Download a registry monitoring program, and it'll tell you what changes. I think the InstallRite (a installation monitor) will allow you to watch the registry and I beleive it'll export it for you and everything. I'd try and help you more, but I don't know what AND STUFF means

Hey, I take offence to that. Not every noob asks stupid questions without searching or doing work themselves first. Not every noob is a dumbass. Its just the dumbass noobs make the rest of us look bad Also, I know you weren't trying to be a jerk or anything, the noobs that just post questions without searching p*** everyone off, especially those of us who work hard to make this work, and others just expect it handed to them on a silver platter.

The only problem (correct me if i'm wrong here) with compiling to EXE is that you will still need the original batch file if you ever need to change something, and then you will also need to recompile the batch to executable. The next time an upgrade for software comes out, you can't simply edit your batch, you need to edit the batch (assuming you were smart enough to keep it), and then recompile to to executable. Obviously, this is not a big deal and won't really take you any more time than creating the batch file would, but if you use this method, remember to KEEP your original batch.

I started with batch files and still use them ...kinda I now use WIHU, but it calls my batch files in order to function. It took me a long time to make my batch files do what I want them to do and I don't want to lose it. WIHU calls the batch file (which is hidden using CMDOW) and it then installs. I also have WIHU set up as the autorun on my XPDVD, making it a really handy program installer as well.

It can be done, but the easiest thing to do is simply re rip all of your media. Yeah, I know its a pain in the butt, but its easier than trying to crack the protection on the files you already have. Just my 2 cents.

This might be a stupid question, but will all the functionality of MP10 be included with this method?

Pretty much any logo can be taken out or removed all together. I do not know the locations, but simply mess around with Resource Hacker, or whatever program you use, and look at the pics and see which ones you want and which you don't. I beleive most of the information can be found on this forum, somewhere. Finding it is the hard part! Good luck!

Easy boot is massively easy to use. If you read the sticky for the multiboot section, and goto flyakite's site, you'll notice he already has an easyboot script made. Take that, and modify it to suit your needs.

I also have SBC, and I think it does require software installed. The connection is PPoE (???) based, and is basically a dialup connection. Whats actually is going on is that SBC tries to conserve bandwith and when you aren't using the internet, it cuts you off of it to preserve the bandwith. Many people that use SBC don't even know this because the first thing they did was connect a router, and one of the settings we all use is a setting that tells the router to automatically reconnect ever 30 seconds or so to help prevent the internet connection from being dropped. What we did was actually cause the router to "dialup" every 30 seconds to ensure that the connection isn't dropped, and this also effectively makes our connection always on instead of as needed. My guess is either that kornychaos doesn't have a router, and he is the only one on his DSL line, or that he a router, but just hasn't set this option up yet.

Um... I think your problem might be as simple as you are spelling it wrong! The command is one word: TASKKILL Try using this command and see what happens.

Create an AUTOIT script. It'll install exactly what you want.

I might be mistaken, but I beleive this is against the house rules. I would suggest searching google and the typical WAREZ sites. This is not a site designed to help you when you "forget" (take that as you will) your password, because there can be major legal problems involved in doing so. This site has a reputation to uphold as well as the law.

Are you planning on just yanking the HD out and plugging it in as the main drive in your new computer, or are you planning on using it as a second HD? If you want to use it as your main, XP will freak out on you. XP is like ....old people, they DO NOT LIKE CHANGE. Changing from P3 to P4 is a major change. If you just want to use it as a second HD, you can just throw it in and make sure you set it as a slave drive, or just plug it in with your CDROM (CD drives are NORMALLY on a seperate channel than the HD). You can delete and format the drive, or you can do this via Windows, whichever you prefer.

