effects.exe is only for current user logged. If you want to define visual efffects for all users you must use cmdlines.txt. Notes concerning cmdlines.txt -> http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/14/ For me in cmdlines.txt, I have [Commands] ... regedit /s effects.reg ... and my effects.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Affichage [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects] "VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:b0,12,03,80 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ComboBoxAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\CursorShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DropShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\FontSmoothing] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByFontTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListBoxSmoothScrolling] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewAlphaSelect] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewWatermark] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByFontTest"=dword:00000000 "MinimumMEM"=dword:00000000 "MinimumCPU"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\MenuAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\SelectionFade] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TaskbarAnimations] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\Themes] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TooltipAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001

I think you use drivers for your input devices ... Uinstall it ...

You can use explorer ftp://ftp.yoursite.com to use IE6 's ftp mode.

Your regtweaks works only if they're applied during cmdlines.txt. If post-install, use SetVisualEffects.exe from SMC1979 ( http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30078 ) ( I have attached the program because I havn't found original location in the board ) You can make a settings.ini with your settings inside and run it in a command line effects /silent effects.exe

I have re-tested my post-hotfixes install without KB901190 and it doesn't appears in WU, I have read the security bulletin and it seems to be a hotfix for Korean only ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-009.mspx ).

I have KB901190 in my list for me ...

I have made other tests and in fact it's because I install KB918899 which is cumulative update for IE6. This update has a Windows Update client I think because when I install it I can access WU without popup ... I have deleted this update because it's now superseeded by KB925454 (I keep updates for IE6 for systems I don't update to IE7), and I have re-integrated WindowsUpdateClientv6.

There "net use" function to map a letter to a network path. net use g: \\pc\sharedfolder

FrameWork 3.0 isn't needed on Windows XP for the moment, for me I will integrate this version when I use an application that require it ... edit: BTW, RogueSpear has made a silent install for .NET FW 3.0 http://www.doitrightconsulting.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=132

WPA.DBL doesn't work since SP1 of Windows XP. AutoActivate = Yes works if you havn't reached your activatations limit, else you must call MS to activate. OEM Pre-Activation is the best method if you owned an OEM computer of course ^^ edit: You can use the old Windows XP no-service pack version to use WPA.DBL method and after apply SP2 but it's a poor method ...

you can use command line with netsh @echo off set interface_name=Local Network Connection rem ip netsh interface ip set address name="%interface_name%" static ip mask gateway 1 rem dns netsh interface ip set dns name="%interface_name%" static dns_ip edit: change ip , mask , gateway and dns_ip to your real IP ...

Thanks for WGA update, mine version updated from 1.5.540 to 1.5.560, big update ^^ but I like latest version ...

Hi all, How can I detect if Windows is activated or not ? With command line or vbscript , file detection ? It's interesting to install IE7 & WMP11. Thanks!

Try in Firefox browser. You can try reset settings to default in IE too.

It's now embedded in an InstallShied, use /s /v"/qb /norestart"

IMHO, the easiest method it to set options of the 7-Zip menu directly in 7-Zip main program, and after export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Options\ContextMenu.

KB923689 isn't needed if WMP11 integrated or installed. (For me I don't install it, and Windows Update is okay ...) On the bulletin MS says is just for WMP7.1/9/10.

Run that fix in Safe Mode http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix_En.php

Thanks RyanVM ! Is there a new Windows Update client ? Because I install it, but when I go to Windows Update it ask to download again ... I will retest when I will not tired ^^ edited: In fact, Internet Explorer 7.0 integrate a Windows Update client version so no need to install the windows update client before ...

Retail version Kaspersky hasn' t keyfile on cdrom. You must activate online your version with key printed on the box. I don't remember if you can export/import registration in regsitry, search in thread about kaspersky ...

Use a regfile after install REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Options] "ContextMenu"=dword:00000537

Look in registry at [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

Don't unpack manually the .exe, launch the setup and click cancel at the start of the "real" setup. And pick files from C:\ATI\SUPPORT\
