How come these registry and winnt.sif settings doesn't work?

[Sgt_Strider]

I have the following entries in my winnt.sif file:

[WindowsFirewall]

Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall

[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall]

Mode = 0

The thing is that everything else in the winnt.sif were applied and yet the Windows Security Center icon is still in the taskbar.

For the registry, I can't seem to disable the screensaver and make sure that in the power setup menu, everything stays on regardless of how long the computer remained idle. I used the following entries:

; Disable screensavers

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=""

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=""

To sum it all up again, can someone tell me how to disable the Windows Security Center, the screensaver, and turn off all power saving features? Thanks!

That only disables windows firewall, to get rid of that Windows Security Center icon u need to disable the Security Center service as well.

Dont know about the screensaver though.

You need to disable the Security Center service.

Here is a reg to disable the screensaver:

================================

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"PowerOffActive"="0"

"PowerOffTimeOut"="0"

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"=-

=================================

You have to delete the SCRNSAVE.EXE key.

Power options is a little tricky and I have never given the time to figure it out. I know the registry keys that control the settings:

HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\

HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy\Policies

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls Folder\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy\Policies

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Power\AcPolicy

HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Power\DcPolicy

HKCU\Control Panel\PowerCfg\CurrentPowerPolicy
