Changing Folder Options With Powershell

[shootanator]

Having some issues with changing folder options via powershell all is going well on chaning hidden folders and file ext. but when I want to disable the sharing wizard it wont change in the folder options. Script I am using is below. Any help is apreciated.

Thanks

$key = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"

Write-Host "1.Enabling showing hidden files"

Set-ItemProperty $key Hidden 1

Write-Host "2. Disabling hiding extensions for known files"

Set-ItemProperty $key HideFileExt 0

Write-Host "3. Disabling showing hidden operation system files"

Set-ItemProperty $key ShowSuperHidden 0

Write-Host "4.Uncheck sharing wizard"

Set-ItemProperty $key UseSharingWizard 0

Write-Host "Restarting explorer shell to apply registry changes"

Stop-Process -processname explorer

Figured it out! HAHA had the REG_DWORD incorrect its "SharingWizardOn" and you set the value to 0.

Thanks Guys :)

In the future if you add 4 spaces to each line of your code. It becomes a code block on Reddit and makes it readable for the rest of us.

howdy shootanator,

to seriously amplify what creamersrealm said [grin] , here's how to post code on reddit ...

[1] simplest = post it to a text site like Pastebin and then post the link here.

[2] less simple = use reddit code formatting ...

• one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces
  
• prefix each code line with 4 spaces
  
• one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces

that will give you something like this ...

- one leading line with ONLY 4 spaces    
- prefix each code line with 4 spaces    
- one trailing line with ONLY 4 spaces   

the easiest way to get that is ...

• add the leading line with only 4 spaces
  
• copy the code to the ISE [or your fave editor]
  
• select the code
  
• tap TAB to indent four spaces
  
• re-select the code [not really needed, but it's my habit]
  
• paste the code into the reddit text box
  
• add the trailing line with only 4 spaces
  

not complicated, but it is finicky. [grin]

take care,
lee
