Didnt you remove start menu plugin accidentally?

I am going to deploy it to few servers this week... Hope so everything will work as I expected (RC was working quite good)

You also need .NET + IIS... I am downloading it right now, I got update server prepared and ready2go

Yep, dman is right, they are interchangable... Use what is your loging telling you to use I am using For (because I used it in basic, dos etc...)

Nope, MU is officially launched yesterday together with WSUS!

Oh my... Longhorn IS NOT using unix kernel. NT kernel long years ago was designed by unix designers (NT kernel for old NT OSs), so it is not new stuff!

Custom Action... But for application like SAP it is not good solution - I am using logon script with GUID/FileCheck lockdown...

Same as my ConvertDate function I am using the trick to run date command, it will show you current format (dd-mm-yy) and then parse it to three variables

More professional solution - download Application Compatibility Toolkit (it is from Microsoft and is for free). It is more advanced version of Compatibility modes. Let me know if it helped you

Robocopy is creating exact mirror of location. There are two important things you must set - Source and Target. If using mirror, target is modified to match the source. So if you delete something from source, it will be deleted in target, if you modify something in source, it will be modified in target... So that is why I dont see a schedule as problem - it will just check source and target forlders and if there was no change, it will skip files, so it wont slow down your pc. There is also switch /MOT:m, which will force running robocopy ever m minutes, but I never used it. Also you could be interested in trying /MON:n, which is looking for changes (for example setting n to 2 will only run robocopy in case there were two changes made to source folder) About icons, you are right, they are taken from desktop folders in documents and settings and there isnt way to include third location - you must workaround by using (for example) mirror.

Microsoft Update is not patching only your OS, but also SQL, Office etc...

Here you go (didnt have a chance to try it, so I am waiting for your feedback) @Echo off rem Reading input file If "%1" EQU "" ( Echo You must use parameter - name of file to rename. Goto :EOF ) ELSE ( Set strFile2Rename=%1 ) If not exist %strFile2Rename% ( Echo %strFile2Rename% was not found! Goto :EOF ) For /f "usebackq delims=. tokens=1,2" %%i IN (`echo %strFile2Rename%`) Do Set strFileExtension=%%j rem Main code call:ConvertDate call:RenameFile Goto:EOF :ConvertDate rem Reading date format, converting and saving date for /f "skip=1 tokens=2-4 delims=(-)" %%a in ('echo.^|date') do ( set A=%%a&set B=%%b&set C=%%c) set t=2&if "%date%z" LSS "A" set t=1 for /f "skip=1 tokens=2-4 delims=(-)" %%a in ('echo.^|date') do ( for /f "tokens=%t%-4 delims=.-/ " %%d in ('date/t') do ( set dd=%%d&set mm=%%e&set yy=%%f)) Goto:EOF :RenameFile Echo File %strFile2Rename% will be renamed to %dd%-%mm%-%yy%.%strFileExtension% ren %strFile2Rename% %dd%-%mm%-%yy%.%strFileExtension%

I will write it for you... Would you be satisfied with script for parameters, like Rename2Date.bat file_to_rename.exe ?

Hi! Sorry for later response, didnt notice you already posted. You must use /MIR switch (mirror), ideally with scheduled task (check every few minutes)

The last OS based on something like dos kernel was Windows ME. NO CHANCE they will return back (specially with next-gen OS like Longhorn)

Nope, there isnt key (it would be too easy ) It is deleting CLSID from related MIME types, e.g. application/pdf or vnd.fdf

I know about this (noticed -A attribute on file)... but wont this change nothing else?

Well, dont see a problem??? installing hotfixes dont provide any output to output pipe and you are using @echo off.... Try to use delete @echo off to see, if it is working or not...

Longhorn WILL BE BASED ON *nix like kernel Why am I so sure? Because it will be based on NT kernel from R2 and as you know, N-Ten was programmed by unix programmers (which was clever move from Microsoft)

Are you talking about IP of your PC, or IP of your router?

PE Builder is designed to build BartPE using your normal OS CD... You cant create it manually. PE Builder will create "base" for you to modify the PE.

Hi! I am preparing Adobe Reader package and encountered one problem - I dont want to show pdf files in browser (sometimes I can see message %PDF% is not recognized file extension), but I cant find where this setting is! I know it is in MIME database, but these settings are NOT included in adobe.msi file So it looks like they are automatically generated after running acrobat. Have anyone solution on this or should I continue with my research?

Warez P2P... You were asking for problems It looks like you got problems with your winsock - it is easy to repair on XP box, for w2k you must download FixLSP. AND REMOVE DANGEROUS P2P SOFTWARE

spiritpyre is right - best way is to generate tweaks by yourself I am using mostly RegMon, sometimes InstallRite...

Strange is there is only one difference (AFAIK)... Regedit4 support extended strings, e.g. using variables.
