OK this is a long story/problem so I hope you'll be patient. I tried upgrading my Microsoft Outlook with a CD I found that has a newer version of outlook. but during install it failed because it needed the original disk?? and I didn't have it since it was installed many years ago. So now outlook doesn't work. so i thought, okay..I'll use outlook express for the time being. but i had an issue with OE's address book when I clicked to Share the address book and that's when everything went haywire...i couldn't open the program anymore, it keeps giving me an error. long story short, I tried uninstallling OE and trying to reinstall it using a download from the microsoft site, but that wouldn't take either, and so now I'm using thunderbird. i really want to fix this outlook/OE problem, but i think i might have irrecoverably erased the **** thing from the computer. does anyone have any idea what else I can do to make this even worse?

Nothing new with this one: I have multiple yahoo id's and having to login everytime is a pain. In the same vein as being able to search from the address bar directly, here's the key to be able to type your password into the address bar and directly login. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchUrl\ym] @="http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=www&.done=http://www.yahoo.com&login=_INSERT_YOUR_YAHOO_ID_HERE_&passwd=%s" so type into address bar, "ym YOUR_YAHOO_ID_HERE password" and you're immediately logged in. you could also add manually a button into your browser that has both the login and password input-ed, so all u have to do is click on it and immediately login, but that seems a little un-safe to do.

*takes a big guess*...erm, Male? Take a look at mine, and take a big guess too

in your autologin.reg, you have "Bebbe", but in your useraccounts.cmd, you created an account called "Bebbetufs" and a couple things about your runonceex.cmd 1) did you include IF EXIST statements and SET commands to set your %cdrom%? 2) might want to delete the extra "s" in %scdrom% by the way, your autologon.reg's still showing your password...might want to remove that from your post as well..

you've probably had it sorted out by now, but %systemroot% -->refers to C:\windows Do you not mean %systemdrive% ?

you're welcome! This kind of thing takes time..and patience, and perseverence! but when you do it, the result is so sweet!

you're welcome Ahh.......eureka! I think I know why...he prolly got confused about where %systemdrive% came from...think i would too if i just looked at the guide: (i'm there now) There's no explanation about how that came from...correct me if i'm wrong @the_duck: think of it as two separate things: 1 -> "$oem$\$1" is how you would actually place the folders (the physical arrangement of your files and folders) 2 -> %systemdrive% is the way you would call them in your command lines So if you put in your command line something like this: start /wait $OEM$\$1\install\Applications\sav\savceclt.exe it wouldn't be called, cos windows doesn't recognise it. you would need to use %systemdrive% hope that helps!

If you want a "Applications" folder in your command line, then your paths should look like C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\Office11\ C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\Applications\XXX\ and vice versa. basically windows will translate "$oem$\$1\" into the drive you're installing windows into, which is usually C:\.. so if you think about it, if $1 is C:\ then just add anything that comes after that logically: $1 = C:\ $1\install = C:\install $1\install\applications = C:\install\applications $1\install\applications\XXX\setup.exe = C:\install\applications\XXX\setup.exe

Your command should look like this: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Office\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- if your path looks like this: C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\Office\ say you're installing XXX program. you would put that into XXX folder right? that folder should be at C:\XPSP1a_ENG_PRO\$OEM$\$1\Install\XXX\setup.exe and your path should be start /wait %systemdrive%\install\XXX\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- hope this helps...if not, the father of all unattended: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/oemfolders.htm

Hi, the answer can be found here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=183075 I use the cmd file idle.newbie created to change my store folder, create accounts, etc..

do you have the words "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the beginning of the reg file? RegTweaks.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;REDW Start Menu [Hkey_LocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Common Start Menu"="\\titus\ntapps\REDW Start Menu"

I'll take a shot. if IPSEC works, great! but if not, you might like to try setting lmhosts to automatic.. it's just a guess.. ;TCP/IP Helper ;Enables support for NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) service and NetBIOS name resolution. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LmHosts] "Start"=dword:00000002

Nvm! I figured it out..had to configure some crap in the Local policies.

I am at a loss..I'm a noob in this so please bear with me. Recently I got another computer in my home and I want to link the 2 up so that i can surf the web and browse the contents of each computer. I have linked a router to my main computer via ethernet, and have the router linked to modem. And on the new computer i installed a wireless pci card..i followed the instructions to set all these hardware up, and now i can surf the web on both. but i can't browse the contents of each computer. Here's the noob question. How do i go about setting it up so that the 2 computers can see each other and browse each other's contents? Am I missing some hardware? Do i use the windows XP's Network Setup wizard, or is there some setting i can use on the Belkin router to set this up? Both are belkin products, by the way, so it should be compatible...I have tried everything at my disposal, but have not gotten anywhere.. Please help me! I'm really confused!

Lately when I'm browsing forum posts, and hit the back button on IE to go back to the main forum, the page loads the HTML coding instead of the page. Hitting refresh solves the problem but this is getting to be really annoying. Anybody know why or how can I solve this odd behavior?

Yet another way..registry tweak to change location of favourites folder.. I put it on D:\favorites..it's the simplest solution for me since my favs constantly change, i find it a hassle to have to add/subtract it from my unattend CD.

I think it has to do with the file type. I just added in some jpgs along with bmps, but only the bmps show up in my list.. i converted one of my jpgs to bmp, and it showed up.

@evilvoice: glad to see you got your setupscreen working! Would love to see what you did with it I had tried to edit the background, but just couldn't tweak it enough to my personal liking..oh well! anyways, I came across this background and thought it would look cool as a setupscreen, so here is my 2nd offering. i didn't put much effort into it, the icons and fonts are all just taken from my 1st one. FFX2-screenshot

OK here it is: kosmos

OK I don't know all the details, but strings items 1 -3 & 15 are the ones for font size changing. More of that and the link to that info: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=8696 Hope this helps. Once again thumbsup for this great program! Looking forward to a sweet right-click menu indeed!

@jcarle : Great tool! Hope i'm not repeating a known issue, but I couldn't get XPreview to refresh.. Each time I update my winntbbu.dll it still shows the old one. I have to manually exit the program and bring it up again to see changes.. Also, I changed my font size of winntbbu.dll, but it was not reflected. This is after I close it and open the program again. Suggestions (sorry for being so long-winded!) : How about a Refresh option?

oops sorry for being unclear.. the link was to address issue of stuff that did not get created until desktop is loadded..thus tweaks, links, etc. does not get deleted... basically the idea is what has been mentioned here, that is, to create a startup.cmd and set the last line of that to del itself and everything in startup folder... DEL did it for me too, there was no problem deleting, nor was the start up folder locked.. maybe what you can do is set a pause after running each command, to see what the problem is? also, maybe adding "Exit" to the file at the end?

how abt this and the reply below that? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...=0entry171984

that's a great find but, there's a problem.. there's a unique identifier in there [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects\{11D31951-7848-48E3-89C2-6762AF05C427}User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments] "SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001 rendering it hard to use in an unattend... i tried just adding the other keys, but they dun do the trick.. wonder if there's any way around?

Hi, Don't really understand what you're trying to do, but if you're looking for switch to unmount iso using daemon tools, this is it: -unmount - allows unmounting images from command line. Syntax is: -unmount <n> where 'n' means PHANTOM device number ('0' - '3' allowed). found here : http://www.multi.fi/~dabohlin/My%20files/A...Help/MANUAL.TXT hope this helps.
