Hi Brink,

Sorry for bothering you again.

I've added that registry to my tweaks registery file MyTweaks.bat (launching MyTweaks.reg). When MyTweaks.bat file is launched by Autounattend.xml (SynchronousCommand).

I noticed that ControlPanel registry is not applied.
1) Is there a command "Run as Administrator" (.bat or .cmd) to force that registry to be applied?

2) As other few registries are not applied too, allthoug they were tested working.
Do you think if I launch that MyTweaks.bat file as RunOnce/RunOnceEx all the registries will be applied?

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\MyTweaks]
"MyTweaks"="c:\Windows\Setup\scripts\MyTweaks.bat"

Regards

Does it help if you run the bat file from an elevated command prompt?

Coucou,

You would just need to remove that one line below from your MyTweaks.reg file. If you like, reupload it, and I'll remove it for you, then upload the modified version back for you.

Code:

 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}]

TNX JDobbsy1987 and Brink for yr reply.
Maybe I didn't express my self clearly.
Here bellow MyTweaks.bat. What to add/modify to make it elevated runnig

Code:

 
@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
REGEDIT /S "%systemroot%\Setup\Scripts\MyTweaks.reg"
EXIT

The following reg is not concerned

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}]

Here 2 regs among others to be Run as Admin

Code:

 
; Remove Control Panel from the Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Panel
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:a0900004
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Remove Favorites from the Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Panel
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:a9400100

Coucou,

You should go ahead and post this issue with getting the BAT file to run elevated automatically in a new thread since it's no longer on topic with the tutorial. This way you will be able to get more help with it there.

Hi Brink,

I posted a new thread HERE. I got a success runing MyTweaks.reg elevated, but still the following registries are NOT applied.

Code:

; Remove Control Panel from the Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Panel
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:a0900004
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Remove Favorites from the Windows 7 Explorer Navigation Panel
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:a9400100

On reflection, I noticed that the problem is NOT (or not only) run elevate. It's the Permissions for Administrators group Full Control box not cheked Allow (step 5).
Is there any how to do that automatically?

Regards

Finalyy I got it

I've downloaded SetAcl HERE

I got success with the bellow cmd

setacl.cmd

Code:

setacl.exe -on "HKCR\CLSID\{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}" -ot reg -rec yes -actn setowner -ownr "n:Administrateurs" 
setacl.exe -on "HKCR\CLSID\{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}" -ot reg -rec yes -actn ace -ace "n:Administrateurs;p:full" 
 
setacl.exe -on "HKCR\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}" -ot reg -rec yes -actn setowner -ownr "n:Administrateurs" 
setacl.exe -on "HKCR\CLSID\{323CA680-C24D-4099-B94D-446DD2D7249E}" -ot reg -rec yes -actn ace -ace "n:Administrateurs;p:full"

As my system is french i had to type "Administrateurs" instead of "Administrators"

That's great news Coucou. Those pesky language differences struck again.
