Check out Simonsays UA firefox install thread... on his 1st post hes got the code you can toss in a batch file to make FF your default... works like a charm

Hrm.. nothing like broken german links...

Oh that buttons tight.

Love Ninjai as well.. hate it theyve been taking so long to release new chapters lately though... loved it when it was once a month. Havent watched the earlier ones enough recently to pick my best but Id have to say the latest is def one of the more twisted... when whats his face eats is own eye? ha! messed up.

And no.. its not about activation... 1. Does anyone have a list of the things you can 'safely' remove from the source? I tried going by the mazins 2004 thread, but I keep getting an error message after NAV scans. 2. Has anyone figured out how to install this to a different location from the default? Thanks!

Yea... I do something similiar with a batch file. If %computername%==DUREXBOX GOTO DUREX If %computername%==SHUTTLEBOX GOTO SHUTTLE GOTO _SETUP :DUREX XCOPY /E /H /R /I /Y "%systemdrive%\NAV2005\durexbox\*" "%programfiles%" GOTO _SETUP :SHUTTLE XCOPY /E /H /R /I /Y "%systemdrive%\NAV2005\shuttlebox\*" "%programfiles%" GOTO _SETUP

The easy way I got around it... Goto the Unattended downloads page and grab 1395ChangeVid.exe and place it some where on your UA CD... Then in your RunOnceEx simply run this program with the parameters needed for the resolution you want.. 2 caveats to using this with VMWare: 1. You must use a Refresh Rate of 1. 2. It cant be one of the very 1st things on your RunOnce list or else it wont work for some reason.. I have this launch after a couple programs install My ROE code... REM :: Change Resolution :: REG ADD %KEY%\100 /VE /D "Change Resolution" /f REG ADD %KEY%\100 /V 1 /D "VidChng.exe \"1024x768x32@1 -q\"" /f The only other way around this is to do what MCT said and install the VMWare drivers... I actually have my RunOnceEx install the VMWare tool kit automatically so it takes care of this as well...

Nope.. just an old school, hacked up cgi script.

There up as long as my site up and running... which is at least another 8-9 months before I have to renew. Im not messing around with accounts and dont plan on making any changes to this, sorry... Nope. Ive got no need for it. Ive got more than enough space.. and if it ever starts to become an issue, Ill start deleting oldest images 1st... again, Ive had this up for about 3 years now. I dont plan on doing any maintenance on this.. so if you dont want an image on there.. dont post it Give it a shot and see . It simply adds a number to it.. if it already as a number, it increments it.. the link will be updated accordingly. Yea.. I realize this.. and it was once a plan of mine to do so.. but as you can see the sites been pretty neglected and I dont have a whole lot of time to invest in it anymore For the main reason I posted it to begin with.. I use it so I can include screenshots in my howtos or images of error messages.. it can be used for whatever you want! Which is why I thought it to be more appropriate for the 'General' section.

You're correct, and normally if DISKPART comes across a drive thats already assigned, it doesnt complete the script and none of your other drives are assigned. Thats what the 'noerr' parameter is for.. if it encounters a drive thats already assigned, it will leave it and move on to the next one. You can get around this one pretty easy as well. Toss it on any one of your hard-drives and make a little modification to the script to find it. ie: CMDOW @ /HID @echo off for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\DDrive set DRIVE=%%a: CD /D %DRIVE%\Custom\System DISKPART /s drives.txt EXIT This assumes that you have a file called 'DDrive' in the root of the drive which holds the folder 'Custom\System' and 'drives.txt' is inside of this folder. Obviously you cant change the names of any of these folders or files, so long as you make the change in the batch file. Besides, I dont know about you, but I dont add/remove drives or have any need for that matter to assign different drive letters on a regular basis. Thanks for the feedback! Hope this helps others who have thought about these issue as well.

After years of posting in various forums, I always found it annoying that I had to find a place to put my images so that other could view them.. So a few years back I started putting together a 'Tech Site' and as part of it added a image hosting section... Ive since taken down the Tech site, but left the image hosting due to its popularity... Feel free to take advantage of it everyone... http://www.dynamic-innovations.net or http://www.d-i.net for you lazy folk. I get enough help here that I figured it would be the least I could do. Admins, feel free to sticky if youd like as well...

No offense to mdes, but that script was a bit confusing to myself as well.. so I used a combination of his method and another I found on here and come up with this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=ST&f=70&t=38739&st= Hope it helps!

