For example, user 1 can&#8217;t run Microsoft Word, user 2 can not run Microsoft Excel, etc. &#8230; So, if your computer users can&#8217;t run all the software in the computer, it makes your computer be more secure<span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p>And I am set the configuration of restriction from registry. As you know registry is Windows configuration collection. But be careful; don&#8217;t restrict the important softwares that may be disturbing your system.</p>
<ol>
<li> Open Registry Editor, click <strong>Start</strong> -&gt; <strong>Run</strong> menu and then type <code>regedit</code> then press Enter.<br />
<img title="Open Registry Editor" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/general/run-dialog-regedit.jpg" alt="Open Registry Editor" /></li>

<li> Right click at right panel then choose <strong>New</strong> -&gt; <strong>DWORD key</strong>, and replace the value with <strong>DisallowRun</strong>.<br />
<img title="Disallow value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/dissalow_3.jpg" alt="Disallow value" /></li>
<li> Double click <strong>DisallowRun</strong> value and change the value from <strong>0</strong> to <strong>1</strong>.<br />
<img title="Edit Disallow value data" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/edit_disallow_4.jpg" alt="Edit Disallow value data" /></li>
<li> And you must be look the result like picture below.<br />

<li> Right click again on empty space and choose <strong>New</strong> -&gt; <strong>Key</strong> menu then give it name <strong>DisallowRun</strong>.<br />
<img title="Disallow Run key" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/key_disallow_6.jpg" alt="Disallow Run key" /></li>
<li> Highlight <strong>DisallowRun </strong>key and right click on the right panel and choose <strong>String Value</strong>.<br />
<img title="New string value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/new_string_7.jpg" alt="New string value" /></li>
<li> Give it name with whatever you want name then double click it and in textbox write down then filename of software that you want restricted, for example if I want restrict Microsoft Word, I type <strong>winword.exe</strong>.<br />
<img title="Example the restricted program" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/aplikasi_8.jpg" alt="Example of value data" /></li>
<li> And appearance of registry will look like picture below.<br />
<img title="Example the restricted program" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0090/aplikasi_9.jpg" alt="Example of value data" /></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptrick101/0119/logo.jpg" alt="Logo" title="Logo" align="left" />I have been writing article about hide clock at sys tray through taskbar properties. And that’s an easy way to hide or show it, so do the other users. So if you want to make it safer, hide it through Windows registry.<span id="more-35"></span><br />
Like usual, if you want to change the registry value, you’ll need to open Registry Editor first.<br />
1. To open Registry Editor, click <strong>Start – Run</strong> menu, type <code>regedit</code> in text box and then press Enter key.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/general/run-dialog-regedit.jpg" alt="Open Registry Editor" title="Open Registry Editor" /></p>
<p>2. In Registry Editor, drive to <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Policies | Explorer</code> path.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptrick101/0119/policies_explorer_1.jpg" alt="Policies folder" title="Policies folder" /></p>
<p>3. In that path, find key: <code>HideClock</code> if you don’t find it. To create <code>HideClock</code> key, right click on right panel, choose <strong>New – DWORD</strong> value menu and then change the new value name to HideClock. Then change its value to 1 by double click it and then in Value data: box to 1 and then click <strong>OK </strong>button.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptrick101/0119/change_value_2.jpg" alt="Change value" title="Change value" /></p>
<p>then your Registry Editor will be like picture below.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptrick101/0119/hide_clock_3.jpg" alt="Registry result" title="Registry result" /></p>
<p>4. Restart your computer and then look at your systray. Your clock is gone.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptrick101/0119/result_4.jpg" alt="Result" title="Result" /></p>
<p>You can&#8217;t reactivate clock through taskbar properties because its radio check is disabled.<br />
To show it again, just change the <code>HideClock</code> value to 0 or delete that key.<br />

As you know that Registry Editor is a gate that can change the all your Windows registry value. It means if somebody want to destroy your Windows XP just open Registry Editor and change the important. So I want to share the trick to disable or enable Registry Editor with one click&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-29"></span><br />
There are so many tricks to enable / disable Registry Editor but I think this trick is easy enough to do that although we need to writing a script to first time but after your script has done then it&#8217;s be easier, we will use the Visual Basic Script language here.</p>
<p>OK, follow this trick:<br />
1. Open Notepad (or your favorite text editor) to type the script via <strong>Start &#8211; Run</strong> menu and type <code>notepad</code> in textbox then click OK button or press Enter<br />
key.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/general/start-run-notepad.jpg" alt="Open notepad" title="Open notepad" /></p>
<p>2. And type the script like this:</p>
<pre name="code" class="vb">
Dim otakatik
ManageRegedit()
Sub ManageRegedit()
Set otakatik=WScript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
describe="Type 0 or 1 : " &amp; VbCrLf &amp;_
             "[0] -&gt; Enable Regedit." &amp; VbCrLf &amp;_
             "[1] -&gt; Disable Regedit."

