Hello, I'm about to use MSFN as a last resort for my question which is not really unattended windows related but since this forum is more active then any other forum what so ever, this is probably the best place for me that get a desent answer. I posted my question on the inmatrix-forum (from Zoom Player) but considering the ammount of people active there it will be pretty hard for me to get an answer. I'm gonna post the exact same text as I did there so if any of you can help me please do ===================================================== Hello, my first post here and rightaway a difficult question... For the last months I've been working on my own filterpack which includes: VIDEO: -Gabest - AVI Splitter -Gabest - DirectVobSub (VSFilter) -Gabest - MPEG Splitter -Gabest - MPEG Video Decoder -Gabest - Matroska Splitter AUDIO: -DCoder - MP3 DirectShow File Source Filter -Gabest - OGG Splitter -CoreVorbis DirectShow Filter -CoreAAC DirectShow Filter -AAC Parser DirectShow Filter -DCoder - MOD (Tracker) Directshow File Source Filter -Gabest - CD Audio Filter -Gabest - CDXA Reader Filter -Radlight MPC DirectShow Filter Except for VSFilter (dll-file) all the filters are ax-files and I register these filters with BAT-files. example: ECHO Registering Gabest - MPEG Splitter REGSVR32.EXE /s "Video\Gabest - MPEG Splitter\osMPEGSplitter.ax" furthermore I use: -ffdshow -Open Source AC3 Filter -Real Alternative -QuickeTime Alternative -and offcourse Zoom Player Now then, this all works prefectly, and some day I noticed an MP4-file somewhere on my HDD, but then I noticed Zoom Player wasn't able to play this file! So I went looking on the internet and found this site: Zoom Player On-Line Documentation Soon I discovered that I had to use 3ivx for my MP4 file, but since I only use ax-files I dont want any installers again! So I installed 3ivx on a different computer so I could take a look which particular file I needed (since you can't open it with WinACE or 7zip :X)...this turned out to be: "3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax" This file I copied to my own computer and used: ECHO Registering 3ivx DirectShow Media Splitter REGSVR32.EXE /s "3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax" to register the splitter (the BAT-file was in the same directory as the ax-file) ...Zoom Player still couldn't play this MP4-file! Like the Zoom Player On-Line Documentation says: I used REGSNAP to monitor which registry keys were altered/inserted by changing this "Allow Unsupported Decoders" option and so I discovered: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\3ivx] "3ivx Media Splitter Props"=hex:01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,0d,0c,36,\ 41,00,00,00,00 that this setting enables this "Allow Unsupported Decoders" option, BUT... It's the 3ivx-installer that creates this [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\3ivx] "directory", so if I would apply this REG-key after I used my BAT-file to register "3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax" (without installing the 3ivx D4 4.5.1 package itself on my computer) this still wouldn't do any good! So what I ask of you is: after I apply my BAT-file to register the splitter I somehow need to configure this splitter so "Allow Unsupported Decoders" is enabled. Since the above REG-key only applies to the 3ivx installer I need to have another REG-key (or whatever) to enable this option. If someone can help me with this please do! THANKS IN ADVANCE =====================================================

@ war59312: thank you very much, now my friend isn't so cool anymore about having Mozilla and it's search function B) I integrated it with my regtweaks and tested it > didn't even have to reboot for it to work > flawless

this tweak: ;Add Google As Main/Default Search Page [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Search Page"="http://www.google.nl" "Search Bar"="http://www.google.nl/ie" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL] @="http://www.google.nl/search?q=%s" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search] "SearchAssistant"="http://www.google.nl/ie" Is in any case much better then the standard search method (msn) But does any of you know with what registry key I can just type my search query in the addressbar in Internet Explorer? (like in Mozilla )

