    about unattended install

    in nLite

    Posted

    before ~8 months i made unattended XP install using nLite

    but i noticed that when i wanted to repair OS (not format)

    the option was not available when booting from CD

    is this effect from unattended installs ?

    or because i deleted VALUEADD folder and not included on CD (needed space) ?

    i add my last session just in case

    LAST SESSION.INI

    explorer/shell toolbar editing

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    so basicaly, when user enables address bar in explorer

    you get "Address" written

    when you enable for toolbars to "show text labels"

    you get labels below buttons (back forward views...)

    i'd like to remove them - yes i know buttons can be changed to have no txt labels,

    BUT i'd like to replace the labels with blank space (don't ask why :P)

    i searched in explorer.exe, iexplore.exe, shell32.dll and mshtml.dll

    and i couldn't find anything (or maybe i'm blind?)

    any pointers regarding this ?

    sys restore files question

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    i have XP SP3 in my VM

    and i noticed that whenever i rename sys file in order to replace it (both in safe mode)

    that OS makes backup in _RESTORE folder (C:\System Volume Information\_restore{F1F7736D-517F-4539-9498-EE266889A1A0}\RP5)

    but why does it OS do, if no restore point is set for that date when files are renamed/backuped ?

    to me it only seems it takes additional space for no reason

    Posted

    hmm

    how about this

    when i already change what buttons i want, and how my toolbars are set and all that

    do you know which key saves that

    since i'd like to improt that key so i can have on custom installs same UI

    as the one i customized ?

    i tried to import from VM customized key you gave

    into my host PC and nothing changed

    i killed explorer and re-run, again no changes

    hexing win32k and NTOSKRNL

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    don't know how much this goes into "illegal" things for this board

    feel free to warn or lock the thread if so

    i'm interested in changing XP build number (not the desktop via registry)

    so people on some boards said files needed to hexed are win32k.sys and ntoskrnl.exe

    but in there i don't find anything related to "2600" (regarding XP build number)

    anyone can tell what needs to be edited :D ?

    (maybe im blind) :P

    system files wrong build number

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    i use XP SP3 + later patches, and noticed that some system files (like explorer)

    have changed build number to 6.0.2900.5512

    (while CMD ver and winver still shows 5.1.2600)

    shouldnt all XP files post SP3 have build of 5.1.26xx.5512 ?

    and why did they brand it as 6.0 (vista) ?

    can't lower or disable PageFile

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    will try

    tho last time i got that yellow "attention" icon in sys tray

    and popup by windows saying "vm is to low bla bla bla, windows is resizing page file size"...

    funny thing now, even if my PF is deleted and non existant

    System Info and Everest still report it exists and is being used

    while defragmenter i use (not by MS) and Task Manager don't see the PF :S

    can't lower or disable PageFile

    in Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    registry editing helped (thanks !)

    and yes i always hit "set" before apply

    but it seems OS leaves pagefile.sys to be there, had to remove it via unlocker...

    only then i could re-enter new (small) values

    i wonder, if i may ask another question

    when i re-entered smaller values (min 2MB, max 4MB)

    can be something be done so OS doesn't automaticly starts to resize PF ?

    as i only wish to leave small PF for minidumps if BSOD happens

    but nothing above 1 or 2 MB, so the RAM can take everything else isntead HDD ?
