Trying to turn off the Password protected sharing via command line and having no luck at all.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
Password protected sharing = Off
I have looked at netsh advfirewall firewall
And only been able to configure the option for Turn on file and printer sharing.
No registry or command i have seen online can alter this setting, The only placed i have not fully explored is group polices.
PC's come in to be setup, we use a default set of look & feel with a number of settings changed. It would of been nice to have have the one Bat file configure all. But this is the only stumbling block i have hit.
Windows 7 (POS Ready)
I have seen a similar post on here: How do you pro grammatically Turn Password Protected Sharing on/off in Windows 7
Unfortunately this has not worked for me.
After a long time researching for myself I discovered that as long as you run the command prompt window with admin access the following works:
reg add Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v everyoneincludesanonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters /v restrictnullsessaccess /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
And then you will have to restart your computer (which you can do with shutdown /r).

i want to automate something, but it only works if i manually accept the uac window, so i tried to change the registry value with this commads:
c:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k c:\Windows\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
But it only works if i run the cmd as administrator. So again i need to accept the uac window to deactivate the uac windows...
Is there a good way to make this with a script ore something like that, or is there a bypass solution? (for automation puroses)
If you want to modify a registry hive without administrative privileges, you have to do it offline1.
To do so, you can boot into WinRE and then use regedit to modify your hives offline. You can also remove your hard disk and put it into another computer where you have administrative privileges and modify it there.
You can find an example here.
1 Offline in this case means, the hives are not mounted. Or in other words, the Windows installation is not running.
Can you change windows 10 system settings using cmd.
I try to make a batch file that change the Windows settings how i want them.
Eexample : my screen is 100% and i want to make my screen 125% can i use a commannd for that ?
i was just wondering if its possible to change windows user options using a batch file. doesnt matter if its the monitor or other windows settings.
Various Windows settings are controlled by Registry keys. You can find the right key for your particular setting by Google search. As an example, to change DPI scaling to 150%, save this script to test.bat, run from open Admin Cmd Prompt, then re-login:
#echo off
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v LogPixels /t reg_dword /d 144
exit /b
I want to enable and disable manual proxy setup in windows 7,8 and 8. I want to toggle the manual proxy setup option using command script. I want to create a .bat file using command line and whenever I click on that .bat file, the manual proxy setup option will be toggled. I don't know the command for doing my job. I want to know the command for this job.
I agree with #Quirk this question is better placed in the super user group, but at the same time, users are drawn more often to StackOverflow and get discouraged when they don't find the answer.
Here is something I came up with, also my taught process:
all of Windows configurations that are flags or simple values are kept in the registry
you can manipulate the registry with the REG command
REG /? shows you what you can do
with regedit you can search the registry (F3) for your proxy host name
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
once you found the REG_KEY you are ready to write your script
in conclusion:
here is your 'command' for enabling your proxy:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
here is your 'command' for disabling your proxy:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
It works, the value is set, but I am pretty sure your Network Settings Window does not get the update until the next time you open it.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to remotely change the wallpaper on about 50 computers that are running Win 7 in a WORKGROUP environment.
I have local admin rights to all of them plus they are running an agent (Faronics) that lets me push .bat .exe .msi .vbs and .ps1 to them remotely.
Just wondering if there was any application that lets me do that remotely or if not, what is the easiest way to get my image to these machines and set it as default wallpaper?
The wallpaper that Windows uses is in the registry under the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper key
you just can change it with the REG command.
See REG /? and then try...
reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper
and
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d D:\my.bmp /f
Replacing the file in the following path C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg is hit or miss depending upon the other desktop background settings shown on the GUI and file type.
I have been able to successfully replace the file with another .jpg file renamed TranscodedWallpaper.jpg and put in its place but the Desktop doesn't just update by itself.
You have to force it with the Rundll32.exe user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters command.
This is also hit or miss. I have had it work several times correctly while physically on the computer but cannot get the computer to do the same remotely.
Still working on a 100% working remote solution to fully answer the question.
You can use intelliadmin network administrator to change the desktop pictures remotely on all computers at once
How disable and enable usb port via command prompt? or using batch script ? or using vb script in windows 7?
You can use batch which gives you a couple of options. You can edit the registry key to disable usb devices from being used
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
To enable change value to 3.
Or you can deny access to the files Usbstor.pnf and Usbstor.inf
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /d user
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /d user
Where user is the user account that you want to deny access for.
To enable use
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.pnf /p user:R
cacls %windir%\Inf\Usbstor.inf /p user:R
Both commands will need admin rights.
Hope this helps
You can also have a look at devcon command. Available freely on microsoft site, for win7+ windows.
I have the same problem and I use a solution that takes the best of the two previous answers:
1º-We disable the functionality that allow us to detect new external storage devices:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f
2º-We remove all the drivers of USB devices installed on the PC (This will also eliminate the possibility of using keyboard and mouse, but only momentarily):
devcon.exe remove *USB*
3º- We re-scan the connected USB devices, so that Windows will automatically install the drivers of devices different than external storage (eg Mouse, keyboard ...), thus obtaining the desired result:
devcon.exe rescan
4º- If we want to re-allow the use of external storage devices in our PC, we must use the command:
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f
PD: Every command will need admin rights
I use USBDeview. See documentation and examples to use it. Easy and works fine
