  1. Make a fresh copy of your install files from CD, you can do this from Dos proper.

    Then try again. Also for future reference you might want to look at AVG antivirus which can do a number of things directly from DOS.

    If I recall shdocvw is related to icons or icon display.

    Personally I'd just back up the files in question, zip or rar them to preserve LFN. Not much good can come from installing the OS over on top of itself.

  2. What about making a hardlink to something else on your C drive

    I believe fsutil in winXP does hardlinks, as well as a 3rd party tool "CreateHardLink.exe"

    switch to your Documents directory

    Eg : fsutil hardlink create UserImages.bmp <full path to some other image on the same drive>

    Then mark the file as read/system/hidden... then the app in question has a crap file to work with, and you don't see it ;)

    Appears Nero 6 doesn't have this lovely spyware functionality.

    And yes this really should be moved to "Software Hangout".

  3. I imagine your best bet would be to setup a BartPE Disk, the other option would be to have a dual install of say Win2K and WinXP, booting into Win2K to wipe your WinXP partition.

    All of the DOS based NTFS that I have seen are read-only, though perhaps theres one that requires $$ for write access? I don't know that I would trust it even so. Since the other options are fairly easy and safe.

    Just another good reason to use Win2K I guess ;)

  4. What I have stored in my registry at:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

    "PagingFiles" =hex(7):44,00,3a,00,5c,00,70,00,61,00,67,00,65,00,66,00,69,00,6c,\

    00,65,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,20,00,31,00,35,00,33,00,36,00,20,00,32,00,\

    30,00,34,00,38,00,00,00,00,00

    Which is for D:\Pagefile.sys 1536 2048

    So using this within a .cmd or such during unattended would preset the pagefile to where you want? Instead of having windows preselect the drive with the amount of space it believes it requires?

  5. Bend over so I can thwack your ignorant butt with my dead Amiga keyboard. :P

    Ya my friend has two amigas and they are pretty powerful with 2 mb of ram and you can make music and graphics. Supposedly some startrek movie was made with one.

    Impressive ? yes

    Capable of playing GTA SA or sending a reply to this forum ? I dont think so.

    Wanting to bother and try to get online with one ? not in your life.

    Went out with the 8-track ? 10-4

    :whistle:

    Perhaps he should check out AmigaOS4.0 which has internet and browser support then.

  6. If you're asking whether you can recover all the information that was on your C:\ folder dfs from the Folder you created on D:\ then no that wont be possible.

    If the format was recent on C:\ then all the information is still there, but likely the only way to recover it since you wiped out the FAT and the backup FAT2 with the format would be via disk sector editting - which is a tiresome task to say the least.

  7. I chanced upon a QuickLaunch thread on MSFN today, but it was only discussing XP, an older thread that had originally started back in 2003 but had recently gotten a new reply. From the contents of that thread I found mention of a registry key, which I located in my Windows 2000 registry.

    Please take a look at that thread, and I'll upload the 3 keys I found in my Win2K registry under that path - perhaps this may be of some use.

  8. It doesn't work for the same reason Trillian has gone thru growing pains w/ Yahoo and MSN. Those networks have changed connection certification. In trillian and other multi-IM programs the .dll handling those 2 had to be rewritten. In MSN proper I doubt it has a .dll its very likely contained within the binary executable itself. So really theres not going to be much one can do to force it to connect to the network.
