Open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing
Double click on Policy in the right hand pane.
Set the Value Data to 0.
Click OK.
Close the Registry Editor.

Or you can save the following as a .reg file.

Open Notepad and paste this in...

----------------below this line----------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=dword:00000000

----------------above this line----------------------

Save the file as Somename.reg, double click Somename.reg and click YES to
the import prompt.

There are other ways also.

If by command you mean command line, try

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing" /v Policy /t
REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Thank you. I wanted to use command line.

But even though the registry was updated successfully, when i go to
controlpanel\system\hardware\driversigning in XP, the button for
"warn - ask every time" is still active.

I want it to be marked "Ignore...".

This because i want to autoinstall a driver package that should not give any
warning-boxes during installation. (drivers without digital sertificate).

Any other tips for disabling this ?

Did you try rebooting the machine after making the registry change? Are you
sure you've got the right registry key/value?

You can disable this during Windows unattended installation, if that's any help.

Also look at the HKLM key. HKLM will take precedence over HKCU.

Policy
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/93243.mspx?mfr=true

Policy
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/93243.mspx?mfr=true

You can also...
To change the value of this entry, use System in Control Panel. Click the
Hardware tab, click Driver Signing, select an option in the File signature
verification section, and then click the Apply setting as a system default
box.

Make this action the system default:
[[Specifies that the file signature verification setting is applied as the
default setting for all users who log on to this computer.
You must be logged on as an administrator or as a member of the
Administrators group to select this option.]]

Make this action the system default sets the HKLM Policy setting,
Not selecting the Make this action the system default sets the HKCU Policy
setting.

Anything in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is machine wide. It doesn't matter who logs
on.

Anything in HKEY_CURRENT_USER relates to the current user that is logged on.