You can do all of this using the methods you learn here. You may want to look into the program known as WIHU (Windows Installation Helper Utility). This program offers you a nice pretty GUI interface that allows you to select what software you want to install. You can also have default settings which will automatically be installed. Basically, the things that you would be most interested in are the Application Switches for the silent installs so that the software won't bother the user once you tell it all the pieces of software you want to be installed. All you would do then, is make an AUTORUN that calls WIHU and the rest is history.

That looks right to me. I don't know why its not working. Someting could be wrong in your SIF file perhaps? I beleive media center uses 2 discs, maybe you accidently got that disc.

That is truely a great creation. My AIO DVD really needs that, just going from CD case into DVD drive causes scratches. Every DVD I own has been copied (backup, not bootlegged), and the original has only been out of its case once (to copy), so I don't worry too much about my bought DVD's. For my copied DVD's this coating would be great. Does anyone know if its a coating thats available to apply to a DVD, or will it be put onto commercial DVD's?

I've done it just fine with CORP edition. How did you slipstream? Did you use nlite or do it the "old fashioned" way and use a command line/run? The reason I ask is because when you use nlite you are in another ballpark and maybe you should ask your question there. If you did what I did, and created it using the commands built into SP2, then I don't know what happened. It worked fine when I did it. I didn't follow the guides here, I found other guides before I started messing with unattended discs, and the guide I used was for SP1, but it worked just fine. Many people have used the guide here and didn't have a problem with it, so that should not be the case.

You could make a self extracting RAR file that extracts everything to the temp directory, and calls a batch file you made that installs the programs silently for you. I do this for a few of my files, and then just delete the %temp% directory when you are done.

Normally u only call 1 file in GUIRUNONCE try this: GuiRunOnce [GuiRunOnce] %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BATCHES\STUFF.BAT STUFF.BAT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BATCHES\APPS.BAT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BATCHES\APPS2.BAT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BATCHES\DRIVERS.BAT %SYSTEMDRIVE%\BATCHES\start.cmd Batch Apps.bat This should work (as long as your batches are good) Good luck EDIT: Also, I'm not sure, but your BAT file should be a CMD file. I'm not sure. I use all BAT files, but the one my GUIRUNONCE file calls is a CMD, maybe there was a reason I did that.

Couldn't YOU do this in your batch file? Something like IF EXIST Z:\file.txt DO Z:\wihu.exe /INI=Network.ini ELSE %CDROM%\wihu.exe /INI=CDINSTALL.ini Z: of course would be your network shared drive and %CDROM% would be your CDRom drive. I'm not very good with DOS programming techniques, but the idea at least is sound (i think )

I have used the Nero program, and did not like it at all. I will agree with Radimus, DVD Shrink is a MUCH better program, I have deleted DVD XCOPY off my disc since its crap. DVD Shrink you can do the exact same things as XCOPY, but it works better, takes less time (for me at least), and is just as simple to use, click the backup button, its easy!

There is software that will do this for you. I forget what its called, but if you search PCMAGAZINE for DVR you can probably find it.

As for REGCLEANER, try AUTOIT. its a really simple program, and its help file will help you a lot. IT'll silently install pretty much any program you want. All the program does is basically simulate keystrokes and mouse clicks, so the possibilities are endless!

You really should be allowed to kil the command with TASKKILL /IM NOTEPAD.EXE /FMaybe your taskkill command is run too fast? Have you tried using SLEEP? You can download sleep, and simply put it in your SYSTEM32 directory, and then run sleep after you install your program and give it about 5 seconds, then try the TASKKILL command. It really should work as long as all it is doing is opening notepad

@jeet From what it sounds like, you have created the bootable disc, correct? You want to turn your floppy into an image that you can use on the computer, or on a CD. I hope I am understanding this correctly, cause if I am not, then I'm just wasting my time! Simply buy (yeah right!)/download software called "WINIMAGE" It is software designed for creating/editing floppy images. All you have to do is tell the software to create an image of your floppy disc! Its that easy! One thing to make sure of though, whatever boot loader that might be on your CD, make sure you create in image thats compatable with it.
