Disable Task Manager in Windows 7?


Manual Registry Hack

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then navigate down to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System


On the right-hand side is a 32-bit REG_DWORD value named DisableTaskMgr with one of two values:

  • 1 – Disable task manager
  • 0 – Enable task manager
Just double-click and change the value, or even delete the key. The change should take place immediately.

Disable Windows Update Reboot


Do you know that windows servers do not take any reboot to install the automatic updates. They are configured to no any reboot after any automatic updates otherwise it will cause problems to the users by halting their services.

we can also disable windows update reboot in Windows 7 
Here it is..




Before we get started, i would like to state, that this should only be used for an emergency situation. It’s a bad practice to use this for production machines, however we have all been in the situation where we just CANNOT reboot. (especially if you have yet to move to server core).

open up the registry editor “regedit” from a command prompt:
navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\


delete the key folder named “reboot required” and delete the registry key.
from there open the local computer “services”

How to Change the Logon Screen on Windows 7

This time around, I am going to show you how to customize the Windows 7 login screen. There are various methods to accomplish this, with and without third-party software. I totally believe on hands on approach so, lets see.

This method will require you to modify the registry
.
Step 1: Open the Windows Start menu and enter regedit into the search bar.

Step 2: Go to the Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background.

Now  add a new DWORD value with the name OEMBackground. 

Step 3: Double click on the entry OEMBackground, and change the value from 0 to 1.  


Step 5: Open Windows Explorer and go to the following path: windows\system32\oobe\info\backgrounds.

Step 6: Create a new folder named info, and open it.

Step 7: Create a new folder within info named backgrounds.

Step 8: Rename your desired wallpaper as backgroundDefault.jpg and place it inside the folder
backgrounds (images must be less than 245KB in size).

 

That should do the trick, now just lock your PC, log off or reboot and enjoy.
