Did you want to use vbscript? The code you posted is for a bat or cmd file. I'm not sure which direction you would like to go in. The registry settings for the two items are listed below.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
Value Name: ForceGuest
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disable "Simple File Sharing", 1 = enable "Simple File Sharing")
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
Value Name: NoFileSharing
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = enable file sharing, 1 = disable file sharing)
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
Value Name: NoPrintSharing
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = enable print sharing, 1 = disable print sharing)

Sorry, it does not matter which solution I use. I failed to notice that I was using a cmd file, but that is what it is. Can you code the reg changes so that I can add it to the existing cmd file?

Well, in keeping with the CMD file, the answer is right in front of you. Just add the following to your current file.

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" /v "ForceGuest" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > NUL 2>&1
 
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network" /v "NoFileSharing" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > NUL 2>&1
 
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network" /v "NoPrintSharing" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f > NUL 2>&1

jasenwebster...Simple file sharing is disabling, but the reg entries are not turning on File and Print Sharing.
