ok, found something (concerning manipulation of some
Regedit stuff)... let's see if I remember this correctly. you might wanna do some researches on this as well.
let's say you want to deny some transmission reports to Microsoft in Win7.
for eg, imagine there is a file you are about to open up but a matching program isn't yet attached. you are gonna do something like rightclick your file, choose
open with and on the bottem there should be something written like "look for the appropriate program on the web". say you don't want this massage nor do you want this web service to take action.
therefor do the following
- open up a text editor of your choice
- type the following text
- save the document as *.reg.
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001
- to give you a clue.
- the content of the [...] brackets is the path
- the second row shows a new added DWORD with the name NoInternetOpenWith and the hex value of 1
if you are about to remove Libraries like
Favorites, Music, Pictures etc. from Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Pane, write down the following:
Code: Select all
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}]

and to reactivate it check this script:
WIN7_Library_Reactivation.reg
ps: you might need to take ownership of ShellFolder key. are you familiar with doing such things?
