[MIRC auto install, must be a way!]

If you want a clean install, the latest installer has a switch for silent installs.

mirc62.exe /S

Otherwise just sfx the whole folder and create shortcuts

Then import these two registry values with regedit /S mirc.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mirc\License]
@="XXXX-XXXXXX"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mirc\UserName]
@="XXXXXXXX"

All other reg entries, including uninstall, will be made first time mirc is run.

[What's wrong with this batch file please?]

I bet it's named start.bat or start.cmd which would cause it to call itself over and over.

[Registry Tweaks PT 4 beta update]

i suggest these tweaks are added

;Changes Time Interval Between System Restore Points to Once a Week (Default is Once a Day)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore]

"RPGlobalInterval"=dword:00093a80

To me it seems more useful to lower the length of time that restore points are kept.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore]
"RPLifeInterval"=dword:00093a80

This will purge restore points older than 7 days, instead of the 90 days that is default.

If I haven't needed to restore in 7 days I doubt i ever will, or that doing so would be useful

Duplicate Icons in the Desktop

[no samurize on vista]

1 more i just thought of:

in xp, after installing windows, i had to tell it that "my documents"folder (with my music, my videos, my pictures, and many more things inside it) was in another place. i did it by rightclicking on my documents on the start menu, properties, and MOVE.

on vista, i could do that separately, for my music and my pictures, but the same properties option was not present on my docs (or some other folder i might have misnamed here).

is there a way of telling vista that my documents folder is in another placE ?

Right click on Documents > Properties > Location > Move >...

read my question again or ask for a better explanation of my problem if you dont understand, thx.

Maybe you should read your question again...

Try Removing the spaces (or replacing them with underscores) in the filenames and the reg entries.

This should be what you want.

For one user:

For all users:

[[QUESTION] Reg entries for Shotcuts in Open...]

You need to create the reg key outlined below, it is not present by default.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\Placesbar]
"Place0"=dword:00000000
"Place1"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,\
  00,65,00,25,00,5c,00,00,00
"Place2"="D:\\"
"Place3"="E:\\"
"Place4"=dword:00000011

In the above

Place0 = Desktop

Place1 = %systemdrive%\

Place2 & Place3 = obvious

Place4 = My Computer

Here's a few default values you can use in place of absolute paths

Desktop: 00000000

My Documents: 00000005

My Computer: 00000011
