Hello,
I need to run a batch over many windows 98 clients to remove the "File and Print for Microsoft Networks" service on the networking properties.

The questios is, How do I remove that service on windows 98? is it located on the Registry? Does anyone knows how to access the registry and manage the settings for this trhougth a batch file? I need to prevent users from create share folders.

Thanks to all.

i suggest to look here

CODE

http://www.geocities.com/~budallen/98reskit.html

and do the following
1 buckup registry before changing file sharing settings
2 change those settings
3 make 2nd buckup
4 compare those two using file named COMPREG.EXE

you can find it here and a lot more

CODE

than you can identify place in registry
where it's stored and write script to switch it off

hope it works

Thank you,
sure that will help! but, can you give me an example of code, if you where attempting to modify the registry using a batch file.
Like this.

you have identify the registry keys, but need to change it using a batch file, what would be in the conde of that batch file?
My understanding is that you need to type: REGEDIT32 or REGSRV... something and then the keys with the new values.

Thank you.

here's a piece of file(first lines)
u can find them in some install disks
this one is from office i think

you put them in file named blabla.reg

CODE

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataFactory\HandlerInfo]
"handlerRequired"=dword:00000001
"DefaultHandler"="MSDFMAP.Handler"

if u want to edit manually use regedit instead

google for some windows 98 registry faq tutorial
and you will find a lot of stuff for sure

greetz and good luck
