Re^4: Need to modify windows system file.

Hi,

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_rtm.101119-1850).

I want to disable the followings in wscui.cpl

1. Network Firewall.
2. Spyware and related production
3. User Account Control
4. Virus production
5. Windows Backup
6. Check for update
7. Windows trouble shooting

I want to enable the followings in wscui.cpl

1. Windows update
2. Internet security setting.

The code not working because of "SendKeys". It jst like key board macro.

Let me know anything else you need.

Thanks
Srinivasan.K

Win32::GuiTest has `SendKeys`. Personally, I would make such setting changes through system policies. I presume there is a kit that creates and distributes these policies. This is far less fragile than trying to keep up with a changing UI and sending keystrokes to manipulate it. Also, when automating by sending keystrokes, I found it much less fragile to send `ALT+...` codes to trigger the hotkeys for each option instead of tabbing through the options.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, group policy is designed exactly for your purpose: automatically change settings for a number of machines. Even I find it very strange not to modify group policy some specific cause may exist to do so. In this case you should look for registry settings responsible for the specific task and change it. In most cases registry modification of system settings require a system reboot, maybe this is why it "doesn't work" for you. It looks like you are installing the system from scratch so one more or less reboot should make no difference. A number of websites describe lot of different registry settings try google for "windows unattended" Take care if you change windows registry, if at some latter point you decide this changes don't fit your requirements anymore you need to adapt all systems again. Using a group policy you just need to change/remove a policy.	[reply]
