WINS

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where the registry settings are to enable or disable WINS on a 95 machine?
Thanks

I can't tell you exactly where they are but I can tell you a method to find <any> registry key. (I'd use the method below to find out for you but I'm running 98 and it's probably in a different place to in 95)

1. Run REGEDIT and export the whole regisrty to a file, say C:\REG.REG
2. Make the change you're trying to find the key for, e.g. Disable WINS in IP Config. Don't Reboot if it asks you to.
3. Run REGEDIT again and export the whole thing to a second file, say C:\REG2.REG
4. Drop into DOS and type in this command:
fc C:\REG.REG C:\REG2.REG >C:\REG.TXT

This will do a file compare on the first two files and send the differences it finds to the third file. Edit the third file in notepad and you should be able to find the changed keys. I use that to find reg keys all the time.

May help, may not!

I would just like to say what excellent advice that is, and is more or less what I would have said....except for the no reboot part. I always do a full reboot in case things get shifted around then. So I would be interested to be told why I am wrong on this (seriously - my way takes longer and is often not convenient to reboot so I hope I am wrong!!!).
please reply with your reasoning.
