I pointed outwas adding numbers to designate the lines. The un-numbered
text was already posted but likely word-wrap'd in their preferred
newsreader, web interface, etc. Therefore I posted it without and with -
the with was so they would know how to correct the without after copying and
pasting.
As for your other comment about the last line...
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377
The KB article above has the script and the article is for Microsoft Windows
XP Service Pack 3... However - you are correct. That line would be for
Windows Vista...
The Windows XP Line should be:
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose

Good catch.
