How to hide the user network in Windows 7

Hello

I have a domain where we changed windows XP customers 7. It is one of the many areas in the school, so we do not want users to be able to see the network.

I got through a few Registry hacks and an adm template to hide all references to the network in windows Explorer, but the open/save file dialog boxes do not respect this setting and the entire network is available.

I managed to control this behavior in windows xp using "no entire network in network locations" policies and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only. Will there be an equivalent value in Server 2008 R2 group policy that applies to Windows 7?

Can anyone help with any suggestion to prevent users from being able to see and browse the network in this way?

I scoured the group policies, but I have not been able to track down a setting that will allow me to control this behavior.

I disabled the network discovery and I have also disabled the following computer policy:
Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the IO of the Mapper (LLTDIO) driver

Computer configuration administrative-->> network-->> Link templates-->> - Layer Topology Discovery-->> activate the answering machine driver (RSPNDR)

I'm now hacks out of ideas other than the registry to turn off the navigation pane in the open/save dialog box, but I already know of one application that we use does not respect the windows way of doing things so that the network will still be visible through this application.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As I posted yesterday, I solved this by a pretty messy workaround. It is to import registry fragments set some properties of the Solution Explorer and using a custom ADM template to show and hide items in the open/save dialog boxes. It took a lot of time to work this out and it's not ideal - but it works at an acceptable level.

Group Policy settings that are supposed to control this behavior (as I said in my original question) are "no entire network in network locations" and "no computers near me in network locations", but these policies are supported on "Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems only" - it seems (to my surprise) no equivalent Windows 7 workstations. I tried to define these policies in case there has been an error in the description - but these settings have not been respected on the desktop.

I posted this in several other places - another microsoft site and several other sites and have not found information on the relevant group policy settings.

As I said - I found a workaround for this thread can be resolved/closed - but repost in another forum management should not be marked as an answer, because it does not help people who find this thread at a later date. I can reach some fragments of registry (for later import with a startup script or group policy preferences) and the appropriate adm templates if moderators think that here would be useful.

    Thanks for your response in advance.

    Sandra,

    As stated by Craig Administrator's Guide is a good option.

    Let me give you a few steps I did in one of my projects.

    Open the command prompt and navigate to the location "C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\batch-client"... here you can see many see as well other utilities.

    DRM-batch-customer - credentials.exe is the one that is used to encrypt the user name and password.

    Open this in the command prompt and choose the application that you want to encrypt the password.

    then remove the username and password from command script can run it... It does what you want

  • How to hide the address bar when windows 'popup' fullscreening?

    Video player Sky TV has an implementation of bad full screen - you can make the player go true fullscreen, but it comes back when he loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.

    The best solution I found is to use their 'pop-out' reader, which opens a new "popup" - style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc) and I can't then full screen window itself (not the player). This allows me to hide

    -the outline of the window
    -the title bar of window
    -Windows Start menu

    and it remains enlarged when it loses focus.

    However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a larger window of Firefox at the normal address this slides out of sight after a short period. locked style "popup" window is not.

    On the offchance that treat differently the "pop-up" windows is a deliberate... Firefox security policy can I disable it?

    Well, this is embarrassing.

    I went to try to settle the dom.disable_window_open_feature.location from true to false.

    However, before doing so, I noticed that the address bar of the popup window was now floating as usual.

    I'll keep an eye on it in case it stops again, but for chalk now it up to the stupidity of the user.

  • How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

    I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

    I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
    However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

    Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

    Any help is appreciated.

    You cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile.

    1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
    2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
    3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings
    4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
    5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

    If you want to access your account again, it is corrected automatically, follow these steps:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.

    This "menu" is called Developer toolbar.
    It is visible only when you login to APEX Builder and run your application.
    So it won't be visible to end users.

  • How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

    I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

    Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

    Thank you.

    Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

    Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

  • How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

    How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

    1. 1

      Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.

    2. 2

      Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.

    3. 3

      If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.

    4. 4

      Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.

    5. 5

      The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.

    6. 6

      The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.

      • If you have already backed up all important data on this user account, you can safely click on 'delete files '.
      • If you do not, you must click "keep files".
