DISABLING TRICKS
Now , let us see how to manually Disable and Enable the drives using the keys in the Registry.
1.Disable/Enable Drives:
The key for the Number of drives in the registry is available at,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
The value 'NoDrives' :The value of this data will depend on the no of drives in your system.
Let us take an example. If you system contain A: C: D: drives, and you want to disable C drive the entry in registry would be 2 int(65-'C') , and if you want to disable A: and D: the registry value is 2((65-int('A'))+(65-int('d'))).This is a little complicated. The DLL, I use contains the wrapper for this , so just use them.
2.Disable Control panel:
The Key Holding data to Show or Hide Control Panel is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
and Value Name is "NoControlPanel" if it value is 0 you can see Control Panel and if 1 you can't see control panel.
3. Disable Change Password:
This option you are going to see when u press (CTRL+ALT+DEL) in WIN2000 and above
and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and Value Name is "DisableChangePassword" if its value is 0 you can see Change Password Option Enabled and if 1 ChangePassword Option is disabled.
4.Disable Search:
This option you are going to see in Start menu and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoFind" if its value is 0 you can see this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
5.Disable RUN:
This option is available in Start menu and it Key is

6.Disable ShutDown:
This option is available in Start menu and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoClose" if its value is 0 you can see this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
7.Disable NetworkAccess:
This option is available on the Desktop and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoNetHood" if its value is 0 you can see this Network Neighborhood icon and if 1 it will be invisible.
8.Disable TaskBar Setting:
This option you are going to see at Desktop and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoSetTaskBar" if its value is 0 you can see this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
9.Disable RegEdit:
This is Registry Editor tool HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "DisableRegistryTools" if it value is 0 you can see this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
10.Disable TaskManager:
This option you are going to see usually in windows 2000 and above when you press (CTRL+ALT_DEL), its Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "DisableTaskMgr" if its value is 0 you can see this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
11.Disable Context Menu:
This option you are going to see is accessible by a Right click on DESKTOP. This is what is known as Context menu and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoViewContextMenu" if its value is 0 you can see?this context menu and if 1 you can't see that option.
12. Disable Desktop icon:
This option applies all the icon present on desktop ,it key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and Value Name is "NoDesktop" if its value is 0 you can see?this icons and if 1 all icons will be invisible.
13.Disable Display Properties:
This option you are going to see is accessible by a Right click on DESKTOP and click on Properties menu item and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. The Value Name is "NoDispCPL" if its value is 0 you can see?this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
14.Disable Background Tab:
This option you are going to see in Display Control Panel and it Key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "NoDispBackgroundPage" if its value is 0 you can see?this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
15.Disable ScreenSaver Tab:
This option you are going to see In Display Control Panel and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "NoDispScrSavPage" if its value is 0 you can see?this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
16.Disable Setting And Plus Tab:
This option you are going to see In Display Control Panel and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "NoDispSettingsPage" if its value is 0 you can see?this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
17.Disable Appearance Tab:
This option you are going to see In Display Contral Panel and it Key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and Value Name is "NoDispAppearancePage" if its value is 0 you can see?this Option Enabled and if 1 you can't see that option.
I think I have explained all the functionalities of the program. Remember one thing. Some of these options show effect only when the computer is restarted.
Using this Program:
* Just Check on the Restriction you want to apply and click apply, the restriction are applied.
* Remember most of restriction after applying and disapplying need Restarting of your computer ok.
Registry Class - CNMPDrivesClass
The Declaration of the Class is this ->
class AFX_EXT_CLASS CNMPDrivesClass
{
CString NMPChangeToBinary(DWORD dwVar);public:
void SendTypeOFDrives(CUIntArray &Stat);
void SendStatusOFDrives(CUIntArray &stat);
BOOL GetDrivesVolume(CStringArray &VolumeName,CDWordArray SerialNumber,CStringArray &FileSystem);
void NMPReturnNoOfDrives(CUIntArray &NoOfDrives);
void NMPDisableLocalDrives(CUIntArray &a);
CRegKey m_LocalKey;
CNMPDrivesClass();
CNMPDrivesClass(CString SID);
CNMPDrivesClass(BOOL bUser);
virtual ~CNMPDrivesClass();
private:
CRegKey f;
};
Now let me explain working of each function
1. void SendTypeOFDrives(CUIntArray &Stat);
This function fills the Types of Drives Present in the computer into an array of type CUIntArray. The values are filled according to Drives like If your computer has (A: C: D: E:), in the alphabetical order.
Array [0]:A: information
Array [1]:C: information
Array [2]:D: information
Array [3]:E: information
Meaning of Values in the CUIntArray:
* 0 stand for Floppy Drive
* 1 stand for Hard Disk
* 2 stand for CDRom
* 3 stand for RAMDISK
* 4 for network Drives
* 5 for Unknown or Can't be retrieve
2.void SendStatusOFDrives(CUIntArray &stat);
This function will tell status of drives either it Enabled or disabled. This argument contains the Drives Int, which are disabled eg int(65) stand for A, int (66) for B and so on.
Now let me explain this with small Example
Assume that the Computer had A:,C:,D:,E: Drives and C: and D: are disabled.
The size of returning Array Stat will be 2 and the values will be filled as follows.
Stat[0]=C
&Stat[1]=D
3. BOOL GetDrivesVolume(CStringArray &VolumeName,CDWordArray SerialNumber,CStringArray &FileSystem);
This function contains the information about Volume Name, Serial Number And File System of drives, and it Sequence is same as above.
Like if your computer has (A: C: D: E:)
Array [0]:A: information
Array [1]:C: information
Array [2]:D: information
Array [3]:E: information
4.void NMPReturnNoOfDrives(CUIntArray &NoOfDrives);
This function returns the number of drives the local system contain, but it will return Integer equivalent of character.
eg If your computer has (A: C: D: E:)
Array [0]:65 ie A (According to ASCII Character SET)
Array [1]:67 ie C (According to ASCII Character SET)
Array [2]:68 ie D (According to ASCII Character SET)
Array [3]:69:ie E (According to ASCII Character SET)
5. void NMPDisableLocalDrives(CUIntArray &a);
1.Disable/Enable Drives:
The key for the Number of drives in the registry is available at,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
The value 'NoDrives' :The value of this data will depend on the no of drives in your system.
