Disabling Add/Remove Programs Access

   I need a little help with a script. I'm new.

The script need to wright a reg key and a dword.
Disable Current User: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall

Disable All Users:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninstall
Create a new DWORD value named NoAddRemovePrograms
Set the value to 1 to disable Add/Remove Programs
Set the value to 0 to re-enable Add/Remove Programs

I have checked the reg on my computer and under KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies ther is no uninstall so uninstall would have to be wrote along with the DWORD

Can i use set registry value to wright the HKEY or DWORD?
 I know i can use the set registry value to set dword values.
any help would be nice

	Bobby, I have created 2 scripts for you, one to enable and another to disable. Scripts have been posted on the servers under Misc -> Disable Add/Remove Programs and Misc-> Enable Add/Remove Programs. After running a the script, you will need to reboot in order for it to work. As always please test on a few machines before doing any large deployments.
