Could an admin please move this to the xp section, i posted it in the wrong spot.

Hi there, I have windows xp professional. Now I recently found out how to use the user accounts dialog box by typing control userpasswords2 in the command prompt, instead of having to use the user accounts link in control panel which brings up that hideous wizard type interface. What I would like to do is edit the registry entry, that links that icon in the control panel to the command to open the wizard style user accounts creation window, to allow the icon when clicked to link to the control userpasswords2 command instead so i get the other user accounts dialog box which has more options. If anyone can help me that would be much appreciated. If i put this post in the wrong section please move it to the appropriate section.

Does anyone know how I can delete this start menu shortcut using cleamup.cmd????

Hi, there I want to delete a Start Menu Shortcut using my cleanup.cmd file. Every bit of my cleanup.cmd file works, except the part I included to delete the shortcut. Could someone tell me if I am deleting it right. If I am not could you please tell me the appropriate way to delete it using my cleanup.cmd file. Here is the section from my cleanup.cmd file: DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\X-Setup Pro" This is a start menu shortcut.

Hi my cleanup.cmd file does all it is supposed to do, except that it doesn't execute the registry file to delete the runoncex reg files. Can someone take a look at my cleanup.cmd file and tell me what is wrong with it. I want it to run the deleteregistryfiles.reg file from the cd so i included if statements, so i could use the %CDROM% variable as a path. When looking at my cleanup.cmd file please tell me if i did the if statements right as well. Thank you now here is my cleanup.cmd file. cmdow @ /HID @echo off IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J: shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." net user aspnet /delete DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\PowerToys\CmdHerePowertoySetup.exe" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\PowerToys\DeskmanPowertoySetup.exe" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\PowerToys\TweakUI.msi" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\RegistryTweaks.reg" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\MSN\bootstrap.exe" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\MSN\MsnMsgs.msi" DEL "%systemdrive%\Install\WMP10\mp10setup.exe" RD "%systemdrive%\Install\WMP10" RD "%systemdrive%\Install\MSN" RD "%systemdrive%\Install\PowerToys" RD "%systemdrive%\Install" Start %CDROM%\$OEM$\DeleteRegistryFiles.reg

Did you add switches in the batch file? Ex TweakUi /quiet Did you switches like that in the batch file? If not go to the unattended xp cd link, when you see all the options go to applications, there you will learn how to install applications without user interaction, at the very bottom of the list you will inno setup and other installer programs' click on those if the application that you want installed is not on the list, this way it will tell you how to install other applications that are not on the list, by telling you how to do a silent install(no user interaction) for the different setup programs. if this don't exactly make sense, i assure you it will make alot more sense when you check it out on the site. and just so you know there is a program called runonceex.cmd creator, it is a very good program, that makes it alot easier to install programs using the runonceex.cmd method, and it also helps to understand the process a bit more easily. to check this program out, got to the runonceex.cmd tutorial on unattended.msfn.org and click on the link for the runonceex.cmd creator Hope this helps

Hi there, I am having a problem with my Cleanup.cmd file. I have this file setup on a cd so that it is not installed onto the hard drive during runonceex.cmd The registry part of this file works but the del command isn't deleting the c:\install folder I have posted my cleanup.cmd file here, the if statements are so that it can be run from my cd cmdow @ /HID @echo off IF EXIST D:\CD.txt set CDROM=D: IF EXIST E:\CD.txt set CDROM=E: IF EXIST F:\CD.txt set CDROM=F: IF EXIST G:\CD.txt set CDROM=G: IF EXIST H:\CD.txt set CDROM=H: IF EXIST I:\CD.txt set CDROM=I: IF EXIST J:\CD.txt set CDROM=J: shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..." net user aspnet /delete DEL "%systemdrive%\Install" Start %CDROM%\$OEM$\DeleteRegistryFiles.reg NOTE: I figured out the problem, i just remembered the del command cannot delete folders that have files in them

Thanks man, problem solved.

Oh I'm not upset at anyone, just thinking that was a stupid mistake that i made

Well I just fixed the problem, and it still says it is not a valid registry script.

AHHHHHH CRAPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could have I overlooked that. Man I feel sooooo stupid. Thanks for pointing that out, I probably wouldn't have noticed that right away. I'm gonna be kicking myself for a while.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this registry file, it keeps saying it is not a registry script.

this is just an image, the image shows the progress bar area, and the windows xp text, it is all one picture, it can be edited, i want those removed so i can take the picture out to add to my own custom boot screen, but i don't have the experience to edit the picture so that it looks like the progress bar are and the text were never there. I can send you the image that i have removed from the kernel file of the bootscreen so that you have the right size and all.

Doe anyone have a way I can edit the useraccounts.cmd file so that i can have the useraccount created without prompting me to say yes to the question about my password being longer than 14 characters, or if anyone has another way i can create my account without using the command prompt i will gladly listen.

Themexp Ok here is the image, I want the progress bar removed and the windows xp part removed and i want the image in the middle restored to what it used to look like if possible.
