weird mine is transparent.. what colour mode are you in? might need 32bit

he speaketh the truth

just copy the path into windows explorer, and it'll come up

100% correct

make a folder called C:\XPMCE copy disc 1 contents and disc 2 contents to the folder do the nlite stuff, DONT remove WMP, or .netfx components, just burn with nlite using mce key and it'll work you don't need to edit any sif files if you use nlite

in the meantime, you can manually set it in Tools, FOlder Options, File Types.. advanced, change icon.. C:\WINDOWS\xpize\FileTypeIcons

by the way, have you heard of ryanvm's update pack? click the link in his sig, takes you his page where an update pack is realeased monthly, and its integratable in nlite as a hotfix.. saves all the hassle of searching hotfixes..

i don't mind helping, since you're on the right track and just new to this, everyone is new at something somepoint http://www.7-zip.org/download.html the 7zip command line version is there.. (7za.exe) if you place it in.. $OEM$\$$\system32 then you can call the program (7za.exe) without having to put a path in, because your pc looks at system32 as a default folder.. so place all the files you want as you want them into $progs, then highlight all the folders in $progs, do add to 7z, ultra, click ok.. called it say programs.7z ^delete the old contents of $progs, so you just have programs.7z then to extract it the command would be.. 7za x programs.7z -if you look at the 7zip.chm file they give you, its got some help under 'commands' saying how to extract and compress. the extraction process is a LOT faster than the compression -personally i use runonceex.cmd to run my commands http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ also, checkout cmdow.exe if you put that into system32 folder, then add this to the top of each batch file you use, it'll hide it from view.. -worth checking to see if your batches work 100% before putting that in, or they'll just pause and you won't know why.. download link here.. http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/index.html cmdow @ /HID cheers

you should use a new source each time you make a disc with nlite well if you're using addons you should anyway, just keep a copied C:\XPSP2 directory somewhere, easiest way

you might be able to just when it looks for the driver, point it at a full xpsp2 cd, well the I386 folder from one, and see if it finds it.. edit.. hope this helps! http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=Po...amp;qpid=226599

this is needed imo, so then you can go in and just enable the ones you may one, instead of having to trawl through each one.. -i keep visual styles and desktop icon dropshadows

try it out! i remove all drivers apart from infrared because i need it for bluetooth, then i just install my drivers for cpu, chipset, gfx, sound, network..

OEM folders are copied as is, ie, don't get compressed.. create a shortcut before hand, name it what you want, then copy it to here.. $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ $OEM$\$Docs\username\SendTo (it might work to make a SendTo link in the All Users section, i remove SendTo so i don't know) what you could do is compress your program files folders with 7zip to make a 7z file, then use command line 7zip (7za.exe) during cmdlines or whenever to uncompress the file to program files.. thats what i do -also, this is nothing to do with nlite!

using the below to install, but on its first run, it looks for the msi file, so i have to extract it.. anyone else get this problem, with 8.5 1788 the box comes up asking for the msi (like when you try to add an office component that is on the cd...) "O&O Defrag Professional Edition.msi" /qb regedit /s oodefrag.reg copy "%allusersprofile%\Desktop\O&O Defrag.lnk" "%windir%\system32\odefrag.lnk"

ahh gotcha

nlite still keeps a lot of fonts

use magic jellybean to see what your key is

use unstoppable copier with log mode enabled, then ask on here for the files that don't copy

users will soon disable these extra effects in preference for speed, i wouldn't worry about it

what program is it?

google for tweakui (its a windows xp powertoy -free) can change all kinds of settings like the ones above

Are there any adverse affects of doing this? I've done it on my dvd/xvid encoding pc, and never had any problems are there any programs that moan if they can't find their preferred font?

visit ryanvm forums, you'll have the ryanpack which takes care of dx9, fixes, updates, wmp10, installer he has a .net 2.0 switchless insatller, and shark007 has made a msn addon

you're missing the title SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "Programs" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\mpc.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\ccsetup.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\oodefrag.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 4 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\7zSetup.exe" /f

2. you use their modem, straight into your router, you can tell your router to do whatever you want, i use a mixture of static and dhcp, no problems, have done for years with dsl and cable, they're probably telling you to use dhcp, so you don't ring them up if you can't get manually issigned ip's to work (if you don't know how to set it up!) obviously just set your dns and gateways (on the clients) to 192.168.1.1 (if this is the default of your router)
