>COMMENTS.TXT FINDSTR/B ; TXTSETUP.SIF <Edit> I know this is not the full answer you require. I just thought I'd see if anyone had a reasonable solution before I posted one! Later </Edit>

Do a search either here or in your favourite search engine for override.ini, the entry you need, if I remember correctly, is something like; EnableProfileMigrator=false.

Okay, as you've already been informed, you gave me an example of a key using a default value, and I converted it for you. This means that your answer is already presented before you. Now to your particular keys, the tweak you are after is actually only half a tweak, the entire tweak should look a little more like this [Version] Signature = $Windows NT$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Plus DelReg = Minus [Plus] HKLM,%SC%\*\shell\OpenAsText,,,"Open in Text &Editor" HKLM,%SC%\*\shell\OpenAsText\command,,,"%TE% ""%1""" HKLM,%SC%\*\shell\OpenAs,,,"Open &with…" HKLM,%SC%\*\shell\OpenAs\command,,,"rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1 %2" [Minus] HKLM,%SC%\Unknown\shell,, HKLM,%SC%\Unknown\shell\openas HKLM,"%SC%\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With" [Strings] SC = "SOFTWARE\Classes" TE = "notepad.exe"If you look in the strings section you can also see that it would be possible to use another registered text editor of choice! Finally for some home truths: Do not attempt to convert the examples from the Regtweaks.reg file from this site to an inf format. Not only is it more difficult than you obviously imagined, it is actually impractical when using tweaks which require entries removing in addition to adding. Despite the great amount of work which has gone into the file, it still contains some invalid, incorrect and in this case partial tweaks too. You have obviously not mastered the syntax, do not appear to have a reasonable understanding of the registry and could severely impair the usability of your OS.Even the example you gave in search of help on this latest occasion used the wrong syntax in the non-red text. I have left the answer to your question in the same colour, so as to avoid further confusion.I hope this has fully explained everything to you!

I have performed several more tests using hfslip-61202b.cmd, and can now admit to being mistaken! The dialog boxes that were blank were only when also having IE7 included. The HFSLIP folder was present though in all scenarios, it exists in my last attempt with WMP11 and IE6.

HFSLIPping IE7 with WMP10 and associated 'fixes' causes me only one problem, (runonce). That I can live with, even if HFSLIP relies on it!, (hence HFSLIP folder not removed) ECHO>>WORK\HFREGWU.TXT HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\ZZZ999","999CLN",,"CMD.EXE /C RD/Q/S ""%%SystemRoot%%\HFSLIP""" Just because I can live with it HFSLIP, is not working correctly, because all of its associated runonce and runonceex commands are not completing! HFSLIPping IE7 with WMP11 leaves, as documented here, blank windows in commonly used dialog boxes; (not just in the IE7 ones I've mentioned). It also still exhibits the runonce problem. Why do I have to get rid of IE7 when it's only major problem to me is blank windows only caused by the introduction of WMP11? I actually consider not being able to view IE security and advanced options as quite a severe breakage. Other than those already mentioned, things like the extended tab in services.msc is also blank. I use these windows and would therefore prefer them not broken! If you have fixed the WMP11 blank boxes problem, I have found no fix here yet for it, so please tell me how to do it.

Currently using hfslip-61130a.cmd: (copy of log at bottom of post) The HFSLIP folder still exists in %SYSTEMROOT%, the RUNONCE feature is not working, (regardless of what you've stated to date), the Advanced and Security sections of IE7 Options are blank and I'm sure many others things too. There appear currently to be too many problems with both IE7 and WMP11, untill they are sorted why keep adding support for other non-essential stuff. PS. Would it be possible to re-release the most up to date version of HFSLIP, prior to support for IE7 and WMP11, and create a listing of all hotfixes supported by that version too. I see no point in using a product which breaks the OS to this degree, as a base for my future computing. Lets make sure that there is at least a FINAL which creates an unbroken system, unfortunately the current final has support for IE7 too, which as you know is still not resolved. LOG.TXT

How about this for a crazy idea... Try using the fora of either Ryan or nLite!