Since nobody can answer your question I guess I wil because I've experienced exactly the same and I think the MRU list is very handy too! Here we go: In Johnny Do's registry tweaks there is this tweak: ;----- Won't check if you are low on diskspace and pop up a balloon telling you ;----- NoInstrumentation disables windows user tracking ;----- ;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] ;"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001 ;"NoInstrumentation"=dword:00000001 ;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] ;"NoLowDiskSpaceChecks"=dword:00000001 ;"NoInstrumentation"=dword:00000001 It's strange that those tweaks are put together because afaik they have nothing in common "NoInstrumentation disables windows user tracking" should be: "NoInstrumentation disables windows user tracking (disables MRU)" because this is the tweak to blame for your problem (and mine as well ) > To (re)enable the MRU list in your startmenu ignore this tweak and remove it from your regtweaks.reg. If you've allready applied this tweak just remove "NoInstrumentation" from [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] > My pleasure

Correct me if I'm wrong, but... When I use "batch script" (like @ECHO OFF and ECHO.) for my RunOnceEx.cmd rather then the kind of script used here, then the only place where I should list RunOnceEx.cmd is in WINNT.SIF like this right? [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\Install\RunOnceEx.cmd Or does RunOnceEx.cmd start autmatically like WINNT.SIF? That way you don't have to list it anywere Could someone please give me a correct answer for this or else I can't make my own CD

You see I'm quit a noob with those scripts So with "batch script" you mean the language with "@ECHO OFF" and "start /wait"? Then how do you call the script language where you use:...? SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f Anyway...I use the batch script and so if I understand correctly I then don't want to put it into cmdlines.txt, but instead only in WINNT.SIF?

As you can see in the Windows XP Setup Timeline at First Logon it says: Does this mean RunOnceEx.cmd automatically starts just like WINNT.SIF, or do I still have put it in WINNT.SIF like this? [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\Install\RunOnceEx.cmd

cewl! so nothing in filetype.bat needs to be changed? and...are the commands language sensitive? I mean...as you can see I'm dutch and so I have a Dutch version of WinXP. because of that do i need to change "assoc .nfo=txtfile" for instance in "assoc .nfo=Tekstdocument" > does it really matter!? thanks in advance

As I saw in the "Gosh - Unattended Tips and Tricks" topic the possibility to implent file association type in to your unattended cd...could anyone tell me if the following code is correct for that to work!? RunOnceEx.cmd ECHO. ECHO Associating File Types start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.bat filetype.bat assoc .blt=txtfile assoc .cue=txtfile assoc .diz=txtfile assoc .eml=txtfile assoc .iss=txtfile assoc .log=txtfile assoc .md5=txtfile assoc .m3u=txtfile assoc .nbi=txtfile assoc .nfo=txtfile assoc .nt=txtfile assoc .pif=txtfile assoc .sam=txtfile assoc .sif=txtfile assoc .sfv=txtfile (can anyone tell me what "REM ftype will also show all registered types" mean exactly?) Thanks in advance

so CLS and @echo off have the same function ...weird not topic related? I guess if you look at the first page of this thread you most certainly see things about filetyp associations!!! but oh well...I'll post a new one

First of all what does CLS do? And can you tell me what "REM ftype will also show all registered types" means exactly? (I'm quit the beginner with this stuff) So, can someone please tell me if the following CODE whould work? RunOnceEx.cmd ECHO. ECHO Associating File Types start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.bat filetyp.bat REM ftype will also show all registered types assoc .blt=txtfile assoc .cue=txtfile assoc .diz=txtfile assoc .eml=txtfile assoc .iss=txtfile assoc .log=txtfile assoc .md5=txtfile assoc .m3u=txtfile assoc .nbi=txtfile assoc .nfo=txtfile assoc .nt=txtfile assoc .pif=txtfile assoc .sam=txtfile assoc .sif=txtfile assoc .sfv=txtfile

sorry to bump into this rather already old topic, but I'd like to ask gosh something about Trick #3: Associate file types... What do you exactly mean by...REM ftype will also show all registered types...? and the last one: assoc *=txtfile...doens't this mean all other files will be associated to a txtfile? then...if I put your assoc commands in "filetype.cmd" for instance and I link that in "RunOnceEx.cmd" like this: ECHO. ECHO Associating File Types start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.cmd Whould that work?

p.s. can someone tell me how I can add the (Fridge-RaideR @ Sep 16 2004, 02:09 AM) blah blah blah behind the QUOTE thingy?

>(Fridge-RaideR posted this on my behalf) Thank you, I will try this out the next time I'm formatting my computer
