriptions into the .inf to keep it organised.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
