sounds interesting... so you don't have to mess with the txtsetup.sif-file and just drop the drivers in this folder? can anyone confirm this? Im gonna try anyway - ive only just formatted my pc after failing to get my SATA drivers integrated onto the custom WinXP cd! edit: looks like it doesnt work Another cd wasted :/ i think you need more than just the drivers to use this folder i will look in to it more and instead of uing CD's get a trail of Virtual PC and the bootable ISO images. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read the rest of this thread, but I did not find any more information on this with drivers. Has anyone done further testing than kcaj?

Generally, you will find these sites listed at http://pricewatch.com

I noticed this in txtsetup.sif; I read somewhere that removing fastdetect would result in a speed increase. Is that true? Also, I wonder where nodebug is from; I used nLite for this compilation. Thanks OsLoadOptions = "/fastdetect /noguiboot /nodebug"

Good FAQ, I wish all of the subforums had faq and one as good as this one. Keep up the great work; thank you!

Thanks for the simple steps to follow. I overwrote the one in my xpcd; I will give it a go in my next iso. Thanks alot

I read you tested the hard drive, but I would suggest taking that hd out and putting another in (try to install on the replacement hd).

Give this one a go: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=48629 I am still new to all of this, and I managed to get it going with my first compiled nLite iso in less than a minute. It took it a little while to boot; it is detecting devices right now and doing the install.

This seems to provide a computer name such as none-cf4744d8ca (the one for my computer right now). I want it to choose from the list noted in the winnt.sif (a, b, c, or d). What am I doing wrong? Thanks [UserData] ProductID=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx FullName="none" OrgName="none" ComputerName=* [SetupMgr] ComputerName0=a ComputerName1=b ComputerName2=c ComputerName3=d

I don't understand Can I just do makecab notepad.exe and then overwrite the one in i386? Will someone please explain the modifyPE line and it's necessity? Thank you

This might be it. I am not completely sure. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

I've done this for years; I did it under windows 2000 as well. It's never crashed the pc I did it on. I've only used for programs like explorer, winrar, tmpg.

I have a big habit of right clicking in blank area and going to "Back" when web surfing. How may I add this to context menu when in explorer.exe? Thank you

Here is a nice spoofing method. I use my phone number for my mac address. 1. "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}". There are subkeys of 4-digit numbers, which represent particular network adapters (0000, 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.). 2. Find the interface you want by searching for the proper "DriverDesc" key. 3. Edit, or add, the string key "NetworkAddress" (has the data type "REG_SZ") to contain the new MAC address. 4. Disable then re-enable the network interface that you changed (or reboot the system).

I just made this from the above posts. Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if this will be helpful. I put in batch file then converted the batch to exe with http://www.computerhope.com/download/utility/bat2exe.com . Then, placed the cmd.com in %windir%\system32. ex. start->run, cmd c:\xpcd Here are the bat contents call cmd.exe /k cd "%1"\ Here is the cmd.com http://onyx.cs.olemiss.edu/~makoosha/cmd.com

In explorer.exe, I use the address bar to change the path that I am currently viewing most of the time. Is there a way to make the drop down in the open dialog editable as well?

Hello, does a program exist to increase screen brightness more than monitor will allow? My friend has the monitor brightness turned to max and the video card drivers do not provide settings for brightness. I am wondering if there is a program to increase brightness in such case. Thank you

When copying multiple files of large file size via explorer.exe, I sometimes go to processes tab and right click explorer.exe and set priority to High. It usually seems to help, or it may be just me.

I caught myself checking those paths m$ had mentioned when I first found that reading. After reading your post, I did a search in the registry and found it being set to 1! Thanks, changing the value worked.

Aegis, I'd love to take part in it. I am very interested in learning more with this. Thank you

I'm not as knowledgeable as most on here, but maybe you could just use the current user key. I believe there is a first login option for the administrator account after your install. You could run it at that time. I hope that helps.

This might help: http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:xy8Yl...owtopic%3D32125 Edit: Also, http://www.robvanderwoude.com/amb_shortcuts.html was a good read.
