Thanks for the tip, but I'm not using FDV's files any longer. I've created a new install CD, installed the OS with it, and now explorer.exe doesn't give me any trouble when I login. Yay! Unfortunately, when I go to Windows Update, it shows that it has 50 high priority updates for me. This can't be right? Do I need to do anything between runs of the hfslip-1.7.8.cmd command?

You're right. My fault. Now that I re-read the tutorial, I see that the fdvfiles.zip file is not linked directly until the "Removing IE (and a LOAD of other junk) completely" section. In my defence I'll say only that the tutorial has in the very first section. That's what I started by doing. Anyway, thank you both for your time and sorry about the noise.

Hi all, About two weeks ago I created a Windows 2000 install CD by following the Windows 2000 total slipstream tutorial (up to and including step 13). The install went OK, but whenever I try to login, I get an error message: explorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. after which I can only hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE, log off, and try again. :-( Any ideas? I'm not trying to make anything fancy, just an install CD with all updates so I won't have to run (the horrendously slow) Windows Update immediately after installation. Perhaps there are better ways to reach this goal? HFSLIP.LOG.zip
