TommyP No problem with removing files. I can't remove lines in SYSSETUP.INF About enthusiasm... I was going to post in one old topic about HFSLIP and nLite about it (and I'll do - my source is about 130MB right now and working fast! And I've done only a part of reducing files you have. So it has a HUGE perspective

TommyP I'm not sure but my RIN files seems not to be filtering SYSSETUP.INF. My syntax is: syssetup.in;mdac syssetup.in;ims.cat syssetup.in;dtcsetup.cat But the lines are still in SYSSETUP.INF I choose filtering FDV's files in HFSLIP. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Working on removing DTC and IIS components I found that some CAT files become obsolete. I may be wrong but registering these files take some time before installing devices. This is the only info I have by now: CAT files found in SYSSETUP.INF: [ProductCatalogsToInstall] NT5INF.CAT - digital signature catalog file for hardware drivers included in source (?) NT5.CAT - digital signature catalog file for core OS binaries? (can be deleted) NT5PRTX.CAT - ? (can be deleted) NT5IIS.CAT - IIS? (can be deleted) MAPIMIG.CAT - ? (can be deleted) CJIME.CAT - Japanese? (can be deleted) DTCSETUP.CAT - DTC component (can be deleted) FP4.CAT - FrontPage extentions? (can be deleted) IMS.CAT - IIS (can be deleted) MQEXCHNG.CAT - ? (can be deleted) PHIME.CAT - Chinese Traditional (can be deleted) PYIME.CAT - Chinese Simplified Pin Yin input (can be deleted) SCRDBCAT.CAT - ? (can be deleted) HPCRDP.CAT - ? (can be deleted) MW770.CAT - digital signature for IBM MWave modem/sound card (can be deleted) IASNT4.CAT - ? (can be deleted) SP4.CAT - SP4.CAB related? (can be deleted) Anybody knows what component they represent? And I found more then 50 CATs in my system (some of them for hotfixes).

FDV Some usefull tools that maybe included in SHELL.INF: - Rasphone - may be usefull if one gets rid of Network Connection Wizard - IExpress Wizard - simple archivator that comes with Windows. - Registry Editor - this one may be questionable because ordinary user doesn't need it and it may be even dangerous sometime (but if he uses your fileset he should be smart enough SHELL.INF [version] signature="$Windows NT$" ClassGUID={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} LayoutFile=layout.inf [DestinationDirs] [DefaultInstall] ProfileItems = Calculator, Paint, Rasphone, IExpress, Regedit [Calculator] Name ="Calculator" CmdLine =11,,calc.exe SubDir ="Accessories" IconPath =11,,calc.exe InfoTip ="Performs basic arithmetic tasks with an on-screen calculator." [Paint] Name ="Paint" CmdLine =11,,mspaint.exe SubDir ="Accessories" IconPath =11,,mspaint.exe InfoTip ="Creates and edits drawings, and displays and edits scanned photos." [Rasphone] Name ="Rasphone" CmdLine =11,,rasphone.exe SubDir ="Accessories\Communications" IconPath =11,,rasphone.exe InfoTip ="Choose existing or create new Network and Dial-up connections." [IExpress] Name ="IExpress Wizard" CmdLine =11,,iexpress.exe SubDir ="Accessories\System Tools" IconPath =11,,iexpress.exe InfoTip ="Creates a self-extracting / self-installing packages." [Regedit] Name ="Registry Editor" CmdLine =10,,regedit.exe SubDir ="Accessories\System Tools" IconPath =10,,regedit.exe InfoTip ="Windows Registry Editor." [Strings]

So, placing a '_' before a file name doesn't delete it from the source Long file names seems to be working too.

