Ok, Ive got a problem here... I just finally finished getting all of my extensions, themes, settings, bookmarks, etc exactly the way I wanted only to realize that every time I was re-opening firefox I wasnt using the "-profile defaults\profile" parameters after, so I still have nearly nothing setup under the default profile... 1st question is, is there anyway I can use my existing firefox setup for the profile method asta covers? or perhaps make my existing profile the default somehow? 2nd question, if I cant do the above (which will really suck cause I just spent a ton of time getting everything perfect), what is the best way to do this? Do I need to launch firefox with that parameter every time i start it to make more changes? When I do launch ff with that parameter, is it over-writing the default profile as I make changes? Thanks again guys.

check to make sure you dont have web desktop enabled, that will cause the icon transparency not to work

WPI may be the way to go... it allows you to load a bunch of apps onto your uA cd, then choose which are actually installed after the os portion completes... check out the wpi thread for more info

eMule uses InnoSetup as the installer package.. you can tell this by looking at the properties of the exe. the following parameters apply to all innosetup packages... setup.exe /DIR=\"C:\Internet\eMule Plus\" /VERYSILENT /SP-

Cmon Asta.. Im nearly finished my master uA cd and you gotta toss this cool thing in my face... Youre killin me!

holy s***! why the HELL didnt someone tell me about this before! sooo much time wouldve been saved using this... thx a TON simon.

Ill try to give it a go in the next day or 2 and post back... thx!

Apologies ahead of time if this has already been covered, but I dont feel like pawing through 25 pages of this thread... I just want to make sure my assumption is correct... If I use astalavistas method of saving and restoring the profile, then theres no need to run the "extension installer" that cycles through your XPI/JAR folder, so long as we already installed them prior to creating our 'profile.exe', correct? Thanks again guys. Awesome write up.

Quick question.. to use the "XSkinsetting", does the skin need to be in the same directory as the msi or already placed in the winamp skin directory? Also, do you set it to the skin filename or the name of the skin? Thanks.

Hrm.. I use outlook 2003 and didnt see anything in my Address Book... figured they both use the same methods for storing contacts... guess not.

You know of a way to 'import' the pst back into outlook unattended?

is runonceex launching it directly from your cdrom or has it already been copied to your hard drive?

Well... it actually doesnt need to be in sys32 at all.. its simply recommended to place it there cause its in your path and can be executed from anywhere without including the location its in.... you could simply keep cmdow on your uA cd, use the cdrom line to detect what drive your cd is on, then simply run %CDROM%\<path to cmdow>\cmdow @ /HID

Ive had issues with using vbscript during the runonceex stage... the cause of this, from what I understand, is that certain "components" of windows that are needed for vbscripts to run, still havent been loaded at the very beginning of the runonceex process... Ive found that if you give the system roughly 30-45 seconds before trying to run your vbscript it runs without issue. oh.. and dont use the sleep cmd or anything in a vbscript.. use a batch file or the sleep.exe on the unattended download section

I havent gotten a chance to try it out myself, but Ive seen many other people (including RyanVM's page) refer to this tool... http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psshutdown.shtml Let the rest of us know how it is!

I dont believe thats what outlook uses.. thats windows address book that you can find under accessories start menu. Take a peek at it.. Id be willing to bet theres nothing in it.

Yea.. I'll admit, I took the lazy route this time and didnt hit the trusty search button... thanks again guys! btw... Im very familar with changing drives via comp mgmt... I was looking for a cmd like the posts mdes and yzowl referred to.

Absolutely.

this is for a fixed swap file of 700 mb on D: , you can change it as you want. NB : If you want the os to decide of the size type "(drive letter):\pagefile.sys 0 0" then follow gosh's guide to load it... Using this code, if you were to omit the DelReg Section, you would end up with a pagefile on C: and one on D: ! This is because you have used a REG_ADDREG_APPEND data type which does not remove the current setting, it appends the new setting to it. Therefore if XP defaults to C:\pagefile.sys at 1.5x RAM, then you would have that plus an additional 700 meg pagefile at D:\pagefile.sys Thx Yzowl.. Ill give that a shot.

Yea... what he (^^^) said....

Hrm... I dont recal seeing that as his post before.... anyway that leads me to my next question then I guess. Whats the cmd to change drive letters? Thanks again guys.

That file size is fine... its the exact same size as mine... I got my msi at the same place you did. It gets created there and in the temp place that totoymola mentioned.. theyre both the exact same file. saitoh... goto that link i posted above and just use the cmd I posted... Ive tested it numerous time and its fine.

Whats the easiest way people are exporting their outlook2003 accounts, mail and contacts and then importing back in again unattended style...

Anyone even know what install package RegSnap uses? I cant find it anywhere....

Im not sure I stated my question correctly.. If I reformat, will all of my drive letters stay the same after I re-install Windows? Thanks!
