Btw, in any macro recorder, always prefer keystrokes to mouse clicks. Mouse clicks are sometimes dangerous. It depends of where is your mouse when the script starts and where the window is. In all my script, I use Alt+A/N/F/I/D, SPACE, ENTER, TAB, UP, DOWN.

A few years ago I had to use a proprietary software (beginnings of ADSL). I don't know exactly when but we received a mail telling us user had change a bit (fti/wecu264 instead of fti@ft/wecu264) and that we could use normal XP dialup (in fact, I maybe had to use it because 98 doesn't handle PPPoE). Now I use it. It's OK, it's light, command-line enabled... and RASPPPoE uses it.

Don't you have a super drag-and-drop ? That browser feature that lets you select some text on a page, click on it, drag and it opens in a new window or rather tab ? *love maxthon*

Please remove the icons so we have a clearer view on the background.

A bit of everything. I find it as easy as batch and more powerful. And string operations means you can easily manipulate strings with it, probably easier than many languages. But I forgot one think : easily create GUIs.

Many many people in France have broadband, mainly thanks to a single operator that has very aggressive prices and made every others follow. I do have broadband. However, I just had to dial (rasdial.exe).

Autohotkey and autoit are scripting languages. Very easy to learn. My preference goes to AHK since it's open source but they are just the sames. They allow window (send keystrokes, mouse clicks), string, file manipulations... Just google them.

Nice theme, nice wall, nice moving for the girl (undressing ).

Just drag the file you created over autohotley.exe. Or if you used the installer, rename it to script.ahk.

Same here. Just one site for your site : please don't forget to use line feeds. And for your scripts, you should use variables imho. I mean you always use absolute path, replace absolute paths with variables that are defined at the beginning of your scripts or somewhere else. Thus if you need to change a path you only have to do it in one place. And last, why not use something like AutoHotKey or AutoIt ? Anyway, congrats.

Do you mean macro that will repeat some keystrokes and mouse movements ? If so, personnaly, I use AutoHotkey: http://www.autohotkey.com/ It is mainly a scripting language designed to ease interaction with windows (not Windows). There is a recorder inside the main archive. AutoIt is just the same thing. In fact, AutoItv2 and AutoHotkey are the SAME thing. AutoItv3 is a bit different. http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

Kels and mritter, time to update your sigs!

Many tries and a few hacks, especially with CABbings. I know, unuseful post, but 1200th.

For example if you don't use Windows Media Player, you will save at least 22MB. But you need another media player. On my computer, it is MPC+Foobar, approx. 4/5MB. Also, I remove nearly all drivers because anyway XP has no support for my hardware. I also remove some hardware support. Then, keyboards and languages. Then, Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Sounds (I really enjoy a quiet computer, that doesn't wake everybody up at home when I power my computer at 6am). Then, IIS, MSN Messenger, MSn Explorer. Same goes for .Net Framework (I install .Net 2 after if I need it). Manual install and RIS also. Last, I remove a bunch of services and I break Windows Update compatibility (which has ben proven to be a not so bad idea with this WGA thing).

4BG RAM ? 4 64 bits processors ? It's only 1GB per processor! Did you know 512MB on 32 bits systems lets you store as much data as 768MB on 64 bits systems ? In fact, you should take 16GB.

Express, what is the "exact" title of a download dialog in your language (the thing is case-sensitive) ? When this windows appears, checks it is active and simulate a press on the ESCAPE key. This cancels the download. It also displays a ballon-tip (can't test the ballon-tip right now cause Litestep [my shell] can not display them) The title of this window is "Téléchargement de fichier". What's yours ? It will only cancel the first 1000 downloads. I think it should be enough.

Falcon4, could you try without -duplicates-once ? I once had this bug and this solved the problem at least on one computer but not on another. Did you try with CDImage ? And if you can't get the CD to be boot on this computer, you can try with 1- boot disks (floppies) 2- a multi-boot CD with only one OS to boot.

CDBurnerXP has a known bug with erasing DVDs : they won't be formatted and will then be unusable. It think it has been corrected in CDBXP 3.5 and is only present in CDBXP 3.

You have different compatibility levels for isos and the less compatibles allow the longest paths. Could you create the iso with mkisofs manually ? Open a command prompt, then run mkisofs with parameters used by nLite (don't forget to add the source path ). Does it throw any warning ? CDImage can't be used with nLite because it would need an authorization to reditribute it.

Glad to see you added the hardest one.

You may try the default value stored at : HKEY_USERS\{CLSID_of_the_account}\UserAccounts.PassportManager\CLSID. I'm not sure though. One thing is that XP can set rights on registry keys and it makes everything harder, not impossible, just longer in fact.

C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATIONS\???\RPnnn\MountPoint***** ??? is the name of a folder I can't remember but it is the only one in System Volume... RPnnn : nnn is the number of the Restore Point. MountPoint***** : can't remember the exact name. And now, the power of regshot. /brb

I have to find a computer with SystemRestore to really help you. (removed with nlite) In every restore point, there's a specific file for the registry. It is probably possible to open it in a text editor but I'm not sure. MS's notepad will not do the trick since the file is quite big, try with notepad2 or notepad++. Then, I'll try to find the reg key. Do you have any time limit for this ?

Indeed there's a reg key. Do you have any registry backup or do you use System Restore ? (not to restore the whole thing but it may be possible to find a single key)
