Everything Else / Windows 7 - gpedit.msc

« on: April 06, 2014, 04:49:52 am »

I am running Windows7-Home-Premium which does not include
the Group Policy Editor.

I installed gpedit (dotmsc) following the instructions I found here:

Install gpedit.msc on Windows7HomePremium

Although the installation instruction works and gpedit (dotmsc) runs fine,
when I enable any of the settings they don't seem to work.

I only used Hide Specific Drives as an example here to demonstrate that although the setting is  Enabled ,
gpedit (dotmsc) does not seem to respond to setting changes as the drive icons are still visible in MyComputer !

See image below.

What might I be overlooking ?

Thanks In Advance.

Everything Else / Start / Search Box - DropDown List Of Previous Entries Tweak ?

« on: March 21, 2014, 05:58:17 pm »

Running Window 7 Home Premium - 64bit

Is there a tweak available to produce a selectable dropdown list of previous common entries.
For example:
Regedit.exe
config.sys
etc

It would save having to type the entries every time they are used?

Thanks In advance

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Addons To Delete Net Shares

« on: March 21, 2014, 04:32:50 am »

I found these commands then came across Advanced Tweaker
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Please advise with respect to deleting Net Shares.
I am aware of the do's and don't explanations throughout the internet
but I'm interested to know how rather than not know then I have a choice and means to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.

The below command prompt, command lines,  all work for me.

NET SHARE C$ /DELETE
NET SHARE D$ /DELETE
NET SHARE ADMIN$ /DELETE
NET SHARE IPC$ /DELETE
NET SHARE DFS$ /DELETE
NET SHARE COMCFG$ /DELETE

Then I came across Advanced Tweaker........ 
Running the  Advance Tweakers appropriate addons I am still left with  IPC$
The tweak to set DWORD 1 or 0 does change the registry, but does not disable / delete IPC$
as it still shows in the Computer / Manage / Shared Folders / Shares


Using NET SHARE IPC$ /DELETE at a prompt, deletes IPC$ until next reboot then IPC$ reappears.

I'd like to understand how to create a batch file / script and seek help to understand the correct
construction and syntax of such a file(s).

Would it be possible to execute all command simultaneously in a batch file
How would such a batch file be written for all of the below be written?

NET SHARE C$ /DELETE
NET SHARE D$ /DELETE
NET SHARE ADMIN$ /DELETE
NET SHARE IPC$ /DELETE
NET SHARE DFS$ /DELETE
NET SHARE COMCFG$ /DELETE


Any help and advise to get me started creating batch files / scripts would be very much appreciated.
What's a the difference between a batch file and script and when you'd use one in preference to the other?

Thank in advance.
