HKEY_CURRENT_USER> Software> Microsoft> Windows> CurrentVersion> Policies> Explorer
EnforceShellExtensionSecurity REG_DWORD 0 | 1
Default: 0
If the value of this entry is 1, WindowsNT loads only the shell extensions listed in the Approved subkey (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Approved).
Notes

By default, the Approved subkey can be changed only by an Administrator.

ValueMeaning
0Default and user-defined desktop elements appear on the desktop and can be used.
1All default and user-defined desktop elements, including Briefcase, Recycle Bin, My Computer, and Network Neighborhood, are hidden.

NoDriveAutoRun REG_DWORD 0x0 - 0x3FFFFFF bitmapped value
Default: 0x0
Determines whether the autorun feature is enabled on each drive connected to the system. When autorun is enabled, media is started automatically when it is inserted in the drive. This value is comprised of 32 bits. The lower 26 bits each represent a drive, with the lowest (right-most) bit representing drive A and the 26th bit from the right representing drive Z. If a bit is set to 0, then the autorun feature is enabled on that drive. If a bit is set to 1, the autorun feature is disabled on that drive.
For example, if the value of this entry is 0x8 (1000 binary), autorun is disabled on drive D.
Note
WindowsNT does not add this value entry to the Registry. You can add it by editing the Registry or by using a program to add it. A value of 1 in the bit representing the CD-ROM drive takes precedence over the value of Autorun.
NoDrives REG_DWORD 32-bit word
Default: 0
Hides local and network drives selectively. When you hide a drive, the icon representing the drive does not appear in My Computer, WindowsNT Explorer, or Network Neighborhood, and the drive letter does not appear as a choice in the Open dialog box of applications. This can protect certain drives, including the floppy disk drive, from misuse and it can direct users to save their work to certain drives. The lower 26 bits in this value correspond to the 26 letters used to identify drives on the local computer and its network. The rightmost bit represents drive A; the 26th bit from the right represents drive Z. To hide a drive, set the bit that corresponds to its drive letter to 1. To display a drive, set the bit that corresponds to its drive letter to 0. To hide all 26 drives, set the value to 67108863 (decimal) or 0x3FFFFFF (hexadecimal).
✗ Warning
This value does not prevent users from using other programs, such as File Manager (Winfile.exe) to access local and network drives. Drives that you hide by using this value entry still appear in and are accessible from File Manager.
Notes
To change this value, select or clear Hide drives in My Computer in System Policy Editor.

Enabling DesktopProcess can interfere with the functions of Windows Explorer if the computer is not equipped to run all processes efficiently. Do not set the value of DesktopProcess to 1 unless the computer has a Pentium processor (or equivalent) and at least 16 MB of physical random access memory.

Windows NT does not add this value to the Registry. You can add it by editing the Registry or by using a program that edits the Registry.
Tip
To verify that DesktopProcess is enabled, use the Processes tab in Task Manager. If the value of DesktopProcess is 1, then at least two instances of the Explorer.exe process should appear in the list of processes (one for the Desktop and Taskbar and one for Windows NT Explorer). For each additional instance of Windows NT Explorer, a new instance of Explorer.exe should appear in the list of processes.
Launch Folder Windows in a Separate Process (Windows NT/2000)
This setting controls whether each folder window is launched as a separate explorer task. The benefit of this method is that if one window has an error and crashes the others should be not be affected. The disadvantage is that it takes more system resources for each folder.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, named "SeparateProcess" and set it to "0" to disable separate processes or "1" to enable them.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

AutoAdminLogon REG_SZ 0 | 1
Disabled, Default: 0

ValueMeaning
0Disables automatic logon.

Notes
Automatic logon requires that DefaultDomainName, DefaultUserName, and DefaultPassword appear in the Registry with valid values. WindowsNT adds DefaultDomainName and DefaultUserName to the Registry, but you must add DefaultPassword using a Registry editor or another program that edits the Registry.
You must log off WindowsNT and shut down the computer before changes to this value entry take effect.
Allowing / dis-allowing Only Logged-On Users to Shut Down Computer (NT)
Normally, you can shut down a computer running Windows NT Workstation without logging on by choosing Shutdown in the Logon dialog box. This is appropriate where the computer’s operational switches can be accessed by users; otherwise, they might tend to turn off the computer’s power or reset it without properly shutting down Windows NT Workstation. However, you can remove this feature if the CPU is locked away. (This step is not required for Windows NT Server, because it is configured this way by default.)
To require users to log on before shutting down the computer, use the Registry Editor to create or assign the following Registry key value of 0 (value of 1 allows shutdown):
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE
Key: >Microsoft> Windows NT> Current Version> Winlogon
Name: ShutdownWithoutLogon
Type: REG_SZ
Value: 0
The changes will take effect the next time the computer is started. You might want to update the Emergency Repair Disk to reflect these changes.
