I'll try uharc 0.4 as Werner from maximumcompression.com told me. Thanks all !

thank you very much for your time. I'll try that.

Hum I didn't explain that very well. I will send (with Ghost) a script on a remote computer. There, i'll launch that file and this file (launched by the SYSTEM account) would change the registry entries. the batch or script would do this: other ideas?

thanks a lot ! I'll try these ones (not winrar and winzip, they have a windows gui and I don't want to install any software) We already have ultimate zip installed (I will also try if this one has a command line tool) thanks

Hi *I will remotely send files to my computers (on a school lan) I will not disturb users and that's why I want to do that silently. I'm using windows 2000 and I would like to use a command line compression utility whitch I could use in my batch scripts. I wanted to compress the files and then in my script (batch file) uncompress that. Is there better than pkzip or pkunzip? (FREE tool)

you can use registry entries like [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] ;Enlève la commande Panneau de configuration et imprimantes dans Démarrer\Paramètres. ;"NoSetFolders"=dword:00000001 ;Empêche Windows d'exécuter les programmes que vous spécifiez dans cette stratégie.

If the user changes it's name and if he has some power rights, he will ba able to install software.

hum ok, I've got this in windows 2000 (regedt32.exe), but I would like to automate this with a script or something like that. Why? Because I have to change some settings remotely on about 300 machines....with Norton ghost, which uses the SYSTEM account to work on remote computers. I would like to "find" "user1" pid automaticaly and then put it into a variable, and then use reg.exe or another tool to change their settings. any ideas?

I Found reg.exe v3.0, thanks any ideas about is it possible to do this just like an "ipn" variable? for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%A in ('ipn') do set logname=%%A echo %logname%: >> t:\Logs\name.txt for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%A in ('<vbsscript>') do set pid=%%A (pid= S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001) reg add hku\%pid%\blablabla? ?

whaou !!!!! I love you ! thanks it works !

Hi all, I'm using norton ghost 8.0 corporate edition to install software on client machines, and I now have a problem with installing MSI files. NB: Norton ghost works with SYSTEM account to gain Administrator privileges when installing software. my code: (.cmd) start /wait t:\Installs\Ie6\FLAT\WIN32\FR\ie6setup.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO Internet Explorer install‚... ECHO Installation du correctif KB823353 start /wait t:\hotfixes\IE6\KB823353.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO Installation du correctif KB833989 start /wait t:\hotfixes\IE6\KB833989.exe /Q:A /R:N ECHO Installation du correctif KB834707 start /wait t:\hotfixes\IE6\KB834707.exe /Q /O /Z ECHO Installation du correctif KB867801 start /wait t:\hotfixes\IE6\KB867801.exe /Q:A /R:N [some code] I tried echo macromedia flash and shockwave plugin t:\Installs\Plugins\Flash\flsw.msi /QN REBOOT=ReallySuppress and msiexec.exe /i flsw.msi /QN REBOOT=ReallySuppress [some code] t:\Installs\Plugins\j2re\java2re.msi /G1036 /QN ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 NETSCAPE6=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress JAVAUPDATE=0 WEBSTARTICON=0 [some code] .... java2re.msi works perfectly, The problem is: flsw.msi works when I install it with an administrator account, (same command line) but not when I try to install it thru norton ghost. Is the flash/shockwave plugin working only for one user account?? error in log returned: Internal error 2103. 26 which corresponds to error (I think): Internal Error 2103 "Could not resolve path for shell folder". Any ideas? Thanks

ok , I made a mistake! w2k works, I launched regedit and didn't found anything about hives. Had to launch regedt32.exe. :-) thx

hi! the "start %systemdrive%\temp\restart.cmd" was enough! thx a lot! I used the call function or just %systemdrive%\temp\restart.cmd, which didn't work. I think I have plenty of things to learn about batch files ;-) It works perfectly (will retry to be sure ;-) )

Hi all! I have a little "problem", I would like to hide a batch file then at some moment in it, unhide it. i Explain: I created a shortcut which starts minimized, ok. at the end of the launched cmd file, I would like to start another one but àat this time unhided. .cmd number one: (minimised) [some code] ::I tried call %systemdrive%\temp\restard.cmd ::oR %systemdrive%\temp\restard.lnk (normal windowed link which launches restart.cmd) but this doesn't work. This is to remotely install some software, and then at the end of installation, ask the user to restart or not .cmd number two (restart.cmd): (should be visible) [some code] :shutdown set choice= SET /P choice=Etes-vous sur(e) d'avoir sauvegard‚ tous vos documents ouverts? (o/n) if not '%choice%'=='' set choice=%choice:~0,5% if '%choice%'=='n' goto exit if '%choice%'=='o' goto shutdown1 if '%choice%'=='N' goto exit if '%choice%'=='O' goto shutdown1 ECHO "%choice%" n'est pas une entr‚e valide, r‚essayez SVP. ECHO. pause GOTO shutdown shutdown1 call "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\shutdown.exe" -r 4 :exit is this possible? NB: If this can help, I'm working on W2k.

thanks a lot! could you send the "new" reg.exe v3.0? I tried the .vbs ;but it showed me plenty of little windows (with user name, sid ....) is it possible to do this just like an "ipn" variable? for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%A in ('ipn') do set logname=%%A echo %logname%: >> t:\Logs\name.txt for /F "tokens=1 delims=." %%A in ('<vbsscript>') do set pid=%%A (pid= S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001) reg add hku\%pid%\blablabla?

is the windows XP version newer than this one? Command-line registry manipulation utility version 1.10. Copyright Microsoft Corporation 1997. All rights reserved.

thanks a lot for your presious help! i'll try and tell you ! THX ! (perhaps only on tuesday:-) )

hum, I work on Win2k, that's why it didn't work....

hum, reg (import)? is that an external program ?

hum I didn't know that. I have restricted the registry acces to other users, that's why I wanted to inser value into it with administrator or System account... I have to check reg ADD.....

hum great interesting! but how can I extract the pid from the registry and put it into a variable, all that with a script? For example: name=user1 pid= S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001 -> get way to user1 (hklm\...) ->user1 pid = S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001 -> insert S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001 into variable customisation.cmd: hkey_user\S-1-5-21-1605980848-1645125239-839522115-1001\blablabla regedit /s bla bla bla any ideas?->

Sorry for this late answer, I forgot the post :/ My company finaly decided to buy Norton ghost corporate 8.0, which is not the best I think, but anyway... I have to use this one ;-)

thanx for responding! I already check your url but I would like to do it with a script. I'll try to look at your second Idea Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I would like to know if it exists a tool to change registry settings from an unconnected account: for example I would like to change a user HKCU setting but I'm loggued as administrator or SYSTEM Account. OR Is it possible through script or .cmd file (not the runas command, because it should be without user entry) because My users can't write into the registry and I would like to, with a script or a special program to launch at startup. (RunOnce) any ideas?

hum, and what about windows 2000?

hihihi Paul, your users are as good as mine ! Mine also say the computer doesn't work anymore when a desktop icon has moved or when we upgrade some stuff.... awesome! They already have a network shared place where they can put all their files but all the department can view their personal things if they put this inton that place. And I don't want to create a personal workplace on the network for 600 people ! :/ That's why we actually have a partition on local drives where they can polluate as much as they want... Thanks also to Jito463, We use norton ghost corporate, and we col clone every night if we wanted to but those admins (school personal) would cut my neck if I would do so !! I would appreciate any program which would tell the user: "You can't write your .doc here !!" ...
