Device Manager - right click My Computer

[Bigbrit]

OK. I have searched and tried several "Device Manager with right click on My Computer" and always get errors.

I seems only Nlite 1.3 works. Please tell me the REG entries to use so I can add it to my Registry.

Please.

Again, a tribute to your programming, yours works, their's doesn't.

HKCR,"CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr","",0x00020000,"@%SystemRoot%\system32\devmgr.dll,-4"

HKCR,"CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr","SuppressionPolicy",0x00010001,1073741884

HKCR,"CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr\command","",0x00020000,"%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe /s %SystemRoot%\system32\devmgmt.msc"

I think that r3incarnat0r gave it to me, before wasn't localized.

Here is a reg file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr]

  00,6d,00,73,00,63,00,00,00

I hope this meets your expectations!

I had problems finding a working solution for this as well. The two posts before mine are probably better than this method, but this works for me:

reg add "HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Device Manager\command" /VE /T REG_EXPAND_SZ /D "%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe /s %SystemRoot%\system32\DevMgmt.msc" /F

This isn't my code. I don't recall where I got it.

@ TAiN that can be improved:

?.cmd

[Version]
Signature	= $Windows NT$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg		= Reg.Settings

[Reg.Settings]
HKCU,%MYCOMP%\DevMgr,,0x20000,"@%SystemRoot%\system32\devmgr.dll,-5"
HKCU,%MYCOMP%\DevMgr\command,,0x20000,"mmc /s %SystemRoot%\system32\devmgmt.msc"

[Strings]
MYCOMP		= "Software\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell"

Thank you all for replying. I will try them on my test rig later in the day.

My wife let me build a new test system (Christmas present) -- SWEET

GigaByte GA-M51GM-S2G MB -- Athlon X2 64 Dual Core

Gig DDR2/677 -- 160 Hitachi SATAII

Better than my main rig, need to go Core Duo 2 on that one, when finances allow.

Thanks again

@Yzöwl: Nicely done, as usual

@Bigbrit: You will probably have the best luck with the code that Yzöwl posted. His stuff always works

I did not try the others, but I can attest that Yzöwl's .CMD file works just fine.
