List of Shell GUIDs for various Windows versions for use in shortcuts and batch files
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/09
In my search for starting the Windows Credential Manager from the console, I found [WayBack] Credential Manager Shortcut – Create – Windows 7 Help Forums explaining:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}
This reminded me of From batch file or shortcut: start Windows Update (via: Windows 7 Help Forums) and batch-file trick: Starting Windows Explorer and selecting a file (“explorer” commandline parameters “/n” “/e” “/select” “/root” “/start” site:microsoft.com).
The odd thing is that some of the GUID shortcuts works fine using the shell::: syntax, but fail with the /e:: syntax, for instance Windows Update until Windows 8.1:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
One day I’ll create a table of permutations for various Windows versions and execute options.

If adding a Windows machine to a Samba domain fails and the below “solves” your issue, then you need to tighten the security on the Samba side:

When you cannot RDP to a target because of “CredSSP-encryption Oracle remediation”: apply your target security patches.
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/06/29
If you get the below error, then your RDP target server needs to be patched.
You can choose to stay vulnerable and modify your policy or registry settings as explained in the first linked article below: that is a temporary “workaround” which I do not recommend. Please update your RDP target servers in stead.
English:
[Window Title] Remote Desktop Connection [Content] An authentication error has occurred. The function requested is not supported Remote computer: rdp.example.org This could be due to CredSSP-encryption Oracle remediation. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660 [OK]

What is Swapfile.sys and How Do You Delete It?
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/09
Windows 10 (and 8) include a new virtual memory file named swapfile.sys. It’s stored in your system drive, along with the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys. But why does Windows need both a swap file and a page file?
…
In summary, the swapfile — swapfile.sys — is currently used for swapping out Microsoft’s new style of app. Microsoft has called these universal apps, Windows Store apps, Metro apps, Modern apps, Windows 8 apps, Windows 8-style UI apps, and other things at various points.