Tomcat76 Thanx. It should be working Will try it next time. I don't need force Autologon, I wand "Oleg 2" appears as default user during first start and I want to enter my password. And it could be a nice feature for HFSLIP too

TommyP Two general questions about reducing files: 1. If a file is commented in a reducing file (see the example) will it be deleted or not? Example games.in sol.ch ;sol.ex sol.hl Will sol.exe file be deleted? 2. Is it possible to use long file names in reducing files? I'd like to use dummy file names just for refferences. Example fjtwcpl.cp HEWLLETPACKARDOFFICEJET.XX hposrc10.ds Can I use this HEWLLETPACKARDOFFICEJET.XX name ? I could try it myself (with commenting files) but I'm afraid won't be able to run tests untill next weekend

I'd like to share a few usefull INFs (not REGs but the usage is nearly the same - place files into HFSVPK). You can use them separately or combine in one TRICKS.INF The tricks are not mine and some people should be credited for creating them but unfortunately I don't have notes about the authors If you are interested search Unattended Forum for it. Name My Computer after user name (something like "Oleg 2's Computer" insted of "My Computer" [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKCR,"CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}","LocalizedString",0x20000,"%USERNAME%'s Computer" Control Panel to the right click on My Computer [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Control Panel\command",,,"rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL" Add Copy, Move and Send to the right click context menu [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKCR,"AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To",,,"{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" HKCR,"AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To",,,"{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" HKCR,"AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To",,,"{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}" List contents of a folder on right click [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKCR,Folder\shell\List Contents\command,,,"%11%\cmd.exe /C DIR ""%1"" /B /O /S>""%1""""_contents list.txt""" Open files with notepad in right click menu [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKCR,Unknown\shell\View with notepad\command,,,"%11%\notepad.exe ""%1""" Add "Command Prompt Here" when right-clicking a directory [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Tweaks [Reg.Tweaks] HKCR,"Directory\shell\Command Prompt Here\command",,,"%11%\cmd.exe /k cd ""%1""" PS Request: does anybody know how to add "My Network Places" to the right click on My Computer?

Tomcat76 Thanx for replying. I've already got it (about %UserName%). But the general question - how to define Name and Password is still actuall. Adding %Password% (see this change in my post) helps during installation but something goes wrong and new user is not in the first logon

Could somebody with batch scripting skills help to write the code for creating a user with HFSLIP? With choosing a user name and a password of cause It could be possibly included and run from HFSLIP.CMD. I used 3 methods for creating a user. 1. Including in INSTALL.INF and placing in HFSVPK folder these lines: @echo off cls echo. echo Creating Windows Account set /p UserName=Please enter a Name: set /p Pass=Please enter a Password: echo. echo Creating ... net user "%UserName%" "%Pass%" /add echo Adding ... net localgroup Administrators %UserName% /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited echo. rem Set to default user and user to autologon: @echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00> %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg @echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]>> %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg @echo "DefaultUserName"="%UserName%">> %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg @echo "DefaultPassword"="%Pass%">> %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg regedit /s %SystemDrive%\Temp\logon.reg exit The idea is good, especially with user name and password choosing. But something is going wrong with my installations - new user is created but he doesn't log during the first startup or is not a default user again.

FDV Is it possible not to include IE link in Quick Launch? If QL can't be created without a link maybe use some other pointer like Notepad or disk C: Just don't like this icon

If everything goes well next year I'd be happy to join the next party

Sorry if I made you feel like to be spammed. I receive about 1000 e-mail per day myself and 99% of that is spam so belive me I know how one feel about spam. It may look like spam but only first lines are the same (and there is a reason behind that if you know about cross-links and search results) and the rest is usefull information (?). I'm not going to explain about links and such. But another reason I created a few threads for is to have separate rooms for discussing separate question (like a thread conserning scanner drivers only, a thread about IE files, a thread about COM, a thread about components and so on). Some of them will go soon, some will stay for a period of time. But every one should be a specializing on one theme only. And I was going to make a general thread with links to all separate ones. But if you prefer to see one big thread when we are going to discuss so much questions at the same place (possibly forgiving some good ideas), OK, I'll move all contents in one place. TommyP Sent you a PM about moving threads.

You still don't know that HFSLIP can slim down W2k the way nLite does it? You possess a tool that can do the things nLite does with even more customatization!

TommyP That was a long-long-long trip I thought you are also very busy recently Oh! Of cause, I do! I have some questions concerning reduction files for you. Will contact you a bit later (should think over all the questions).

dziubek What addon pack you are interested in? I found some usefull things there but most of them can be done more easy: - some can be done with HFEXPERT folder (first should be unpacked); - some can be repacked in selfextracting archieves.
