Just use the line I gave earlier i.e. replace @ with ""

okay I'll start Whats Interim Release Mean? Is it an International Instant Messenger Release as opposed to a Localized Language Instant Mesenger Release

As stated above.. You suggest that you are dum <=(dumb) You suggest that you have little computer knowledge Your Administrator has created a policy to prevent dumb people with little computer knowledge from downloading stuff at someone elses cost and possibly screwing up someone elses system. And you think that you should be allowed a way around it 'without going through them first' ..

try this: [Unattended] ProgramFilesDir=\apps CommonProgramFilesDir=\apps\_common [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir=\home Also I get the impression you are wanting only the above in your winnt.sif file, you can try it but I have a feeling that Windows may require a fuller file!

Deleting Registry Values from the Run section of your Win XP registry without opening the Registry Editor Go to Start => Run and type the following before clicking OK REGEDIT /E %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\run.reg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" The code above should all be on one line with a space like this! run.reg "HKEY_ Right Click the new run.reg file on your desktop and edit it as necessary. (see below) To delete a registry value, delete everything after the = in the required key and replace it with a - For example, to delete the RoxioEngineUtility registry value from the run registry key, (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run), put a hyphen after the "RoxioEngineUtility"= in the .reg file. i.e [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "RoxioEngineUtility"=- When you have made your changes to the file, save it and close. Now Double Click the saved run.reg file on your desktop and agree to the merge. You will not notice the changes until you restart your PC.

It's not broken, therefore a fix is not required....It just happens after you have installed Service Pack 2.

Yes! Since this disk has been slipstramed with both service packs to date, you could probably delete the *.SP1 file shown. Also, I suppose you could also go into I386 folder and delete sp1.cab and sp1.cat too!

Just press the winkey + L on your keyboard, it'll lock your computer immediately, without closing anything.

@BlueFlame First of all you only need to Edit the User Shell Folders keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Secondly, If you edit the now necessary three keys, by hand in the Registry Editor, then export them to a reg file you will find that they are not string values, (REG_SZ), anyhow, which is where your problem lies! Because the keys are of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, I would plump for a good old inf; Copy the following into a new notepad file and save it as redirect.inf: ;redirect.inf [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Reg.Settings [Reg.Settings] HKCU,%PATH%,Personal,0x20000,"%PERSONAL%" HKCU,%PATH%,My Pictures,0x20000,"%PICTURES%" HKCU,%PATH%,My Music,0x20000,"%MUSIC%" [Strings] ;Non-Editable Strings PATH="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" ;Editable strings PERSONAL = "D:\%USERNAME%\Mijn Documenten" PICTURES = "D:\%USERNAME%\Mijn Documenten\Mijn afbeeldingen" MUSIC = "D:\%USERNAME%\Mijn Documenten\Mijn muziek" Edit the three string values at the end of this file to suit your setup, then apply it by putting it in your $OEM$ folder and calling it from Cmdlines.txt by adding the following below [Commands]: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\redirect.inf" I hope that answers your questions! [EDIT] If you want to test it first, just right click on redirect.inf and choose install, then Reboot your computer for it to take effect. [/EDIT]

Windows 2000 (with the Resource Kit installed) and Windows XP (natively)

Go to Start => Run and type the following before clicking OK REG ADD "HKCR\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To" /v "" /d "{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}" /f It should of course all be on one line

My mistake, it may be in the Windows 98 Resource Kit [EDIT]Why not try an inf instead: [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Reg.Settings [Reg.Settings] HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100",,0,"Dot NET Framework v1.1" HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100","1",0,"%10%\Install\netfx.msi /QB"[/EDIT] Also are you sure that the install directory is in C:\Windows and not just C:, for C: you would use %11% instead of %10%

What about just adding two lines like this to your batch file: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100 /v 1 /d "%windir%\Install\netfx.msi /QB" /f reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100 /v "" /d "Dot NET Framework v1.1" /f

I would change the positions to the following: C: FAT32 drive + SWAP/pagefile, temp, no-need-keep files - 3GB D: Windows(Wi) ??? E: Doc and Settings(D&S), Program Files(PF), F: More-frequently altered personal data (eg desktop, documents, texts, notes in My Documents) - 20GB G: Download Buffer Zone - 5GB H: Less-frequently altered personal data (eg programs, movies, films) - the rest of free space Ensure that the C: drive is using a cluster size of 4K, (I think that this is the default size in NTFS and in FAT 32 partitions smaller than 8GB, just check if you are using a 3rd party partitioning tool). 4K is the size of the page the processor uses in RAM this way transfers may be made direct from file to RAM without intermediate buffering.

When you've figured out how to identify each licence (<= Note correct spelling) type, dont forget to remove access to all cd floppy usb etc. on every pc!

An inf would be easier to understand, and could then be added seperately, to prevent forgetting to search and change in your reg file for each PC the disk is used in. ;pagefile.inf [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Reg.Settings DelReg=Del.Settings [Reg.Settings] ;Set pagefile size to fixed size (1.5 x System RAM) ;remove the semi-colon from the option you are using ; or ;remove all non-required comments and adjust to suit ;for 1Gb RAM ;HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management,PagingFiles,0x10000,"%24%\pagefile.sys 1536 1536" ;for 512Mb RAM ;HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management,PagingFiles,0x10000,"%24%\pagefile.sys 768 768" [EDIT] The paging file should always be kept on the root directory of your system disk (%SystemDrive%)[/EDIT]

Try this! rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL appwiz.cpl

I don't think you can change the boot or system drive letter in the following manner, but here goes for a try. Right Click on My Computer, select Manage, click on Disk Management in the left hand pane. Right-click the drive or device you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths. Click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the drive letter you want to assign, and then click OK.

Add this reg file instead, call it binback.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\NonEnum] "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}] @="Recycle Bin"

The first two lines of the code given, key ending NewStartPanel is for people not using the classic start menu, the other two line of code are for those who are. If you wish you can delete the two lines you don't require, although it will do no harm

If you really do have two Operating systems, you can do the following: Try booting with your XP CD, then going into the Recovery Console, at the Dos command prompt type, bootcfg /list, this will show you the boot file, then type bootcfg /rebuild. You should receive a message similar to Total Identified Windows installs: 2 [1] C:\FirstOS Add to installation list? (Yes/No/All) Type Y A message comes up 'enter load indentifier' (this is the name of the operating system) so type FirstOS and press enter Then you're prompted for 'Enter OS Load Options' Type /fastdetect and press enter Do the same when prompted for the SecondOS Type exit then press enter to leave the recovery console. Your computer should restart and then you should be prompted with 'Please select the operating system to start message' Obviously adjust FirstOS and SecondOS to suit your actual ones.
