  1. A quick scan gives that 926122 is both in the "re-download" list and in the "to be removed / do not use" list. Or maybe I don't 'get' the purpose of this post.

    That was bull I put here. So I'll just say thanks for set 8f.

    No and always. It's not in Suse 11 though which is what I've been playing with the last week. I really thought you had just edited Favorites out of the little screenie. Which code in IE.inf should be responsible?

    en.wiki has some info on what MSXML and MDAC are. It's all I know of them. I think I'll try an install without either, see how far I'll get installing stuff. Yea I got "C:\contents list.txt" but I was trying "%SystemDrive%\contents list.txt". After all when at the root of cd drive D:\ a DIR \i386 *.* %SystemDrive%\List.txt will work. EDIT: Ah, you can't just %SystemDrive% just like that it'll have to be hexes.

    I thought I'd need them and I should have read better. I forgot you had slipstreamed many fixes manually. The msi is not mentioned in either of the lists. It's also not new unlike the GDI+ Martin uses. Is the msi an 'essential' fix? Should I wait for TommyP's list? Sorry to keep asking but especially when concerning HFs I notice English isn't my first language. And a bit more on topic: I've been playing with List Contents to text File. Can the >""%1""""_contents list.txt"" be replaced with e.g. >"C:\List.txt"? You see, I also use this on mounted ISOs. NOT a feature request, I just don't got the syntax right when using %SystemDrive%.

    I've used this install a bit now in Virtualbox. Before I take the old P3 to the net: Are we up to date with hot fixes? IOW: does the little msi replace the other 60MB of fixes? Which firewall to use? Yea, much too general a question. Let me say freeware, app based AND rule based. Some thoughts: Comodo seems to be good. But on a Dutch forum I read: Give FF access to port 80. Then visit an SSL secured page (port 443) and Comodo will ask if FF is allowed to connect. If you choose Yes the rule will change to: port(any). Hmmm. Would the old Tiny or Kerio still be any good or are they now.. er.. leaky? fdv: I think I "shouldn't" like that. Coz I'm a huge fan of those who brought the rock back in er.. .

    1) Several events have sounds assigned in Sounds and Multimedia Properties. When clicking e.g. Asterisk windows can't find the wav (Do you want to use the file for this event anyway?). I can see chimes is 'semi-coloned' but chord and ding aren't. all three give the 'File not found'. If I'm right (i.e. it is an issue) could I request all sounds to go out please? Except "Start Windows", I'd like to replace that, and maybe "Exit Windows". 2) Explorer -> View now has Thumbnails as an option. It doesn't do anything which is good. I can't remember seeing this. But I used a different source until 8d. When focussing in left pane: My Computer, Control Panel, My Network Places or Recycle Bin, Explorer does NOT show Thumbnails under View.

    I think I said 110 to 113 but never mind, I mean right after Hotfix\KB842773 \Hotfix\KB842773"\File 1\","Flags",0,"" \Hotfix\KB842773"\File 1\","New File",0,"" \Hotfix\KB842773"\File 1\","New Link Date",0,"" \Hotfix\KB842773"\File 1\","Old Link Date",0,"" The other fake fixes don't have it and it makes me get sub-keys. I noticed when I got no replies in the other tread so I had to go through Shell and Axant myself. Which made me learn a bit and that's always good. Oh yeah, has set 8e been announced? I've got it, that's not it. But should I have known?

    I don't know about working perfectly. In SHELL.IN_ simply replacing line 106: HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","Path",,"%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem" with: HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","Path",0x20000,"%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\pub" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","windir",0x20000,"%SystemRoot%" HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment","OS",,"Windows_NT" gives as Path: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Symantec\pcAnywhere\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\pub;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem So the last two: %SystemRoot% and %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem appear twice. This Path must be written to in more of the code. But adding these lines to SHELL.IN_ is temporary I presume. I might as well add lines to IE.IN_ like I did before. And we have a non-standard HFSLIP. @fdv: In Post 13 I said there's too many "s in Axant.in_. No biggie I guess and maybe I'm just wrong. Edit: How do I get scroll bars in a Code Block?

    Although I haven't the foggiest why I would need Symantec or Adobe reg keys I can confirm this works. Also when integrated in shell.in_ by me "xcopy abc.txt c:\dirname" and "attrib +h abc.txt" both work as do RUNDLL32.EXE USER32.DLL,SwapMouseButton and RUNDLL32.EXE SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL HotPlug.dll (safely remove usb device window). I'll now try the same with the line added to HFSLIP. EDIT: More success! Task Sched is out, as are "web search" and "Tip of the day". So shell.inf seems to be processed correctly/completely this way.

