nLite don't only use this registry settings to disable WFP, it patch the DLL either (did you know that?). So if your script worked on your PC installed with an nLite CD then the answer is there. ...

You can delete your backgrounds because they are not in the WFP list. You cannot delete screen savers because they are in the WFP list. Don't scared about "DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM" with a modified SFC_OS.DLL - you will be the exception if it happens. If you just need to use unsigned theme then you can try StyleXP from TGT Soft or just a uxtheme.dll patcher. I think there's a way to patch without disabling WFP. Maybe someone could post more details about this procedure.

I'm not a genius but try this... RegSettings.inf ---------------- [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" [DefaultInstall] AddReg = RegSettings [RegSettings] HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.nfo\OpenWithProgids","nfo_auto_file",0x00030001,00

No you don't need to get register, the solution is below at the end of the page. There is few one I think good Solution #1 : In the logon script of users you put these lines. The first one add the printer and the second (if you want) make it the default printer. SERVER is the name of the server where the printer is connected and PRINTER is the shared printer name. RUNDLL32.EXE PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /IN /N \\SERVER\PRINTER 1 RUNDLL32.EXE PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /Y /N "PRINTER" Solution #2 : Copy-paste this VBScript in CONPRINT.VBS and add a line like: WSCRIPT.EXE CONPRINT.VBS \\SERVER\PRINTER in the users logon script for calling the connection. Set NetObj = CreateObject("WScript.Network") PRINTER = WScript.Arguments(0) NetObj.AddWindowsPrinterConnection PRINTER Solution #3 : Use a tool called CON2PRT.EXE I don't have a Windows Server domain so I have not tested these solutions but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Good luck

CORRECTION... I think it's not a driver installation problem. You just need to connect the printer to the client. It's a network printer so the driver is already installed on the server. You just need to connect the network printer to the client. Read this... the answer is there... Add network printers using a login script

For the #1 : I'm not sure what you want to do but for disabling the history you can use this registry entry. The button will not be accessible. Copy-paste this code in a .reg file and run it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel] "History"=dword:00000001 For #2 : If you want to disable recent folder. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001 "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 For #3 : Stop searching how to and use what is already available. Read this... Bypassing Windows File Protection For #4-#5 : You need a components remover. I'm working on it right now (XPCR) but I will recommand it only when completed. Right now you can use nLite by nuhi. Search MSFN forums to know where to download it.

You should post your setuperr.log instead. We could tell you exactly what the problem is. If you don't use any program to remove components from your XPCD folder this file should be empty. ...

Personnally I don't disable WFP and never did it but I think that your registry tweak is not enough with Windows XP. You also need a modified SFC_OS.DLL to make it work. Read this for more informations... Bypassing Windows File Protection

Don't forget that XP include a Windows File protection. These files cannot be removed if you don't disable Windows File Protection. Make a search on this forum to know how to disable it. Your delete command should also incluse this parameters in case the files are read only: DEL /F /Q filepath

You can use a VBScript instead of a VB App to apply the theme immediately Depending where your theme is in the list, you just play with the line WSS.SendKeys "{DOWN}" or WSS.SendKeys "{UP}" for selecting your theme. settheme.vbs Set WSS = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WSS.Run "CONTROL.EXE DESK.CPL" WScript.Sleep 500 'if your computer is slow increase this value WSS.SendKeys "{DOWN}" 'line for selecting your theme before {ENTER} WSS.SendKeys "{DOWN}" 'line for selecting your theme before {ENTER} WSS.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 'apply your theme and close display panel If you want a VB App with a button you will need a window to click a button anyway.

