Hi all,
I looked all over the place but didn't find the answer on how to use the shortcut command in XPlode.
So hopefully someone is willing to help me out with this one.
All i want to do when i create my custom startmenu to make shortcuts in those directory's to the programs i installed through XPlode.
Example: i create a folder in my startmenu called: Tools.
<item display='Creating start menu folders'>
<execute display="Tools" program='cmd' arguments='/C mkdir "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Tools"' hide='true' />After that i want in the folder Tools a shortcut called: WinRAR.lnk
The program is installed in the default dir, so everbody knows where that is.
How am i going to do that? Did a try allready with the code from the example.xml.
But when i executed it, i got a shortcut in my XPlode dir.
haha, funny, but not what i amed for.This is what i try'd:
<item display='Creating Start Menu shortcuts'>
<shortcut display='WinRAR shortcut'
program='%systemdrive%\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe'
description='WinRAR'
workdir='%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Music\Winrar.lnk'
arguments=''
link='WinRAR.lnk'/>Can some help me understand this one!!?
Thnx in advance.

Hi snoopy,
I think here it is:
[Data]
AutoPartition=0
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"
OemPreinstall=yes
UnattendedSwitch=yes
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=NoRemove the line: OemPreinstall=yes under [Data]
Change the line under [unattended] OemPreinstall=yes
Twice and one in the wrong place and then also a yes and a no ??
This should now, enjoy it.
Edit:
How about this part: [Componants]
Should be: [Components]
And does this work?
[GUIRunOnce]
%C:\%\install\Batch_File.cmd
%C:\%\install\hotfixes\HotFixes\HotFixes.cmd0 -
Hi hiphopfaze,
I must say you provide very little info about how you make the installtions...
To activate the theme you want, just open up your winnt.sif file and make sure that it has the following:
[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\name_of_the_theme.theme"I suppose u do this through an unattended install, so extract your theme out of the package.
Then put the theme file's in the folowing directory on your XPCD:
$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes
This is for getting the files automatically put in the right directory where all the themes are.
O'yeah, almost forgot, your winnt.sif file also needs this line:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall=YesHere u can find all the info you want for the winnt.sif file.

AH!
so if i understand this correct when he said:
my files are in C:\i386it should look like:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup]
"SourcePath"="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\i386"
"ServicePackSourcePath"="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\i386"If i got it right, then mazin has a very good eye!!
(if not i must learn a lot... again..

If you want a very usefull example read through this topic:
Look at the xml sheet big_gie attached.. very well used!
When i get the time to finish mine i will post it as well so people can use it!

Youre right! but.. well you know... sometimes you need a fast answer if possible.
And there is the lack of time. (its 23:40 now and finally came home
)But when i get some more time leftover i am going to help with all the question i answer here. When finished at last i also will share my file with everyone who needs sample's!

(i already took...ssstt
)Yeah, i am going read it all the way down and going to spend some time testing the regtweaks and creating of my startmenu. Used the delete cmd allready, so it won't be a prob for me! B)
Saw a few interresting solutions in the way you use XPlode.
Question anyway.. can i give you a PM if i get stuck on a option i want to use?
cheers anyway, thnx for the file/help.

When you see a regshot saying "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-2...." then you can replace it with "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\..."
So:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-606747145-725345543-500\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\AppSettings
Will become
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\AppSettings
big_gie / eirogge, i am pleased that you read this and gave me these very usefull tips!! (saw the "msnmsgr"=- allready in big-gie's .xml sheet tho)
thank you again, didn't know these.
i'm going to have lots of fun with it and help someone else with it when he/she has the same prob's.

@big_gie
Gues what... look at the first and last post from me here:
Came here to find out again how the regtweaks used to work from within XPlode.
Found your file, and although your language means almost zero to me, i speak some regtweaks...
The freaking msn messenger tweak for me is in it! AAAAHHHH!
But i must say your file has some very nice usage of things i was planning to find out. So thnx, and i gues you don't mind i "steal" a few parts from you!
(If only i could translate some pieces from it..

