As for creating your own user.js please visit: http://www.tweakfactor.com/articles/tweaks...foxtweak/4.html Also I know that Firefox 2.0 is being worked upon I read a article on one of the developers. Was a coding wizz kid from a very young age

My RunonceEx REG ADD %KEY%\065 /VE /D "Direct Connect 0.688" /f REG ADD %KEY%\065 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\directcon\DCPlusPlus.exe /S" /f @EliasXP, download the tool it was very handy for me http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=17940

You need to include the quotes correctly, thats why it looks fro C:\Programs My code which works: REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "MicroSoft AntiSpyware Beta 1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Msanti\MsAnti.exe /s" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\Msanti\MicrosoftAntiSpyware.msi /qb-! REBOOT=ReallySuppress" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 3 /D "\"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft AntiSpyware\gcasDtServ.exe\" /regserver" /f The .exe is a self extracting archieve.

DSL tweak, in your default profile folder put a file called, user.js and reuopdate your self extracting profile. Or What I do is install the chrome extension (brillant extension imo) and add it to the user.js tab thier, then update your user profile.

Sounds like your OS is borked, i had this too after a window update quite along time ago. Try using recovery console on the operating system.

That would be good , either use VMware or Virtual PC 2004, its basically a pc on your computer. Make sure you install the Vmware tools from vmware or the tools for Virtual PC (cant remember name) but its easily found. this allows you to copy files from real pc to virtual PC.

I would not recomend doing it that way because the keys will be of the default settings, and the settings to do the opposite to the default may not be opposite in the registry. I would most likely say that they are dword keys but say if it was a complex hex key then it would be hard to work out. What we are basically saying is to be fail safe and get no errors do things properly. I cant see why you havent done this already frm my first post, you could have done this by now I know it can be a pain and can dirty your system by installing/uninstalling but it has to be done. A better thought: if you have vmware or VirtualPC, use your unattended windows disk and install msn as default. With Vmware and Virtual PC is a tool you install which allows you to copy files from host to guest (VMmachine) operating system. So now you have vmware with msn at default, copy of the regsnap installer and install, take one snap, make changes to msn and take another. This way you wont dirty up your proper OS.

hehe, no problem im not critisising so no need to say sorry but i thought if i pointed that out you would have a easier time in the future

Please read the unattended guide more carefully, information about the installers can be found: NSIS http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/applications/nsis.htm

You dont have to reinstall! Change the options back to default manually as near as you can remember, then take the snap shot, and redo the settings to how you want and take another snapshot.

Well, no the installer will contain the information to enter into the registry. So the only other way is to directy modify the msi i think. MSN Messenger is very limited to options with a normal install, its just a lisence agreement and you cant even changed the location it installs to within the GUI. Other programs like DC++ use files aswell as reg entries, DC++ uses a XML doc to store info that i have entered: like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <Language Name="Example Language" Author="arnetheduck" Version="0.668" Revision="1"> <Strings> <String Name="Active">Active</String> <String Name="ActiveSearchString">Enabled / Search String</String> <String Name="Add">&Add</String> <String Name="AddToFavorites">Add To Favorites</String> <String Name="Added">Added</String> <String Name="AddressAlreadyInUse">Address already in use</String> <String Name="AddressNotAvailable">Address not available</String> <String Name="AdlSearch">Automatic Directory Listing Search</String> <String Name="AdlsDestination">Destination Directory</String> <String Name="AdlsDiscard">Discard</String> <String Name="AdlsDownload">Download Matches</String> <String Name="AdlsEnabled">Enabled</String> <String Name="AdlsFullPath">Full Path</String> <String Name="AdlsProperties">ADLSearch Properties</String> Some silent installs which have switches (like Java) jre5.msi /QB-! ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1 REBOOT=Suppress and INI files (like winamp) can let you customise installs but msn installer is very simple. so it depends on the installer.

