Note the hidden is viewable if you enable "Display systems files" ^^ Yzöwl you're crazy with your complex script but they always works

I don't really understand the configuration, make a schema if possible. If you have two networks, one with internet and the other without, you can connect both and access internet without problem. Windows access internet by the gateway (to view the used default gateway type in a cmd: 'route print' (this is the last line) Shared connection is only required if you have an modem connected directly to your Windows and you want to share it with others ...

Device Manager -> Games controller, Sound section -> Video codecs (list is in Property tab) Device Manager -> Games controller, Sound section -> Audio codecs (list is in Property tab)

I see many people like Norton's products except for Ghost which is really good (but Acronis TrueImage grow up ...) and I keep WinDoctor too on my usb key to fast cleanup registry, incoherence ...

So you havn't any problems now with java ? edit: Oupss! In fact you prove the msiexec isn't needed for regga ...

Boot from windows xp CD, at first menu choose Install (not repair!) and setup will detect an already Windows version so you can choose repair in the second menu, that will keep all your program/software/drivers and profile users.

Type in a cmd set to know all variable available ... For $Progs -> %ProgramFiles%

You can bypass reboot with restart service after regtweak : ::Browser is dependant of lanmanserver, so we stop the service sc stop browser :: Wait a moment during stopping service ... ping 127.0.0.1 >NUL :: Shutdown lanmanserver (shared folder ...) sc stop lanmanserver :: Wait a moment during stopping service ... ping 127.0.0.1 >NUL :: Restart Browser, due to dependence lanmanserver restart too sc start browser

net use x: \\MachineX\SharedFolderX password You can replace password by * to force to ask password during the mapping ... But with net use /? you have all settings. In unattended setup the /Persistent:no switch allow to not save the mapped drive on next reboot

"start" command is only required if you want to control the executed program like priority, and in unattended world it's used to wait the end of the executed program (in many case the end of a setup).

I havn't found solution too ... I try with nForce all series package. It seems to be an IDE package will cause the reboot. Try ti re-run your install without IDE folder.

I have tested start c:\"t t"\t.txt and it open the right 1.txt document here. But the correct usage is the method I have posted.

1) MSDOS isn't in Windows XP. Use command-line interpreter with Start->Execute-> 'cmd'. Old MSDOS programs may not work. You can enable Compatibility in the properties of the executable. 2) I think you use an old version of PC-Cillin which work with old Task scheduler ... 3) Display settings, Screensaver, untick "Protect by password ..." (I don't remember exactly the name of the option)

The best is to splistream the SP2 from you SP1 disc to a new disc (excuse me for my lang.). You can download all post SP2 updates with help of this list http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=31886 Goodbye.

If you want to burn your final folder with hardlinks present you must use "Optimize" function from UltraISO or CDIMAGE (freeware with GUI), if not the iso produced will be oversized (hardlinks arn't reproduced, hardlink works only in NTFS filesystems). I moved to Multi-boot section, I think you find more ressources ...

In fact in 'start', the first quotes is used to set the name of the new window created and the second quotes is used for the file path. Like this: start /wait "Installing something ..." "%temp%\F o l d e r\Windows Live Messenger.msi" /qb Note the argument of the executed file isn't inside in second quotes, it's normal way. edit: typo

REG EXPORT "HKCU\Sofware\MyUserProgram1\My Settings" ClassicReg.reg make regular .reg file. REG SAVE make .hiv files (more details reg /?) edit: forget keybase argument (thx to Yzöwl's post)

For me, that problem happen with certain nLited source. Now I have reduced just the extra of my source and no problem during 4 month ago ...

I have already had ths error. Another member too. If I remember there isn't solution. Is it after a repair windows operation ? Changing hardware ?

I have a shared folder with all hotfixes with a batch .. I always install on fresh system and old system too (sp2 minimum) and no problems. If you re-install a patch, there is no problem.

The flash player issue is for flash player 6.0 from original windows xp. So Microsoft path its system. But if you use directly the latest Flash Player from Adobe no patch needed. It's the same as Java technology. If you have installed SP1 or RTM windows xp the patch for java is needed, but now all use Sun Java so no updates required from Microsoft ... For me, I hate post update pack ...

Tested many times, security database can be moved, edited on the fly. (In fact, the file is in use, but you can rename and move the file (but you can't delete), Windows manage operations). edit: I don't know about unicode format (pspad says mine as UTF-16 ...), but you must have [Unicode] Unicode=yes.

We must use security templates. Original security template use SID of Guest account. With string "Guest" it works too. I think there isn't an issue. EnableSimpleSharing.inf [Unicode] Unicode=yes [Version] signature="$CHICAGO$" Revision=1 [System Access] EnableGuestAccount = 1 [Privilege Rights] sedenynetworklogonright = ;Edit to your language ... There is French here senetworklogonright = Administrateurs, Opérateurs de sauvegarde, Utilisateurs avec pouvoir, Utilisateurs, Invité [Profile Description] Description=Just Enable Simple Sharing To apply this template silenlty I use that batch Go.cmd ::Move database here (if not secedit display an error ...) if exist %SystemRoot%\security\Database\secedit.sdb move /y %SystemRoot%\security\Database\secedit.sdb ::Update the database secedit /configure /cfg EnableSimpleSharing.inf /db secedit.sdb ::Replace database move /y secedit.sdb %SystemRoot%\security\Database\secedit.sdb ::Clean reg keys reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SeCEdit" /v TemplateUsed /f >NUL 2>&1 reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SeCEdit" /v LastUsedDatabase /f >NUL 2>&1 edit: Okay, that works in VmWare. edit2: No need to reboot too.
