Hello I was wondering how I could remove the ‘SysKey’ command from both Command Prompt and Run. I don’t wanna remove Command Prompt and Run completely, just the SysKey Command. For example, if a scammer were to open Command Prompt or Run and typed in ‘SysKey’ an error would come up, not allowing them to run the command. Thanks!
Just go to \Windows\System32 and rename syskey.exe to syskey.old
Syskey when used, will ask for a floppy disk to be inserted. A phone scammer can't do that.
Note, you can't possibly find and block everything a scammer will do. There are hundreds of legitimate commands which can be mis-used to harm your system.