question=InputBox(describe, "Edit Regedit",0)
otakatik.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &amp;_
                        "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools",question,"REG_DWORD"

If question=1 Then
   MsgBox "Registry is disabled.",VbInformation, "Disabled"
Else
   If question=0 Then
      Msgbox "Registry is enabled.",VbInformation, "Enabled"
      otakatik.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" &amp;_
                                "\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"
   Else
      Msgbox "Input 0 or 1 only !",VbInformation, "Wrong Input"
      ManageRegedit()
   End If
End If
End Sub</pre>
<p>You can copy and paste to your notepad.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/type_script_1.jpg" alt="Type script" title="Typing the script" /></p>
<p>3. Save it, click <strong>File &#8211; Save As</strong>.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/save_as_2.jpg" alt="Save As" title="Save As" /></p>
<p>4. Change <strong>Save As Type</strong> to <strong>All Files</strong> and give it the name <code>regedit.vbs</code> (or whatever you want but the extension has to <code>vbs</code>).<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/give_file_name_3.jpg" alt="Save As Type" title="Change type of file" /></p>
<p>5. Then make sure that you have the right file name format, you can see it on Notepad title bar.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/saved_4.jpg" alt="Make sure" title="Ensuring that you have the right file name" /></p>
<p>6. Open your folder that containing <code>regedit.vbs</code> file.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/open_folder_vbs_5.jpg" alt="Open vbs folder" title="Open folder which contains vbs file" /></p>
<p>7. Double click that file and <strong>Edit Regedit</strong> window will opened.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/edit_regedit_6.jpg" alt="Edit Regedit window" title="Edit regedit" /></p>
<p>8. If you fill the textbox with value 0, Registry Editor will enable to open.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/registry_enable_7.jpg" alt="Message box" title="Registry is enabled" /></p>
<p>9. But if you fill it with value 1,<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/type_value_1_8.jpg" alt="Typing value to 1" title="Typing value to 1" /></p>
<p>Registry Editor will disable to open.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/reg_disable_9.jpg" alt="Message box" title="Registry is disabled" /></p>
<p>10. Now, try to open your Registry Editor and you will get a notification that Registry Editor is disabled.<br />
<img src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0085/msgbox_10.jpg" alt="Message box" title="Registry is disabled" /></p>

Every time we&#8217;re opening program, the program doesn&#8217;t load the .exe file only, it calls its all library files to memory as well. Unfortunately, by default Windows XP doesn&#8217;t always unload the library file from memory when we close the program that using that .dll file. So, I will share a little trick to unload the library files from memory when the programs don&#8217;t need them anymore.<br />
<span id="more-22"></span><br />
OK, we will change our registry value for it, just follow these steps:<br />
1. Open your Registry Editor, click <strong>Start &#8211; Run</strong> menu and then type <code>regedit</code> in the textbox.<br />
<img title="Regedit in textbox" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/general/run-dialog-regedit.jpg" alt="Regedit" /></p>
<p>2. After Registry Editor has opened,<br />
<img title="Registry Editor is open" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/open_regedit_1.jpg" alt="Opened Registry Editor" /></p>
<p>point your cursor to registry path : <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer</code>.<br />
<img title="Registry path" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/registry_path_2.jpg" alt="Registry path" /></p>
<p>3. Find the <code>AlwaysUnloadDLL</code> key, if you can&#8217;t find it just create it by right click on empty space on right panel Registry Editor and the click <strong>New &#8211; DWORD value</strong>.<br />
<img title="New DWORD value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/general/new_dword_value.jpg" alt="New DWORD value" /></p>
<p>4. Type <code>AlwaysUnloadDLL</code> for new key and then press ENTER key.<br />
<img title="A new key" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/new_key_3.jpg" alt="New key" /></p>
<p>5. Double click on <code>AlwaysUnloadDLL</code> to change its value.</p>
<p>6. After Edit DWORD value window appear<br />
<img title="Edit DWORD value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/edit_dword_4.jpg" alt="Edit key" /></p>
<p>replace the original value 0 with 1 and then click OK button.<br />
<img title="Replace value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/replace_value_5.jpg" alt="Replace value" /></p>
<p>7. The value of <code>AlwaysUnloadDLL</code> key will change.<br />
<img title="Changed value" src="http://www.otakatik.com/wp-content/uploads/tiptricks/0059/result_window_6.jpg" alt="Changed value" /></p>
