For the moment the only thing I know is just put the .msp in the \UPDATES folder of your office install and it will install it automatically

thx for the answer, i'll change that in my oemdriverpath then. Just another question, I read somewhere that those folders need to be 8 chars max, is it true?

I have a small question, I intend to use my xp unattended both on my laptop and my home PC, but drivers are of course different, I was wondering if I can put sub folders in my oemdriverpath? my graphic card path is 002_gfx and I want to make a subfolder called NVIDIA(for my home PC) and another called ATI (for my laptop) So when new drivers are out I can replace the old ones and be sure there is no crap left. but will xp go into those subfolders to check for them or do I need to put the ini file in the oemdriverpath and edit it to put the correct path after?

thx for the taskbar tips I'll try that. Does it also keep the internet tool bar settings? I use small icons, no text, remove almost every icons and keep the url bar next to the icons.

Here are my 2 cents: These are my folder settings and start menu settings. I have not doc all keys since not sure for certain ones. To make it short: All the "Startxxx" are for the startmenu Almost all other are for the folder settings. The "Start_ShowXXXX" basically tells if the icon will be displayed or not. 0= Not shown 1= Shown (Display as link) 2= display as Menu (means it will expand when moused over) the 2 dword is not applicable to all icons, be sure to check. ; My explorer & start menu settings [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] ;Show hidden files "Hidden"=dword:00000001 ; show known file extentions "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 ; show full path in titlebar "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 ; shows "tips" when mouse over the folder like size (I think) "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000000 "WebView"=dword:00000001 "Filter"=dword:00000000 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000 "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000001 "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001 "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000001 "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002 ; "connect to" icon in start menu: 0-don' t show 1-show 2-show and expand (default) "Start_ShowNetConn"=dword:00000000 ; Start Menu Icon size 0-Small 1-Large (default) "Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000000 ; that one is pretty selfexplained "Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001 "Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001 "Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002 "Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000001 "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000 "Start_AdminToolsRoot"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuAdminTools"=dword:00000001 "TaskbarSizeMove"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarGlomming"=dword:00000001 "NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001 "FolderContentsInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "FriendlyTree"=dword:00000001 "WebViewBarricade"=dword:00000001 "DisableThumbnailCache"=dword:00000001 "ShowSuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001 "PersistBrowsers"=dword:00000000 "CascadeNetworkConnections"="YES" "Start_ShowNetPlaces"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowSetProgramAccessAndDefaults"=dword:00000000 PS: To see the changes in the start keys you need to logoff logon! for my folder options settings here are what they are : UNCHECKED: Auto search network for printer Hide extention for known file type Launch folder windows in separate process Remember each folder view settings restore previous folder windows at logon Show control Pannel In MyComputer use simple file sharing Hope that can help some of you guys HIdden files and folder is set to show hidden files and folder.
