4 days by my count, but close enough

I see where you are coming from Felix, but what are the chances os M$ making any changes to these particular .dll's?

is it that difficult to use the search function? People are 'jerks' because the same topics are posted over and over...

thanks MHz.. you pointed me in the right direction... the XviD installer I have is A Nulsoft installer.. which uses /S

I've searched and tried different switched for the Xvid codec, here and here, but each time I install I have to click my way thru the installation, ie it isn't silent. Any ideas as to why not? Or is there an alternative method I could try?

You must keep the Data1.cab file as well otherwise the installation will fail

have a look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=55900&st=10#

the best bet is to create the buttons for yourself... otherwise I can only reccommend google.. sorry mate.

hmm, it's been nearly 2 months since I've seen Mike Wilson in this thread, any ideas if he is still developing this utility?

I'll download and test it.. thanks

I think you're on the money with the filename issue there ringfinger

there's so much love in this here thread

My apologies for the lack of assistance I have been able to provide in the last month, I have just started a new job in the last month and it takes up a fair bit of my time.. thanks to lionhrt for the above info.. this is exactly what I have been doing, but he has found out more info than I did.

don't look a gift horse in the mouth

GREAT STUFF progressing nicely

thanks for the tip Yzowl

Yeah I was. well I did not know one could do this. My apologies. But thanks for your assistance all the same.

Exactly what I wanted to know... thanks

thanks again gunsmokingman, but i wish to do this using my exisiting script. I suppose my question should be is there a RENAME command? for example: RENAME /Y "%AUStart%\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal.lnk" "%AUStart%\Kaspersky.lnk" would this work?

Interesting, I've never seen that kid of script (relatively new to unattended installs), thanks... what kind of script is this? I was kinda hoping there was some sort of command I could use with my existing cleanup.cmd...

I am using cleanup.cmd to move and delete various shortcuts - from an edited script posted on these forums. Here is a snippet of my code: set AUStart=%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs set UserStart=%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs set UserQL=%UserProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch set AUDesk=%AllUsersProfile%\Desktop set UserDesk=%UserProfile%\Desktop REM :: Make New Folders :: MD "%AUStart%\Utilities" MD "%AUStart%\Utilities\Administrative Tools" MD "%AUStart%\Utilities\Windows System Tools" REM :: Move/Copy Folders :: COPY /Y "%AUStart%\Administrative Tools" "%AUStart%\Utilities\Administrative Tools" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\Accessories\System Tools\*" "%AUStart%\Utilities\Windows System Tools" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\jv16 Powertools\jv16 PowerTools.lnk" "%AUStart%\Utilities\Windows System Tools" REM :: Move/Copy Shortcuts :: DEL /Y "%AUStart%\Adobe ImageReady CS.lnk" DEL /Y "%AUStart%\Adobe Help Center.lnk" DEL /Y "%AUStart%\Adobe Bridge.lnk" DEL /Y "%AUStart%\Stop StartupMonitor.lnk" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\CCleaner\CCleaner.lnk" "%AUStart%\" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\Crimson Editor\Crimson Editor.lnk" "%AUStart%\" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\DVD Decrypter\DVD Decrypter.lnk" "%AUStart%\" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\Elaborate Bytes\CloneDVD2\CloneDVD2.lnk" "%AUStart%\" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\FlashGet\FlashGet.lnk" "%AUStart%\" MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal.lnk" "%AUStart%\" My question is, what command would I use to rename specific shortcuts? For example: MOVE /Y "%AUStart%\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal\Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal.lnk" what command would I use to rename that to Kaspersky.lnk? before anyone says anything, I attempted to search, using these search strings: +renaming +start +menu +shortcuts +renaming +startmenu +shortcuts +renaming +shortcuts +rename +startmenu +shortcuts +rename +shortcuts but none of these searches returned anything useful... thanks for anyones assisstance

ah ok I see.. then an installer sounds like it will definately be of use, as I also install my apps etc unattended

once you use this ap, you will not go back to the traditional method

what would the installer be used for tho maxXPsoft?

note down all the text, ok I'll give it a shot 2moro when I try my new install of nlitend XP... will let you know what I find
