Multi-OEM/Retail Project {MRP} - Mk3

As mentioned in MRP v89 that 'File Sharing' option will be auto disabled if RS4+ is detected. Just put the code check in.

So if you tick the box and RS4+ is being installed, MRP will not alter the setting, so you may still have to enable SMB v1.0 via the OS's 'Programs and Features' for your shares to work fully, hopefully m$ will fix that.

 

I have already committed the changes... I can easily undo them.

Although ConfigCreator can be a <Censored> to edit. lol

Plus it going to be a while for MRP 89 as i have to test things over and over etc so maybe M$ will sort it out by the time the next MRP release.

*edit* Undone the changes, just put a new tool tip in the ConfigCreator about if RS4+ is installed that you might have to turn on SMB v1.0 within Windows on the 'File Sharing' option.

 

We are addressing the issues they create. (well trying to - until they issue a 'fix' that screws that idea up and adds even more things to fix lol)

Latest MRP v89.0 {T3} Update:

Have removed:
ReFS option due to researching that it could potentially cause problems on Editions that don't support it normally for creating those File System Volumes.

Replaced with:
Enable Extra Context Menus, {Command/Powershell Prompt Here (Normal/Admin), TakeOwnership, CopyTo/MoveTo}. They are all enabled if the option is ticked, they are not separate options!

Added as quite a few people have asked for them to be considered for addition. If you not want all of them and only a select few there will be scripts in the 'Optional/Misc_ExtraScripts' folder so you can enable only the ones you want manually. Note these are system wide 'features' and not limited to the current user.

ConfigCreator v2.7 has been updated with the replacement option.

 

Well you don't run blockadverts.cmd if you have already used the option within the configCreator or it may confuse things, shouldn't do as it only affects the advert tiles for the current user.

Not had Wintel.cmd cause any problems before for that setting...

The 'Managed by your organization' is normal when some registry edits are done that affect Policies which a few of the options do - they are mentioned in the tooltips, more so the Cortana block.

Did you edit Wintel - ie un-bypass the bottom sections? as those services could affect certain aspects, they are bypassed for that reason.

Blockadverts.cmd script is for use on a already installed OS. It is ignored if placed in the Scripts folder.

 

From what i can see it is because you are not signed in with a M$ account, a local account not allow the sync...

 

The Black Explorer is a nice addition to RS5 pity they not have that on older builds!

I have tried to do it with tweaks but it always reset on next reboot or if explorer.exe crashed.

 

ah ok

As i quoted from a post on a Microsoft forum that it seems the Phone side you have to be logged into the PC via a M$ account, so i dont think that a fault of MRP.

The User folder and Control Panel i might add as an option in the future as they fairly easy... I didn't add them because m$ are slowly removing Control Panel (boo hiss) and shoving it all within Settings App so Control Panel one may not work at some point in the future.

Code:

rem ** Desktop Icons -- 0 = Show Icon , 1 = Hide Icon **

rem User's Files
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

rem Control Panel
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

rem Network
:: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

rem Recycle Bin (usually shown by default)
:: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

rem This PC/My Computer
:: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel" /v "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

The lines with :: (remark) are for those extra icons. If you want them to be on the desktop just remove the :: and it will be shown. A reboot or logout cycle will be required for them to appear, or maybe a restart of explorer.exe would do.

You can place them into the Wintel.cmd or UserTweaks.cmd and MRP would action them.

 

I have checked through Wintel.cmd at the services sections and only one stands out 'phonesvc' but that is bypassed as that is in the bottom W10 section that you have to enable by removing a GOTO command before the section. Have removed that service from the 'hit list' now.

The purpose of Wintel is to stop most telemetry / giving information to m$, so If you want to use Microsoft services it probably wise not to use Wintel.cmd at all!

=====================================
​

If i understand your line "can't those lines be added to MRPconfig.ini file itself" correctly about the tweaks then i will need to add the options to ConfigCreator and the code into MRP so that those other icons can be added to the desktop if the option is ticked.

I will consider adding them but it will just be 'User Folder' and 'Control Panel' as a single option, the end user can delete a none required icon from the desktop without problems later as they are only 'shortcuts' after all.

Possible but it involves a bit more work and making space for the extra bits, maybe at a later date.

Just working on a standalone script for the Desktop Icons. Basic but functional...

Code:

===================================
Current Settings  - Show On Desktop
===================================
User's Folder     :  No
Control Panel     :  No
Network           :  No
Recycle Bin       :  Yes
ThisPC/My Comp    :  No

Show User's Folder On Desktop {Y/N and press enter} _

 

You could add one of the following to Oobe.cmd - only HKLM can be used in oobe.cmd as HKCU does not exist that that stage of setup.

For UserTweaks.cmd or SetupComplete.cmd you should use HKCU because the username has been created at this stage, use along with the HKLM ones to make sure.

Either way should set Control Panel's view.

Code:

REM (1) For Catagory View.
Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ForceClassicControlPanel" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

REM (2) For large Icons.
Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ForceClassicControlPanel" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "StartupPage" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "AllItemsIconView" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f >nul 2>&1

REM (2a) Small Icon View. Used with above setting.
Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ForceClassicControlPanel" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "StartupPage" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "AllItemsIconView" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f >nul 2>&1

REM (3) For Original Default setting.
Reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ForceClassicControlPanel" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "StartupPage" /f >nul 2>&1
Reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel" /v "AllItemsIconView" /f >nul 2>&1