Because that is the exact command, (barring the additional double quotes, required for inf syntax, but I'll not explain that!), that you want to run. The reg syntax is only the hex code, (plus additional 00,s required for Regedit v5, but I'll not explain that either!), for the same command. Now reading the stuff in red mmc /s...etc<Edit> If I perform the same conversion to your original hex data, your actual command was That should therefore directly be replaced by my better code. You can now therefore just copy my inf and reg examples of that key and data as needed.To help you out here is a direct correct example for your 'other' key and data. ; Adds Device Manager to right click of MY Computer HKLM,%MyComputer%\shell\DevMgr,,,"Device Manager" HKLM,%MyComputer%\shell\DevMgr\command,,0x20000,"mmc /s ""%systemroot%\system32\devmgmt.msc""" [Strings] MyComputer = "SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"</Edit>

You wouldn't create REG_EXPAND_SZ keys in that manner, you would use a far simpler and easy to read method. Here is an example of a REG file: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\image\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\ShellImagePreview] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Services\command] @=hex(2):6d,00,6d,00,63,00,20,00,2f,00,73,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,73,00,79,00,\ 73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,\ 00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,73,00,65,00,72,00,76,00,69,00,63,00,\ 65,00,73,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,63,00,22,00,00,00 here is its INF equivalent: [Version] Signature = $Windows NT$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg = Plus DelReg = Minus [Plus] HKLM,%SC%\CLSID\%MC%\shell\Services\command,,0x20000,\ "mmc /s ""%systemroot%\system32\services.msc""" [Minus] HKLM,%SC%\SystemFileAssociations\image\%CH%\ShellImagePreview [Strings] SC = "SOFTWARE\Classes" MC = "{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" CH = "ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers"Both remove a key and add one too, the key added is an English version of the data you require!

Since everyone tends to have cmdow.exe, but rarely uses any of its features, I thought I'd produce an alternative method for you! @CMDOW @ /HID &FOR /F %%? IN ('CMDOW /T /B ^|FIND /I "FIREFOX"') DO (IF ERRORLEVEL 0 (CMDOW %%? /END &&(PING -n 6 LOCALHOST &CMDOW /RUN FIREFOX)))This code should all be pasted onto a single line of your batch file. For those of you not already in posession of the cmdow utility, you can download it directly here and read more here.

Before GSM jumps in with a VBS solution, here is a hybrid batch /vbs offering. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL >"%TEMP%\_.VBS" ECHO/Wscript.Echo CreateObject("Shell.Application").Namespace(^&H1C^&).Self.Path FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%?

DEL "%TEMP%\_.VBS" ECHO/ ECHO/ Your local application data repository is: ECHO/ %LAppData% ECHO/ ENDLOCAL GOTO :EOFLines 2, 3 & 4 are the important ones!

Suggestion Try changing User Shell Folders to Shell Folders so that you are reading a REG_SZ key.

That folder already has a variable %APPDATA%! However your command looks okay, which means that, you've probably got: DELIMS=<space><space><space><space>"instead of: DELIMS=<tab>"

Suggests that DRIVER.CAB is updated with your drivers, however it doesn't say that if using D, E or F your drivers are /aren't added to SPX.CAB and utilized in a similar way. That is what I mean by unclear.It may have been better, based on the fact we're not all fluent in English, to state exactly the situation when using the D, E, or F options.

My current HFSLIP-CD didn't seem to install any of my additional drivers. When I tried to 'update driver' it looked for the correct file names, but they were not found in \WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 because they are still inside driver.cab? I used the B' merge option in my answer file. The files I need are for Audio Chipset LAN and VGA.

As of today, you could, alternatively, download the latest incarnation; Process Explorer for Windows v10.21. It is of course a whopping 3.45 MB, how will I ever fit it onto my disk?

Perhaps I beat you and it just took longer for my data to travel

Because the START command gives me the option to use /D as in "Start path for this batch file is this directory". CALL runs a batch file in the context of the calling batch file, meaning you don't have the option to modify start path which is the only important point here Well I suppose that depends how you code your batch file! example - (untested) @ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS SET "PNT=GLOBAL PRIVATE" SET "CLD=MANDATORY" IF /I "%~1" NEQ "EXCEPTION" (SET CLD=%CLD% OPTIONAL) FOR %%? IN (%PNT%) DO (CALL :SUB %%?\ %2) ENDLOCAL &GOTO :EOF :SUB FOR %%? IN (%CLD%) DO (CALL :DOIT %1%%?\ %2) GOTO :EOF :DOIT FOR /D %%? IN (%1*) DO (IF EXIST "%%?\INSTALL.CMD" ( PUSHD %%? &&CALL INSTALL %2 &&POPD)) GOTO :EOF

Why use the START command, the CALL command should return to the originating batch only upon completion.

