Are you sure you need the double %%? I think they'll result in D:\%USERNAME%\. Try @ECHO OFF&SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SET DRIVE=D: REM ~ SET USF=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders REM ~ SET MYDOC=%DRIVE%\%%USERNAME%%\My Documents ECHO %USERNAME% ECHO %DRIVE%\%%USERNAME%%\ ECHO %DRIVE%\%USERNAME%\ PAUSE

@Yzöwl Cool! That's for the post-installation phase. winnt.sif is shorter, but it works only during install. Can you explain this line please SET MYDOC=%DRIVE%\%%USERNAME%%\My DocumentsWhat's the %USERNAME% for? I love quick edit feature

@costi The solution above moves My Documents folder, not Documents and Settings. In order to move the entire Documents and Settings you'd better use [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" I never tried to backup and restore the junction points, can't help you.

[Question] - Adding MUI Packs (Language Packs) to a SP2 installtion?
Vadikan replied to wriggerz's topic in Windows XP
You cannot slipstream MUI packs into the source, but they can be added to the CD for unattended installation. See muisetup.hlp for the switches. MUI can be installed from cmdlines.txt, and such approach results in the localized interface at the first logon. Installing MUI at first logon localizes the interface after reboot. -
setting path and adding a user
Vadikan replied to pcdreams's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
You got to download it. Start with clicking on pathman in my previous post Added. I think it's packed in MSI, just install the MSI and you'll find pathman in system32. Drop pathman.exe into your OEM folders and enjoy -
@costi If the code scares you, open regedit, locate the keys, make the changes manually, and then export the keys. That way you won't depend on someone else's code. Nothing against The Black Cloud's post, though.

setting path and adding a user
Vadikan replied to pcdreams's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Are you trying to add %systemdrive%\perl\bin to the PATH permanently? May I suggest pathman? It works for me all the time. pathman /as %systemdrive%\perl\binif I remember the switches correctly. -
IIRC, the /i switch defines the language installed andt the /d switch defines the default language. If you don't spefcify the default language, then the OS language (EN, apparently) will stay default. Therefore, MUISETUP.EXE /i 0411 /r /s as The Black Cloud said.

I think Zxian answered the question better than it was asked (at least in the thread title): if you want to have a recovery partition, use the system image, as it's faster to deploy. However, having a recovery partition on the same drive is kind of risky. What if the HDD dies? You loose not only your data, but also the recovery image. Another HDD or optical media is a better backup option, IMHO.

The discussion about hiding console windows never ends Every time somebody brings up the subject I see new solutions. I think we need a page in uA guide with as much solutions as possible, so everybody can choose the "best" one I forgot to give a credit to the author of the hidcon utility. This is Oleg from http://unattended.solta.ru/

Try hidcon Usage: hidcon batch.cmd

@twizt3d What's the point? Added: Never mind, he's a cross-poster...

what's the means?txtsetup.sif value
Vadikan replied to secowu's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
@secowu Search is your best friend. Try txtsetup* in the thread titles. -
@MHz Oh, yeah, I do Thanks for pointing out. I admit I've never paid much attention to it.
-
What you are adding are not commands, but command line applications. I think "help" just lists the Windows Command line Interpreter (cmd.exe) commands. Feel the difference?

Slipstreaming Office 2003 and Xp Professional
Vadikan replied to phatcat42141's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
You cannot slipstream Office into the XP source. XP is an operating system, and Office is not the component of this operating system, and therefore cannot be slipstreamed. You can place Office on the same medium with XP and install the former after the latter. Please, read the unattended guide to find out how... -
[ guide | article ] Registry Tweaks
Vadikan replied to Vadikan's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
@ccc Your guess is correct. The thread you're reading was not sticky at the time the quoted post was made -
Minimizing apps to tray is not on the top of the MS's priorities list I use Windows PowerPro. Minimizing to tray is just 0.01% of it's abilities, and can be assigned the way you want. I have it with right click on Minimize [_] button. And here's what I set to the middle mouse click on window caption The configuration of PowerPro is not pretty straight forward, but it takes just under 2mb of memory.

@spacesurfer You're correct, the thread shoudn't have been moved. There's a way with third party utilities. Google.com and the query "minimize to tray" "outlook express"will pleasantly surprise you As you see, perhaps, the thread shoudn't have been created LOL Unfortunately, there's no way w/o third party utilities.

remove shortcut arrow(another way)
Vadikan replied to Rico.JohnnY's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
@Rico.JohnnY Thanks. Actually, the "normal" method (delete isshortcut value) is not normal at all. For example, hotkeys assigned to the shortcuts won't work. Launching shortcuts from TotalCommander won't work either. -
Making Unattended Intermediate CD Clarrification
Vadikan replied to harryhoudini66's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
OEM path specified in the answer file won't work for the CD/DVD based installations. The $OEM$ folder must be located in the root of the CD (or to be exact on the same level with i386). When the first log on occurs. The batch files are typically copied to HDD via the OEM folders. -

disable "new hardware device found wizard"
Vadikan replied to bartb's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Is this a tray (notification area) popup? Off the top of my head... What about [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000 -
Adding values under the "Default User" registry key
Vadikan replied to Bezalel's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
@MHz I see. The problem with the offline version is you can't give a link to the specific article... Anyway, the question has been answered
