Yes, that should work fine. Windows 2000 and Windows XP apply thees settings in the same manner. The information below applies to both operating systems.

Hello,
I would like to reset ALL security settings on my W2K machine. I've read the info on MS Support but do not understand it completly.
Does the following command line work for W2K like it does for XP ?

(secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose)

If not, is there a VB script that works like that for W2K ?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as usual.....
Thanks very much in advance...
