This is the official Microsoft Information for Windows 2003 Server.
Windows 2000 documentation is nearly identical.

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/4b9e6078-6b7d-4cc1-a927-77c1eab7c1341033.mspx?mfr=true

Editing the Registry
Updated: March 28, 2003

Most users never need to edit the registry. You can configure most
system services by using the programs provided with Windows (such as
Computer Management, Control Panel, and Group Policy), or by using the
administrative tools that install with optional services (such as WINS
Manager and Internet Service Manager).

Using the Registry Editor
If you need to view the registry or to change a value that can be
changed only in the registry directly, use Regedit.exe, the registry
editor installed with Windows Server 2003. An alternative registry
editor, Regedt32.exe, which is included in Windows 2000 and earlier, is
not included in Windows Server 2003, although many of its functions
appear in the Windows Server 2003 version of Regedit.exe.

Caution

• Do not experiment with the registry or change any settings if
you do not understand them completely. The vast majority of registry
settings are maintained automatically, and many can only be maintained
correctly by the operating system itself. Changing these settings can
produce unexpected, contradictory, or uninterpretable instructions in
operating system and application programs. Editing registry settings
can also degrade the performance of your system, obscure the location
of essential files, or invalidate your Windows licensing agreement.
Before making any changes, be sure to back up the registry by using one
of the methods described in Backing Up and Restoring the Registry. After
you make changes, be sure to test them before returning your computer to
normal operation.

To start Regedit.exe, click Start, click Run, and then type Regedit.

Regedit.exe does not display the registry directly. Instead, it
constructs a virtual database from several sources of data. These
sources include some of the files in %systemroot%\System32\config.
Regedit.exe does not display some portions of the registry that are
particularly sensitive and that should never be edited, such as a
subtree related to performance counters. For more information about
Regedit.exe, see Registry Editor in Help and Support Center for Windows
Server 2003, or see Help in Regedit.exe.

Making Registry Changes Effective
When you use an administrative tool to change the configuration of a
system feature or service, the change usually takes effect either
immediately or soon.

However, if you make the same change by editing the registry, for the
change to take effect you might need to log off and log on again,
restart the service, or restart Windows.

In general, if you change the value of any entry in the
CurrentControlSet subkey, you must restart the computer for the changes
to take effect. Also, if you use the registry editor Regedit.exe to
change values for most entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, you must log off
and log on again for the changes to take effect.

When a change to the value of an entry is not immediate, the
description of the entry contains an Activation Method, which describes
what you need to do to make the change effective.

This is the sysinternals documentation on how changes are applied to
the hive log and the hive file. Specifically read the section titled
Stable Storage on page 209 and 210. In my experience with regional
options when using Regedit the lazy writer makes changes to the
ntuser.dat.log file but does not make changes to the ntuser.dat file.
Whereas changes through the Regional options applet in the control
panel does make the changes all the way to the ntuser.dat file.

Hope this helps.

after searching the web and finding no solution, I set out to find one:
found it :)

I had to manually undo an auto-update, in my case it was KB914882, but
the process is the same for any;

* *take note*: u must uninstall updates in the reverse order of
install (check the date/time stamp, not the number!) since often the
same files are replaced, and then it gets all mixed up if u dont

step one: you need access to the drive (obviously) so u can use any
method to get there, e.g.:
· cd boot with a windows gui environment such as Bart PE
· cd boot with a dos environment and load ntfspro
· connect the drive to another machine as a secondary drive

step two: you need access to the hidden folders in \windows; if u dont
want to change settings on the end user, u might consider grabbing a
free copy of explorerxp (a super simple freebie from explorerxp.com) or
one of the others

have a look at \windows\$NtUninstallKB914882$\spuninst or whatever
number u are trying to remove;
there are two file u need to read the .txt file which is set up like a
batch file to del/copy/etc files - just do it (although I tend to
rename files rather than remove them, just in case)
read the .inf file and see if there are any registry keys you have to
delete, change, etc
(a copy of remote regedit helps, otherwise u gotta import/export
hives)

step three: prayer doesnt hurt Smile

boot the beast up and it should work
make sure u smile lots, cause I love smiles !

I know this is an old thread but I didn't see the finally solution.

I was having the same issue and looked in the key of working station
and compared it a non working.

On the Novice computer; In the Registry, HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Ole
key created String Value called EnableDCOM. Set its value to Y.

This enabled it.

Hi Justin

I'm using XP Pro on my laptop. The IIS is installed on my laptop, and
I develop in Visual Interdev on the same laptop (no "workstations"). I
dont use FPSE explicitly, although it has to be installed to do what
I'm doing, as I understand it.

If I create a new project, it stumbles on the global.asa file & the
search.htm file. The subfolders (and any files therein) seems to be
ok.

I'm getting around it now by explicitly setting the IUSR_ permissions
on every folder via Windows Explorer. Not really an ideal situation
though! Once I've set the permissions, it seems to work fine, though.
So it just seems to be a permissions inheritance issue on WindowsXP,
when interacting with IIS.

(I'm posting this to the security_admin newsgroup - hope that's ok!)

Thanks
Sean

Justin Rich · Guest

So, are you on an AD? i would say its one of two thing.... either your not
on an AD or your not an admin of the machine..

i know you can setup user accounts for FPSE but, im an admin on all of my
machines and they are all in a domain...

because FPSE uses HTTP i think because you dont have any accounts set your
running in to this problem... so if your not in an AD your only option is to
use the FPSE account stuff, which i dont know how to use at all, or if you
have AD going on make your AD account an admin on the machine..

I donâ€™t like the Security Center Shield Icon appearing in my task bar, and I
donâ€™t like the The pop up voice balloon that appears every time I log on to
my pc, (each time I boot the pc) is extremely annoying and I donâ€™t want to
see it, ever.

I followed the procedure to remove Security Center, LM Security, and
Security Account Manager from my Start up programs by using
Run
Msconfig

Also, I followed the help section procedure to turn off security alerts by
selecting â€œchange the way Security Center alerts me. I checked the box
beside and checked OK

There is that note: Notes
â€¢ When you turn off Security Center alerts, the Security Center continues to
check and display status in the Security Center.
I donâ€™t want this happening on my PC. I think this started after I agreed to
update to a newer version of Windows XP, as a pop up box suggested.

I used this procedure next:
Taskbar and Start Menu Properties
Task Bar
Customize
Always Hide
OK
Apply
Ok
The Security Center Shield Icon correctly disappears from the task bar.
However, when I shut down the pc and later boot it up again, the shield Icon
is right back there in the tray, and when I go through the above procedure
again, the pull down menu that I had previously changed to Always Hide, the
choice in the pull down menu has changed on its own to Hide When Inactive. I
want Always Hide . And I donâ€™t want that to change when I reboot.

I feel that this can be corrected, I just donâ€™t know how. Can you tell me
the step by step procedure to permanently hide the icon? The pop up voice
balloon that appears every time I log on to my pc, (each time I boot the pc)
is extremely annoying and I donâ€™t want to see it, ever.

I tried to remove the whole Security Center program using
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
But the Security Center does not appear in the populated list. So I canâ€™t
remove the Security Center program this way. If there is another way to
remove that program, please tell me that procedure.
I use McAfee Security Center. Thatâ€™s all I want on my pc. It works fine.
Thank you

Ps
I also tried this that I found on this forum, but that did not work, either:
Run ... cmd

then

net start "Security Center"

net stop "Security Center"

You must include the quotes, btw.