@ jrzycrim
Thank you very much, it worked like charme!!!
Just deleted the last key and apply'd the tweak again, rebooted and voila..no msn messenger popping up!
Now i'm going to read/look through the forum how to get lost of this key through XPlode AFTER it is installed.
Thnx again, i'm happy

This is what i found:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"msnmsgr"="\"C:\\Program Files\\MSN Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" /background"I'm going to try in a minute or so what happens when i remove it.
Don't know where the double "\\" comes from, just exported the key from regedit..
0 -
Thnx, but no luck again.
Removed the check for running at startup.
Exported this key and again made sure msn messenger runs at startup.
Then merged it into the registry..
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger]
"AppSettings"=hex:22,04,00,00I dunno how to do this, but hopefully tonight someone overhere is getting the right one's for me! So i hope for the best with some help from you all!
be back in 2 hours to see if i'm getting lucky today!

Again used Regshot and it gave me the following result:
Before:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-606747145-725345543-500\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\AppSettings: 22 06 00 00
After:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-746137067-606747145-725345543-500\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\AppSettings: 22 04 00 00Will these "\S-etc etc" registry setting be valid on a next unattended installation??
Then i can use this setting and is my problem partly solved!

I want it for MSN messenger.
Other suggestions ??

Ofcourse i'm going to help making Wraith really proud at XPlode!
Still using it at first logon and see the very cool/professional guitransparant installations going over my screen!
Only my regtweaks are set at T-12.

I'm going crazy!!!
It's not working.
How does everybody manage these 2 tweaks and have got them to work.
I just want to lose the passport balloon and remove the checkmark at
"automatically run messenger when i log on to windows" !
It worked for me with SP1a, so i guess there must be something else with SP2 ??

****.... how stupid of me, should have figured out myself
Suppose that shall be it... going to try it again now.
Ill be back,

Hi u all,
I'm having a very annoying problem with 2 of my registry tweaks.
They just DON'T work
I have searched, read and even used regshot for it to get it to work.
but still no luck. I get the strange feeling this is happening since the slipstreamed SP2. (??)
So please help me out with these 2 because i am unable to solve it:
;Removes Sign up with Passport Wizard when trying to sign in MSN Messenger
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Passport]
"RegistrationCompleted"=dword:00000001
;Stop MSN Messenger from Running on Windows Startup
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger]
"AppSettings"=hex:22,04,00,00They are executed at the T-12 during unattended install.
My the only thing that comes after it will be XPlode running at first logon for the installation of my app's and some cleanup things.
Please help me with these settings, i am getting a bit sick of these 2...

Please remove your Serial for Nero..
Another option for you can be to convert it to XPlode!
This give's an awesome look, and is also very easy to maintain.

YW.
I know...newbee is a hard life.
But it doesn't mean that doing a search on the topics can harm you...!
Probably you'll only be better off with that BEFORE asking help.
Saves a lot of time for all of us! Keep that in mind, it helps.
Enjoy MSFN.

dunno where u are from, but....nevermind.
There are no hotfixes at this moment!!!!!!!!!!!
Not after SP2...i mean.
You are still including the "OLD" fixe's that were realesed AFTER SP1/SP1a.
call them pre-sp2 hotfixe's or whatever.
Start with a fresh copy of the original XPcd and slipstream the SP2.
After that there are NO hotfixes left for you at this moment.
All you have to do then is adding apps, tweaks and watever you wish to do with the XPcd you create!
Forget at this moment about hotfixing.
But this getting off-topic here right now....

@ ADIEL
I don't get it with you....
Here you say that you use SP2, but in another thread earlier today you ask if we could check out your svcpack.inf....
It shows all the pre-sp2 hotfixes !!!
You are here very short and drop very very much questions, but (forgive me if i'm wrong) i have this feeling that you just DON'T read at all about what is on this awesome site!

Problems installing drivers with F-6 Unattend CD
in Device Drivers
Posted
I will post soon here, because i'm pretty sure that i STILL have the F6 option availlable during my setup!!
Completely unattended, winnt.sif and so on! (only partition choises)
Must say that i don't need it anymore, since i integrated my Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATARaid drivers into my XPCD.
Give me a couple of days before i try my new XPCD and will let you know then if i'm still correct that i do have it availlable!
(am still waiting for an reply and some help with a shortcut command for XPlode)
By the way, which drivers do you want to integrate??
