They have some thing called Mod pe or some thing like that on the board that allows you to use modified files during a window install. The other thing is that the image can only be 256 bmp I believe also. Edit Can someone help me with these last few bugs? Reply for different thread, sorry my mistake.

Here the same script with out the message boxes, you will have to edit the file it checks for to suit your needs. This was a template nothing more but then I assume most people would know that.

Truthfully I would not run a anti virus on a beta OS because it not code complete. It has not had it code optimized so the speed of the Beta OS would be slow, adding a anti virus to it would only slow it down more. Also Vista seems to like to run with 30 plus services and adding the anti vitus only adds to that number. In much later version of Vista when the code is more optimized I might try a Anti Virus on it.

Try a VBS script This script will check for all CD or DVD drives if there a disk in the drive then it produce a message box to confirm a disk in the drive. If there is no disk in the drive another message box is produced that say the drive is empty. This one will check for a specific file on any CD or DVD drive, when the check file is found it will produce a message box that say This is a XP CD then it will quit the script. Change this color in the script to suit your needs. If Fso.FileExists(StrDrv.DriveLetter & ":\win51ip.SP2") Then

Yes you can use a VBS script to do that. This VBS script writes to the registry then checks for the value then deletes the value. I have set it so it has message boxes popup at each stage. Save As Test_Write_Check_Delete.vbs Here are some link that will help you Work The Registry using VBS script

Do you mean something like the posted image, this is my taskbar and you have to change the image that the theme uses. I used TGsoft Style Builder to make my own ms styles.

I just have a vbs script that use Windows built in defrag and have been happy with it.

You have a extta % one of these at the end of Norton AntiVirus%, this would be my guess. If you feel comfortable using VBS script here one that in therory should work. Here is a brief explanation of the below script 1:\ It checks for this folder All_UP & "\System\" If it there then it copyies norton then deletes the original location of nortons. 2:\ If this folder does not exists All_UP & "\System\" then it makes a that folder then it copies nortons then deletes nortons. I have tested this and The Norton Folder ended up in the System Folder and the original Nortons folders was deleted.

Try this if you are installing from the hard drive If you want to install from the CD The reason is the second quote will get copy to a local drive during the install.The Third quote stay on the CD This seems to be correct I do not know about the switches for Adobe as i do not use it.

I go here to learn about VBS scripting The Hey, Scripting Guy! Archive they have a lot of templates and links to more information.

VBS script is better because you do not have to add nothing, it built in to the OS itself.

Your welcome

Have you tried this, right click the start menu, it brings up the Taskbar and Start menu Properties, then press the Customise Button and check to see if the number is set to Zero if it is reset that to a number that you want to appear.

Vbs message box, with a forced reboot using WMI if user selects yes.

It depend on when you need it to run. For mapping drives I would assume you need it after the install is completed, so the RunOnceEx.cmd would be the best time. Use the SFX file that I posted as that will delete the vbs file after it has ran.

I run my script from Cmdlines also but do not use Csript, I have them work from a hta. this gives me a interface to work with. I have a cmd file that start the hta that has my script in it. The SFX makes it act like a exe, then it clean up the vbs after it has ran. But RogueSpear is correct so that would also be another method. Hta from 13 minute to reboot

Most malware requires user interaction so you must of done some to help it. Since I have never had those problems, there again it something you are doing. Remember no system is 100 percent safe, it up to the individual user to safe guard there system no browser is 100 percent safe. I have three kids that use the computers here and I manage to keep them all malware and virus free. I am no expert at this so if I can do it then any one should be able to do the same thing, regardless of what browser is being used.

The key word here are patches those are not fixes, there is a big difference between patches and fixes. What about other browsers they have problems also but yet you are quiet on that, so you get real. Since my XP is up to date I have not has any problems using IE 6 nothing nada zero nul.

I disagree with that as all Internet Browsers all have problems with various security flaws. It just that 85 plus percent of users on the Internet have IE and so it the biggest target for malware virus writers. If you keep IE up to date then you lessen the potentail problems you may get.

I use winrar to make a sfx file. I have modified your VBS script so it will delete it self after it has ran. Save As Gratz_MapDrive.vbs This is the SFX code I have made this a SFX for you, I have not tested this, but in therory it should work. To modify the script use Winrar 1:\ extract the file to your desktop 2:\ edit the VBS script 3:\ rename the Gratz_MapDrive.vbs in the SFX to Gratz_MapDrive_Old.vbs 4:\ add you edited Gratz_MapDrive.vbs 5:\ after you have added the edited Gratz_MapDrive.vbs then delete Gratz_MapDrive_Old.vbs

Make the vbs script into a sfx file and it should run fine.

Open the file in Notepad and then hit the Edit and then high light the goto and then place the number in the goto dialog.

Here is a link that uses VBS script to compare file version then replaces them from a server, It might help you. Hey Script Guys Compare File Version

I have now tested the script on XP I do not get the erorrs, but it does not seem to change the drive letter. Who would think that a VBS script, works on Vista but not XP. I will see if I can fix it so it works on XP.

This is the code that changes the title bar, as you can see there is nothing in it like that.
