  1. tommyp: your solution worked. I removed the simple sharing setting, and changed the read-only attrib. However, I still don't know how to change the default location of windows update temp files.

    Curv Boll: thanks for your comment, but you are suggesting that I will manually download the updates...which I don't want to.

  2. Hi.

    Windows update create temp files on the hard disc under a hashed directory name and puts there a file called update.exe which updates the system.

    I have two problems:

    1. These temporary folders are created in a hard disk that i need for some special purposes, I want them to be created on my c: (boot) drive. How can I do that?

    2. I can't delete the old folders that were created, I get an "access denied" for the update.exe.

    I'm using WinXP Pro, and I'm the admin of the pc.

    Thanks.

  3. I think that the cmd file has an advantage when you do not want to copy the installation files to the HDD. I've created a WinXP DVD with tons of installations, so instead of copying 3GB to the hard drive twice (once the installation files, and once installing the apps themselves) they are just being installed once.

  4. HI.

    What registry setting should I make to make sure that my start menu is NOT classic?

    Thanks

    This has been mentioned on forum already many times.. Do a search for it.

    ;Control Panel - Classic View
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "ForceClassicControlPanel"=dword:00000001

    I am using the setting...but my start menu is classic (i.e. one column, no mfu).

    :)

  5. Hi.

    I'm getting close to my ultimate unattended WinXP DVD (mainly because I can't stuff anymore installations there...) thanks to this board.

    I've implemented some of the registry tweaks I've found here but I have two problems that I can't solve:

    1. The login screen is now black instead of blue.

    2. The start menu is classic and not WinXP start menu.

    I've tried to change almost every tweak, but could not find the solutin to these two.

    Any ideas?

    Thanx
