@morftp hi that is merhaba pls let me ask you a private question before i thank for your help are you a turkishman who lives in USA or are you an amerikan who knows turkish ? in both cases i'm glad to meet you... and if you find it suitable we can write each other. i want to improve my english and get a considerable toefl score. anyway as soon as i get a proper time to try, i will try and give a feedback thank you very much friend

hi friend the thing i dont understand about registry tweak is that; some people chance HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_USERS_DEFAULT since there is no KEY_CURRENT_USER at the T12 stage. even one of the member has told that when you press F10 during installation you'll see USERPROFILE=DEFAULTUSER. its ok up to here. i can understand. on the other hand, some prefers to load the NTUSER.dat which resides at "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" at T12 stage after making all registry chances to default user at win32 environment. i cant decide which way to follow. and now you're saying that its enough to apply all registry tweak at T12 stage, it applies to all user except for visual settings. i am puzzled if so ok. this is easier than the ones above. meanwhile another question i wanna ask is, if the reg tweaks applied at T12 stage effects to all users and if the curent user gets its structure from default user, why shall we apply it at win 32 environment for current user ? wouldnt be enough to apply reg tweaks at T12 stage ? i am confused please clear what i misunderstand or show me a way thanks in advance.

hi friends i have a suggestion which i believe it will be usefull for us. as you know we make a collection of registry tweak and publish it in a sticky section. eveyrthings ok up to here but we can use these registry tweaks just for the current user. for the people who wants to apply these for all users(=at T12 stage from cmdline.txt), we have to change its structure. why not make another "reg tweak.txt" file for this stage ? i need such a section for it seemed to me that making a regtweak proper for T12 stage is so complicated. thanks in advance

@gunsmokingman hello gunsmokingman thanks for your suggestion but its not what i need and i prefer reg or cmd entries rather than vbs. @Yzöwl hello friend as you said its irrelevant about my question. however i will keep it. maybe i might need such a thing. and i insist on my question. because its very handy for my computing skills. thanks anyway

@nakira @Yzöwl thanks friends my UACD is getting well day by day thanks to you...

@Yzöwl hello Yzöwl, how are you ? i hope you're in a good mood. friend, i have tried your batch file but it gave an error message called "too many parameters" i opened it to understand and categorized (in order to understand easly and tidy since the copy/paste has made it untidy) but it looks allright. nothing seems wrong. i also examine and compared your batch file about superhidden files. So i have decided to send you the batch file itself in order to prevent misunderstanding. can you check and correct it for me please ? i dont want to tire you and i have done my best. as a last solution i am applying you. thanks in advance temp_tidied_.cmd

@DL. hi DL. yes i mean what you undertsand exactly. and thank you very much for for advice. i will search this and share with you as soon as i find

@DL. hey friend i tried your solution but works when you right click on a folder and for that folder. its not what i mean. i wanna open cmd window without right clicking on a folder. thanks anyway @benners hi benners i tried your software but it doesnt work for desktop. i am pressing ctrl+m to activite it but it didnt work out but inside a folder. thanks anyway

hi people as you know we can open a new command window in a folder from context menu. what i want is a little different from this. i wanna open a cmd window in the current directory i am in. and i prepared a reg file for this. but it works when you right click on a folder in in the current directory. (heres my question) i want it to be placed at context menu without right clicking another folder in current directory. can show me a way to do this or correct my reg file pls ? thanks in advance ================curdir.reg==================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;----- Get a new Right-click menu option (command box) ;----- [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt CurDir] @="Command P&rompt CurDir" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command Prompt CurDir\command] @="cmd.exe cd %~p0" ========================================

@Yzöwl hello friend i tried and saw that it is also possible for files. thanks a lot. it was what i wanna do for some time....

thank you very much Mhz. it worked.

hi friends i have a little question about batch file for winamp. i want to play some music at RunOnceExe stage. in order to do this, i am using the below batch script. ============================= @echo on title winamp color 0b MD "%systemdrive%\MyMusic" MD "%systemdrive%\Program Files\TempAmp" xcopy /y "%cdrom%\MyMusic\*.*" "%systemdrive%\MyMusic" xcopy /y "%cdrom%\Winamp\*.*" "%systemdrive%\Program Files\TempAmp" /s "%systemdrive%\Program Files\TempAmp\winamp.exe" "%systemdrive%\MyMusic\Dursun Zaman.mp3" %~n0.cmd >> %systemdrive%\%~n0.txt & EXIT ============================= it begins as expected that is winamp starts to play my music but it doesnt quit from commandline window , it hangs and doesnt go on to next installation except when closing manuelly command window. can you correct it please or give me a common knowledge to prevent such things thanks in advance.

