This fits best i guess. Its an exe/vbs program. And its 100% free. Configurable as far as your vb knowledge goes (well, i dont know), but my vb knowledge is more like 0.001% or something, because i cant even imagine how to change this little vb script to fit my needs... How can i add shortcuts? Or an executable? Or a folder on my disk? Its from the WeOnlyDo! Team. This is where you can get it. Please, if anyone can figure out how this could be used please give us a little introduction on programming this single vb script... I hope its not to much what im asking for. This is how the original vbscript will change the rightclick context menu (ignore the picture please). @dtmunir If this wont work maybe you want to change your shell This picture is taken from LiteStep, a free win32 shell for windows. (Btw, if anyone knows where to get this picture, ... tell me please, i really like it )

Anyone knows of a program that adds my programsfolder in my startmenu to my rightclick context menu? or even the whole startbutton menu ? Best would be a dll that could do it so that i could use it easily on my unattended cd! Im still searching on google for this but if someone here already did that please say so...

New profile directories will be created on first logon. Getting their registry out of the default user profile. I guess i should wait until shellon will support this. Its in the todo list of the shellon programmer! but also he said that it could take a long time until the next release....

Ive just created 5 new Users and nothing changed in there. What i know is that users are saved as NTUser.Dat files in the profiles directory. they will be loaded into the registry after first logon. Maybe that key will change after logon with the new users. Is there a way to edit these ntuser.dat files directly? I will try google to find out.... /edit Looks like there is no way to edit ntuser.dat files directly as microsoft only implemented editing the registry while it is loaded into memory. User.dat files can be loaded into memory using the registry editor. Those HKC entries are created after a new user logs on the first time. This is how the keys look like: S-1-5-21-1614895754-329068152-839522115-1013 (Userx) S-1-5-21-1614895754-329068152-839522115-1014 (Usery) S-1-5-21-1614895754-329068152-839522115-1015 (Userz) Its sorted as created in chronological order. Doesnt matter what user logged on first, the key is defined before first logon. The first key is S-1-5-21-1614895754-329068152-839522115-1003 (Usera) 1, 2 and 3 are missing, maybe because of the helpassistant, the guest account and the Ms support account.

Thx for the link, but i guess it cant be done with these programs or the registry, except if i would do a restart for every user/shell i want to install. (but i need to read a little more about shellon, its planned to add this feature in the future...) If there would be a way to do a fastuserswitch, or simply logoff and logon it would be better. But this rightclick method seems to be the best if i could find out how to do it with a command shell.

Hi all, I want to install 3 different Shells on three different users and one user will use the default explorer shell. can someone give me some information on how to do this? anyone tried yet? i dont want to reboot for doing this. It should be something like this: /Edit. Well, i`ve just found a way to logon as the default user and install programs from this account for any other account that has been created! Only limitation is that the accounts must have been protected with a password. If u hold down the shift key and right-click on an file there will be an option "Open as". Click on it and u can choose the account on which the software should be installed on. But i still need to find out how to do this in a batchfile... Anyone knows how to find out?

hi all, i`ve written a really simple html page for my active desktop. it contains a frameset with two frames. left and right. on the left are the links that should be opened in the right frame. everything works fine in a browser window. but on my desktop itll open in a new browser window instead of the right frame. Must have to do something about Active Desktop. But how can i force the pages to open in my right frame?

Why do you want to remove parts of IE if you are currently using it or its engine? Instead of removing the iexplore.exe it would be better to disable it. MyIE should work if its enabled/disabled or deleted and as long as you don not remove the ie engine you can access the web through explore.exe. Updates and whatever should work. As long as you dont delete to much stuff. But as far as i know youll need iexplore installed on your system somehow to gain access to the windowsupdate site. so at least the engine should stay. I missed the topic somehow but here is what XPLite deleted for removing my IE. I dont put the registry changes in here because there are about 2000 lines changed/deleted/added. If i should post the registry changes say so.

I did that. I uninstalled the Internet Explorer using XPLite. Well, what it did to my system wasnt nice. Network installation was impossible after removing. Nothing was listed in the Networkdriver fields (TCP/PPPoE/NetBIOS/...). Even after reinstalling TCPIP Protocolls and some more stuff using Windows setup. The installed drivers and hardware in the hardware devicelist wasnt available anymore. All i got was a blank white window. Even reinstalling the IE using XPLite brought nothing. And at least i thought the engine would be removed but it wasnt. Trying to access a site in an explorer window after removing IE and restarting the computer showed up the normal 404 not found message or whatever. Ive taken a snapshop using symantec ghost software. so after ill have installed ghost on this windows i can post the changes made. But it wasnt a new installed windows, it was a normal installation with tons of software and upgrades on it. maybe itll work fine removing the IE on a clean installation with XPLite.

Does that mean i can only aplly them with XPLite? Ive tried the components config above, everything is fine. Though i havent checked them but the zipfunction is still enabled after installation. But thats not a real problem.

