Windows 10: Need help with my HideDropbox.bat file

Hello,

I'm getting rather annoyed by the UAC thing popping up on startup every time my HideDropbox.bat file runs and was hoping someone could help me remake it into one that automatically authorises UAC to it. I remember it being possible because someone once did it a while back on another site, but it's been so long I don't remember what website it was or what the specifics were of the new .bat file needed for it.


Here is a file containing both my current HideDropbox.bat file and my current HideDropbox.reg file that it uses. Mind the file is in .rar format because well WinRAR, lol...

Rolling back to Windows 7 from Windows 10, then back to 10 when support for 7 ends.

1. Go back to Windows 7 or go back to the previous build?

2. Did you purchase the refurbished computer on 10 January, first use it on 10 January, or did the refurbisher (I assume) "install" Win10 on 10 January?

3a. Where did you purchased the refurbished computer?

3b. Do you know who refurbished it?

4. What Windows 10 Version & OS Build is currently installed?

Press & hold the Windows Key and press the R
key. In the RUN dialog, type WINVER and press the Enter key.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Comments:

• IMHO you can't trust the security of any used computer unless & until YOU have formatted the HDD & then done a clean install of Windows (or paid someone - not the supposed "refurbisher" - to do it for you).
  
• Mom's prolly better off sticking with Win10. Learning new stuff is good for her! <wink>

We purchased the computer from a Comprenew store on January 18, but the date on the OS install was January 10. We just activated the software on the 18th. Comprenew recycles old electronics etc. and is a certified Microsoft refurbisher. I am not positive
which build is installed, but I can find it when I get over there. It looks like we have lots of help here to figure things out... all is tremendously appreciated. And... yes....it is good for her to learn new stuff, so we are trying to encourage her to
learn the "new" Windows OS. We'll see what happens. Thanks again! Oh yeah, I do need to double check if it says go back to Windows7 or previous build...thanks for that. I've been looking at too many computers lately... can't remember which one says
what. :[

 

Information from calender missing after updating to version 1709

Hi, and thanks. There were only about 10 or so events with a couple paragraphs of notes on each event. The syncing process was taking hours. Something isn't right. I'm pretty sure it's not a bandwidth issue. The same message keeps coming up stating "We're
not able to show you some events in this time frame. But They're still there-via your account provider." What exactly does that mean. It sounds like it should be a simple fix. Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? I really need this info.

One other thing, as you can see, there does not appear to be another restore point prior to the 1709 update. All attempts failed.

Thank you very much! That worked great! I just have one more issue now. It seems the cmd window it runs at startup doesn't automatically close itself out upon applying the .bat file. Is there a workaround for that? Perhaps a way to make it close itself out or, if not, possibly a way to make it run in the background so I won't have to manually close out the cmd window?
