I wrote the start.cmd script and stuff, I made the Firefox install unattended, and I know how to set it as the standard web-browser (thanks to the help I got here). But I can't find the right way to execute the firefox executable from the start.cmd so I can set it as the standard browser. The thing is I'm not only making an unattended install disc for my self. I'm also making one for my sister and a couple friends as well. The only problem is that they usually keep their programs in C:\Program Files (or don't really care) where as I use my D: partition (which could be a problem for most of my friends I think). I've managed to set the program files my self in the start.cmd batch script (set ProgramFiles=D: (this line is removed ofcourse when making a CD for someone else)) and thats exactly where the command for setting firefox as the default browser is going. I tried using start /wait %programfile%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -silent -nosplash -setDefaultBrowser (with and without quotes) but with no luck. Hope this isn't all confusing, just needed to make a few things clear so no one missunderstood what I needed help with. But anyways, thanks for reading

First I'd like to say that these questions concern the Windows XP install CD and how I can better understand it and it's various features (the unattended install feature mostly). I have a Windows XP Pro edition (Norwegian) and I've just used nLite on it and I'm going to use Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks on it (I tried the 3rd method but it didn't work out so well. But it doesn't look like I have any choise (I've got alot of third party applications prepared to autoinstal as well,l such as Firefox, SPF, WinRar, Ad-Aware SE, and Open Office). But I digress. The questions are as followed: 1: How do I find out where the general dirs such as Program Files (Norwegian: Programfiler) and My Documents (Norwegian: Mine Dokumenter) are. I'm making a batch script that activates certain programs in the Program Files dir and I'm wondering where I should direct it. I use %systemdrive% to point to the OEM dir so I was wondering if there are any other variables like %programs% or %documents%. 2: I want to upgrade the Windows XP with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack but because it's a Norwegian Windows XP CD I don't know if I should. Maybe some Norwegian'll be English and some dirs that were supposed to be Norwegian are now English (that would reak a havoc on the system). I doubt there are any Norwegian update packs but if there are let me know (cause I can't find them). Doing it manualy is a very hard job I think (I don't even know which updates are Norwegian). 3: Is it possible to edit the registry thats inside the Windows install CD (the registry thats going to be in the finished Windows XP installation). Or is the registry built rather then extracted or put in its rightfull place? Thanks for reading and [ERROR: Appreciation_quote#42 not found.]

Thanks I hope this works on my CD.

I'm making an OEM CD for a couple of family members and I want to make Mozilla Firefox the standard browser. I figure my family won't know what hit em' and just enjoy the ride. But if not Internet Explorer's always in the menu. But still I'd like to make an OEM CD for my self where Firefox is the standard browser no matter what user you are (but is it possible?) Thanks for reading. Edit: Have you noticed that in the Windows XP start-menu when Firefox is set as the standard browser you right-click it and bam: you've got the ability to go into Firefox setting window without having to open Firefox it self (tho it would be opened technically speaking (I think)).

I have a similar problem. But I don't want to compare my computer to the install I've produced with nLite. I want to check the unburned cd (files that is) to see what kind of hotfixes I'm going to be putting on the install CD.

How about Ares or Soulseek? If it wasn't for Soulseek I wouldn't have had half the music I have now because of the rarity of my music (I live in Norway and I lsiten to underground hip-hop from all across the world). Ares has gotten laggy latly tho.