Good to know. But what does it do to all the programs? Or is it maybe for shut down processes? At least its not a virus, tahts good, so i let it be as it is now. Ill try some things with it some day... Thx for your info on this. Ohhh, censored, hehe

Again i came across this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileAssociation Name: KILLLIST Value: %1;explorer.exe;dvdplay.exe;mplay32.exe;msohtmed.exe;quikview.exe;rundll.exe;rundll32.exe;taskman.exe ;bck32api.dll; Heh, and i was wondering why every explorer based window is closed one second after opened. Now i guess i know why That was set through a virus, ****, must be, i hate this hackers***. But ok, if its doing what it says it should be good for temporarily adding some tasks so itll kills them during my unattended setup. What you think?

If u would sort them it would be easier to read through and see changes. just type "sort %PATH%\unsorted.txt >%PATH%\sorted.txt" (sort input >output) w/o the quotes. sort is included in xp installation. DisableSecurityCenterAlerts is new to me

Hi all, while changing something in my registry and exporting keys it annoys (?i bet this is spelled wrong) me looking at the exported reg files finding the whole structure in them instead of only the one value. So i started reading through them deleting unneccesary things when found. (YES, i do such strange things). So first can any other editor do it better? But what i`ve found after a while was the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OC Manager\Subcomponents] (OC Manager = Object Components Manager ?) About 162 Options to choose from are listed there. I`ve sorted (sort,sort,sort? or sort,sorted,sorted? ; ) them and added those which i found in the other thread about this part of winnt.sif. It would be great if a few people here could look at that key in their registry and check if there are options listed that are not listed below. Thats it.

i just havent been on the mainpage of msfn yet, not really. if i knew that i wouldnt have posted links. dont worry about that. "ok" somehow was to short for me so i wrote "ok, sorry" making it readable...

You are so **** right... -.- Thanks AaronXP, thanks Alanoll for support. Its not Administrators. Im running the german version and its administratoren what i have to use. Thats it, i guess the next version will work 100% fine

ive just looked at winamp.com but there is no direct link. maybe im wrong and it is already linked on their page. ok, sorry

Well, thats exactly the site i looked at. Below is whats in my configs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WINNT.SIF ... [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="00" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=110 OemSkipWelcome=1 ProfilesDir="C:\Profiles" ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CMDLINES.TXT [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg" "REGEDIT /S regupd.reg" "REGEDIT /S divxvid.reg" "divxvid.cmd" "runonceex.cmd" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- USERACCOUNTS.CMD ... net user JeyJey 00 /add net localgroup Administrators JeyJey /add REGEDIT /S autologon.reg xcacls.exe C:\Programs\Agent\Data /T /E /C /G JEYJEY:F /Y (<--- New input, not tested yet) EXIT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AUTOLOGON.REG Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="JeyJey" "DefaultPassword"="00" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess everything is right here, isnt it?

I did that! I`ve set the GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif to AdminPassword="00" and EncryptedAdminPassword=No. The User is set through commands.txt. I dont know what wrong, everything is exactly like in the Tutorials!

Before first installation (Nero right now), i have to choose the user to install the software to. And i can choose the user i created during setup and set it to install programs to this user by default. Or i can choose the admins account. How can i automate that, so the system will install software to the user i created during setup? Know what i mean? Pleaseeeeeeeee ! I guess thats the very last thing on my first unattended xp thats not automated. ****, and hes telling me i need admin rights for installation? i thought i had given that to the account... grml ... through xcacls.exe... i have to check that but how to set my new user as default for installing progrmas during runonceex? PPPPlz... Anyone knows that?

its not being modified during setup? alway the same? Thats nice! ill check that. Thx

How can i? I just want my system to be ready right after setup. Works great, np @ all, just installed my first almost Real Unattended xp. xcacls.exe is exactly what i searched for. Thank you enuffsaid

is there a command utility so i can replace the hide strings in sysoc.inf during/after setup? //edit well, i guess findstr should be abled to do it... anyone knows the options i have to set?

Im not that deep in testing my unattended versions but at least installation works fine ; ) never tried to uninstall and my folders are still on my systemdrive. Im happy if they at least will be installed during setup.

Ive used both guides. First the one with all the batch files so i get about 180MB. Freeing up about 300Megs. So that was for getting it small. After done that and testet that it works i applied the Reducing Size of Source Guide written by Gosh i guess to get it booting. With all the files on his page this second step took me about 5 minutes (well, not exactly) to get the cd booting to start its unattended thing. It works perfect! My XPCD-SP1 without any additions is now 175.000k small. gives me about 525.000k free space left for whatever i want it to be used for. Im planning to use about 225.000k for additions and 300.000k for office. Ive read that it would be possible using both guides to get the base install to about 150Megs. But i really dont know what to delete after all this is done. Maybe the OEMBios.BI_? I dont know and i guess at least not this file. (But its 14 Megs) Ill give it a try someday when absolutely all works the way i want it to and a master iso is saved at a secure place! (Well, i just deleted my only english sp1 orig version through some stupid operations with WinISO -.-).
