Which Windows 7 file(s) are critical for booting?
In other words, what is the shortest way to irreversibly dismantle a Windows 7 instance via a batch script, assuming we have root privileges?
I googled a bit, but I found ambiguous information.
*I'm asking this out of curiousity - not to do evil deeds.
The thing about booting files is that all of them can easily be restored. If you want to irreveribly degrade Windows about the only thing you can do is destroy the registry files. See this link for the location of the registry archives.

I would like to automate running a custom batch file when a user logins to Windows 8? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Racoon
Yes, using the Task Scheduler. Here's a resource I found by Googling this (It also applies to Windows 8, though of course the interface is different): http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-schedule-batch-file-run-automatically-windows-7

I've read many articles about using wevutil.exe and it seems to be exactly what I need. However, I cannot find it. I've tried on a Windows 2003 server, Windows 2008 server, Windows 7, etc. All come back with "'wevutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command". TechNet (which has docs on using it) doesn't list a download point so I assume it is provided with Windows?
I think you just misspelled, it's actually WevtUtil, and is located in C:\Windows\System32.

On windows XP, I easily replace the corrupted shimgvw.dll with the original so that I could recover the problem of displaying the picture on thumbnail view and opening it with windows fax viewer.
But I can't replace shimgvw.dll on windows 7. I have tried replacing from safe mode with command prompt, but I can't.
Is there any command-line(like sudo of LINUX) to break security so that windows 7 will allows us to replace the file on system32 folder?
Are you programmer?
MoveFileEx
Or you can use
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\FileRenameOperations
registry key.
Or you can use Sysinternals PendMoves

i am running xampp on my windows 7 machine. i've downloaded the sourcecode for concrete5 5.4.2.2 (that is a PHP-based CMS) but some directories are not writeable, see screenie:
since there is no such thing as chmod on windows i am now wondering how to make the folders writeable by the webserver?!
There are two steps that should help you. First, check what user the web server is running as. If you can't see it easily, just Task Manager - it should show you. Then, once you know that user, give him read/write permissions through windows explorer to that folder. Alternatively, you could give "eveyone" access this way, but that has some serious security implications.

I found that taking any exe file, renaming it to program (without extension) and putting it in C:\ root folder might cause strange things in windows like showing this application when other programs start.
What is it? is it some kind of backdoor?
p.s if you restart windows after doing so - you get a warning about it.
thanks,
Adi Barda
Maybe the fact that some programs don't know how to access C:/Program Files/. because it has a space. Then they are trying to execute C:/program, which in your case turns out to be the file you created.
