ah yeh but i've found u can do it by resource hackign shell32.dll but i need osme code for the system link. dunno

god **** reply someone

in start menu under settings I want to put a link to System in control panel where netowork and printers and faxes are i've used resource editor and foudn the menu script, but i need some id code for System which i dont' have does anyone have it, or know a better way? also the menu script is under explorer.exe, menu, 204 Thanks One more thing how can i make my comp a ICS server using my cable modem with winnt.sif or registry.

heh it would still not have worked cos stupid me didnt' read userexecute help properly where it said its for running post installation things. After cmdlines.txt anyway i used it to run my RunOnceEx.cmd files but i renamed them to athlonEx.cmd and athlonXPEx.cmd heh i just looked at code and i dont' think i even spelled userexecute properly when i tried running athlon.cmd from there. hehe oh well u learn

i just got a brainstorm what if i just use userexcute to run athlonEx.cmd or athlonXPEX.cmd which are reall RunOnceEx.cmd but for the different setups. and i let detachedprogram run $1.exe this came to me as i was about to go sleep, and i've been awake 5hrs past my bedtime already

ah thanks dude got it worknig i shift f10 and found that file was being extracted so i ran %systemdrive%\RunOnceEx.cmd from another batch file called by cmdlines.txt, cos how u said that cmdlines.txt doesn't like variables. And it worked!!! thanks once again ah got it working had to use another batch called by cmdlines.txt which called RunOnceEx.cmd since cmdlines.txt doesn't like variables thanks hey i got another problem i'm trying to call two exe files from winnt.sif i tried givnig detachedprogram a cmd file that runs two exe self extractors but didn't work... i tried userexcute="CMD.exe /K athlonxp.exe" and using detachedprogram to run $1.exe but didn't work.. i tried giving userexecute a batch file which runs athlonxp.exe and detachedproigram running $1.exe but didn't work... i'm outta ideas basically i have two winnt.sif files, they one calls athlon.exe and the other athlonxp.exe they both extract different RunOnceEx.cmd files, but both winnt.sif's also call $1.exe which extracts the $1 folder. hehe wat a hack also what file or watever sets the %SystemDrive% variable and can i set my own in winnt.sif and have it still available during cmdlines.txt?

I got my install cd working , but not completly, i fix one problem and another one comes up so far i have used this guide and everythign works http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ i have 3 version of xp pro launchgin from cdshell My Cdshell.ini file i have 3 folders, PRO1, PRO2, PRO3, pro1 and pro2 having winnt.sif files My winnt.sif file for Athlon install My winntxp.sif file for AthlonXP install note: they are both called winnt.sif on my comp. in the winnt.sif file i use the follow DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\athlon.exe" Arguments="-y /q /r:n" and DetachedProgram = "%SystemDrive%\athlonxp.exe" Arguments="-y /q /r:n" now athlon.exe/athlonxp.exe are in $oem$ and are a self extracting exe containing RunOnceEx.cmd files, i have RunOnceEx.cmd under cmdlines.txt. now say athlon setup excutes it calls winnt.sif which calls the athlon.exe at T39mins or watever and uses the arguments to extract the athlon version of RunOnceEx.cmd which cmdlines.txt should call at T12mins and if athlonxp setup exuctes it should do the same but extract the athlonxp verison of runonceex in the athlonxp.exe. now my problem is that it doens't work i know my RunOnceEx.cmd files work i know cmdlines.txt is calling them. I think the detachedprogram command is working since i see at dos popup at T39mins and the file should extract cos i tried it with the arguments in cmd. even after all that it doesn't work i tried another method first with batch files renameing other files to RunOnceEx.cmd but that didn't work and had alot of extra cmd files. Someone plz help

thanks i've used the cdshell method of calling images and its working perfect only thing i can't figure out how to do is boot winnt.sif from a floopy. thanks

Can someone tell me hwo to install winproxy 5 silent, but more importantly how to configure it from my RunOnceEx file, like registry keys to change things.

Hi i'm making unattended xp setup for two computers, and i'm installing different programs on different comps i plan to load command.com and when it runs autoexec.bat it'll let me choose which computer's configuration to use when isntalling xp. Here' my autoexec.bat file if EXIST a:\winnt.sif goto :FDD :SETUPclsecho.echo Please Select The Folloing Optionsecho. echo.echo 1. Install Windows XP For Athlonecho 2.

Here's my winntathlon.sif file, i've only left the important bits on [GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\athlon.cmdHere's my winntathlonxp.sif file [GuiRunOnce]%systemdrive%\install\athlonxp.cmdhere's my athlon.cmd file rename %systemdrive%\Install\AthlonEx.cmd RunOnceEx.cmdand my athlonxp.cmd file rename %systemdrive%\Install\AthlonXPEX.cmd RunOnceEx.cmdyeh and all my programs to install and stuff are in the RunOnceEx files for those who cbf reading all that, basically autoexec.bat gives the user choices on wat xp install to use, then based on that runs winnt.exe using the answer file and that answer file runs the batch file for that setup which renames the batch file RunOnceEx so it gets called by cmdlines.txt. this is my file structure command.com autoexec.bat io.sys msdos.sys config.sys getkeyd.exe [XP-CD] @@@@$OEM$ etc my problem is that when i burn the cd command.com doesn't load, i've read alot of tutorials on making boot cd's but it never works, i've wasted alot of cd tyrign to get it working. Can someone help me?
