    This bag of tricks may help stop a ransomware infection

    This "trick" does not stop just Locky, but most of the malware and common users are not limited by it.

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings" /v "Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    I like this! What do I write into either a REG or BAT file that does this? Thanks!

    Sorry I don't completely understand what you wrote. I opened the registry, went to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings

    With Settings highlighted, on the right side, I created a new DWORD 32-bit and named it Enabled, then gave it a value of 0 (zero). Is that right?

    I think I could re-install Windows faster than deploying this 'bag of tricks' properly.

    Into the BAT exactly that line above, into the REG, see bellow.

    Yes, that is it.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings]
    "Enabled"=dword:00000000

    The trick is to have all your personal files (the ones you care about) on a second drive so if you are hit, you can just format and clean install.
