That did the trick thanks very much

I am using some of the tweaks and thanks for that. But I have one question. The tweak ;Right-click any drive to close the tray of the optical drive (Requires CDR.exe in system32) [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\draw] @="Close CD-&tray" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\draw\command] @="cdr.exe close ALL" Speaks of putting cdr.exe into system32 does anybody know where I can find the cdr.exe that I must use?

Okee, I have bought me an new pc with MCE and an upgrade to Vista home primium. My question is can I do an clean install with the upgrade dvd? I know that this was posible with the old Win98, when I installed the upgrade it asked for the Win95 cd to verify some files, and installed fine. I prefer an clean install, and allso that way I don't need to install twice first mce and after vista. TIA DaRKNeSS

I didn't worked with my unatended install geting errors (somthing about line 6 sign 1) But when I am running the script after my setup is finished no problems. I it possible that I must run the script before I install zonealarm? I will try this anyway wish me luck. DaRKNeSS

I have got it!!!! Indeed if I ran the script I was getting an error (line6 Nmb 140). I have counted the symbol numbers. And it was the sleep comand. Just one enter and it launced okee from whitin my RunOnceEx. I am working on some other Apps now if they are ready, I am going to burn (dvdrw) and going to test it for real. I learned a lot this way Thanks for your help. DaRKNeSS

gunsmokingman Don't get me wrong I like that you are trying to help me. But I see you have edited the script for the german language, but I am from Holland Are there some major error's in the script I made?? 'Script to Auto Arrange Desktop Icons Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'Minimize all open windows WshShell.Run """C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Bureaublad weergeven.scf""" WScript.Sleep 1000 'Refresh Desktop WshShell.sendkeys "{F5}" WScript.Sleep 500 'Auto Sort Icons WshShell.sendkeys "+{F10}" WshShell.sendkeys "S" WshShell.sendkeys "h" I like to try things my self, so I can learn from my misstakes and I now what I am doing with my own system. If I am right this script does everytime an Auto sort of the icons I think I am going to change that in, that it is doing that just once. Gues I have to change the WshShell.sendkeys. I am going to try to just put it in my RunOnceEx with this line REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Sort Desktop Icons" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Apps\SortIcon.vbs" /f and try it that way. I thought I had to put some sort .vbs app in my I386 or something. I never guest that it would be that easy. DaRKNeSS

gunsmokingman I am using the RunOnceEx method to install all of my apps. DaRKNeSS

Hi all I have found a script on the MS oem site that is sorting up your desktop automaticley. I already customised the script to my native language of MS xp pro. But now I am stuck. Where do I put this script? On the oem site they say But this is magic to me. Is there any body out there who is able to help me? Greats DaRKNeSS PS; I have included the txt file i have saved witch will explain how to make the script so you can make one your self, I know I have search a long time to get my recycle bin out of its right corner. and now I am realy close autosort_desktop_icons.txt

Okee I am installing activesync silent and that is working fine. But now I still have one question, whit activesync 3.8 you could give your preferens whit silent.ini this isn't wortking any more. Does anybody know the solution for this? TIA D@RKNeSS

Why not Try it my way? I am making an unatended install first. If I am content with it I make a Gost image of it. If I than run in any troubels I simply replace the gost image. D@RKNeSS

I have voted once but that has to be twice each for one. D@RKNeSS

I am using both methods. First I am making an Unatended install witch is exactly the way I want it to be. And if I have instaled it Iam making an backup with Gost. Also I have my unatended install files on a separate partition so when a program is updateted (is that english ) I am only have to implemeted into my unatended Install dir. D@RKNeSS

@ Ben.Hahlen I dont have sleep.exe in system 32. can you point me were I can get it? @ Priapus I have tryed your sugestion buy that didn't work. Am I using the code corect? REG ADD %KEY%\99 /VE /D "Instalatie van Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\99 /V 1 /D "start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\PDA\setup.exe /s "silent.ini"" /f D@RKNeSS

Here also that same problem. I have made an scriot that is working good in windows. But when I am trying to run it from RunOnceExe, It isn't working. Can sombody help Us? D@RKNeSS

@ Priapus Thanks Going to try that. I was using this code. REG ADD %KEY%\990 /VE /D "Instalatie van Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\990 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\PDA\setup.exe /s "silent.ini"" /f I never have seen the wiat code before in RunOnceExe thought it was only used in batch comands. I think the NEWBIE is at place here @ Ben.Hahlen And I am going to try ths also This is (I hope) solve my problem wit MSASYNC. Thanks D@RKNeSS

Maybe this is some useful nfo. I had almost the same problem only it was with my custom boot screen. It didn't worked atall in vw ware but when I did use the same iso in a real setup. All was working fine. D@RKNeSS

BTW recent docs is this one ;NoRecentDocsmenu removes the recent documents from the start menu. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 And ofcourse I sugest reading the reg tweaks topic I know its a lot but use the search and you will find most of the thing you want. D@RKNeSS

You can use the folowing reg tweak and fine tune it the way you want. ;start menu tweaks [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001 "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000000 "WebView"=dword:00000001 "Filter"=dword:00000000 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000 "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000001 "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001 "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowNetPlaces_ShouldShow"=dword:00000041 "Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000001 "Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000006 "Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000001 "Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowSetProgramAccessAndDefaults"=dword:00000001 "Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002 "Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000001 "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000001 "Start_AdminToolsRoot"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuAdminTools"=dword:00000000 D@RKNeSS

Sorry for my late response. In my case everything is working fine no pop up screens op anything. Sorry but I am not giving you my Office dir It's iligal you know to use an other office than the one you Bought Hope you understand. BTW I have made my first install whit al the setings in default with my .mst. And when that was working I did chance something to make it more my own. D@RKNeSS

Mike0 I am installing it the way you say, and that works. But I have one question. When instaling it doesn't wait to finish. I mean as it is installing my RunOnce is going to the next ap etc... Is there a way to let RunOnce wait to finish install of msasync, and only getting further when install is finished? D@RKNeSS

Found already my own solution the code needed an extra " so now its REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 3 /D "\"%systemdrive%\Program Files\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120\_setup.exe\" /f D@RKNeSS

Okee that indeed fixed the main problem of the script going nuts. But now I have an problem installing the script. Iam using this code in run once REG ADD %KEY%\999 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\Program Files\Alcohol Soft\Alcohol 120\_setup.exe" /f But I am getting the error mesage Cant find C:\Program ?????? Is something wrong with my code??? D@RKNeSS

Thanks I gues this is indeed my problem. Stupid me I could have figered it out my self. Going to try that. D@RKNeSS

Finaly I have made my first script. And if I dont compile it to an .exe it is working fine. But if I am compiling it to an .exe, to run silently from my UA dvd, it's going into a loop. My taskbalk is overrun with only auto it icon's and eveything is freezing. Can somebody help this AutoIt newbie to get his script running? Or is it a smart idee to install the whole program and than run only the script itself? But how to run the script itself, I mean what switches to use. D@RKNeSS
