Tweak for Security Center


Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm not sure what just happened with my other post.

I did a search for this topic but didn't find anything related to it. If I have missed an obvious faq about, I apologize ahead of time.

Is there a way to stop the stupid Security Center in SP2 from starting up without having to manually check the boxes in the "Change the way Security Center alerts me" link? Yes, I am working on an unattended XP dvd (if this is considered posted in the wrong forum, I apologize - however, I'm not asking for someone to show me how to incorporate this into my unattended install, I'm trying to see if such a tweak exists).

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Try these reg tweaks:

;Disable Security center
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"FirstRunDisabled"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001
"AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000001
"FirewallOverride"=dword:00000001
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

;Security Center
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc]
"Start"=dword:00000004
