Syntax is right, try to use net use with a shared folder with a space. I just tried with folder and it works. Make sure you havn't make a fault in name too try with a * before /user like net use "\\pc 1\f 2" * /user:xxx

@Ponch: Thanks for correction! I do many language errors, thanks for anyone correct me ! @mikesw: Nothing to do with AES algorithm ! It's just a basic conversion. This method is used for Windows because there are keys preactivated with hardware, but for Office there isn't preactivated license, so if you use license many times you will be in illegal status, but I think you could find a vbs script to get your Office license. There are many softs like Everest which get all licenses of your system ...

Nice autoit script. What about an administrative install to optimize more space, I have cab missing error. btw, if I use admin install from my oem disc (nero 7 essentials v7.5.14.0 ), there isn't problem ...

No, I doubt ... Windows XP x64 is more like Server 2003 ...

The genuine cdrom of Windows XP Pro or Home or any version is nothing ! You must have the key and your sticker. Media/CD can be recopied from friend without problem, it's tolered ...

@razormoon : How do you extract files ? No problems with missing cabs files ?

Warning ! promote software product in your first post can be a reason to ban you ... btw, welcome !

Perhaps with batch we can do something. What "net use" in a command prompt command say when password is wrong and printer installed ? I think we can "net use \\server\printer /d /y" and reconnet to printer with "net use \\server\printer /user:YouName *" (* will ask you password). Edit : Wrong, you can login with custom login & password using "net use" or "map letter using different password", it works great with folders, I think "net use" will work for printers too ...

I doubt it's possible, perhaps in nLite section ... but I think you re can rebuild you nLited CD

Unless of course you have a recent "normal" motherboard, on which the piezoelectric speaker is soldered to it. jaclaz and there is a switch on recent mb to disable the piezoelectric speaker , in the case of DFI nF4 ...

Not unattended method, very effective : unplug the speaker directly from mainboard

Optical drives doesn't need drivers at all, even to unlock certain features ... Perhaps firmware can be upgraded, but if 'DVD' doesn't work you can say goodbye to 'dvd' feature that's all, it's dead for dvd ...

You can add the content to your actual .pbk file with batch like "echo xxxx >>file.pbk"

Windows XP doesn't support *native* concurrent remote desktop even with reg file. edit : "native" added

btw, You can just edit existing setup.iss to change BootOption to 0 , and run direclty setup -s. I use that method for long time ago without problems.

Keep just the .msi of Kaspersky (extract from the .exe downloaded from website) Edit the .msi with ORCA (you will find the util on forum) to remove "RunApp" in "CustomActions" section and save modifications. Now you can start install silenlty with : start /w kav6.fr.msi /qb After install no reboot. You can continue to install other softwares and you can use one final reboot. I have repacked the .msi with a batch (containing start /w kav6.fr.msi /qb ) inside a Winrar sfx and in WPI I have just prog[pn]=['Kaspersky AntiVirus 6'] uid[pn]=['kav6']; cond[pn]=['FileExists("%cdrom%\\Programmes\\Protection\\KAV6.exe")'] cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Programmes\\Protection\\KAV6.exe'] configs[pn]=['no'] cat[pn]=['Programmes'] pn++

Create once the vpn connection by wizard and backup the .pbk file. After you can use command line : Connect rasdial NameOfConnection user pass /phonebook:file.pbk Disconnect rasdial NameOfConnection /disconnect Sample .pbk file [NameOfConnection] ShowMonitorIconInTaskBar=0 IpPrioritizeRemote=0 MEDIA=rastapi Port=VPN9-0 Device=Miniport réseau étendu (L2TP) DEVICE=rastapi PhoneNumber=ip or dns name

Read this topic first http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=74802 and I will post my actual method later ...

btw, there is Windows XP "n" editions available in Europe which has not WMP.

TrueCrypt work great. I use it too. FranckE9999 : Do you mean data can be read if password is different than password used to encrypt data ? Have you used EFS in domain ?

You can set NTFS rights to prevent accessing data from network. You can crypt data using EFS (right click on folder, property , advanced attributes and check Crypt) if you don't login with the user which was crypted dat you can't read data. Keep same user profile & password to keep data safe.

What's version of your Windows XP ? Home ? Pro ?

You need to run the setup of Vista under WinPE 2.0. I think there is winpe 2.0 usb possiblity.

Use BartPE to make a BartPE USB disk and you can install Windows from BartPE environment (copy an I386 folder to USB key or another usb key). Once on bartpe run the install like winnt32 /syspart:C /tempdrive:C /makelocalsource I have used that method for many systems which optical drive are dead or for notebooks without optical drive ... no problems! EDIT: I havn't seen that topic too http://www.msfn.org/board/boot_install_USB...st&p=583477 , read that topic
