Hey Jenda, I am still trying to figure out the syntax/structure, etc of Perl but I figured it out. Here is my simple script..
#!path\to\perl\ use Win32::Registry $HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->DeleteValue($AutoShareWks); Win32::Registry::DeleteValue('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSe t\Services\lanmanserver\parameters', $AutoShareWks); If someone has something different (easier or harder) let me know....

Possibly a tutorial for > doing this in perl. Install the Win32::Registry2 patch from http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz/#Win32::Registry2 and read the docs. (The patch will become the next version of the module if a new version of libwin32 ever gets released.) Another option is Win32::TieRegistry. You can restart the computer by use Win32; Win32::InitiateSystemShutdown( undef, "The machine goes down dudes.", 10, 0, 1); See perldoc Win32 HTH, Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
