# Disable the SignUp Client temporarily.

I need to disable the SignUp Client on some of my workstations for maintenance, and don't want to uninstall. How can I do this?

---

The process is different depending on the client operating system.

- Windows XP clients:

Change the following registry value to "MSGina.dll" instead of "NTGina.dll" and reboot.

```plaintext
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDLL
```

Change the value back to "NTGina.dll" to restore the client.
- Vista and Windows 7 clients:

Run this command as Administrator:

```plaintext
regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll" /u
```

To re-enable the client, run:

```plaintext
regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll"
```
- Windows 8.0, 8.1 and 10 clients:

Run this command as Administrator:

```plaintext
      regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES(x64)%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll" /u
```

To re-enable the client, run:

```plaintext
      regsvr32 "%PROGRAMFILES(x64)%\Pharos\Bin\SUCredentialProvider.dll"
```
