[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 788658, member: 32260"] I did not say that. [B]For 32-bit Windows the changes must be done in the key:[/B] HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings [B]For 64-bit Windows the changes must be done in the keys:[/B] [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings[/B][/COLOR] The first key is related to blocking (system wide) Windows Script Host for[COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B] 64-bit [/B][/COLOR]processes. The interpreters are: [COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)][B]c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe[/B][/COLOR] The second key is related to blocking (system wide) Windows Script Host for [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]32-bit processes on 64-bit[/B][/COLOR] Windows. The interpreters are: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]c:\windows\SysWOW64\wscript.exe c:\windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe[/B][/COLOR] On Windows 32-bit there are not registry keys with [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]WOW6432Node [/B][/COLOR][B]and there are not [/B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]c:\windows\SysWOW64 [/B][/COLOR][/B][/COLOR]folder[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)].[/COLOR][/COLOR] [B]The registry tweaks are only for the advanced users who understand well what they are doing.[/B] HKLM is the shortcut for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry hive. Edit For compatibility reasons, Microsoft keeps [B] c:\Windows\System32[/B] folder for the executables which are native to the Windows bitness (32-bit executables on 32-bit Windows, but also 64-bit executables on 64-bit Windows).
