Disk Defragmenter is installed, you'll only need to re-create the missing shortcut in Accessories > Tools. Using %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc as a shortcut. It's not in Optional components because its a core component of Windows and isn't meant to be removed at all.

You can use registry hacks to disable services, there's various dword values for disabled, manual, and automatic. Thanks for the NET User command. At the moment I have unattendedswitch set at no so that the Welcome to Windows XP screen appears (where I can create a new User). After that it logs in under the account I just created, and then runs the batch to install updates and software. There may be a slight problem when using NET User instead because its processed in the batch and logged in as default Administrator, so the various reghacks for HKEY_Current_User and the powertoys won't exist when logging in with my own name. edit: The java patch is part of my batch (msjavwu.exe /Q:A /R:N). But I think this only works if an existing older copy of Java is on the OS (e.g. in the original Service Pack 1, not 1a). And yeah, it would be ace to put this on a DVD, I'll be able to add lots more silent-installed software

yes its on the XP CD, you will have to run system file checker from the command prompt to restore any missing files. Start > Run > cmd sfc /scannow Insert XP CD. Edit: I've put together all the required executables and dll libraries from the XP CD, all you have to do is extract the zip and right click the inf file and select "Install". You can get the file from here (Note: This is from the Professional edition)

Happy birthday 'o' quiet one!

Try this in Start > Run: %SystemRoot%\System32\dfrg.msc If that works, then you'll need to re-add the Shortcut to your Tools Folder.

Been really hot in England today as well, this has to be the hottest day this year. PHEW!!!

Cute /me tries it out

1. Are you sure Office1.cab isn't in the root of your CD? 2. Have you checked with 'show hidden files and folders enabled'? 3. Have you copied the whole CD to the hard drive and ran setup from there? If Office1.cab doesn't exist, then your CD is possibly damaged. Run it through CD-Check from here just to be sure.

Thanks, posted

Office1.cab is usually a hidden file so if you reburned your CD to include a slipstreamed Service Pack, then its likely you may have missed out adding the Office1.cab file. If its there on the CD, then copy all files from the CD to the hard drive, this should remedy the problem.

You can only export them via the Daily/Weekly/Monthly tab in the Totals and Reports section. You could cut out the css from each page and put it into a stylesheet.css file and link to that from your html pages. This would ease the updates you put on your website weekly/monthly. I will send in a request to Hagel Technologies to implement an FTP web-update feature.

That's just sickening and bizarre!

You wasn't very clear in what you said (spelling errors?), but I assume you're trying to say you want to use something else to take webcam shots instead of using movie maker 2. Yes you can, any photo app that uses TWAIN acquire is able to take shots. Paintshop Pro 7 is one of them that's able to do it.

A Happy Birthday for our furred moderator

You should have started a new thread, as this thread is about Registry tweaks. You can get Windows server 2003 from: https://microsoft.order-5.com/windowsserver2003evaldl It's been available since March this year. You won't need any screenshots, just visualise XP's desktop with the classic theme. Everything's mostly the same.

Thanks for the notice, file has been updated.

Cisco do the best networking gear, that's why they're so expensive.

Sometimes yes, most of the time no. Its a funny issue I've found in XP, but hasn't affected the operation of my CD-RW/DVD Drives.

Hi Redheads Welcome to the MSFN forums!

Yeah you can create another partititon for another OS to reside on, it won't conflict with the data on your main partition (except for boot data). Partitions are also handy for storing your backups on (setup files to favourite applications etc) so you can format your OS partition without affecting your backup partition.

What happens exactly? What kind of error messages you get? (make a note of them). Check the Event Viewer in Control Panel > Admin Tools for anything out of the ordinary.
