Purpose

Reason

First Commandment: No Short 8.3 Filenames

Short 8.3 filenames are a (completely superfluous) cruft from the past of MS-DOS ...

Windows PE

Setup.exe /NoReboot
FSUtil.exe 8Dot3Name Set ‹drive letter›: 1
FSUtil.exe 8Dot3Name Strip /F /S ‹drive letter›:\

...

Second Commandment: Strict Privilege Separation

Activate the builtin Administrator user account, as documented in the TechNet article Enable and Disable the Built-in Administrator Account, then demote the user account created during Windows setup from (protected) administrator to standard user. ...

"%SystemRoot%\System32\Net.exe" USER Administrator /Active:Yes /PasswordReq:Yes
"%SystemRoot%\System32\Net.exe" LOCALGROUP Administrators "%USERNAME%" /Delete
"%SystemRoot%\System32\Net.exe" LOCALGROUP Users "%USERNAME%" /Add

qUACkery ... to disable UAC from silent (automatic) elevation in the ~~user~~ protected administrator account created during Windows Setup, and to disable elevation in (unprivileged) standard user accounts, as documented in the TechNet article UAC Group Policy Settings and Registry Key Settings.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000002
"ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000000

REGEDIT4

; Disable 'Standard Users' in 'Safe Mode' (KB977542)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"SafeModeBlockNonAdmins"=dword:00000001

Separate the system’s (shared) TEMP directory from that of the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM alias LocalSystem user account:

MkDir "%SystemRoot%\System32\Config\SystemProfile\AppData\Local\Temp"
If Exist "%SystemRoot%\SysWoW64\Config\SystemProfile" MkDir "%SystemRoot%\SysWoW64\Config\SystemProfile\AppData\Local\Temp"
"%SystemRoot%\System32\SetX.exe" TEMP "%%USERPROFILE%%\AppData\Local\Temp" /M
"%SystemRoot%\System32\SetX.exe" TMP "%%USERPROFILE%%\AppData\Local\Temp" /M

Set the attributes hidden, read-only and system on the system’s (shared) Temp directory %SystemRoot%\Temp\ to prevent File Explorer from trying to perform the permanent damage documented in the MSKB article 950934:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\Attrib.exe" +H +R +S "%SystemRoot%\Temp"

Third Commandment: ...

MSKB article 2893294, the security bulletin MS13-098 and the security advisory Changes in Windows Authenticode Signature Verification

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\WinTrust\Config]

Fifth Commandment: ...

Although the NT Virtual DOS Machine is an optional component since Windows 8.1, it gets installed on-demand as soon as a 16-bit DOS or legacy Windows application is executed.

See the MSDN article Windows components installed on demand for details.

On 32-bit editions, create the Registry entries

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat]
"VDMDisallowed"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WoW]
