  1. what does speedup actually change?  Is it registry related??  if so it'd be good to discover what is altered and then make a registry tweak for it!

    All it does is move the less-used plugins to a folder called plugins_BAK and leave the necessary ones in the plugins folder. I just use a batch file to do all this instead of installing Adobe Reader Speed Up.

  2. 12. Very often we see meaningless subjects in topic title. They give no clue of what the posts are all about. For example:

    - Oh no!

    - Help

    - I'm mad

    - Please help

    - Question

    - I need your help

    - Hmmmm ....

    This should be avoided. Users should enter something more specific in topic title so that it is easier for others to help.

    A few good examples:

    - Strange problem with DirectX9b redist

    - RunOnceEx install problem (double installation)

    - Change Internet Explorer's Icon back to default

    No capitals in topic title either!

  3. taskkill.exe is included in Windows XP. hh.exe is the application used to view .chm files, such as AdAware's Help file. Killing hh.exe will end process on the help file.

    I would also suggest a 5 second gap before ending process on adaware.exe and hh.exe (use sleep.exe for this, on the downloads page) as taskkill executed too early in my case.

    TweakUI's setup file is not the same as other powertoy's installer packages, so /s /v/qn won't work. See: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/powertoys.htm

  4. There doesn't seem to be 'simple' ways of installing fox and bird... While they are great programs they are s***s to unattend.

    The way I do it (but takes up excess space on the CD, unless SFX archived) is to get the zip versions of Firefox and Thunderbird:

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...win32-0.9.3.zip

    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thu...0.7.3-win32.zip

    and extract them each to \$OEM$\$Progs\Mozilla Firefox and \$OEM$\$Progs\Mozilla Thunderbird and that's pretty much it, no switches.

    Finish it off by removing the read-only attributes in one of your batch files:

    attrib -R "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\*.*" /S /D

    attrib -R "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\*.*" /S /D