Well I performed a search on PDCMD but didnt get anything even when searching any date. Just a heads up to Perfect Disk users, on how to use PDCMD intoe with batch files to automate you defraging tasks. I know Disk Keeper has been mentioned on here before, and I appologise if PD has been mentioned too, but im keen to give back to msfn what ive taken because i have today formated using my first unattended disk and everything has gone fine and I still need to add mainly some settings, so thanks to everyone here Anyhow: /ONLINE [/WAIT] <DriveLetters> [\\Computer Name] /OFFLINE [/WAIT] <DriveLetters> [file type flags] [\\Computer Name] /SCHEDBOOT <DriveLetters:> [file type flags] [\\Computer Name] /STOP <DriveLetters> [Computer Name] /STATUS [Computer Name] I used this succesfully in my UA CD with my cleanup.cmd: cmdow @ /HID "%Programfiles%/Raxco/PerfectDisk/PDcmd.exe" /SCHEDBOOT /Alldrives /all shutdown -r -f -t 100 -c "After installation of programs, setup is using an offline defragment to optimise the windows installation" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr" DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk" DEL "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Adobe Reader 7.0.lnk" DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\Adobe Reader 7.0.lnk" RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\drivers\ RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install\ EXIT After the reboot a offline defrag is done , this was version 5 im using so the newer versions might have changed but it should be in the help files somewhere. Hope this helps a few people

Cant be, all i know is the installer has 2 files, one is the msi and the bootstrap one which i would be pretty much confident doesnt contain settings. I dont think a file is the answer too being as no kind of file suitable for containing settings is in the msn program files folder. just dll's and wav files. You dont have to reinstall msn, just put all the settings you have now to default (or as near default as you can remember) then take then regsnap and make the changes you want again and take another. It wont take long

hes out getting hammered , but happy birthday and although i dont use your driver packs i know your a tremendous contributor to MSFN and thanks for being so

Make sure boot strap is in the same directory too. Im not sure, i would place a bet on it storing settings in the registry, so go download regSnap and take a regsnap of msn with default settings, then change the settings to what you want and take another regsnap, compare the two using regsnaps compare option and it will point out the reg keys changed, put these keys into a .reg file and execute the reg file after msn has installed. It might change files to hold the settings but Regsnap can tell you which files it modifies, so just copy them over after the install.

Cool, ill tell ya what i think once i have guessed the link

Hi, Im about to reformat using my Windows Unattended CD but I need to format s few drives first, but I need to format these drives offline. I have a boot disk but it says its from windows 98, but ive used this disk on VMware station before to format the virtual disks with success. Problem is, when coming to format my real disks, Format E: command says that no such disks exist (words to that extent). The disks are all Sata on Si114r ports would this be making the difference? I think it would be better if i got a windows XP boot disk with Fdisk preferable on aswell, but where can I get one from?

Sorry about the double post, it said that the operation timed out when contacting MSFN, so could a kind mod delete the other one please, very sorry.

ill stick to my next upgrade at least i will still have a mobo from the best MFG

Sorry my post states i did things the other way but i did infact try device manager first, then tried add/remove programes. The only reason i dont update is i like to run driver cleaner after uninstalling drivers but this isnt too much of a problem because like you said you can update via device manager without uninstalling the old ones first.

Yes but also at the same time, if i knew about the tool i posted about when i firat joined msfn, 99% of my installers could have been done by myself with the exeception of firefox, nero and perfect disk 5 which you helped me with

Well it is good to see the performance increases when new hardware comes out, ive used it a few times but just to compare with others who have the same spec to see that everything is running 100% ok, but i aint someone who trys to keep bumping it up to gloat.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=17940 use the 2 files in this post on the cdhex installer, it will try and tell you the switches

Noooo, dont go - you already left me from PsB I need your scripts regardless of use

ok thanks, but i think i got another problem the 71.50s had some temp reading error so i decided to go back to 66.93, instead of using the EXE i decided to test out the compressed ones using your tool, install went fine but since then people have recomended 71.20's so I have tried to uninstall the 66.93's but if i try device manager uninstall it says "Error: failed to uninstall the device, the system may need it to boot" And if i try via add/remove programes it says "It appears the nvidea drivers have already been uninstalled, remove from the list?" but i have nforce drivers which come under that catagory so in no circumstances unless i removed all chipset drivers too should this happen. Thoughts?
