reg_multi_sz cmd help


Recommended Posts


It's only an idea, but what about just sticking the cmd somewhere safe and setting the Task Scheduler to run it automatically perhaps once a month maybe a couple of days after MS patch day.

indeed. If she is one of those people that clutter their desktop, put the file in %systemroot%\system32 or somethign where she wouldn't go.

Then it'd just be as simple as either using the Task Scheduler, or adding a rightclick entry to My Computer, that then executes the CMD file

You could then change the cmd file to something like this:

cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
sc config BITS start= auto
sc config wuauserv start= auto
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoWindowsUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v UpdateOff /d "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoWindowsUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f" /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v BITSOff /d "SystemRoot\system32\SC.exe config BITS= demand" /f
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v WAUOff /d "SystemRoot\system32\SC.exe config wuauserv start= demand" /f
start http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v5consumer/default.aspx?ln=en-us
exit

I could be wrong...but I don't think you need to configure the services startup options, you only need to start them.

Once the updates have been implemented, the computer just wants a reboot, to put it back how it was. Your mother only has to use the website, and reboot.

<EDIT> see below </EDIT>

<EDIT2> You can see the general idea though, you can run the command file out of the way of your mother and it will basically even go to the web site (yours may be a different address). As it is all you will probably have is a open cmd window until manually closed or the PC reboots </EDIT2>
