Mocht4R Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Is there a way to disable my computer through registry or program and vise versa. So i need to enable and disable. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Remove its CLSID from the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. On my system it's named 20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D. Better to export that key first before deleting it, so that it's possible to restore if it doesn't work as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocht4R Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok, but how would you enable it. My Computer on my desktop isn't working, so i need to know how to enable it.Also, my recycle bin doesn't open, any suggestions. Registry editing is what i am looking for, so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

second Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 As LLXX said, you should open regedit, then (very important) export the regkey, then remove only that regkey.You can export it by selecting the key (with a folder icon), then go to menu File and choose Export Registry File.If you want to enable the My Computer icon back later, you should import that regkey again into your registry by doubleclicking the file.

Mocht4R Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Can you tell me all the strings, and values of the strings that are supposed to be in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}. Because i think i might be missing a few of the strings, or the values have been tweaked. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mocht4R Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) My HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}is exactly the same as yours, but my computer doesn't open, either does recycle bin. Is there _anything_ else that i could do? Edited February 7, 2006 by bms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
