so the bug is really simple, when you say for example "set shell.allowed_disk_startup false", it will "unset" the value instead of setting it to false. which makes it so the computer reads the default value because it doesnt exist (true in this case). so you will have to use the settings API or edit the .settings file right now to be able to disable any form of default "true" value, the startup settings for example

Darn that one went right by everyone.
In set program lines: 31-32 are:


local oldValue = settings.get( sValue )
if value then

And should be:


local oldValue = settings.get( sName )
if value ~= nil then

Problem duplicated to git here: https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft/issues/85

Heh, I'd spotted the removal behaviour. Didn't figure out the consequences. Should've kept reading, I guess! :lol:/>