I'm NOT sure but I think if your run this command when Fast User Switching is enabled, this will bring the logon screen for a fast user switching.... %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation Check out this tool maybe it will help for something WIZMO

For your vbscript problem try to get the path of the script (if the script and trueimage.exe are in the same folder). Try this, maybe it will solve your problem. You can use CScript or WScript Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set FileSysObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ScriptPath = FileSysObj.GetFile(WScript.ScriptFullName).ParentFolder Cmd = Chr(34) & ScriptPath & "\trueimage.exe" & Chr(34) WshShell.Run Cmd WScript.Sleep 2000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 200 WshShell.SendKeys "%{n}" REG ADD %KEY%\023 /VE /D "True Image" /f REG ADD %KEY%\023 /V 1 /D "WScript.exe %CDROM%\Setup\install.vbs" /f You have a better chance to make it work like that.

I would go for what XtremeMac said about over heating. I had the same behavior with a Compaq Laptop at work. Make sure theres a good distance under the laptop for a good air flow. For testing purpose you could open the CD or DVD's door (that can make a better air flow between the inside and outside of the laptop).

To make restrictions to a user or group you need Windows Server 2000 or 2003 and create a domain in which you could configure these restrictions with Active Directory. But if you only have Windows XP Pro without a Windows Server domain, I don't think there is a solution. Wait for other reply in this topic, maybe someone know a possibility, but don't expect too much. XP Pro is supposed to be a client of Windows Server (with all these possibilities) and as a standalone workstation these features cannot be configure.

I don't think you can pause RunOnceEx because the shell loads only when all the program started in RunOnceEx are closed. I don't have tested it but maybe if you start a batch (in RunOnceEx) that start an other one with a sleep in it (10 seconds to make sure the shell is loaded), maybe this could make what you want. If you use a batch file you will need SLEEP.EXE, you can find one on the Web. Just add the line (in the the new batch started) START /WAIT SLEEP.EXE X where X is the number of second (or millisecond) to wait before continue the rest of the batch and after SLEEP.EXE X you put REGEDIT /S FILE.REG (I think you want to apply a reg file). You will need a reboot (or a logout) for the new reg to be applied. If you can write VBscript just add WScript.Sleep X (where X is the number of millisecond to wait). If you test that please give feedback if it work, it can be usefull Hope that help

The problem of XP firewall is it don't block all outgoing traffic. For a good free firewall ZoneAlarm is doing a very good job.

Hi, If you want your shutdown.exe to wait after vboy_adv.exe before execute then add start /wait before vboy_adv.exe I hope thats what you wanted

If you want an answer to this, I have found how to do it. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{3af36230-a269-11d1-b5bf-0000f8051515}\ IsInstalled=(Change the value of this registry entry from 1 to 0) We are never served as well as by ourselves

The last tips I can give you is to download SP2 RC2 and install. But I know there's new bugs about Windows Components with this new service pack. If it don't work I'm out of ideas. Good luck

wmaccess.inf - this file should be in your %WINDIR%\inf\ folder. The file is corrupted like Wasim said or simply not there. To resolve your problem... 1) Take your SP2 RC1 and extract the files XPSP2.EXE –x:C:\SP2RC1 2) Locate wmaccess.in_ and decompress EXPAND -r wmaccess.in_ 3) Put it back to the inf folder This problem should be solved

False fact ELSE command is good but I think more easy to do it the way I wrote it for your batch.

Hi MCT No it won't work, the ELSE is not recognise . Your ECHO line is useless because it will appear a fraction of second before exit. This will work... Don't forget quotes @ECHO OFF IF EXIST "C:\Program files\Opera75\opera.exe" GOTO Opera1 IF EXIST "D:\Program files\Opera75\opera.exe" GOTO Opera2 IF EXIST "E:\Program files\Opera75\opera.exe" GOTO Opera3 GOTO END :Opera1 REGEDIT /S opera1.reg EXIT :Opera2 REGEDIT /S opera2.reg EXIT :Opera3 REGEDIT /S opera3.reg EXIT :END

SORRY!!!! XtremeMaC YOUR RIGHT !!!! I've look to fast at the picture. The start menu is not enough at the bottom to be Scroll Programs. The behavior is the same but I didn't notice the Program menu lenght. My mistake The face picture of premier69 fit to me well right now Shame on me
