HOWTO: disable windows recovery
If your supplier modified your windows recovery console to automatically wipe your disk clean, you'll probably want to disable windows recovery from advanced boot options menu [f8] and other custom keyboard hooks such as [f11].
These might give you some clues how to do it:
bcdedit /deletevalue recoverysequence
bcdedit /set recoveryenabled no
bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} customactions
bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} custom:5400000f
bcdedit /set recoveryenabled no
bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} customactions
bcdedit /deletevalue {bootmgr} custom:5400000f
(hint: check bcdedit /enum all for other references)
The day I failed at googling
I've accidentally created one small piece of WTF! code yesterday, while hacking some c++ / windows mobile mail checker utility.
I wanted to synchronize mailbox in pocket outlook, but for some unknown reason I missed one simple and elegant solution...
Just compare:
tmail.exe -service "netvor.sk" -sync
with my original CEMAPI solution...
