I do not know much about the svcpack method. I will try it on my laptop as I am reinstalling everything on that as well as my PC. I will post here again if I encounter any issues. Thanks.

Perfect. That should do the job nicely. Thanks a million for your prompt responses.

You are dead right. I do want to hide the cmd window but I am refering to the windows interface which lists the applications being installed (see screenshot below.) So an example of what I would like to happen is to have 'Instant Messengers' listed instead of AIM. Then below this (possibly indented to show that it is part of the instant messenger group) have AIM, ICQ, MSN etc. Same will go for internet explorers and media players. Again this is only a nice to have and won't be detrimental if it is not achievable. Thanks in advance for your help. [Edit]Thanks for your reply krose, i was replying to Selena when you posted so I missed it - Yes it is the test in the dialog box titled "Windows is installing the following programs" that I would like to manipulate. Is the above possible? [/edit]

Hi, I am setting up my first boot cd/dvd at the moment. I think I have everything working as it should but am trying to get a few 'nice to haves' working in the process. I have a *.cmd file written which installs all of my favourite applications. However I have some apps which fall into the same category (for instance: Internet explorers or media players). Is there a way to include a subtitle on the GUI when these apps are being installed? The code below is from my *.cmd file. Does anyone know whether this functionality is available or not. cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "VLC Media Player v0.9.8a" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\My_Apps\VLC\VLC_Player_v0.9.8a_win32.exe" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "BSPlayer" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\My_Apps\BSPlayer\BSPlayer_v137.826.exe" /f rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess EXIT Please let me know if you need further clarification on this post or if it needs to be posted elsewhere as I am new here. OS: XP Home Thanks.