    I'm afraid I have both. With msxml4-KB927978-enu.msi you mean the exe I take? With an msi inside of it. I could not run filemon during or after (also from cmd) setup. " 'filemon' is not recognized as...." Double clicking it I must first "agree" in a window. Could that be it or is that the "You might get an error" bit? Can an fdv-2000 run hfslip itself? I'm asking because I can't. "Your system does not have makecab" it says. Running makecab from C root in a cmd also gives "is not recognized". This, like the filemon thing, indicates pathnames to be incorrect/missing, right? Maybe a cause for more issues. I think what Ambassador means is to actually remove the whole Favorites menu. I read some guy claimed to have succeeded with XN Resource Editor.

    But I do think it is the hot fixes..... Good. We can narrow it down I hope. I just did an install with one variable altered (boy am I clever): I use EN_WIN2000_PRO_SP4.ISO as source exactly as described by Martin. "My" 62 hot fixes, dx9c cabs and set 8d. Nothing else. I have the exact same issues as I had before. So no need to list them. Other source, same fixes -> same issues. I need a smoke.

    @os2fan2: Yes. 2ksp5 describes this. Why not use AntiVir? @fdv and/or Martin: Is it possible I have a different source? I know I ask a lot but if you can/want to verify: My i386 on cd is 3994 files, not counting subdirs. For a total of 186MB (195,781,102 bytes). After slipstreaming SP4 manually it's 4088 files, again not counting subdirs. They are 198MB (208,171,234 bytes). Of the subdirs I only keep UNIPROC, SYSTEM32 and WINNTUPG. That's 461 files in 33 (sub)dirs. 9.88MB (10.360.977 bytes). HF dir is as the_guy's list: everything under "Windows" except 908531 and 842773, the two under "IE with fdv's fileset" and the dx9c fix. That makes 62 files, 97.8MB (102,634,632 bytes). Thank you for your time.

    @Martin The "View as web folder" (other tread) I solved by adding "WebView",,0 to shell.inf. I think I had a mucked up ShellState back then. So we both have "Task Scheduler Control applet" and "web search" present. But you don't have "Tip of the day". 2 Qs: What about "Send to" ? Is that present in your install? and: Does your Folder Options window actually have "Folder Options" in its title bar? Mine's empty. I just like to know in how far we're getting the same results.

