Thanks, I'll check it out. I did find the app I remembered though. It was in fact google desktop, with a 3rd party plugin called spindle search.

I know I've seen a program that would do this before, but I can't remember what it was. Here's what I want: Insert a cd. The program scans the CD and indexes all the files on it by name/date/size etc. When its done, insert another cd. IIRC, it would scan new cd's in the background everytime you put a disc in. Later, you can search the program for a specific file, and it would tell you which cd it was on. (I assume you have to name or number the cd's in some way... don't recall.) Anyone know of a program that does this? I was thinking it was google desktop or some similar desktop search app, but can't find that feature now.

to do this using nero, nve, and npm, I end up with 3 sfx that are larger than the original install, due to common files bieng included in each one. Can I include the common files in just nero, and leave it out of the other 2? Gai-jin

I take it there was never a solution to this yet... Its annoying me enough now I'd be willing to try other options... How would I go about using the AutoIT scrpt pastl mentioned above? Gai-jin

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'd like to keep track of every ISO I make of my restore disk. To keep version numbers, and easily identify the different versions. What do I need to do to make the batch listed below call the old version number (from a text file, likely), add 1 to the number, store this to memory as a variable, and write the new version number over the old in the text file, then use the version number variable in the iso file name? This way, if I have multiple revisions of the iso saved, it's easy to tell just what 'version' is most recent/experimental. Thanks, Gai-jin CLS @echo off TITLE Creating ISO Image of Windows XP Professional ECHO.

Thanks, this is **Much** cleaner, I'll give it a go! (if only this info was actually *in* the ref.chm, It would have been much easier to find... )

Ah Ha! I think I've found the problem. In the reg file to be imported, the "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:0x00000000 should be: "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000 Now it seems to work great! Now, a related question... what's the difference between the 'currentcontrolset' tree and the 'controlset1' and 'controlset2' trees? Do these all need to be changed?

I know I've even tried applying 'settings.reg', as listed in the first post, after intall was complete & rebooting. Even then, if I go into system properties, remote tab, it doesn't show remote desktop enabled. I actually have it setup to apply via regedit /s settings.reg as the very last item in runonceex. I'll check it tonight.

Hmm... no clue then, I've included that in the keys I use (as listed above), and still isn't working. this is SP2 as well.

bump. Any suggestions?

I'm desperately trying to find reg keys required to enable remote desktop by default under xp pro sp2. I've done a reg shot, found 8 keys that change, imported all those keys, but that doesn't seem to enable it. What am I missing? Gai-jin

Most likely, it works on your PC because the file associations are already set. Hmm... What if, before installing NVE, you import reg keys or a settings file (wherever that's stored), then NVE setup wouldn't have to ask for associations.

I'm trying to use the task kill method mentioned here. Works great for ad aware itself, kills it so fast I didn't even see it pop up. The help window still comes up though. Maybe I need to move that task kill to after the following program, so it gives the help window time to fully open before killing it?

I have this running as the very last step of runonce ex. I've also tried adding this reg file *after* setup completes, manually. It still doesn't activate the remote desktop option. (at least, it doesn't show it active in the sytem control panel... haven't actually tried to remote in.) I'll look again tonight, I had done a search, but the main thing I found in searching was this key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server] "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:0x00000000 And that doesn't seem to work.

You want to make sure it does *NOT* have the .txt at the end. easiest way is to open it in notepad. go to FILE>SAVE AS type in winnt.sif in the box below, make sure it says "All files" not "text document". this will ensure saving in the proper format.

Grrr... I've been fighting with this and still can't seem to get it. I've done a reg shot, found the keys that open the firewall ports, found the key that seems to actually turn on remote desktop, but I can't get it to work. What am I missing here? Here's the reg file I've used settings.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server\Licensing Core] "EnableConcurrentSessions"=dword:0x00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server] "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:0x00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Epoch] "Epoch"=dword:0x000004C8 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] "3389:TCP"="3389:TCP:*:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22009" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] "3389:TCP"="3389:TCP:*:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22009" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server] "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:0x00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Epoch] "Epoch"=dword:0x000004C8 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] "3389:TCP"="3389:TCP:*:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22009" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] "3389:TCP"="3389:TCP:*:Enabled:@xpsp2res.dll,-22009" Here's what I get from a regshot on my vmware after installing from my ua disk.

So this syntax will let the cmd file use the value of %01% from the original INF? Meaning if %01% is d:\, then in this case the xcopy.cmd would essentially be executing: xcopy.exe d:\install %systemdrive%\install\ /s /c /q /h /y Is that right?

What's wrong with the following, saved as 'settings.reg'. When I try to add it to the registry, I get an error "Cannot import D:\$OEM$\$1\Install\settings.reg: Error accessing the registry."

Hmm... seems to work, though the runonce window skips past the 'copying files' step very quickly... it's getting done, but I'm afraid the file copy is running in the background while programs are installing. While it doesn't seem to be a problem right now, it could be, if by some chance the programs being installed hadn't been copied over yet... is there a way to add a wait command with the xcopy, so that it won't continue processing runonceex until that step is over?

Hmm... is agent-x's Msi working for anyone else? It gives me an error on launch, saying the MSI service isn't available. Gai-jin

would this work? cmdow /run /hid %11%\xcopy.exe %01%\install %10%\install

I have runonceex launching xcopy with this command: HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\BBinstall",1,,"%11%\xcopy.exe %01%\install %24%\install\ /S /C /Q /H /Y" But this causes a large, blank, cmd window to pop up. How can I do this without the cmd window taking up the screen? I thought of calling xcopy.cmd with cmdow at the beginning to hid the window, but the problem with that is then I don't know how to label the source drive... I need a variable which points to the cd drive windows was installed from. Any suggestions?
