    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.

  2. 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

  3. 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?

    :P

  4. i have a bunch of wallpapers in XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper.

    but i have to "browse", then load each one, for them to show up in the preview menu of display properties > desktop.

    is there a way so that those wallpapers are automatically in the menu of the display properties?

    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.

    :rolleyes:

  5. 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?

    :)

  6. 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?

    :)

  7. I am having a few dramas with this seem to install fine on my test machine by calling it directly from the sfx.exe

    ECHO.

    ECHO Installing Net framework 1.1 updated...

    start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\net\setup.exe /qb

    but would not install on my main machine basically flashed the first box & closed the cmd window. Tried the autoit.exe posted but seems to loop & does not install.

    @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
