| Sample command to reset security settings
| Note After security settings are applied, you cannot undo the changes
| without restoring from a backup. If you are uncertain about resetting your
| security settings back to the default security settings, you must make a
| complete backup that includes the "System State" (the registry files).
Items
| that are reset include NTFS file system files and folders, the registry,
| policies, services, privilege rights, and group membership.
|
| To reset your operating system back to original installation default
| security settings:
| 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
| 2. Type secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db
| secsetup.sdb /verbose, and then press ENTER. You receive a "Task is
| completed" message, and a warning message that something could not be
done.
| You can safely ignore this message. For more information about this
message,
| view the %windir%\Security\Logs\Scesrv.log file.

|
| Secedit parameters
| .
| /configure - Specifies that Secedit.exe should set system security
settings.
| . /DB filename - Provides the path to a database that contains the
security
| template to be applied. This is a required argument, but the database file
| does not have to exist if you use the /CFG switch to specify a security
| template.
| . /CFG filename - This argument is only valid when you use it with the /DB
| parameter. It is the path to the security template that will be imported
into
| the database and applied to the system. If you do not specify this
argument,
| the template that is already stored in the database will be applied.
| . /overwrite - This argument is only valid when the /CFG argument is also
| used. This specifies whether the security template in the /CFG argument
| overwrites any template or composite template that is stored in the
database
| instead of appending the results to the stored template. If this is not
| specified, the template in the /CFG argument will be appended to the
stored
| template.
| . /areas AreaName1AreaName2... Specifies the security areas to be applied
to
| the system. The default is "all areas." Each area must be separated by a
| space.
|
| AreaNameX - Description
|
| SECURITYPOLICY - Local policy and domain policy for the system, including
| account policies, audit policies, and other policies.
|
| GROUP_MGMT - Restricted group settings for any groups that are specified
in
| the security template.
|
| USER_RIGHTS - User logon rights and granting of privileges.
|
| REGKEYS - Security on local registry keys.
|
| FILESTORE - Security on local file storage.
|
| SERVICES - Security for all defined services.
|
| Note Each of these areas coincide with similar names in the Security
| Template.
| . /log logpath - You can use this switch to configure the location of the
| log file that tracks the changes.
| . /verbose - Specifies more detailed progress information.
| . /quiet - Minimize the amount of feedback that is provided during the
| update on the screen and in the log file.
| For online help about Secedit, click Start, click Run, type
| %windir%\help\secedit.chm, and then press ENTER.
|
| Could someone please explain to me how to use this code, what I should
| replace to make this run on my windows xp?
