See I wasn't sure if it was worth SP3 and hot fixes since I figured it'd just be upgrades for stuff I don't need Drivers I'm going to add later but good catch I should have mentioned that WMP is a very good point I'll re-add that

I've built a computer to use for a media center/entertainment system now I'm trying to customize Windows XP and take out all the extra features and components that I don't need for this so it'll work faster. the only things I want it to be able to do are:- -Connect to websites like YouTube to watch videos -Play video files (with added codec packs) -Play audio files -Update an iPod (not necessarily through iTunes) -Download files p2p -Convert audio files -Run AutoIT -VGA Video Out (though I think thats more of a hardware but I don't know if there's something built into windows that contributes to this) I have been working on a windows shell in auto it to run ontop of windows as a media center type shell. basic menus with pictures is all that required for that I've included my Last_Session.ini and Last_Session_U.ini as attachments and was hoping anyone knew of other features I could take out while keeping compatibility with the features above (or if I took something out that might prevent one) Please and thank you Last_Session.ini Last_Session_u.ini

I was wondering if anybody managed to do this yet I know that the DriverPacks uses AutoIt to create the progress bar but when I tried using auto it to create a GUI nothing showed up, does anyone know if theres a trick to getting this to work?

Does anybody know how to silently install Norton 360?

I was having trouble installing FireFox with my own extensions and themes silently so I created a script that makes it much easier for me to manage. the best part is you never have to edit the script when you add new extensions and themes Step 1: Create a folder to use for FireFox setup files (example: $OEM$\Setup\FireFox) Step 2: Create a sub folder called addons (example: $OEM$\Setup\FireFox\Addons) Step 3: Download all the extensions you want to silently install to the Addons folder (example: $OEM$\Setup\FireFox\Addons\MyExtension.xpi) DO NOT CHANGE THE EXTENSION Step 4: Repeat Step 3 with the themes you which to install Step 5: Download the FireFox setup file you would like to use and place it in the "$OEM$\Setup\FireFox" Folder Not the addons folder Step 6: Download the file below and place it next to the FireFox setup file Notes: The FireFox setup file can be renamed to anything you would like just do not edit the description of the file or the company name in the properties this is how my script finds the file all you have to do from your unattended setup is call Install_FireFox, no switches or codes to deal with. attached is the Source file coded in AutoIt for those who would like to see how this is done.

does anybody know of a GUI that will work with Presetup.cmd? It would be great if it had the ability to use check box's but if anybody know of any that would work it'd be greatly appreciated.

I was looking for one from before the audio player as I'm going to be using this for something else and don't need any of the added tools (though very nice work on those my xp install is much better with WPI)

is there somewhere where I can download old WPI versions?

I'm kinda new at this, how would I turn it into a floppy image, just copy the files over? or do I have to mess with the boot data somehow

my alienware came with an ISO to flash the bios, I was wondering how I would add this to my multi-boot DVD

I was wondering if there was a way to pause the windows setup the reason for this is I am running a few things from the detachedprogram but from what I'm told this runs while setup is still continuing, however there are quite a few things I am extracting here and I would also like the option to switch disks but in order for this to be possible windows setup would either have to pause or there would be an error so I was wondering if there was any possible way to pause setup while the disks were switched and then unpaused when the original disk was inserted and everything was finished extracting. I could always hold of a few of these options until the cmdlines kicked in but it'd be a bit more difficult Many thanks in advance - Acid Corps

awsome thank you very much

Ok I'm making the user accounts and I want to use the Net User method so I can make passwords and I know to make an administrator you put net localgroup Administrators UserName /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited what would you put in to make a limited user?

I fallowed the msfn unatteded guide, but my WPI didn't start. is there some command I might have missed to put in winnt or cmdlines? - Acid Corps
