you can not rename msgplus...it must stay msgplus-3.01.exe (or whatever the version is), so do not change the name of the file, or it breaks the installer.

well, this is gonna be a problem, because the gditool is not for your OS if youre running xpsp2...or at least thats what I read...and if you run it without any switches, it will come back and tell you you dont need to install it...so it will always sit in windows update...you need to tell your boss to read the documentation.

have you tried /q:a /r:n...or /q /n?

here is one that Ive wanted to do after seeing the end of Steel Angel Kurumi...Ive been trying to get everything perfect for about a week or so...This is not my artwork, it is from the DVD...the text is taken from the beginning of any of the 4 dvd's...I thought it was nice...I suck at figuring out the 5 buttons, but oh well, this is what I have, any suggestions? Had to save as jpg, since I cant upload more than 150K...which would be why the text looks funny. Ive also thought about removing all other text, so that once its done with the first block of text, youll only see the image...any thoughts? Plz use personal webspace or free img host provided by msfn members

you must have win51, win51ip, and win51ip.sp2 in the root of the cd...ya know, a simple search would have solved this for you, rather than having you rack your brain on what it could be.

more is required under version [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600

well, we still dont have a entire reg file, but yea, I would say lock it and start a new one...and in the new one, just reference this one, so it doesnt get lost.

the speedup uses the exact same regtweak that has been posted...run reader speedup and try to load journal viewer and see if it works, ill bet it doesnt.

your email doesnt work...I received a bounceback letter

well, i guess i should come out and say why I called it coolsights method...it was because we were talkin in the post and nologic, I believe, was talking about this other method, so for people who were reading the thread, I referred to it as coolsights method, so they would know which one I was talking about...coolsights vs nologic's...so I guess its my fault it was referred as coolsights method...but in all honesty, I only referred to it that way because I wanted to make sure other knew which version I was talking about.

well, this is where i need your help or whoevers...as far as I can see, its now done...I did have to make some changes after posting, but to me, it looks complete...but, I dont know about the cleanup...and also, dont really know if it all flows (ie, if it will work, it should in theory...)...as for the cleanup, there might be some strangling url files somewhere...like in system32 dir...but other than that, I think its done...give it a test, I guess...I would test it, but I dont have a web server up yet....Also, another thing, if using runonceex, most people are gonna have $OEM$...so why not dump devcon and unrar in the system32 folder in there...$$\system32?

I did notice an error with ftp.cmd....you dont download the tools until after the script is done, so how can you run devcon in its location??

i do exactly what you do, and it works for me, well I have yet to create a new user or anything, but the switch is successful...and I dont think you can delete the default user, I think windows needs this...default user is not a normal user...it is being used here in that way, but you really should never delete the default user...you can delete the default user.domain, but should never delete the default user.

also, i really like this script...but I also wanna have the option of downloading from web, so, if you give me permission, im changing your ftp script to be used for web...so far Ive got it almost done, just need to set up the script WEB_SCR (im not very imaginative lol) for use with wget...other than that, I think ive got it down.

what is EMD?

you probably should not delete the default user profile until you logon as the new user...

actually, the tweak for adobe isnt technically FOR adobe...its for removing wisptis altogether...you can apply the same tweak with or without adobe on your machine and have the same effect...just the adobe people are bitching about it to a great degree, which is why its called a fix for adobe...it could technically be called a wisptis fix...personally, if it were me, I would remove journal viewer and delete wisptis from office, and go on my merry way...which i may do...i actually found a "wisptis.exe" file that doesnt load...but journal viewer cries and wont run unless you replace it...which HEY RYANVM...care to remake journal viewer and see if we can add this edited wisptis to the source and see what happens? I dunno if you add an edited file if it will still complain about not having the real version of wisptis or not...

ryanvm, its gonna be a chore to do adobe without wisptis...wisptis isnt even loaded with adobe, i think its cuz of a plugin, but no matter what, its gonna break journal viewer from working...now, if you dont install journal viewer, you dont have wisptis...or, what you could do, is find out which plugin adobe is using to run wisptis...it has to be a plugin, cuz i checked the registry for adobe and its not in there.. I do know adobe can be run without wisptis...and with journal viewer installed...but, anytime you load journal viewer, wisptis will be loaded...also msoffice has wisptis also. so, unless you want to find which plugin is loading wisptis, i wouldnt worry about it, its a pain to end task wisptis, but its not worth the time to fix it.

wow, you found ones i didnt even find...im gonna email him the changes i mad...but theres like 3 that shouldnt be in there...I personally dont use HKEY_USERS for tweaks...and theres like 3 of them in there. theres also a networking tweak that breaks the rest of the file because instead of a ", there is a :, but im sending him the reg I fixed (not including your fixes) and hopefully it all makes sense...LOL, Im not very good at explaining things.
