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
