ECHO 2. Local Security Policy..
ECHO 3. Registry..
echo ====================================
set /p input=Choose:
if %input%==1 goto 1
if %input%==2 goto 2

goto selector


:1
cls
echo ====================================
:selector2

set input=
ECHO 4. Plug Play
ECHO 5. Indexing Service
ECHO 6. Windows Time
ECHO 7. Default (Windows Xp default)
echo ====================================

set /p input=Which service?t: 
if %input%==4 goto 4
if %input%==5 goto 5
if %input%==6 goto 6
if %input%==7 goto 7

@REM Invalid Choice Message
@echo Invalid choice.
goto selector2

:4
sc config "PlugPlay" start= disabled
pause
goto end

:5
sc config "CiSvc" start= disabled
pause
goto end

:6
sc config "W32Time" start= disabled
pause
goto end

:7
cls
sc config "PlugPlay" start= auto

sc config "CiSvc" start= demand

sc config "W32Time" start= auto


echo Services turned off.

pause
goto end



pause
goto end



pause
goto end


:2
echo ...
pause
goto end

:3
echo ...
pause
goto end

:end

Is it possible to edit, for example, 3 local security settings?
How about registry?

[broksainis]

Any chances to edit/change security settings?

I don't know how to do that in batch, but maybe these settings could be changed using registry settings.
To find out what registry settings could be involved (if any), you may use Process Monitor:

Hi, broksainis !

You can easily find the changes in registry using RegShot Tool - http://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/
But to apply changes when you direct write the registry values, you need to reboot OS.
Some changes can be applied with commands:

Code: Select all

rundll32 user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
gpupdate /force

Best wishes, Alex.
