keepass works great... has a password generator and can store all of the passwords you want and use a USB key as a hardware key to open the database

It all depends.. where are you using it? what are you using it for? how often do you change the key? I've been doing work with stuff like that lately and it always depends... even if you lock down the connection what about the hardware being used? could they be broken into? If you're just asking about just the connection itself if you're just surfing at home it should be secure enough but I wouldn't trust it for a corporate environment

where did you tell it to run application.cmd?

well I'm automating the entire thing so the install isn't a problem... I'm just wondering about after the install if the keyboard will be recognized or at least it will be asked to authorize itself or if I'll still need the 2nd kb hooked up to use it... and there's a new intellipoint for bluetooth software out? every time I check MS' site it says it's only available on the cd

no one has dealt with this problem or one similar? maybe just using a bluetooth kb in general?

excellent... now to do a quick search for how to run the script from my cd and how to set maxthon as default from the getgo and I'm set... thanks again...

$OEM$/$Docs/All Users/Start Menu/ then put your shortcuts there

I've been looking over posts all over the forum and I see people saying that the bluetooth support in SP2 is good and others saying it's bad... and talking to MS support they say I'll be fine... I have a Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and usually during installs I would have to have a normal keyboard hooked up to be able to do anything... since I'm making an unattended cd that's not really a problem but when I finish I'm wondering will my keyboard work from the getgo or will I still need to install the intellipoint software (which MS still refuses to offer anywhere except on their cd) Is there anyone that has the MS bluetooth keyboard that has used SP2 that could give me an answer? vmware tests really don't help me figure it out... thanks in advance...

well thanks for the help everyone... seems to be working now and I think I've figured out the problem with my install file... so does anyone have any tips on how to clean it up or tools I can look into? I keep reading about xplode... is it something I should look into or is it meant for more advanced stuff than I'm doing...

I had that too... it reads what's in the quotes as the entire command and the rest as a new command... so do "%ProgramFiles%\winzip\winzip32.exe /noqp /autoinstall" instead though right now my problem is the fact that it just opens a new window and hangs when it's supposed to be running one of the programs

Have you or anyone else figured out how to automatically install support for reading say Japanese characters? I asked about it in another thread but never got a response. To my understanding (and I am a noob to this so I could be dead wrong) but the languagegroup setting tells it which language packs to install.... so mine is english, chinese, japanese, etc and theoretically I should be able to go to one of those sites and not need to install the language pack... but I could be wrong... and no one has any tips or even places to look about the install file I'm using? I can accept needing to do the update page but I would like to have the rest of it be automated... then at least it's just one thing I need to do and then still have all my programs installed...

I thought it needed the automatic updates switch?

I'll try that out... I think I remember seeing it in some other threads... just a question though... why does it list it as unattended in the ref file? I mean microsoft would never be wrong... ever...

install.bat is in the Install dir under $1 so it gets copied over to the computer and then should run all of the installs silently

$OEM$/$1/drivers then 000_sata, 001_network, 002_graphics I don't have any special chipset drivers to install but I have some extra (not the drive the install is going to) drives that I'd like found by the install so I can access them after the install is done and I removed the \.. thanks
