Topic and solution applies to Windows in general for some time now
May 29, 2018 at 0:35 comment added Wowfunhappy @JonnyLeeds It says a lot about the state of Windows that hacking executable permissions to stop them from running could be considered safer than just changing the setting.

Oct 15, 2014 at 10:28 comment added JonnyRaa @GlennG not sure I agree - the registry is a strange and mysterious place - just mucking around with a few file permissions seems a lot simpler to me... although if it does indeed get reset by windows update I might try this
May 14, 2014 at 7:46 comment added user541686 -1 bad idea. AtBroker.exe starts every time you press the shortcut and keeps on running, sometimes hogging 100% CPU (at least on Win 8.1). Instead, do the same thing for AtBroker.exe.
Nov 21, 2013 at 11:13 comment added GlennG This should be the right answer IMHO -- doesn't require hacking files.
