Hi, when all of my apps have installed i've changed my runonce command so it doesnt reboot after the apps have installed. Instead it logs into the admin account. I've got a .exe file which i want to run once its logged in - how is the best way to start the file automatically ?

Hi, i'm looking for a basic script for setting up user profiles, something that can be ran from a memory stick.
At my work we deploy new PCs every day and have to logon to the machines as the user and set the folder options, shortcuts, change options etc for each user. Is there anything already created that i could work on / modify for my needs ?

Hi, i've just started using this after using the RunOnce method. I'm getting the following error after windows has installed but before my apps have installed :
Windows cannot find d:\wpi\WPI.htaIm using a multiboot DVD - my WPI folder is located on the DVD as:
DVD:\SETUP\XP\PROFESSIONAL\WPI\WPI.htanot
DVD:\wpi\WPI.htaI can move the WPI folder to the root on the DVD thats not a problem but is that where it should be located ?

Just noticed that i have arguement instructions that belong to DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %I IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) DO (FOR %J IN (%I$OEM$) DO (IF EXIST %J (start /min /D%J Drivers.cmd)))"Think i'l just find a different way of installing the drivers so i dont have 2 instances of DetachedProgram=

Right- i've never made a command script so does the following look right ?
I'd call the cmd script using:
DetachedProgram="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\script.cmd"And the cmd script would contain:
@echo offDetachedProgram="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\mplayer\video.exe"
DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
exit

Sorry i meant that mplayer opens up at the 33 minute stage, the video starts playing but no sound can be heard. Now whilst the video is playing if you select tools > options on mplayer itself and click apply - the sound starts playing. No options are changed so its just a strange one
Anyone else manage to get audio working ?

Hi, in Winnt.sif i install the drivers by placing the following in [GuiUnattended]
DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"But i've added a video now to the setup which uses
DetachedProgram="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\mplayer\video.exe"Can i use 2 detached programs because i cant get it to work
tried this
DetachedProgram="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\mplayer\video.exe"DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
But only the 1st option is picked up
Any ideas ?

Sorry change it to this - cant edit it for some reason
REG ADD %KEY%01 /VE /D "Acrobat Reader" /fREG ADD %KEY%01 /V 1 /D "%PP%\install\acrobat\ar6.exe /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%02 /VE /D "Adware Pro 6" /f
REG ADD %KEY%02 /V 1 /D "%PP%\install\adware\adw6pro.exe /qn" /f
Your Runonce should look like this
cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\win51ip.SP2 SET CDROM=%%i:

Change

REG ADD %KEY%2 /V 1 /D "%PP%\install\adware\adw6pro.exe /qn" /f
With those software apps in $OEM$\$1\Install\
e.g.
$OEM$\$1\Install\acrobat
$OEM$\$1\Install\adaware
that should do it

Hi, i've read various posts on different methods of installing ZAP 6.5 unattended but it would never fully work for me - after putting this and that together this is what worked for me
Install ZAP as normal on your PC
Setup ZAP how you want it to run
Goto Overview > Preferences Tab > Select Backup and save the file as zoneconfig.xml
Now open Regedit & export the complete key from:
HKLM > Software > Zone Labs & call it zone1.reg
HKCU > Software > Zone Labs & call it zone2.reg
Now add this to your Runonce - change the paths to your local setup
REG ADD %KEY%26 /VE /D "ZoneAlarm Pro 6.5.700" /f
REG ADD %KEY%26 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\zone_alarm\setup.exe /s /i /noreboot /lickey YourLicenseKeyWithoutDashes %SystemDrive%\Install\zone_alarm\zonesettings.xml" /f
REG ADD %KEY%26 /V 2 /D "Taskkill /F /IM zclient" /f
REG ADD %KEY%26 /V 3 /D "REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\zone_alarm\zone1.reg" /f
REG ADD %KEY%26 /V 4 /D "REGEDIT /S %SystemDrive%\Install\zone_alarm\zone2.reg" /fHope this helps someone B)

Extended Desktop - How do i disable it on Laptop?
in Windows XP
Posted
Hi, 2 of my friends have bought identical laptops HP Omnibook 6100. I've put XP Pro on them and for some reason they both are set on extended desktop - even though theres no monitor attached. I cant disable it in the display properties as its greyed out but its ticked. So at the moment you have to scroll around the screen to get from the top to the bottom of the desktop and also left to right - this even happens on the logon screen!
