Win98's own guard: In-depth tips for registry modification

Do you have such troubles - your friend turned on your computer without your permission, but you were worried because there was your secret inside; you were hiding in the room watching DVDs, and your MM kept calling you, but it turned out that her computer could not work due to misoperation... What should I do? Windows 98 has a built-in guard, which is the registry. Function to block the start menu While the search, run and settings functions in the start menu are convenient, they also bring unsafe factors to your system. You can block the "Run", "Find System", "Favorites" and "Print" options in the "Control Panel" and "Print" options in the "Run", "Find System", "Favorites" and "Settings" menus as needed according to the following methods: Enter the primary key HKEY—CURRENT—USER＼SOFTWARE＼ Microsoft＼Windows＼CurrentVersion＼ Policies＼Explorer]; Select the "DWORD value" in the "New" menu and create 5 new DWORD values, namely "NoRun" (blocking "Run"), "NoFind" (blocking "Find"), "NoClose" (blocking "Set"), "NoFavoritesMenu" (blocking "Favorites"), "NoSetFolders" (blocking "Control Panel" and "Printer"); Set their values ​​to 1 and restart the machine. After modification, there are only a few options left on the menu. The "control panel" and "printer" are gone, either. To restore its settings, you must find the file under C:＼Windows＼, double-click to run, and then delete the corresponding key or set the key value to 0. Let them use the program I specified If you can set up a program that your colleagues can only use the authorized programs you give, it is not only a cool thing, but also makes your computer system safer, realizing this wish is actually very simple: First, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER＼Software＼ Microsoft＼Windows＼CurrentVersion＼Policies＼Explorer creates a new primary key RestrictRun in the window on the right, and then add string values ​​such as "1", "2", "3" and other strings under the primary key of RestrictRun, and then sets the values ​​of strings such as "1", "2", and "3" to the program names that are allowed to be used. For example, if “1”, “2” and “3” are set to “,”, respectively, then users can only use the Heart War, the neutral chain, and the card program. (If it is in HKEY_ CURRENT_USER＼Software＼Microsoft＼Windows＼ CurrentVersion＼Policies＼Explorer Creates a new DWORD value in the window on the right: "RestrictRun" and set its value to "1". This can prevent running any program in Windows 98). Disable "Network" in Control Panel If you just hate being modified by people, then following the hidden method of the control panel and printer introduced earlier, the lethality will be too strong. You can only turn off the network properties in the control panel. The method is: In HKEY_USER＼Username＼Software＼Microsoft＼ Windows＼CurrentVersion＼Policies＼Network ("Username" refers to the name of the corresponding user in a system with multiple users. If multiple users are not established, it is ".Default"), create a new DWORD value, name it "NoNetSetup", and set its value to 1. Cancel the document in the Start Menu The document menu will collect the files you use frequently. It can help you quickly open a used file. When you don’t want others to know what you have used, you have to think of a way to turn it off. The method to turn it off is as follows: Go to HKEY_USERS＼DEFAULT＼Software＼Microsoft＼Windows＼ CurrentVersion＼Policies＼Explorer＼There is a new binary value selected, and the name is set to NoRecentDocsMenu, and the value is changed to "01,00,00,00". However, you may want to have document menus on your computer and delete them only after shutting down the computer. Then you have to do this: still there, create a new binary value called ClearRecentDocsonexit, and the same modification value is "01000000". Note that the comma between 01 and 00 is not the content, it is just separated by commas here. If you want to prohibit the recently operated documents from being placed in the document menu history, then you have to do this: still there, create a new binary value called NoRecentDocsHistory, and the same modified value is "01000000". Of course, the functions of the registry are still very powerful. What we introduce here is just one point. As long as you fully tap its potential, I think the registry will be the loyal guardian of your Windows 98 system. However, I would like to remind you that before modifying the registry, you must back up your registry first, in case of emergency. (Source: CIDI.com-China Computer News)
