  1. I found this tidbit on the MS site while trolling for other info. Thought it may be of use to others so I'm just sharing. It explains how to automatically pin items to your taskbar or startmenu via scripting and includes an example script for calculator. I haven't tried this during an unattended install to see if it works as I'm still trying to work out other issues I'm having, but for others, this may be useful.

  2. There are a couple of ways to go about this. The easiest way is to use vLite. However the Autounattend.xml file this creates is rather basic. Its' completely functional, but basic compared to all the settings that can be specified in the Autounattend file. To create a full featured Autounattend.xml file, you'll need to download the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit) from Microsoft. It's a very large download (1.1GB I believe) and you may still find two versions available. Make sure you get the 1.1 version (the one used for Vista SP1 or Server 2008) as the older one will not support Vista SP1 or Server2008. For instructions on how to use either of these products there are quite a few posts on this site. Here's a link to a good guide to get you started with using the WAIK. You can also find a basic Autounattend.xml file here. You may need to modify this file to meet your install needs.
  3. I don't know if you've found your solution yet or not but I'm betting it has to do with the location of cmdow. If it doesn't reside in the system's current path at the time when you run this command, it will fail. I'd suggest just getting rid of it and just trying cmd /c "FOR %i IN (C D E F G H I J K L N M) DO IF EXIST %i:\AppsRoot.txt SETX AppsRoot %i: -m"
  4. Sorry for the trouble. It seems the Web Server is down. Some temporary links until the issue can be fixed: CMenu 2.6 SendToA3X 1.5 I tried downloading CMenu from the above link but every time I try to unzip it, I'm told it's an invalid zip file. Anyone else getting this??
  5. Setup Manager should be done at this point. Just close the window.
  6. It sure sounds like a bad processor. Of course I am assuming that you have properly attached a heatsink and fan using a good thermal compound or thermal pad?? BTW that is the exact setup I am running on my new gaming rig and I absolutely love it!!
  7. Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone on this board. I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to register. I'm an IT pro in Michigan (In the US for those outside the states) and have been involved with primarily desktop support (now meaning Windows XP) for about 12 years now. I've learned a bunch from this site and hopefully I'll be able to contribute some even though the methods used here are not "approved" by my employer. Thanks for a great site!!
