You should try searching the web as well. A google search found this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=20491 That's not an admonishment, just a tip

He needs to open InstallShield Cab files. Most archive programs just choke on 'em.

I remember reading that some months ago but that has long since flown out the window.

This one is shareware. Haven't been able to find a freeware app that will do this. http://www.foobarsoftware.com/

I just tried out the latest XPCreate. Everything went perfect on the first go. Thanks for a great program GreenMachine

Lol, okay. Seems strange that those same usernames are in scripts on this site. Have you searched through your unattended files for those names?

Have you ever used Xplode? I did a search on the forums for those usernames and turned up this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...=0entry106932 In the posted XPlode.xml file, I saw this: <adduser username='Spike' password='swordfish' groups='Administrators "Cowboy Bebop"' fullname='Spike Spiegel' comment="Don't mess with the best!" /> <adduser username='Jet' password='hammerhead' groups='Administrators "Cowboy Bebop"' fullname='Jet Black' comment="When the Black Dog bites, he don't let go!" /> Did you happen to use this by chance?

http://www.lpacomputers.telinco.co.uk/ The bottom link at the above page is the Unvervsal Boot Disk. I was able to boot with the floppy it created and launch I386\winnt.exe from an NTFS partition. Download the zipfile, extract the contents to a folder, put a blank floppy in the drive and run MAKEUBD.BAT. My system froze up during the loading of the CD-ROM driver. If you have the same problem, delete this from the autoexec.bat: IF NOT EXIST %RAMD%:\CDROM.BAT GOTO IOMEGA ECHO. CHOICE Load CD-ROM driver (2 Ä with custom drivers) /C:012 /T:1,3 IF ERRORLEVEL 3 SET CDROMCMD=/C IF ERRORLEVEL 2 CALL %RAMD%:\CDROM.BAT %CDROMCMD% SET CDROMCMD= It's a pretty slick setup as far as floppy boot disks go. It's probably overkill for the simple task of launching winnt.exe but there are quite of few useful utilities. For myself, I'm going to slim it down somewhat to get rid of the things I won't use.

If your XP source files are on an NTFS partiton, then a DOS boot disk will not work. You can't access NTFS partitions from DOS You can reformat the partition as FAT16. A normal Dos Boot Disk will be able to read that. Or make yourself a bartpe CD: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

Those type of scams are all too common. I get email of that ilk nearly everyday. http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/con...0311223&EID=682

Use [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] instead. Import your reg tweaks from cmdlines.txt

Great Glad you got it working.

Go to Microsoft download site and get the latest Visual Basic 6 runtime file. advpack.dll is one of the files in that installation. Edit: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en The first link wasn't the latest version. ^^ This link is...

What's the full error message?

I'm guessing any system variable that contains spaces when resolved would require the full path to be quoted.

I believe WindowBlinds would be the culprit in your case.

When I was using IE, I set my cache to 64MB. I'm on a dialup up connection and that was plenty. I really didn't worry about clearing the cache unless I was having problems. I use Firefox and the cache is set to 50MB by default. It does just fine. If you have a broadband connection, you should set the cache even lower. ~10MB should be sufficient. Having too large of a cache is going to lower performance.

hmm, not sure if this will work but in Tweakui there is an option under repair that will rebuild explorer icons. Might give it a try...

Yes. I use bartpe all the time. I can read from and write to NTFS volumes just fine. Come on, try it. You'll love it. Edit: This is taken from the BartPE website:

You can use to recovery console to remove those files: http://www.wown.com/j_helmig/wxprcons.htm Follow the instructions at the above site. Once you are at the command prompt, go to the directory these are in and delete them.

You can use the %systemdrive% variable in the shortcut target. Just make your shortcuts and copy them over during installation.

See http://users.compaqnet.be/cn021945/RAMDisk/RAMDisk.htm A search for 'Ramdisk' on google or another search engine will yield many results.

You're welcome. I'm just glad there aren't that many themes that come with XP

BartPE might be overkill for what you need to do but it will work. It's a pretty useful tool.
