just call me a smrt rse

@gunsmokingman The ones I gave you are the only settings in your section of your posted file which need to be in there, all the other ones you gave are automatically set to your requirements by default in Windows XP. Read the [Components] section of unattend.txt in ref.chm for confirmation of the above. PS Also please notice my edit in my previous post.

@Caycep Make sure your regtweaks.reg is named that and not regtweks.reg as it is in your posting @rdalling You don't need to call cmdlines.txt @gunsmokingman Why not change your [Components] section to: [Components] Dialer=Off Freecell=Off Hearts=Off Licenseserver=Off Media_utopia=On msmsgs=Off Msnexplr=Off Pinball=Off Rstorage=On zonegames=Off[EDIT]Okay I just read your reply in this post for your reason, although filling a file containing errors with further text, all of which is set as default anyhow should not have fixed it[/EDIT]

Have you tried disabling it directly in the registry? If not you could use the following, save as SR.inf , right click it and select install, then reboot. the pc. [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Reg.Settings [Reg.Settings] ; Sets System Restore Service to Disabled HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\srservice,Start,0x10001,0x04

A good idea if you intend adding to the SendTo menu often is to put a shortcut to SendTo in the SendTo folder, then when you right click a folder /location you can SendTo SendTo....

I'll check and let you know in a few months

I've found this very useful to me in the past, hope it is to others too! ;Right click on directory to write full directory listing file [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\print\command] @="cmd.exe /c dir /s > Dirlist.txt"

I wish I was...... or better still 'The Wife'!

well at least it's tidier.... i.e On my next birthday i will be 0025 years old On my next birthday i will be 25 years old

Too lazy! It doesn't take a second in Registry Editor to use the drop down arrow in Save as type: to Win9x/NT4 Registration Files (*.reg), to save your exports as ANSI instead of Unicode. The only noticeable difference will be that it'll start with REGEDIT4 instead of Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Thanks kwpro for answering the questions! I'm sure your work will be well used and appreciated. You may notice from reading through the forums here that a lot of people are looking for methods as much as solutions, which also accounts for my questions. The other concerns raised were due to the size of the download, since prathapml's method was so much smaller and although didn't contain the MozBackup app, did include other things. Some would like to be able to attempt it themselves and therefore possibly recreate the installation method after an upgrade of any of the apps, at a later date.

Is it just an sfx.exe a compiled script etc. Can it be split so as not to install all 3 programs. (are seperate versions available) Is there any source code available or will it ever be. Are any additional settings, extensions, addons /plugins included. Does it install to a specific location or are options available. Is there anything which may be required by your installer, which may have been removed elsewhere in my unattended setup. etc.

Any chance of a little bit more information etc., I dont fancy downloading such a large file without knowing much about it. (14.6 meg sounds more like included progs, rather than an installer.)

A few ideas, The desktop.ini is related to using Active Desktop, therefore you could either: 1. Disable Active Desktop. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoActiveDesktop"=dword:00000001Add this to one of your reg files. 2. Keep Active Desktop and refresh the screen, thus overwriting the desktop.ini file. rundll32 user,repaintscreenAdd this to a batch at logon Just change the ini file attributes: 3. The hidden /system attributes can be directly reapplied to the desktop.ini file. @echo off cd /D %HOMEDRIVE%\ attrib +S +H Desktop.ini /S exitAdd this batch at logon

What about just creating a shortcut with the parameters /switches, put that on the cd along with your html and launch it instead of the exe?

have you tried it with something like <a href="file:///drive letter:/Path/setup.exe...........">Descriptive title</a>

The 128 mode is to prevent the PC performing a possible reboot without informing you first. Mode 132 can also be used to do the same thing although there is a slight difference. As a rule of thumb, use 128 mode when running the inf from a batch /cmdlines.txt and the inf is also in the same directory. Use 132 in all cases where you will need to provide the full path to the inf since it is not in the same directory as the command calling it. i.e rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %systemdrive%\install\settings.inf rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\settings.inf Microsoft recommend using the full path to your inf in the Rundll..... command. [EDIT] In the example given by MCT, I would suggest using mode 132 instead of mode 128[/EDIT]

To the best of my knowledge it's just an msi; try using msi and RunOnceEx in your search or look at any other RunOnceEx.cmd with an msi application and change the msi name to suit.

You can add these to do the first part also [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Reg.Settings [Reg.Settings] ;Show Detailed Information in Device Manager HKLM,%Control%\Session Manager\Environment,DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS,0,"1" ;Show All Hidden Devices in Device Manager HKLM,%Control%\Session Manager\Environment,DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES,0,"1" [Strings] Control="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control"

If it runs from the inf, and only the twelve files are mentioned there, what is calling the other twenty eight files?

Thanks for the confirmation, unfortunately the tool I tested works, but it doesn't obviously do a thorough enough job. It only checks the [sourceDisksFiles] section of the inf and copies out the files in that section. Looking through the both infs, I have verified that these are the only files mentioned NV4_DISP.CAT nv4_disp.dll nv4_mini.sys nvcod.dll nvcpl.dll nvcpl.hlp nvmctray.dll nvnt4cpl.dll nvoglnt.dll nvsvc32.exe nvwcplen.hlp nvwddi.dllWhere is the tool going wrong?

I've just tried OCedHrt's inf.exe tool on the 66.93 folder and only get 13 (14 if I add the other inf) files in the folder. This only comes to 9.11 MB (9,560,471 bytes), does anyone know if the list is complete for install or not. NV4_DISP.CAT nv4_disp.dl_ nv4_disp.inf nv4_mini.sy_ nv4disp2.inf nvcod.dl_ nvcpl.dl_ nvcpl.hl_ nvmctray.dl_ nvnt4cpl.dl_ nvoglnt.dl_ nvsvc32.ex_ nvwcplen.hl_ nvwddi.dl_ The reason I ask is because unfortunately, this was the only driver folder I had, upon which the tool worked, but it is less than half the original size.

Just call it a wild shot in the dark, but i think he's hoping for the latter