I have made some changes to the STORAGE DRIVERS section of the HFSLIP file in order to rid myself of the error I was getting. Basically what I am doing is putting the emphasis on having correct storage*.ini(s). The procedure parses the ini file(s) and only puts existing files mentioned under its [sCSI] section under the [sCSI.Load] section of TXTSETUP.SIF. Here is the code: REM ======================STORAGE DRIVERS================================================= :HFSTOR TITLE %T1% - Processing Storage Drivers :: THANKS TO OLEG II FOR ANOTHER GREAT IDEA >HFSTOR.TXT DIR/B HFEXPERT\STORAGE >HFSTORI.TXT DIR/B HFEXPERT\STORAGE\STORAGE*.INI FOR /F %%I IN ('FINDSTR/VG:HFSTORI.TXT HFSTOR.TXT') DO ( MAKECAB /D CompressionMemory=%COMPMEM% /D CompressionType=LZX HFEXPERT\STORAGE\%%I /L SOURCESS\I386 >NUL >>SOURCESS\I386\DOSNET.INF ECHO/d1,%%I IF /I "%%~xI"==".SYS" ( >>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF ECHO/%%I = 1,,,,,,3_,4,1,,,1,4) ELSE ( IF /I "%%~xI"==".INF" ( >>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF ECHO/%%I = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0,,1,20) ELSE ( >>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF ECHO/%%I = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0,,1,2))) >>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF (ECHO/&ECHO/[SCSI.Load]) FOR /F %%I IN (HFSTORI.TXT) DO (CALL :DOINIS %%I) FOR /F %%I IN (HFSTORI.TXT) DO (>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF (ECHO/&TYPE HFEXPERT\STORAGE\%%I&ECHO/)) ECHO/>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF DEL/Q/F HFSTOR*.TXT GOTO EOF :DOINIS FOR /F "EOL=[ DELIMS== " %%I IN ('FIND /V "\" ^<HFEXPERT\STORAGE\%1') DO ( IF EXIST HFEXPERT\STORAGE\%%I.SYS (>>SOURCESS\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF ECHO/%%I = %%I.SYS,4)) GOTO EOF REM ======================================================================================One last thing you may notice from it, is that you can have multiple ini files in your \STORAGE directory. (if you find it easier to manage that way) e.g. storage_ibm.ini storage_adaptec.ini storage_intel.ini storage_sii.ini storage_jmicron.ini I have as yet been unable to test the results of this on my particular machines, it does get rid of the error and allows a full install in my virtual machine. Hope it helps a little!

Using 'the new final' and making a couple of small changes myself, the installation now continues without error, and has automatic updates etc.Therefore problem solved! One of the changes I made was a continuation from my last suggestion ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INF [SourceDisksNames]&ECHO>>ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INF 1="PFILES DIR","%CDTAG%",,"I386\PFILES"&ECHO/>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INFnow says ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INF [SourceDisksNames]&ECHO>>ECHO>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INF 1="PFILES DIR","%CDTAG%",,"\I386\PFILES"&ECHO/>>SOURCESS\I386\HFSLIPPF.INFThe other changes, (other than my usual complete re-write of :HFEYzowl) were purely cosmetic. Usual thanks etc.

The quotes for the tag and path don't matter, it was the leading backslash\ to which I was inferring.

HFSLIPWU is still used as you said because I am integrating the codecs etc.Incidentally nullifying the HFSLIPWU.INF does remove my error problem, but solves nothing! No-one said it was the cause of my problem, it is incorrect, but if you wish to leave it in please do so! Well using that as your example the syntax is still incorrect. It should be1="Windows CD",WIN51,,\I386not 1="Windows CD","WIN51",,"I386"
