This didn't work me. However editing install.cmd to:- @echo off move /y "unlockProtectedFeatures.exe" "%windir%\" takeown /f %windir%\explorer.exe cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G %username%:F taskkill /im explorer.exe /f cd %windir% start unlockProtectedFeatures.exe exit Did!
I was trying to get this to work and realized I know very little, closer to nothing, about this kind of stuff. Do I copy the above exactly into the command window?
To get Elevated or Admin command prompt. Right click on the command prompt icon and choose 'Run as Administrator' You can use either %windir% or J:\Windows they are the same thing. And use %username% or the Name you've loged in with, again they are are the same thing. You are loged into Windows 7 while doing this aren't you ? I only ask, as every Vista and Windows 7 install i've done have marked the install partition as C:\ regardless of which partition its installed on.
Yes, I am logged into Windows 7 64 bit on J. I originally had Vista 32 bit and 64 bit installed on 2 separate HDs, the one booted to was always C:\, the other D:\. I swapped images of the drives and somehow ended up with Drive 1 always being C, drive 2 always being D - VisatBootPro may have allowed me to do this. When I added the two win7 versions I used the next 2 letters available - I:\ for the 32 bit, and J:\ for the 64 bit. I have done so much swapping, rebooting, installing, formatting, re-installing, re-formatting with the 4 drives I'm not sure what is what anymore. I hope to get a ''public release" beta of Win7, put it on D:\ and get rid of all the other stuff. Thank you for your help and patience - let's see what I can do with it.
All went well. Now, where is the launch button mentioned in the article? "After changing the protected feature lock state, you can re-launch the shell by clicking the Launch button." This is my last question - ever -
I realize the LAUNCH button was the one I used on the "lock/unlock" pop up. The problem seems to be the Win7 64 bit version - the 32 bit version worked fine. I installed build 6801 32 bit and it is a soild as Vista SP1 - the Win 7 64 bit version is no where near as solid. Thank you ZaForD. I learned some stuff today - life is good.
Is the new Super taskbar is going to be an option in Win 7, or it is it. I'm still deciding if I like it or not.