hello friends its me again after a while i want to integrate the netframework, vb runtime, directx9c and flashplayer into my ua CD at T13 stage by means of cmdlines.txt in order to apply it for all users as windows components. and i wanted to do it by the command as follows: [commands] ".\cmds\wincomp.cmd" and my wincomp.cmd file is as follows: @echo on&title windows components are being installed&color 0b start /wait "%CDROM%\wincomp\netframework\netfx.msi "/qn REBOOT=Suppress" start /wait "%CDROM%\wincomp\vb runtime\vbrun60sp6.exe /Q:A /R:N" start /wait "%CDROM%\wincomp\directx9c\dxsetup.exe /silent" start /wait "%CDROM%\wincomp\flashplayer\Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe /s" but in order to test it in windows environment i wrote the cmd file instead, @echo on&title windows components are being installed&color 0b start /wait "D:\xpcd\wincomp\netframework\netfx.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress" start /wait "D:\xpcd\wincomp\vb runtime\vbrun60sp6.exe /Q:A /R:N" start /wait "D:\xpcd\wincomp\directx9c\dxsetup.exe /silent" start /wait "D:\xpcd\wincomp\flashplayer\Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe /s" but when i click it on the desktop unfortunately it didnt work . since i was sure about the commands are right, i wanted to test the every command in individual cmd file and put it in the relevant folder and it seemed to me it works. here are the codes for my test cmd files in relevant folder. start /wait dxsetup.exe /silent start /wait Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe /s start /wait netfx.msi /qn REBOOT=Suppress" start /wait vbrun60sp6.exe /Q:A /R:N pls can you tell me where the fault is or show me the way how to do so.... thanks in advance

hello againg yzwöl hey friend i wanted you to know that the 1st code is succesful (for applying reg files in a folder.) ================================= @echo off&title %~n0&color 0b&setlocal enableextensions pushd %~dp0&for %%a in ("*.reg") do call :addreg "%%~fa" popd&endlocal&goto :eof :addreg regedit /s %1&&goto :eof ================================ so of course i havent tried the other two codes. just a feedback as i promised.

hello yzwöl how are you friend? i tried the cmd file you provide me but it didnt work and gave me error in a way that "wrong parameter" that occurs twice at the same window. in order to determine the fault, i made a new cmd file which contains just these lines: code ==================================== Reg add HKU\TempHiv\Environment /v TEMP /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%%SYSTEMROOT%%\Temp" /f>Nul Reg add HKU\TempHiv\Environment /v TMP /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%%SYSTEMROOT%%\Temp" /f>Nul ==================================== and the result is same. i mean the fault must be somewhere here. can you help me pls about it. and meanwhile i want to assign all temp and tmp folders to %systemdrive% not %systemroot% in order to avoid defragmentation in the system folder. pls help me about it or correct me if i am wrong... thanks in advance @matthewk hey friend thanks for your help. as amatter of fact i want to do it in unattended way. but it might be helpfull by registry snapping method. but this is my last alternative..

hi friends i want to chance the default place of my temp folders and then delete previous temp folders and clean new temp folder to do this, i have wrote a cmd file as follows =========newtemp.cmd================= md %systemdrive%\temp rd /s /q "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp" rd /s /q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp" rd /s /q "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp" rd /s /q "%systemroot%\temp" reg add newtemp.reg DEL /F /S /Q "%systemdrive%\TEMP\*.*" ========================== and a reg file to chance the default places for temp folders ========newtemp.reg================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,\ 00,65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,00,\ 65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,\ 00,65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,00,\ 65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Environment] "TEMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,\ 00,65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 "TMP"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,44,00,72,00,69,00,76,00,\ 65,00,25,00,5c,00,54,00,45,00,4d,00,50,00,00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment] "TEMP"="%systemdrive%\\Temp" "TMP"="%systemdrive%\\Temp" ========================== here is the question; instead of applying registry entries with the "reg add newtemp.reg" command from my batch file, why not write it inside my newtemp.cmd file like runonceex.cmd ? in this way one cmd file is enough both cleaning temp folders and chancing the default temp folders. but i dont know how to do that. i tried to do it by learning the parameters from reg add /? in a cmd window but it didnt work. it allways give me "too many parameters" error. pls show me a general info and example so that i can do it by myself... thanks in advance.

