Disable Secure Mode

[jbphillips1]

Is there a way to programmatically disable Secure Mode? This option is found by right-clicking the system tray icon and selecting Options.

Additional Information:
OS - Win2K Pro
Virtual DAEMON Manager - DAEMON Tools 4.08HE
SPTD-driver - SPTD 1.38

Thank you for your time.

Of course not. What sense would be in such mode if anyone could disable it programmatically? It must be disabled only by user.

I would love a way to disable that feature thru a script or by command line. I am using the new silent setup feature of 4.08 to do an unattended install. I have setup batch files that allow my users to double click an icon that mounts an iso using the command line. ex: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\myiso.iso"

When the user runs these icons, they get the "Secure mode confirmation for command line: ..." message. I understand that this is a security feature, but I need to shut it off on each computer in order to make things nicer for my end users. I have the silent install working, I just need to also auto disable this secure mode feature.

Is there a reg line somewhere I can edit?

Thank you very much for your time!

Is there any way to make a batch file that
1:loads a cd
2:plays software
3:then unmounts
all without going into that tray or searchbar every time you boot windows?

If I can disable it by a command line, fine. If I can somehow make a file read only so that my settings stay permanent, fine. Anything will do that will make it work like a normal batch file, I'll be perfectly satisfied, as long as I don't have to change a setting EVERY TIME I boot windows.

Easy there ß... Remember, you had your 1st post once too on a new forum. Don't worry though, I'm not a newbie.
I was answering VeNoM386's question of, "What sense would be in such mode" with my scenario. So, think of my statement as a feature request.
If you read my post carefully, you should have noticed that I do understand that "It must be disabled only by user".
"I understand that this is a security feature, but I need to shut it off on each computer in order to make things nicer for my end users."
I believe I gave VeNoM386 the perfect reason why some of us would love the ability to turn off the secure mode feature.
VeNoM386, even if there was a second version that had the ability to turn off the security mode by command prompt; that would be GREAT! When I initially was searching for an answer on this forum, I ran across lots of users interested in this ability. It sounds to me like this would be a much appreciated additional feature.
So, VeNoM386, please add my request as a feature request if you would.
Thank you,

Absolutly austin2359,

Here is a sample of one of my batch files I use to mount educational games from a network drive.

@echo off
set gameiso=math.iso
set gamefolder=Mighty Math Carnival Countdown
set gamepath=f:\apps\games\

if exist "c:\program files\daemon tools\daemon.exe" goto ready
echo Error: Daemon Tools is not installed or working correctly.
echo Please install Daemon Tools and disable Secure Mode.
pause
goto end

:ready
echo    Please wait while the game loads...
"c:\program files\daemon tools\daemon.exe" -unmount 0
"c:\program files\daemon tools\daemon.exe" -mount 0,"%gamepath%%gamefolder%\%gameiso%"

:end
echo Bye

My iso's all contain an autorun.inf file that starts the game as soon as the iso's mounted. If you wanted/needed to start an application after the iso is mounted you would just add the line to execute your file right above the ":end" line.

Example:
c:\windows\notepad.exe
or you can use the start command to call executables if you would like some more options. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126410
start /max c:\windows\notepad.exe

Hope this helps.
