Quick overview:
Not only the new Windows XP is known for its secret spying on the user, no, Windows 2000 also has a file that collects system information and in some cases sends it to Microsoft. Nobody can yet confirm whether there is any truth to this rumor - but it is always advisable to remove this file completely from the system.
1. In the Start menu, click on Execute and enter in the command line REGSVR32 /U C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\regwizc.dll in.
2. As soon as you click on OK a message appears confirming that the spying file has been removed from the system and is inactive.
NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
