Whenever I choose save as from outlook or web sites etc, the 'save as' window always defaults to the my documents folder. How can I change that so it defaults to 'my computer' also, how do i change the link buttons on the left hand panel, so I can have a link to a specific folder in there? cheers.

I am looking for some icons/png/jpg that I can use on my new IT related site. I found a site with a very similar idea at http://www.pcsboxed.co.uk/ Where are some good sites to get pc hardware/peripheral related images like these. Do I need to convert them from one format to use in my web pages? Thanks

Which one of these items is forcing my start menu to be done as the Classic Windows style, instead of the Win XP one: ;---------------------- ; Start Menu/Desktop ;---------------------- ;Configure Start Menu [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000002 "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000001 "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000000 "WebView"=dword:00000001 "Filter"=dword:00000000 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000 "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000000 "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001 "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowNetPlaces"=dword:00000001 "Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000000 "Start_MinMFU"=dword:0000000a "Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000002 "Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001 "Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002 "Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000001 "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000 thanks a alot

I have the runonceex.cmd command at the very bottom of my winnt.sif file? So where should it go now?

I have just finished my full DVD for XP SP2 and have noticed that after the install is complete and I log into my username for the first time, it loads to the desktop and does not run the runonceex.cmd file. When I reboot the machine, login to my username again, then the runonceex.cmd file runs perfectly and the cleanup etc all takes place. Why does it not run the first time I log in.. have i done something wrong?

Oh , okay, so what would be stoping me from removing dirs such as program files\xerox etc?

I have imported the hacked windows files from another post to disable windows file protection, and made the change in the hive file thing, but I still dont think it's working, as I tried for example to delete the xerox dir out of program files, and it wont let me is there something else that needs to be done, as I've followed those instructions to the letter. ta

No, my SP1 unnattended works perfectly.

This is the first time i've ever heard of this file.. and I've read all of the unnattended stuff on msfn.org.. So i've been using my SP1 unattended with that same runonceex.cmd file and it installed the apps perfectly every time... so i can not explain why this is. edit: i just did a search with hidden files shown on the C:\WINDOWS\system32 on my current XP Pro sytem, and that file does not exist

Thanks heaps for the help guys, and for the file. This is the odd part... I've been using the same runonceex.cmd file for ages, and I've never put the file in that folder before... the only two files I have in there are for my oem info etc. So why has this just cropped up now? Thanks.

How do I find that out... which directory should it be in ? Wouldn't it be in the same place as the one on SP1?

I have been using my slipstreamed and unnattended win XP SP1 install cd for ages and it always works fine. When I run the one I have done now in SP2.. using the same runonceex.cmd file listed here: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Installing MSN Messenger 6 Final" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Office 2003 Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT I get this error: c:\install>cmdow @ /hid 'cmdow' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The it lists "The operation completed successfully" for times, I'm assuming for each of the four steps in my runonceex.cmd file. But the thing is.. none of my actions run, which is odd.. as I have not changed a thing in this file and it works perfectly on my SP1 unnattended. The only change I have made to this install is to put the hacked files in for the tcip and wfp etc... If any one has any clues, please tell me Thanks

So this is me RunOnceEx cmd file: cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Preparing Installation..." /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\prepare.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Installing MSN Messenger 6 Final" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\MsnMsgs.msi /QB" REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Office 2003 Professional" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb-" REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT so I am putting my office2003 dir in to $OEM$\$1\apps Where do I put the Unattended.MST file?

I have done all of the stuff in the Internet Explorer Access Kit, and now I have a whole buch of files in these two folders: /flat /ins When you set BrandIEUsingUnattended = No it wants the location fo the .ins file that is created. Where do I put this file, and what about all of the other files that are in the directories listed just above here? Thanks.

I have fully done my xp sp2 unattended, and it works great I have also do the full sp1 of office 2003, and prepared it for a silent intall. I would like to know where I put this command: ECHO. ECHO Installing Office 2003 Professional with Frontpage ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- and where do I put the whole office 2003 folder? Thanks for any help

What switch can I use in my regtweaks to enable the option that puts the tick in the box to "hide known file extensions" under tools => folder options => view This is the current set I have, maybe I've already got it here, but with wrong option selected: ;Configure Start Menu [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000002 "ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001 "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 "DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000 "ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "HideIcons"=dword:00000000 "MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000001 "WebView"=dword:00000001 "Filter"=dword:00000000 "SuperHidden"=dword:00000000 "SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000 "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000000 "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001 "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000 "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000 "StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002 "StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowNetPlaces"=dword:00000001 "Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000000 "Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001 "Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000002 "Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001 "Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000 "Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001 "Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002 "Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000001 "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000 ps.. I think it's this one >> "HideFileExt"=dword:00000000 which dword should I have. Also, what option above is forcing my start menu to be the "classic start menu" and not the normal XP style start menu?

Thanks... what if I just want to move my "Jason's Documents" folder, not the whole "documents and settings folder"?

What is the best way in winnt.sif to relocate the My Docs folder.. ie if my profile name is Jason, there would normally be a dir called "Jason's Documents" on my C Drive, but on my current install I have this relocated on my D Drive. How do I alter my winnt.sif file to move the "jason's Documents" folder to my D Drive? ta

or which dword would I use instead of 00001? is it all zeros or 00002? in: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001

First of all, I would like to know how to set up my unattended cd to: * change the location of my profile's my docs folder to my D drive (is this in winnt.sif?) * set so hidden files and folders are not displayed (ie the little box is ticked) * I still can not get my start menu to be in XP mode, it insists on going into Classic mode from the word go, until I change it. It's minor, but just a bug I want to iron out. Here is my regtweaks.reg file for your interest. I have two entries in there to force the XP styel start menu, but neither work. ;------------- ; SERVICES ;------------- ;Disable Messenger Service (to block spam.
