I'm not actually sure how to restart explorer without elevating it... Since the script needs to be elevated to run, it will elevate any programs you run as well...
Use the following command: Taskkill /im Explorer.exe (Kills all instances of Explorer) And the handy part is that you just need to type "start explorer.exe" afterwards You probably do need to elevate the script :/ either way
Don't get me wrong guys but this is an another example to get things more complicated than needed or it get's more attention that it's worth in my opinion. Do we really need a script? murphy you could have done this way better with much less redundant lines / info. at least to started to work with call commands... (but normaly you exit call with goto: eof and not exit /b.) ...but I don't want to bother with details. Offtopic: The quality of most current Threads are just ridiculous that I also nearly lost any interessed in reading them. Always the same boring stuff... from Watermark remover to Glass to AIO.... it's annoys me to death. Same Discussions since Vista for every release... and I'm not talking about even RTM releases.
We need a back plate to use to apply the changes to the OS. This can be done any maner of ways but scripting it makes it quick n dirty. We want to test the changes fast so that we can see the results. @Offtopic: I find them dull as well as they are just all the same thing. I did Repo's for a bit but even they simply got copied n redone. I'm gonna continue making the Security Repository as that takes a direction that is more interesting.
It's not worth applying to a WIM at this point so we just need to test it out and iron out the kinks in preparation for the next preview. I'm bringing a test VM online now that will be clean for purposes of testing. The other one I have has all the Reversing and Network Analysis tools on it.
I wouldn't be surprised if the keylogger had an Internet Explorer plugin type thing... We'll have to keep knocking down the pins till none are left up, in the most future-proof way possible I guess. So, there may be some attention required there. Right now it's like this thing that we know is there, but we're still trying to figure out how to deal with it.
I understand the concept of quick and dirty. I just saw the script and PS and thought... seriously.... are "we" now creating "powerfull" automated solutions with errorhandling for some minor regfile that doesn't have the need of any flexible value/date? Yes I understand that scripting is nice (do it all the time for business) but importing a reg file for a Evaluation should be just enough... I think a Menu and many echo's aren't work the workload. All I'm saysing: I don't see the effort for this and wouldn't investigate/waste more time (also if I'm talking about 5min) Of course.... if this would be in RTM this is no overkill. But from my understanding thoose are services that are only for Eval/Previews.

I would wager a guess that our search is running through searchui.exe From this directory: C:\Program files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Cortana_1.2.0.0_x64__(Some characters)\searchui.exe At the moment I am not sure on blocking such an IP.
There are several options: - educate yourself a bit in the IT-field - don't try to install new software on your WW1-Computer - don't buy s*** hardware from s*** brands - go back to Windows 3.1 - stay off the internet - stay off computers
My EYES!!! The goggles, they do nothing! There could be some really insightful stuff in there, but I'm not going to read that wall of text.
