    Xpize 3.0 Released

    Yes, xpize works to skin Winrar only when winrar is located in the default folder, ie, \program files\winrar. I just installed new windows and ran xpize to skin winrar 3.42 and it worked!!

    Xpize 3.0 Released

    Hi Xpero I tried to skin Winrar both in Program files directory and also other location where I usually keep it installed. But if winrar directory is not located in Program Files, as suggested by you, then another problem could also be that my program files directory is a subfolder of the windows directory. So there will certainly be a problem because, perhaps, your installer is rather than using absolute paths is using fixed path for winrar. Am I right. I will work around with full windows and default folder structure to see the effect. Thanks for the reply. But you must keep the option of manually adding the required directory in the path. Thanks again! Great work again!

    Downloaded, slipstreamed and used installer for installed windows. Great experience. Xpero has really put in a lot of effort. Keep up the good work!! BTW I don't seem to get along with winrar skinning option. How to get it through? I tried it on Winrar 3.42 installed fresh. But no success. Thanks!
  4. Nice one to start the day!!
  5. Opera provides all things which Mozilla has now been offering. Look at the size of installation file (without java), mozilla is 7zipped but still you have to add the options for tabs, mouse gestures etc. Opera offers voice command and fit to window rendering. Fit to window really helps when your desktop doesn't really support extended windows. Opera is simply great.
  6. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=35418 I hope this helps.
  7. I would love to see such a thread going which could be more helpful for people like me who have to cater to the needs of addressing and taking care of PCs with almost all the oses available.
  8. Nice program! I was thinking of such a program to notify me of complete installation of windows. It helps in putting a mp3-exe entry in runonce to announce the end of (unattended) installation. Great!
  9. Great job! Works fine for me and loading time has decreased too!
  10. you are absolutely right Astalavista, the shell32 of kb890047 differs and entire process gets topsy and turvy. But for a simple thing not incorporating kb890047 update either of the two methods mentioned work. Thanks a lot!!
  11. http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/txt Here you can find the shell replacer.cmd, drag the old file and then drag the new file onto the cmd window and reboot to see the effects.
  12. The moment shell32.dll gets loaded it cannot be renamed easily, but you can use the already compressed shell32.dl_ and put it in i386 directory to get the change reflected in the final installation. But the sfc has to be disabled before that. And while the windows are running you can use Replacer.cmd, a cmd file available to get the results.
  13. Remove your cd key first. You have already exposed it!
  14. I have three partitions spread over one RAID0 volume and one non-raid. Use of nLite and other softwares requires frequent installations of Windows XP Pro (legal) much too frequently. My problem (also may be of all others who carry the same procedure) is that Windows intallation gives a typical entry in the boot.ini file "Microsoft Windows XP Professional". So at times while booting it becomes difficult to recognise which windows to boot to as there might be three or more entries with a same name. Can someone help me to create a batch file or other method which reads the disk label and appends it in Microsoft Windows XP Professional" entry of boot.ini so only after seeing the entries one can boot in the required partition. I only have basic bat file knowledge and what I am presently following is to add a custom boot.ini file with three entries for each partition, backing the original boot.ini and replacing the new boot.ini with a stored boot.ini at first boot using runonceex.cmd. But it certainly doesn't help fully because the default entry remains the one which is in the stored file. Thanks!
  15. Thanks Lexicon The process works for me to restore minitoolbar of WMP 10 slipstreamed with Bâshrat the Sneaky cmd file. Thanks again!!
  16. Or you can use the installs.bat. This file runs in installation of windows xp to silently do the job. assoc .pdf=acrobat ftype acrobat=%programfiles%\Acrobat\Reader\AcroRd32.exe %%1 %%* ==================== OR ==================== assoc .pdf=acrobat ftype acrobat=%programfiles%\Foxit\PDFReader.exe %%1 %%* BTW what about search capabilities of Foxit PDF Reader??
  17. I think I missed net naming for network connection in the attached file, but Yzöwl has taken care of it. But can you post me the link of the visual style which you are using. It is certainly different and nice. Thanks!!!!!
  18. Use the reg file attached and register it and finally logoff to see the effect!!! rename.reg
  19. It is really a good idea!!! I have been following it for years now. I have used a specific directory for entire of my modified data, the docs, photos, modified themes, application data settings (browser settings, templates, playlists), even my browser opera is in a fixed directory and I have added all the shortcuts required accessed by using hoekey or in quick launch and the registry modifications of the above mentioned registry settings help to keep all the shortcuts handy and I really don't have to add any of my existing shortcuts too. I further have made out a fixed directory of the temp environment, it is essentially in a separate partition and it houses the temporary internet folder and cache of opera too. This helps to check the overall thrashing of the disk and the directories can be cleaned easily without digging deep. This process can be utilised without having to install your itsy bitsy utilities like power calculator, opera, clear tweak and innumerable others!! The best part of this whole method is you can back up your data fairy easily by backing your folders which are located at one fine point only.
