Yes, this is used for truncated folders when you want to create a distribution share on a server and start the installation with WINNT.EXE You can find the explanation here: Designing a Distribution Share My client wants to use this way to install Windows XP so I must deal with MSDOS and his old 8.3 names but this is not the real problem... I've created the same installations with Windows NT and Windows 2000 without having this problem with the "All Users" folder... For the moment, I've created a command in the CMDLINES.TXT which move my file to the all Users\startup folder...

Hi, I'm trying to create an unattended installation of Windows XP and I'm stuck with an "All Users.Windows" profile created next to my "All Users" folder. After searching the forum, I've seen that "All Users.Windows" is created when the "All Users" Folder already exist but my folder "All Users" is created using the $$Rename.txt and I want to merge it with the one created by the Windows Installation to copy a file in "All Users\Start Menu\Startup" Here's what I use to create my system: 1. My "Documents and Settings" folder is located on my D Drive and is named "DATA" using unattend.txt: [GuiUNattended] ProfilesDir=D:\DATA 2. $$Rename.txt located in I386\$OEM$\D [DATA] ALLUSE~1="All Users" [DATA\ALLUSE~1] STARTM~1="Start Menu" When I check my folders, it seems that the "D:\DATA\ALLUSE~1" folder is created and renamed just before Windows creates the real "All Users" so the installation process creates "All Users.Windows". Is there a way to prevent this? I can't understand why this problem occurs because I have another unattended installation which uses the default folders and ALLUSE~1 is merged perfectly...

Hi, We still have a lot of Windows NT (Srv & Wks) due to a wonderfull software that don't work on Win2k+. The OS language is ENGLISH so Windows Update should download the remaining updates in english but for a lot of them, the downloaded security fixes are in dutch and I receive a lot of error messages because (it's logic) the language is not correct... And after the reboot, I have a mixed english/dutch explorer :s How is it possible to fool Windows Update like that? And how can I correct this?
