seems to works for installation and use but something is broked for uninstall process. Nothing runs when you uninstall messenger. Anyone use this method ? edit: it seems microsoft application report tools (dw20shared) doesn't install correctly/fully. It doesn't appears in "uninstall" regkey, in manul install it appears correctly ... btw, Happy New Year to all members !

Notice by default, launch "iexplore" from "Run" dialog will start IE 64bits ... so you can use this regtweak to fix it to 32bits REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\iexplore.exe] @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe" "Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer"

You can't copy files from floppy and put into cd or dvd ... You can burn new CD or DVD with bootable options with Nero and you need to put the binaries files in options (for floppy it's a image of floppy with 1,44mb size) and the media will boot same as your old floppy but in fact the media "emulate" the floppy ... to access your media you need some configuration, by default floppy win98 boot can access cdrom drive ...

xp sp3 (home & pro) has oobe gui same as xp sp0, xp sp1 and xp sp2

If you have splitstream SP3 into SP2 WinXP original yourself with nLite on Vista, re-make your disk with latest nlite. This is a known bug.

What's your source? Home or Pro ?

you can run directly install Spybotsd_1.5.2.exe /verysilent /components="" /tasks="" /norestart

many asked ... and asked .. and asked ... please search & read the board before posting ... btw, for the Welcome on the msfn community , this is answer : SP3 is cumulative from SP0 ... so it's include all updates of SP2 & SP1 You can integrate to your SP0 disc without problem except one thing, you can't skip "serial/license number question", if you integrated SP3 into SP1 you can skip "serial/license number question" same as vista ... btw, volume media always require "serial/license number" license" even with integrated SP3 to SP1 disc ... Have a nice day ! edit: rado354 simultaneous posting ;-)

shcan, you can't use winnt.sif unattended and keep repair function, it's impossible, you must use dual boot cd as IcemanND says.

you can mount NTUSER.dat to actual registry (for example into HKU\mountedntuser ) , edit your reg file to change HKCU\... to HKU\mountedntuser\... et run .reg file then unload ntuser.dat reg load HKU\mountedntuser ntuser.dat reg import reg.reg reg unload HKU\mountedntuser Adapt this method to your ...

Backup are in C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePack.... you can delete all folder in C:\WINDOWS\ begin with $Nt.... or $KB... (backup of updates kb.... if I rememeber) These folders are hidden and can be' deleted safely to get some free space

I had some bugs with old ghost exe (8.x and v6 for dos if I remember) ... Since I have updated to v11 and I have no problems for mbr / disk or partition cloning ... sure wim format is now free and embedded but not integrated yet in my brain so ghost is always in my winpe usb flash :-p

perhaps wrong set path ... try %SystemRoot%\system32\taskkill /IM process.exe /F

Be carreful about manupilate xp cd. Be sure you have right disc and right license .... I confirm the volume/corporate version has differents oembios files (7 files exactly) from retail, not just setupp.ini ...

easy's program is more "transparent" and "regular" than nLite which is for more customizing/optimizing but we don't see/know what is done by nLite (while respecting nuhi :-p)

perhaps it's time to switch to winxp post SP3 updates ? opinions ?

Nice tip about setup.ini I can use original .msi instead orca it :-p

For me, I prefer microsoft's splitstreamed sp3 version

nice try ! but I hope MS will release a clean SP3 winxp disc, so it can be used other than our home systems ;-) I always see a winxp sp2 integrated manually is more bloated than MS release ... so I always wait ms discs ...

You can use this : if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr start "" setup.exe For me,I use that code, it's check uac too ... if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr fsutil | find "administrateur" if exist %SystemDrive%\bootmgr if "%errorlevel%"=="0" echo UAC ON&&pause&&exit else echo UAC OFF&&start "" setup.exe

@premier69: I don't use split format / 001 format , but have you tried to open file from 7zip directly ? There is updated reg file to set association for version 4.57 of 7zip, I don't use optimized script to keep compatibilty with win98 ... 7Zip_Settings.reg REGEDIT4 ;Set lang

Welcome to MSFN community ! Warning ! Don't ask many questions, this is a forum, lot of answers are already present, search & read ... For your question, make sure you use ResEdit from TFTSoft. The latest version is 2.20

You can't change blue color of EN part , it's hardcoded , you must edit the ressource of a dll file or perhaps explorer.exe directly.

Hi all ! I'm trying to make a backup script to mirror files to other location and I use robocopy with /XJ to skip jonction and allow to finish copy without problems. Can I backup just jonctions and symlinks ? Perhaps there is a default list of original jonctions ? Perhas MS has an utility to remake default jonction ? Big thanks if anyone has a comment for me