    I already mentioned Task Scheduler a month ago. Axant5.inf still contains a " character too many at lines 110 to 113, column 67. Now creating keys instead of string values. Edit: Like in 8c the only way to have "Task Scheduler Control applet", "Tip of the day", "web search" and "Send to" out is to add them back to IE.IN_. But then I mentioned that as well.
  16. Just had to say this The XP files are copied now, don't know why. 2003 files works too. Process goes better with a source that has SP4 already in it. I copied the keys under the 'Task Scheduler Control Panel "applet"' line and those under 'Tip of the Day' from set 7 back in set 8's ie.in_. That worked. How can I get the text back in the title bar of the "Folder Options" window?
  17. Thanks Kiki, I'll keep winntupg. I just ran set 7 again to see differences between 7 and 8c : - "Enable Web content in folders" is enabled in both 7 and 8c - "Tip of the day" shortcut. This was NOT in set 7 - ntldr and ntdetect are SP4 (210K and 34K) while the XP versions are in the Replace dir. I tried putting the XP files directly in Source\i386 but then they're not in the resultant iso. I read about a FIX directory but that must have been an older hfslip version, right? - Control Panel has a shortcut to Task Scheduler. This was NOT in set 7. Hope this helps. If anybody cares that is... EDIT: XP's ntldr and ntdetect ARE in the SourceSS directory but don't make it to the ISO.
  18. Thank you for the explanation schloss. Now with set 8c I get the following (see the attached screen and log file for details): - "Tip of the day" shortcut. (Do earlier filesets have this?) - ntldr and ntdetect are SP4 (210K and 34K) while the XP versions are in the Replace dir. - Control Panel has a shortcut to Task Scheduler ("folder icon" bottom right). Can simply be deleted I think but maybe it just shouldn't be there. Did I do anything wrong or should things simply be like this? Note: I did remove the compdata, win9x*, lang and winntupg directories from Source before running hfslip. explorer_task_sched.zip
  19. Thank you schloss and thank you fdv. @fdv: I think (i.e. not sure) the previous "set 8 install" had "Enable Web content in folders" radio button checked. It has to do with dummy iexplore being installed? Maybe it's by design but I just thought I'd mention it. Making the new "8b iso" now and will report back. People please help me with these Qs: Do I need a roots update at all? I don't know what the practical use of these thingies is. Some threads mention that directories compdata, win9x* and winntupg can be removed from sourcess. But I don't touch sourcess. It's (re)created every time. Is it OK/useful to delete from the source dir?
  20. Now with HF packed with stuff in the_guy's list (everything under Windows except 908531, the two under "IE with fdv's fileset" and the dx9c fix) and using set 8 I cannot get an "ACPI PC" installation. I get a "Standard PC" and when running setup again from cd, hitting F5, I get in the menu where type of pc can be chosen. Moving up from Standard PC to "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" and hitting enter brings me back to the setup screen with "Setup is starting Windows 2000" in the bottom left. I then waited 20 minutes but nothing happens... Of course when I reinstalled from windows cd I did get an ACPI PC. I just wanted to check if it was possible at all without changing current config (like BIOS settings). Is type of PC defined in winnt.sif? Can I use that file from set 7? Does anyone have any suggestions? EDIT: I don't have 842773 either.
  21. fdv: On the 1800+ File set 8 builds and installs (virtualbox 1.5.6) great . Thanks for this. File set 7 does not (1800+, exact same files as in 1st post, compression default). NT4ICONS.DLL and the README are both in the iso's i386 dir. If there's anything you want me to check on this let me know. Otherwise I'll go on with set 8.
  22. I haven't even started yet . Till now I used an old P3 on a BX board for making the isos and that's slow. So yesterday I decided to trash XP from my 1800+/KT4V-L combo because this is one of the target systems for 2000. The following is UNrelated to hfslip but I hope to find some help. I installed 2000, SP4, VIA Hyperion 5.12 and video driver. Now the board has a KT400 chipset which isn't the most compatible bit of hardware (never got a Promise TX2 to run with decent speeds on it). The problem is that USB flash drives (or USB sticks or whatever) when disconnected are immediately connected again! Whether I choose "Stop USB mass storage device" or "unplug or eject hardeware" the drive will disappear from explorer, it's LED flashes off and back on and the drive appears in explorer again. It's not just cosmetic, I can use it. This does not happen with USB hard disks. Google is not my friend. 8+ hours of searching got me no further than "assign IRQ to USB controller in the BIOS" which I can't. There's some old VIA USB patches for SP3 and some "Filter drivers" that don't help. Of course it worked under XP and the drives work on an other computer. Before I go any further; has anyone ever seen this happen? Maybe there's even a HF for it (couldn't find it). @tommyp: It's not that I'm unwilling to use more HFs but you see with only SP4 I'm already stuck with "My Pictures" as a system folder and I understand removing this sort of junk only gets more difficult when using later HFs. EDIT: Also, when selecting everything, KB942831 (IIS) and KB944338 (Jscript) are in the list. I don't think I'll need those with fdv fileset. EDIT2: Sorry, I thought setting the "ACPI Standby State" from S1/POS to S3/STR would solve it. But no. Does it maybe require a new windows installation?
  23. Sorry, forgot to say the hfslip.log is also in the zip.
  24. Hi all, First a thanks to fdv, TommyP and TC for their wonderful software. I only just started using 2000 so I have hfslip 1.7.8 and fdv files version #7 (I don't know any other). After following steps 1 to 13 of 2ksp5.html I get an iso which, when installing, tells me that it can't copy acgenral.dll. When I continue to install (pressing ESC) the files aclayers.dll, acspecfc.dll and au.inf can't be found either. I tried this in various combinations of XP's NTdetect and ntldr, 5.01 fixes, DX9 files and compression (A - F). That didn't help Now I found these files in W2KSP4_EN.EXE's i386\new directory. So I decided to slipstream myself (again followed 2ksp5.html) and this time the OS installs. Except in the first "GUI part" of the install, when it says "installs Start menu items", where it can't find the README.TXT. Then setup continues. The result is that I'm missing desktop and other icons, see the png for that. And of course the README, which should be on the desktop (if I read the posts here correctly). My question is: Should I try to fix the missing files issue (and maybe start looking in a wrong direction) or start from scratch because obviously something went wrong when I let hfslip do the slipstreaming? BTW: I did a chkdsk, a defrag and an md5 check of W2KSP4_EN.EXE. EDIT: "Start menu" was the text of course... log_icons.7z
