@Gareththegod: the problems with opening files not made with the program are that you are unable to determine exactly how users have constructed the file and so how is the program supposed to read it, or has the program got to have a full database of registry settings, as for opening a sif file, from what i can gather bor3d has not constructed his design or code in such a way as to be able to do that without starting completely from scratch, my program however could easily open an existing sif file, if i could be bothered.

I can http://board.MSFN.org/index.php?showtopic=...70&hl=nero+reg#

did you get my email? and clean out your pm box you messy person...lol... it is full, hence the email

Correct me if i am wrong, BUT, this program has nothing to do with winnt.sif, and it took me about 5 minutes to knock up...lol...

i have managed to save the settings from one machine to another using file and setting transfer wizard and a vbscript vbs is easier than taking a p**s after 10 pints of lager...lol...

if people are going to use scripts to automate sendkeys then there is no need for reg tweaks and all the settings that ppl just cant do with the registry simply run file and settings wizard and save all your settings and stuff and then use a vbscript to replace all your settings, that way no need to fiddle with the registry

Ages ago i started a topic on windows update setup for all your apps, now some of you didnt quite understand it, so i thought i would write a little program to help you Download Here If the download link does not work, right click the link and click, save target as... The program is really easy to use, in the command textbox type your command ie: C:\Sample\App\HelloWorld.exe /s {dont worry about the double slash (\\) the program will do that for you} In the caption textbox type the caption you would like to appear on the windows update form ie: Hello World then click add, when you have finished adding all the items you want, click the preview button, a new form will appear this is where you get the chance to have a look at the reg file before it is created, if you are happy with it click save, a new folder will be created for you called WU_Setup (this folder will appear in the same directory as where you saved the app) inside this folder you will see 3 files Cmdlines.txt, Setup.cmd and Setup.reg now these files are all set for windows update, you can edit the setup.cmd file to add additional commands but Leave the line for setup.reg alone instructructions from here will appear in a messagebox on your screen If you are not happy, click edit, make the changes you want to then click save

What are you using? visual basic 6? what ever controls you have put in it, sure are making it kinda heavy on the old file size. My app has a lot more controls and code and forms and is still very small. View Topic I can help you with the coding if you like, tell me what you want things to do and i will code it, below is a list of stuff i can think of for now use microsoft windows common controls 5.0(sp2) not v6 ( this is because visual themes work better, dont ask why, cus i dont know ) In your decleration section add this line Private Declare Function InitCommonControls Lib "Comctl32.dll" () As Long Then add this Private Sub Form_Initialize() InitCommonControls 'Forces the use of xp COMCTL32.OCX v6 End Sub Then create a manifest file for the app this is all visual stuff i know but it is an xp app so why make it look like 98se i have more ideas but i have to go out now and pay some bills But seriously if you want help coding then i will help you Good Luck Lee....

well i am back after a bsod dont know what happened? i think i will not bother to slipstream sp2v1213 "my screen keeps making funny patterns" thank heavens for my unattended xp setup disc otherwise reinstalling would have been a pain in the a$$

sp2 does have a uxtheme

This is what i mean i created a folder called slipstream, and then 3 subfolders D:\Slipstream D:\Slipstream\XP D:\Slipstream\SP1a D:\Slipstream\SP2 i put my xp cd in and copied all the files to D:\Slipstream\XP next i put my Service Pack1a cd in and extracted xpsp1a_en_x86.exe to D:\Slipstream\SP1a next i opened the folder sp1a and deleted uxtheme.dl_ and then copied the hacked version to folder sp1a then i opened a command window from the sp1a folder and typed Makecab uxtheme.dll uxtheme.dl_ from that same command prompt i typed start /wait d:\Slipstream\SP1\Update\Update.exe -S:d:\Slipstream\xp which then slipstreamed sp1a "with the hacked version of uxtheme" into xp and low and behold the bloody thing worked, well i think, there is no errors in svcpack.txt just gotta test it now Please i hope you understand this as i dont think i can make it any clearer Will keep you posted Lee

no it isnt, i have never had clone cd, nor have i ever had close tray on right click

swgreed: well now you know how to do it, the max pic size is 96x96 and must be a bmp

personally i prefer this, it is more advanced and gives more control over the output of the file.

Download try this, but i think there is a problem, bor3d if you give me your email i will send to you or you can try downloading from the main page My Webpage

sunil: you are quite correct, as long as the admin account does not appear on the welcom screen and as long as there is only one user the system will automatically logon. on a side note if you ceate a user called System before your first logon ie: in your cmdlines.txt cmd script the system will auto logon without the admin account without the need for it to be set in winnt.sif and it will also show on welcome screen<<<------ completly useless i agree but informative non the less

i dont know why but it seems to be this line ;remove go button [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-527237240-1606980848-1202660629-500\ Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "ShowGoButton"="no" it may be that that key does not exist anymore, the S-1-5-21-52blah blah, is a unique sid number and when you reinstall windows, it creates a different sid number for a user " part of xp's security" your username might be user but xp sees you as a sid number and even if you reinstall windows and use the same name you will not have the same number cus xp gets the number from an encryption process Hope this helps you Lee

Raverod::: works just fine with wfp enabled, good work....

i have got the source code for this app, i think it is vb6, if anyone wants it please reply...

Kenneth: click start then click on the picture

it seems as though terminator's pic has gone down so here is the link to see it Picture

Download i will write a how to: to change the picture

from the looks of it he has used a transparency program to hook the window and set the alpha rate of it too semi transparent so you can see the picture, the actual setup screen isnt transparent

ty Termy: i was just about to update the link but you did it for me, cheers matey

when i right click on the desktop, this is what i see, if i get enough replies i will do a how to: Look Let Me Know Lee......
