@hUmAnzZ You are at the 2nd menu? 1st menu is 1. Setup XP 2. create partition 3. delete partition you must delete the partition first. Then setup XP. I think you maybe choosing setup xp first? your sif should be ok?

@bucketbuster When you choose tempmode. you do not need to ckoose a path. winrar does that and deletes it self after install.

@j4ever use this ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=Netfx.msi /qn /norestart TempMode Silent=1 Overwrite=1

Look, a fabo program here: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Else, you know where to search in reg. Maybe has a hidden spot. You will find out.

@crahak Maybe true, but I believe that you can do without choice.com. It's existance is dying for a reason. It's like the old goto and gosub commands are dead amongst the latter lauguages. I realize batch lauguage is restrictive, but I think that your dependency on choice.com is showing alot. BTW, do not let me take away, how helpful you are, towards people in need. Keep the good spirit going.

Cool, but you can do that from batch anyway without anything from outside.

Some more tweaks, may help the cause? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Human\Normal behavior] "Pop goes the weasle"=0000000 "Trust ya lover"=0000001 "If such silly a fool"=0000000 "I need brain surgery"=0000001 "I don't trust anyone?"=0000001 "Sorry for the logger"=0000001

Sorry, but mine are all jpegs. Wierd eh? B)

You need choice.com to do this?

@jaclaz The way dos show drive letters and windows shows them are two different story's. I have lost data through drive mix up. Expensive lesson to learn. The hardware setup must be correct before anything else .

To add to this. Make sure that master and slave connections align with the harddrives. If you have the master connected to the slave IDE, windows may arrange it as a latter drive letter. Speaking IDE here of course. btw all SATA are all masters, so no prob there.

Spyware? I think that it is called a keylogger. I disprise these proggies. I believe antispyware programs detect these type of vermon. Or you might find a more precise removal tool. Try adaware, Spybot etc. Or use taskmanager to find it and destroy the pest.

If you can improve on this autorun process. By all means let us know. Prob may be that some of this third party apps, that we install, may destroy the bliss. But there is only one way to find out. Please by all means.

Here is an article on profile change, not sure if it relates directly with Viper999 question. But an open mind may open new doors here? NTUser.dat could be a handy option if compatiblity could be devised? Here is a tweak? http://www.tweakxp.com/tweak1591.aspx Don't want to upset anyone with the word NTUser.dat, but it is an interesting area?

When you check this out. You can swap bills profile with toms. To my knowledge.

CopyProfile tool from M$ states: A Microsoft Windows user profile describes the Windows configuration for a specific user, including the user's environment and preference settings. The user profile contains those settings and configuration options specific to the user, such as installed applications, desktop icons, and color options. This profile is built in part from System Policy information (for example, those things that a user has access to and those things that the user can and cannot change) and in part from permitted, saved changes that a user makes to customize the desktop. The tool CopyProfile allows the administrators to copy profile of one user to another from a command line. As per KB article Q305709(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=305709) Administrators can create default user profiles by copying profile. This tools removes the dependency on the Graphical interface and lets the administrator copy profile using scripts. Using the copyprofile tool is relatively easy. The command line for the tool has a single format. CopyProfile <sourceuser> <destination dir> <permitted to use> <sourceuser> Source user denotes the user whose profile needs to be copied. This profile should not be already in use when copy operation is taking place. <destination dir> Destination directory is the directory where the files/registry settings etc. will be copied. Note: This directory will be deleted if it already exists. <permitted to use> Permitted to use user is the user who will have access rights on this newly copied profile. Samples: CopyProfile administrator “C:\Documents and Settings\Default User” Everyone Default Location of Copy Profile: %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Microsoft CopyProfile

@prathapml I was going to say the same. Regtweak is far easier.

If I understand this correctly. You are taking over the default profile and disabling all others. So, that means that any new users will inherit all your reg entries. No admin account if something goes wrong? No clean default user profile, so users cannot adjust to thier tastes. If true, cannot see any good in this practice. Why not just take over the admin account?

M$ supplies a commandline tool, just for profile copying. And you can just use a copy command, with success. That tool maybe for network reasons? Good knowledge. Thanks.

Strange, I do the same thing by adding wallpapers. I do not have to browse, they are in the display properties. Your location looks good, by what I see.

I do not understand? If you go into the drive properties. You can change autorun and the events the make it respond to dvd, movies, data etc. The system searches for an inf file for autorun. And it searches for the type of content on the cd, so it can diplay the correct run routine for the preselections in properties. If your cd is continually searching, than it may be a problem with your drive or media?

@jrzycrim I do not have them tweaks. Here is my list. only thing remotely close is maybe services in my computer? Take a look please. Opps wrong post. Classic at startup tweak problem.

If it runs correct directly. Then it must be the command that you are passing to it. If I create batch file with this inside it: start /wait aDotnet.exe Put it in the same directory as the aDotnet.exe and setup.exe, then run it. The command window open. The sfx will extract, then progrss dialog for Microsoft .Net Framework will popup, install, then close, then cleanup dialog pops up. Then it finishes, command window then closes. I check it, and .Net is installed. Sorry, but it works for me?

Did it show the progress dialog titled "dotnet framework 1.1" ? It works here from a batch file.

@MAVERICKS CHOICE Hopefully your command is: ECHO. ECHO Installing Net framework 1.1 updated... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\net\aDotnet.exe Not the one that you posted? aDotnet will run setup.exe contained in the same dir. aDotnet needs the progress dialogs. ok. Switches below should be inside winrar sfx ;The comment below contains SFX script commands Setup=Netfx.msi /qb /norestart TempMode Silent=2 Overwrite=1
