To Disable the Use of USB Storage Devices

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. Locate, and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor
4. In the right pane, double-click Start.
5. In the Value data box, type 4, click Hexadecimal (if it is not already selected), and then click OK.(If U Want To Enable type 3)
6. Quit Registry Editor

Hide in the (Network) Neighborhood

Don’t want your XP computer to show up in the network browse list (Network Neighborhood/My Network Places) to other users on your network? One way to accomplish that is to disable file sharing. To do this, click Start, right click My Network Places and select Properties. Right click your local area connection and click Properties. Uncheck the box that says File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. Click OK.
But what if you want to be able to share folders with some users; you just don’t want everyone on the network to see your computer’s shares? There’s a way:
Click Start and select Run.
In the Run box, type net config server /hidden:yes
Click OK.
Now others who know the UNC path (\\computer name\share name) can connect to your computer’s shares from the Run box, but it won’t show up in the network browse list.
Add Open With to all files:
You can add “Open With...” to the Right click context menu of all files.This is great for when you have several programs you want to open the same file types with. I use three different text editors so I added it to the “.txt” key.
1. Open RegEdit
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell
3. Add a new Key named “OpenWith” by right clicking the “Shell” Key and selecting new
4. Set the (Default) to “Op&en With...”
5. Add a new Key named “Command” by right clicking the “OpenWith” Key and selecting new
6. Set the (Default) to “C:\Windows\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1”, C:\ being your Windows drive. You must enter the “OpenAs_RunDLL %1” exactly this way.

Multiple Columns For the Start Menu

To make Windows use multiple Start Menu Columns instead of a single scrolling column, like Windows 9x had, Also if you are using Classic Mode in XP
1. Open RegEdit
2. Go to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Explorer\ Advanced
3. Create a string value “StartMenuScrollPrograms”
4. Right click the new string value and select modify
5. Set the value to “FALSE

Lock Out Unwanted Users

Want to keep people from accessing Windows, even as the default user?
If you do not have a domain do not attempt this.
1. Open RegEdit
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon
3. Create a dword value “MustBeValidated”
4. Set the value to 1
This forced logon can be bypassed in Safe Mode on Windows 9x

How to disable format command in windows XP xp2

If you REALLY want to prevent the ability to Format from the right-click menu, the
first step is to disable Windows File Protection. To do that you need to hex edit
the C:\windows\system32\sfc_os.dll file (this assumes you are using WinXP SP-2, otherwise
go straight to step 3 since SP-1 does not require this hex edit).

1. Go here, download and install a free hex editor.

2. Then go here and follow the instructions on loading, editing, and saving
your modified sfc_os.dll file. You'll be able to copy it into system32\dllcache\
modified, but most likely you'll have to use the Recovery Console to copy
the modified sfc_os.dll file into \system32\.


3. Cut and paste the lighter blue text below into notepad, and save as indicated.
With the modified sfc_os.dll file in place, just double click the .reg files whenever
you want to either disable or enable WFP.

Save this file as No_WFP.reg (File Protection Disabled)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d

Save this file as Yes_WFP.reg (File Protection Enabled)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"SFCDisable"=dword:00000000

Once you've turned WFP off, reboot.

4. The next step is to modify the c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll file. To do that,
you'll need a resource hacker like this one. Download and copy the zipped files into a folder and
launch the executable. SAVE YOUR MOST RECENT SHELL32.DLL FILE TO ANOTHER LOCATION
- FLOPPY/FLASH DRIVE ANOTHER DRIVE, ETC.

5. In Resource Hacker, open C:\windows\system32\shell32.dll and find this section:
Dialog: 28672: 1033.

Delete the resource and save the shell32.dll file - if you are not able to save it
right back into C:\windows\system32, then save it to another location, for example
to C:\shell32.dll. Then go back into the Recovery Console and copy the modified shell32.dll
into C:\windows\system32 and to C:\windows\system32\dllcache. Reboot and now when
anyone clicks on Format from the right-click menu NOTHING will happen or be displayed
(no Format Box). You will still be able to format drives by using a cmd box and the
c:\windows\system32\format.com command, if you want to disable this too, rename this
file or move it to another location only you know about or off the hard drive altogether.



6. When you're done tinkering, turn WFP back on with the second .reg file (Yes_WFP.reg)
and you're done.