One of the little nuiances you may have experienced after reformatting and using your brand new UA CD is that Windows re-assigns your drive letters if you have multiple drives that have been re-assigned previously. Ive seen a few people ask around lately about how to accomplish this and spent some time looking around myself, until I combined a couple methods to get this working pretty seemlessly and more importantly... easily. Now first off, lets give credit where credits due, the method Im about to outline is in no way my own, but a combination of a couple methods; the first by mdes who has a pretty nifty script which does this and then some as well as baliktad, which as youll see is where I got most of the process for this. This is in no way intended to trash on their methods, they simply seemed a bit complex to me and I figured it may to others as well... So, that said, lets get started... The Problem As you see here, I have a few drives, one split into a couple partitions, as well as a couple cd-rom drives. As you can see, my drive letter configuration is obviously not the default... Now after a reformat and reinstall of Windows XP, my drive letters are reassigned to the following: C: stays C: D: stays D: P: becomes E: E: becomes F: I: becomes G: J: becomes H: As you can see, Windows simply assigns the letters in order from 1st logical drive, 1st Partition, all the way down to last drive, last partition and then finally the CD-ROM Drives in order of master to slave. The Solution To accomplish what want to do, we're going to use a nifty little Windows tool called DISKPART. 1. Configure you disks how you want them, like I did above using Computer Management. (Reboot) 2. Open a Command Prompt and type 'diskpart' 3. At the 'DISKPART>' prompt, type 'list volume'. This will list the follow information in regards to all of your drives. 4. Write down each of your drive letters and their corrisponding Volume ###. (IE: My 'C' drive is 'Volume 2'). These volume numbers for each of your drive/partitions do not change after a reformat, so since we know this is how we want our configuration to be after the install, we can use these volume numbers to reference during the re-assigning process. 5. Create a text file with the commands DISKPART uses to reassign drive letters. The following is an example of my text file: select volume 0 assign letter=I noerr select volume 1 assign letter=J noerr select volume 4 assign letter=P noerr select volume 3 assign letter=D noerr select volume 5 assign letter=E noerr Obviously, replace the volume number and drive letter with the corrisponding values you wrote down in step 4. (Note: the indents on the 'assign' line is for aesthetics only, its not required you indent any lines) Save the file, you can call it whatever you want. 6. Now we use the following to apply these changes. DISKPART /s scriptfile.txt As far as implementation goes, I recommend creating a batch file that CD's to the path where you scriptfile.txt resides then runs this command. The following is an example of the batch file I use: CMDOW @ /HID @echo off for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%a:\WIN51 set CDROM=%%a: CD /D %CDROM%\Custom\System DISKPART /s drives.txt LABEL C: System EXIT As you can see, this batch file changes directories to my CDROM\Custom\System folder, which is where my scriptfile (called drives.txt in this example) resides. Ive played around with this alot and got the best results when placing this in my cmdlines.txt as the 1st thing to run. One last little useful tidbit.. as you probably noticed, there was an additional line in my batch file: "LABEL C: System". The LABEL command is a very simple way to label your drives. In case its not obvious to you, the syntax is LABEL <driveletter:> <DriveLabel> Well, that pretty much covers it. A couple other notes... I havent tested this with removable drives plugged in, so I would recommend removing them during your install. Also, keep in mind that your DISKPART values will most likely change if you add/remove disks and/or partitions. Anyway, again, hope nobody feels as though Im stepping on anyones toes. Like the saying goes, theres more than one way to skin a cat.. heres the method that was the least confusing to me. Hope this helps and feel free to post any questions / comments!

Simon just did... you need to use reg tweaks to do it.. check out the comments of the code he posted.. copy and paste to a reg file and make the necessary changes (show or hide). The 4th line for each of the reg keys is for IE and his code has it hidden.

^^ which is what I do....

Thanks Simon.. guess I missed that part... follow up.. what does the admin shortcut do? (firefox.exe /p ??)

post your files that you used with the "net user" method...

Hrm... It didnt create a printer...

Thx as always Yzowl

Thanks... these 2 things were exactly what I was looking for...

Trying to figure out an automated way (using batch/vbs) to clear IE's history... Ive tried "del "C:\Documents and Settings\tgraffam\Local Settings\History\*" but got an error saying it cant find it... Also, does anyone happen to know if this also clears out what IE saves in fields (ie Search engine input fields) as well? If not.. what needs to be done to clear this out as well? Thanks!!
