$1 is the %SystemDrive% - Root of hard drive $$ is the %SystemRoot% - Windows Folder

I opened your reg file, looked at its content, corrected the errors and made some changes in it. Then I opened my text editor and typed in the same content in inf format. When that was done I looked at the instructions on RyanVMs site on how to make addons!<Edit> If you're interested, here is your corrected reg file to match the content of the cabbed and compressed inf. </Edit> MyComputer.zip

@Kelsenellenelvian I do hope that, WillyPad hasn't been used to make many of your addons, because the results it has produced are frankly disgraceful. Compare it with my 'hand produced' offering: MyComp.cab MD5: 1DCA52F88FD32D1CB885C08B8C2BFA5B

Some details please? Use this as your clean up command!@ECHO OFF FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%?

GOTO :EOF :KILLIT PUSHD %1 RD/S/Q LINKS &&(>Links TYPE NUL &(ATTRIB +S +R +H LINKS)) POPD &GOTO :EOF

What failed command(s) did you use? and what if any messages did you get? Have you tried to replace the HOSTS file in \I386 when you create the CD? The more we know, the better we can provide meaningful help!

Not possible.Are you quite sure about that?There is no difference in calling some code in another file and calling some code in the same file, you're still going to have HFSLIP full of references to things which are basically the 'bloat' to which we refer.

No that's not good enough, HFSLIP should not be calling your new cmd files, your cmd files should be calling HFSLIP!

tommyp, you've practically read my mind, I decided not to say a lot of what you said, for fear of specifically upsetting you; I thank you for your honesty. I still think that the script does a super job, and definitely know of nothing better, for performing it's original tasks. As most of you probably know I love batch scripts, I've re-written this one many times in order to attempt to keep it relatively 'modular', and suit my specific uses but even for my version it is starting to get out of hand. I know there are people who need everything given to them on a plate, for them though there is nLite, HFSLIP was unbloated, most knowledgeable non-scripters were capable of altering it sufficiently to perform their custom required tasks. Now it has become bloated, when I say bloated I don't mean the number of lines of code; that has, with the help of others improved where needed. It is including specialist items, taking our choices away from us. Without choices we may as well have a compiled executable with many options, just like nLite. Most of us preferred HFSLIP over nLite because we wanted to have some control, I personally want to keep a degree of control. What I would like to see, is the project to keep updating the script with slight improvements and any pertinent changes due to new hotfixes etc. I would also like to see maybe a sub-project, for those who want all the bells and whistles added, maybe a call to a new script, but using the original as the core would work better for all.

I'm probably alone here, but stop it…You're, making HFSLIP into bloatware. Do you intend to continue with the idea of ini files and adding functionality to allow everything possible to be included in the CD-ROM. Since the turn of the year, in my opinion, this project seems to have become too much! Can you produce a version of the script for just slipstreaming hotfixes and service packs!

This one's a beauty, you're going to kick yourself In the strings section, you've got: DOpusExeDescription = "Directory Opus" DOpusHelpDescription = "Directory Opus"What is happening is that you are creating an exe shortcut with the name Directory Opus, then creating a hlp shortcut with exactly the same name; thus overwriting the first with the second!

Now that we're several posts into your question, how about this! "%SystemDrive%\Install\start.cmd"You must put each command in quotation marks.

It just picks up more files, for instance any which contain additional dots in the filename. It also has the added benefit of being quicker to edit using findstr in regular expressions for instance.

If you'd like to post some more details, your file for instance, with your intentions of what you want including, it would probably help us to help you better.

MHZ, you are correct, he didn't need permission, he needed and requested market research! The trouble is that the only way he has of guaging the true outcome of that research is listen to the feedback, not argue with everyone who's opinion differs. Does he want everyone here to say YES I'LL PAY YOU!, then once he's set it all up, find that there is a limited market, and he's wasted all his effort. Like it or not there are only a small handful of sites where scripts intended for unattended silent installations will have any 'real' use. This is the biggest of those, and the customers opinion of himself could be critical in the future success. Calling his customers names and not listening to their feedback, doesn't augur well for that furture. I've already stated that he will get some recompense for his work, he was however warned that there is a much larger community of takers than he imagines, and he will be 'ripped off' by peoples lack of honour, when it comes to getting what they want. I really think he needs to change tack in the method(s) he adopts in order to achieve his goal.

Have you ever wanted to pause a NT Command Script, without using the ping command, vbs or a third party utility? Here's my way of doing it! (see the bottom of this post for the attached file) This is an NT Command Script, (batch file), just place addelay.cmd somewhere in your path and call it from another script, like this: CALL ADDELAY [mins] [secs] Where [mins] is an integer representing the number of minutes you wish to delay for. and [secs] is an integer representing the number of seconds you wish to delay for. If you don't wish to have any minutes, your first parameter, [mins], should be 0 Examples: CALL ADDELAY 0 15 delays the running NT Command Script by 15 seconds CALL ADDELAY 1 7 delays the running NT Command Script by 1 minute and 7 seconds CALL ADDELAY 3 delays the running NT Command Script by 3 minutes CALL ADDELAY 0 72 delays the running NT Command Script by 72 seconds Additionally: CALL ADDELAY displays an error message and delays the running NT Command Script for five seconds CALL ADDELAY 0 displays an error message and delays the running NT Command Script for five seconds CALL ADDELAY 0 0 displays an error message and delays the running NT Command Script for five seconds This is not intended to be a precision timepiece, so please don't start complaining about it being slightly inaccurate. I know it is, but it does the job for which I intended it. I hope it is useful! addelay.cmd

No it doesn't, the restricted zone and its respective settings are completely unaltered by the list. All the blocklist does is propagate the restricted zone with the contents of the list. How the sites are treated from there are simply according to the settings of the machine users restricted zones; and I'll reiterate, those are not changed at all by this list.

