  1. i found this for ghost 8.3{not tested by me}

    "Just run the following commands (one time only) from a cmd box in Vista under an admin account :"

    BCDEDIT /set {bootmgr} device boot
    BCDEDIT /set {default} device boot
    BCDEDIT /set {default} osdevice boot

    "By doing just that, one time, Vista is now set up to always work with your Ghost boot disk;

    You can make Ghost images just like you did with all the other operating systems. "

  2. Configuring the network bandwidth used by BITS

    This tip is only valid on Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later, or computers with BITS 2.0 or later installed.

    BITS is the service Windows uses for, amongst other things, downloading updates from the Windows Update or the a WSUS server in non-interactive mode; namely when Automatic Update downloads hotfixes or service packs automatically.

    In some circumstances it may be advantageous to limit the bandwidth that BITS can use - for example, when the computer is at the end of a dial-up link. Although the simplest method of doing this is via the BITS group policy, there are occasions when you may wish to set the values manually.

    The BITS configuration has a number of options:

    * The maximum on-schedule bandwidth utilisation

    * The start hour and end hour of the schedule to use

    * Whether to use the maximum available bandwidth or a user-specifed value for off-schedule times

    * If required (see above point), the bandwidth to use during off-schedule times

    For instance, in the above example of a machine connected via dial-up link, you may wish to limit BITS to its minimum speed (approximately 2kbs) during working hours, but use all available bandwidth outside of that time.

    To configure the BITS parameters

    * Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\BITS

    If the BITS key does not exist, create it.

    * Insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    EnableBITSMaxBandwidth

    Value:

    1

    * Insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    MaxTransferRateOnSchedule

    Value:

    The maximum transfer speed in kbps between 0 and 4294967200.

    If you specify 0, BITS will use its minimum transfer speed; around 2 kbps.

    * Insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    MaxBandwidthValidFrom

    Value:

    The hour of the day (in 24-hour format) at which you want the schedule to become active.

    * Insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    MaxBandwidthValidTo

    Value:

    The hour of the day (in 24-hour format) at which you want the schedule to become inactive.

    * If you wish to use the system maximum transfer rate outside of the defined schedule, insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    UseSystemMaximum

    Value:

    1

    * if you wish to set a maximum speed during the off-schedule hours, insert or change a value with the following details:

    Data Type:

    DWORD

    Value Name:

    MaxTransferRateOffSchedule

    Value:

    The maximum transfer speed in kbps between 0 and 4294967200.

    If you specify 0, BITS will use its minimum transfer speed; around 2 kbps.

    * Restart the computer (or simply stop and restart the BITS service) for the changes to take effect.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\BITS]
    "EnableBITSMaxBandwidth"=dword:00000001
    "MaxTransferRateOnSchedule"=dword:0
    "MaxBandwidthValidFrom"=dword:00000001
    "MaxBandwidthValidTo"=dword:00000024
    "UseSystemMaximum"=dword:00000001
    "MaxTransferRateOffSchedule"=dword:0

  3. sorry for not being cleaner...... he's on a lan with 4 other pc's. i've tried serveral programs but he manages to find them in the taskmanger and then disables them or unistalls them.

    i hope a registry tweak will stop him {he's afraid to mess with the registry :)}.

    thanks for suggesting Bandwidth Controller Personal Edition.

  4. incase anyone else removes i.e. and wants to run wpi as a standalone cd.

    Autorun.inf

    [AutoRun]
    open=START.cmd
    icon=wpi.ico

    START.cmd

    REGEDIT /S hta.reg

    start/wait "" C:\WINDOWS\system32\mshta.exe "%CD%\wpi.hta"

    exit

    hta.reg

    ;thanks Clint
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.hta]
    @="hta_auto_file"
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\hta_auto_file\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mshta.exe\" \"%1\""

    place these 3 files in the WPI directory. they will silently reg mshta.exe and start WPI.hta.
