    Copying Additional Files during the Installation

    in Windows 9x/ME

    Posted

    Hi everybody,

    I want to make an unattended win98SE and I want to install some applications.

    First I have problem with skipping EULA, but find that the problem is in my CD. It was OEM not retail. (Solved)

    But now I want to add some additional apps, but how? I found a way of doing that, but after 2 days experiments I'm gona freak out. Here is the guide I've been folowing:

    http://www.onecomputerguy.com/install/install.htm#copying

    But every time I try to understand when I'm wrong - I start to thing that I'm stupid. :blushing:

    If someone alredy made an copying of files, and instaling them silently - please help. Or someone who can make an simple example with directory tree, because I've try to put Install dir inside win98 dir, and outside, but the result was the same - some errors.

    Especialy I can't understand this:

    [SourceDisksNames]
    33,"MyFilesSource",MyFiles,0

    When I try with this way, the setup told me to insert CD Labeled "MyFilesSource"?!

    Sorry, but I never thing that this will be so dificult. Maybe the unattended XP encourage me to do this, but in the office I've work there is so many old computers, and my boss don't want to have other OS than win98.

    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. Excuse my English.

    Registry Tweaks, Part-1

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hi,

    I've this tread 2 times, but didn't find how to Show Quick Launch. I have search the whole forum and google too, but there is no information about this. I monitor for the registry changes but can't find anything. :-(

    Is there anyone who knows how to do that? Is it record somewhere in the registry or in some file?

    The other question is how to remove default Favorites and replace them with mine for all users? I've tried to remove them with batch file, but when I create new user the default favorites are aplied. I put my Favorites in All Users, but they didn't appear in IE. What's wrong in my actions?

    And the last one - I try to remove the *.scr in %systemroot%\system32 with batch file as it shown in Prepare.cmd here:

    cmdow @ /HID
    DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp"
    DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg"
    DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr"
    DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr"

    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk"
    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk"
    DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"

    but it's not working. When I log-in they are there and refuse to be removed. Even I delete them - they appear again.

    I realise what GreanMachine explained, that all setings are in hivedef.inf, but when I explore this find just this entries about screensaver:

    HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaverIsSecure",0x00000002,"0"
    HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaveTimeOut",0x00000000,"600"
    HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","ScreenSaveActive",0x00000002,"1"
    HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","SCRNSAVE.EXE",0x00000002,"%SystemRoot%\System32\logon.scr"

    Here I can change the default screensaver to my own, but how to delete other?

    I found the section with screensavers, but ...

    HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.3DFlyingObj",,0x00000012
    HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.3DPipes",,0x00000012

    HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Stars","Density",0x00000002,"50"
    HKCU,"Control Panel\Screen Saver.Stars","WarpSpeed",0x00000002,"10"

    ... here is only 6 of 10? Where is the other?

    There is so many things that I don't understand, but for now this is enought.

    Thanks in advance and excluse my English.
