I stumbled with this one so it handles even filenames with special characters in it, not an easy task, because the batch instruction set is not very well documented: DeleteFileonReboot.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="delfile.cmd \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open] delfile.cmd @echo off setlocal disableextensions set pathwithquotes=%1 setlocal enableextensions REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %pathwithquotes:~1,-1% OnNextReboot" /d ^"cmd.exe /c DEL /F /Q \"%pathwithquotes:~1,-1%\"^" /f endlocal -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DeleteFolderonReboot.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="delfile.cmd \"%1\"" delfolder.cmd @echo off setlocal disableextensions set pathwithquotes=%1 setlocal enableextensions REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %pathwithquotes:~1,-1% OnNextReboot" /d ^"cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q \"%pathwithquotes:~1,-1%\"^" /f endlocal It's nearly the same. In fact, only difference is the command you type in the prompt

I did misread that post, hoping to see this fixed. Sorry

Okay, slept well and thought about your request, it's a bit of a programming challenge, but I managed to work the delete on next reboot for files out DeleteFileonReboot.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="delfile.cmd \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open] delfile.cmd @echo off setlocal set pathwithquotes=%1 set originalpath=%pathwithquotes:~1,-1% REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %originalpath% OnNextReboot" /d "cmd.exe /c DEL /F /Q \"%originalpath%\"" /f endlocal delfile.cmd goes into windir or system32 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open] is for security, without it "Delete on Reboot" becomes the default action on all unknown files, ( no, that's not what you want ). Also fixed the code for the deletefolderonreboot tweak. It's faster. BTW, it won't work with special characters as % or & in filenames yet

reply, it's an reply

To set the default language you have to look in the winnt.sif reference. To remove the language toolbar use this: ;Removes Language Bar [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}] Keep in mind msfn is not a script request forum. You will have to share your scripts and idea's too.

This one works: DeleteFolderonReboot.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="delfolder.cmd \"%1\"" Delfolder.cmd @echo off setlocal set pathwithquotes=%1 set originalpath=%pathwithquotes:~1,-1% REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %originalpath% OnNextReboot" /d "cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q \"%originalpath%\"" /f endlocal Delfolder goes into windir or system32. EDIT: Fixed this with faster code

You can't install 1.6.2 on a 98 Lite Micro or Sleek system, wonder if that's fixed in the new version. For the rest no side effects

Meaby this one: ;Set taskbar size and positions [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2] "Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,02,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3b,00,00,00,1e,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,e2,03,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,04,00,00 I'm not sure about it, but you can try to see if it works. You still have to logoff / logon to see the changes

This works, I have changed the Driver Compressor Tool also to use this dir naming method. @IRP, does this VIA thing do anything - improve system performance. It doesn't even install anything!

Bashrat, happy birthday to you Updated the Driver Compressor Tool with a new feature regarding to http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36827: The subdir is now called as the Provider specified in the inf, so for unattended cd's you don't have to specify the full path anymore. I'm testing this now. I'll see if I can work this out a bit more. If you want the old release you can mail me.

Everybody look here, so it works.

Hoeray!!!! The answer is there to this question: click Gonna change my compressor tool now to look for the brandname in the inf instead of using the filename. Many thanks. I just knew it worked but not how

I'll suggest you to wait for 2.0. It won't take long now before Gape will release it. First thing you could do is to get the proper system files in your language: SP 1.6.2 file list Compare it with the SP 2.0 file list. That's all for now

nLite look under tweaks, personally asked for this tweak some time ago

It works for my system. Meaby a tip for Bashrat?

Mekrel, since you used the compressed nVidia drivers no additional system files are created. Therefore you don't need to go to the Software Configuration Panel to remove the drivers. Go to Device Manager, select your videocard and choose to uninstall the driver. If you are just changing drivers in Windows you can select to update your driver in Device Manager and point the wizard to the location of the newly compressed driver. I recommend everyone using my tool to first test the compressed driver this way before appending it to your unattended cd, so you don't get stuck.

Mekrel, no problems with your driver. You just have multiple inf's in your directory. You have to found out manually which driver you need.

You need to use this tweak during installation: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse] "MouseSensitivity"="16"

I don't know it either. During Windows Setup the Mouseware drivers are not detected. Only issue I have with the standard Windows drivers is the slowdown of the mousespeed when increasing the usb poll frequency. I have used an regtweak to speed-up my mouse to workaround this.

Ghost82, what do you think this flag under my username means Fixed this stupid thing now. The error happened when no catalogfile was found. @Mekrel, what files are inside those new created directories. Please give me a link to those drivers

Update: - now only skips lines beginning with ";" - prevent compressing main inf and catalogfile Thanks SixPack Over an 100 downloads yet

Sixpack, the setup.inf file shouldn't get compressed, unless it's specified in another inf. Windows need an uncompressed inf in the driver directory. Please tell me which driver package caused this behaviour

@Mekrel, this tool is for compressing the driver files for use with the $OEM$\$1\Driver method. You can change the subdirectory name and copy it to your unattended installation folder. Just follow the steps at http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/drivers.htm after you have compressed the drivers. For the nVidia drivers I don't know which driver inf you can use. But you can find it out for your hardware in the Device Manager, select your Display card, select to update the driver, point it manually to your compressed driver and press ok, when you leave the compatiblity checked you can see if the inf has support for your card. If not, try the other

@Hoppy, For dutch language in nVidia Config Panel you only have to copy nvrsnl.dll to the system32 directory. You can copy this file uncompressed in your unattended installation to the following directory: $OEM$\$$\System32. For other languages you can use the same file, with the bold text replaced by the language code. @Sixpack, you have to look for a subdir with an inf and some driver files ( .sys, .dll ), when you get an error that some files are missing, note them down and try to find out if the files are included with the ATI Setup file. Then copy only those files to the directory containing the installation inf and redo the process. @Ionit, tested your Speedtouch USB drivers with i6comp.exe, you have to type this: i6comp.exe e -f data2.cab *.* "C:\SpeedtouchDrivers" You get a lot of directories, but only some are relevant: PPPoA, PPPoE and WDM. Make sure you only use the "SpeedTouch 330 ADSL Modem Update" drivers, these are newer.

nVidia's using the coinstaller to setup additional components. However I'm creating a minimalistic XP setup and don't need those extra's. They just consume lots of memory when used. With the minimal nVidia drivers I can play all 3D-games without any problems B) @Hoppy, tell me which drivers are causing problems and I'll take a look at it.
