It not as easy as you think. If it was then every one would be doing it. I agree with Dman on this.

Have you ever thought of a VBS file to do all the work. You can have all your action in there. Examble This will start the CleanMgr.exe and clean all Local Hard drive You could also add more action to this. Save as cleanmgr99.vbs

Added A Stop Button To The Script. Hope This Helps

Here Try This A Cmd That Stated from The Run Once Save As AlcoholInstall.cmd Reg File For Alcohol Run Once Enrty Change To Suite Your Location Starting it directly from the Run Once

You can have it output messages if you want. You just have to place them in the right spot. Here is a vbs script that you type in the extention to list all the files with that extention. It uses the WMI to search all local hard drives. It produces a report of the all files with the extention and there location.

Sounds like you need to use WMI Here is a link to The Hey, Scripting Guy! they may have a script that may do what you want.

Try this i have remove some of the quotes WshShell.Run Chr(34) & "runas /user:administrator %programfiles%\app_path\app.exe" & Chr(34)

Here is the correct pallette for the windows boot screen.I have used this only on W2K. Correct Color Pallete For Boot Screen This must be imported to the image editor you are using.

Try your cmd this why from the run box. %Comspec% /C MKDIR.exe %systemdrive%\TEST %Comspec% start/w /C MKDIR.exe %systemdrive%\TEST I tested both of those cmds from the Run Box, on Vista and each made the folder TEST on my %systemdrive%

I do not think Windows wil not run with out the Shell32.dll So your idea is no good. The shell I make is approx Half A MB smaller then the original shell32.dll from Microsoft. I could make it smaller if I took out the extra bitmaps I add to the shell. The modified cmd I use for replacer is set to some specific spots on my computer.

Nothing other then add a start / w for my replacer.cmd What I did was modified the replacer.cmd to automaticaly replace the shell32.dll, then after that done I reboot and my stuff is there.

I use a modified replacer cmd to replace any shell files in my runonceEx.cmd That how I get by the problem.

If you are adding updates to the XP CD then there are some that will change the shell32.dll back to Microsoft shell32.dll Where are you editing the shell32.dll, because if you try and change it here \windows\system32\ then nothing will stay. You have to move the shell32 or any files you plan on changing to a folder outside of Windows.

Yes I use a combination of various Longhorn, fooods, Icons In The Shell

Mount The Image In A Virtual Drive, Then Copy The files To A Folder On The Harddrive. Then Start The Install From The Desktop You Are On. That How I Installed Vista

Modifed Shell Files I use these files in my Ua CD and they work 100% on my computer. If I have the time I will redo a XP SP2 shell32.dll with all the icons from Vista Beta 1.
