Moggles Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Ive just discovered Autoit and now I use it for everything. Its marvellous! If I had a milkman Id even leave notes for him with it. At the moment Im writing a script to configure new computers to my companys standard. This might not strictly be an Autoit question but here goes anyway: Does anyone know how to gain access to Folder Options, the third icon in the Appearance and Themes window? (Desk.cpl is OK for the others). What I want to do is uncheck the auto search for shared folders and printers. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanegmond Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Moggles, this kind of stuff is called 'Registry Tweaking'. You make changes to the registry, by clicking or checking in a GUI. You can use RegMon from Windows to see the changes made to the registry, and you can use a RegWrite operation to apply these changes.. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabus Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Should be REG_WRITE('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced', 'NoNetCrawling', 'REG_DWORD', '00000001') Maybe you need to reboot. Have a look at the Folder.au3-demo from AutoIt3Lib This does what you want via gui. Edited April 2, 2007 by dabus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggles Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks dabus and Manadar, I'll give both your suggestions a try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffe Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I usually use --Run ("Control.exe folders")-- to get to the folder options and then either keystrokes or mouseclicks. It may not be as nice. but I like it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