Firstly as I've said before, stop littering this blocklist thread with information regarding another product with a very similar name. The sites included in the blocklist are there for a reason, if you wish to expose your PC to those sites, especially in a browser which is launching ActiveX controls from those sites, then don't install all those listed. If you must use some of the sites on the list, and you feel safe enough to do so, either: remove them from the list before installing it, the list is provided in a text file for your prior information. remove those sites from the registry after installing. don't install the list. I don't mean to sound like I'm being rude, but these are not issues with the list, just issues with you and your implementation of it. Do you write to the makers of your firewall complaining that your buddy cannot access your PC from xx.xxx.x.xx because their program, by default is stopping it, or do you configure the firewall accordingly?

dstone2006, as I stated before, this blocklist does not alter Internet Explorer Security Settings. It is a list of domains, (sites), to which access is blocked. ActiveX controls not only are not affected by the blocklist, they are not used /recognized, by Firefox, or any non IE-engined browser.

You don't need to move them later, if you build in a delete command! Copy all the files, if you want them keeping in an uncompressed form, to a folder, then drag and frop the folder onto this file. cabem.cmd @PUSHD %1 ||EXIT @FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%? IN ('DIR/B/A-D') DO (@MAKECAB "%%?">NUL 2>&1 &&@DEL /A/F "%%?")It should be on two lines only! <Edit> If you want the safety of not deleting and not copying first, here's a safer version. It will create a folder inside the one you dropped named cabbed, and place all your newly cabbed files inside it, leaving the originals alone cabit.cmd @PUSHD %1 ||EXIT @FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%? IN ('DIR/B/A-D') DO (@MAKECAB "%%?" /L "CABBED">NUL 2>&1)This one is two lines too! </Edit>

Earlier I spotted a new sticky with the fore-mentioned name in The Developers Center > Programming (C++, Delphi, VB, etc.). It was started by Gouki and already posted in by gunsmokingman. Now it doesn't exist, what happened, and /or why?

Opinion is never incorrect, misguided or mistaken possibly, but never incorrect. Yes What was this? You are really under-estimating the resolve of thieves if you think that my statements have in any way given them an idea, they never would have thought of. What then is the context of the original discussion, if not about taking, giving or your feelings on remuneration for such things. I think I did! In life people have different opinions and even disagree. Some people on this forum may have been, quite willing to pay for your scripts, and you decided in advance to prevent that by calling the bulk of the people reading this thread scum.

Nologic, I can only comment upon what I know, that is: You said nothing other than that, if I got the wrong impression, then that is down to a lack of provided information by yourself, not through my own failure.This is only an impression from what I have read, but it appears that you feel that the Forum has wronged you in some way. Arguing with it's members and removing your scripts is going to fix that, but if it makes you feel better then go ahead. I have given my opinion, I too have posted hundreads of scripts here, mostly batch files, though vbscripts and inf files too, some even to order. I do understand how it can make you feel when people seem only to take, and never give. It also can at times seem worse due to the fact that we are an international forum, and different cultures and languages can also come accross to others in different ways. At the end of the day, I post here only if I want to, not because I was asked and not because I feel I need to. I usually try to use my scripts to aid others learning, and obviously to help either maintain or further my own learning and enthusiasm; this for me is payment enough. I have no argument with yourself or in fact your idea of financial payment as reward for your work. I do feel however, that the forum is not the place to market it unless you can provide some facts to help us understand the whys and hows.

Very few here will pay anything for any of your scripts! I'm not saying that your effort shouldn't be rewarded, simply that everyone seems to want everything for nothing. Now you seem to have suggested that you have removed the majority of your scripts from the forum and now would like to be rewarded for their use. If people want to reward you, then great, but only for new scripts. I don't think that you should charge for your original scripts which were done for others freely in the first place. Also, and this is not meant with any detriment to anyone here, the vast majority of your customer base are installing illegal pirated warez. If they are not paying for their applications why would they want to pay you for yours? Now try answering some of the previous questions on how you intend to work and /or police this scheme. How do you stop the, I'll try your script, like it, not pay you for it, PM all my buddies with a link to it on rapidshare brigade?

I can see no reason from what you posted, which would explain all the commands running at the same time. You should however change REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "AVG Anti-Virus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\avgsetup.exe\" /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Bootscreen" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\bootscreen.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Blocklist" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\Blocklist_revised\Domain_blocklist.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemroot%\Install\Blocklist_revised\Domain_blocklist.reg" /fto REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "AVG Anti-Virus" /f REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\avgsetup.exe\" /HIDE /DONT_START_APPS /NO_WELCOME /NO_AVGW_STARTUP /QUIT_IF_INSTALLED" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "Bootscreen" /f REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\bootscreen.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Blocklist" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemroot%\Install\Blocklist_revised\Domain_blocklist.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemroot%\Install\Blocklist_revised\Domain_blocklist.reg" /fI would also suggest, that the office 2003 install at the very beginning should be moved to the end, just before the Cleaning Up and Rebooting.

and it looks like