hi Yzöwl i am very glad to see you since i know you'll help me as before. thank you very much again. i will try your suggestion as soon as i get home. and i will give a feedback for others to get most use of it.

[Try "cmd.exe .\reg tweaks\regtweaks.cmd"] it didnt worked out

hi friends i have an approach and a problem along with it. it's about registy tweaks: i think i should apply regtweaks at two different stages without differentiating whether it include HKEY_CURRENT_USER branches or not. the firts is at cmdlines.txt stage(in order to apply them for all users); and the second is at runonceex.cmd stage. pls don't direct me to unattended.msfn.org. they dont explain this case clearly (2004 guide). when reading it i understand from what they say is, i have to make two regtweaks.reg. the first is as usual and the second is just including the HKEY_CURRENT_USER brances. the normal must be placed at C:\XPCD\$OEM$\$1\install\ and must be executed from runonceex.cmd. and the second which includes HKEY_CURRENT_USER must be placed at C:\XPCD\$OEM$\ folder and must be executed from cmdlines.txt (i have read approximately 300 pages of this forum and still reading but this case is still confusing and foggy) and the second approach is (this is where i have a problemi think) that: i want to keep my regtweaks one by one with different names involving its relevant matter. so i made a folder called reg tweaks and put them together. and made a regtweaks.cmd file to apply them but its seems they are not being applied. when setup goes, regtweak.cmd appears for a short while when isn't long enough to apply all tweaks one by one. i know this because in the normal windows environment when click on regtweak.cmd it works and applies. and it takes a little time. here are my relevant folder structure and files; $OEM$ cmdlines.txt | reg tweaks(folder) | regtweaks.cmd | Context Menus.reg | power settings.reg | and the other *.reg files | cmds(folder) runonceex.cmd and other cmd files and the files are; ::===regtweaks.cmd====== @echo on title regtweaks color 0b for %%a in (*.reg) do call :addreg "%%~a" goto :eof :addreg regedit /s %1 goto :eof ::================== ::====cmdlines.txt======= [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" ".\reg tweaks\regtweaks.cmd" ".\cmds\RunOnceEx.cmd" ::================== ::===relevant part of my runonceex.cmd======== REG ADD %KEY%\090 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\090 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\reg tweaks\regtweaks.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\095 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\095 /V 1 /D "%cdrom%\$OEM$\cmds\cleanup.cmd" /f EXIT ::==================================

hey Lau thank you very much for your help this time it worked. at least on win 98 (i am at work now) ad i'm sure it will work on winxp at home. thank you very much again.

hello friends i have tried what you've told me to. but it didnt work out . here's what i've done: i opened the cmd file by means of edit.com and saw the the non-eng characters then i replaced them by using charmap and saved as unicode text in order to keep changes. then i converted to cmd again. but when executing nothing happens. i've checked whats going on within cmd by opening a cmd window and executing from there my cleanup.cmd. (meanwhile i must state that the characters i've changed was looking in anotherway not as i expected [ş,ç,ü,ı])and i saw that it interpreters even the normal commans in another way and give error message saying that "no such command is known" can you tell me pls whats wrong with it or suggest an other way to figure it out ? thanks in advance

i am still helpless. i dont know how to do what you say. more detail pls...

hello friends its me again with new questions my computers language is turkish which includes non-english characters like ı,ş,ç etc. and consequenty in my cleanup.cmd i have non-english characters. but it doesnt work. somewhere i have seen a solution to this situation in a way that writing them in 8+3 dos format but i dont know how to convert the such names into dos format. can you help me about it pls ? can you give me a general solution to such solutions? thanks in advance

hey mate (nakira) thank you very much for your solution. its seems a very important point when dealing with cmd files. and it worked this time
