I first tried changing the name by adding extra letters to the end of "AdvSetup" but that didnt work so i changed the whole string. The first file i use is like this ; ; Version 2.0 ; Copyright : © 2000,2001,2002,2003 ; by Brook Humphrey (bah@webmedic.net) ; for Mobile PC Medic OEM systems ; [version] signature = "$CHICAGO$" Compatible = 1 AdvancedINF = 2.5,"You need a newer version of AdvPack.DLL!"

Sorry Webmedic i didnt see you reply, ill leave that up for reference then when you post your download ill edit it out

Can you clarify this a little? Are you talking about the rollup fix or something else you and aaron are working on or are you refering to webmedics methods of installing the service packs that are available at this moment in time? I would hate to think we have been wasting our time doing it or even worse webmedics method dosnt get included in the write up because of a mix up. Thanks

As i said above there is a way to change icons that are contained in shell32.dll without editing or touching shell32.dll. Use regedit and find this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Icons\ In the section you will find a bunch of numbers that refer to the icons in shell32.dll If you edit the number that represents the icon you wish to change and point it to a new icon then it will change it but there is a catch. You need to flush out the icon cache and i havent found a way to do this without using the option in tweakui to "Rebuild Icons" There is a catch to doing that and that it will loose all your desktop and icon positions. As i said before all i wanted was a blue desktop folder instead of a yellow one - so i havent played with any of the other numbers except #3

I fixed it. I think in the inf file we have a section like this - [DefaultInstall] AddReg = AdvSetup [AdvSetup] blah blah In the second inf file i changed the name of "Advsetup" to something else and made the changes throughout the inf file and the problem went away.

This may sound silly but.... When i use an inf file during the install proccess and then try to use another inf file to do some other things after the pc has started it runs the stuff from the first inf file again and then continuse on to the new stuff. Any ideas?

I think this is planed for the next version. I would like to see the timer included in the program itself.

Also Check for extra spaces at the end of your lines of text - i remember reading somewhere that it can cause lines to be ignored. I don't know if i read that on this forum or the pebuilder one so ......

Thats a quite a hard and daring look on things. lets take the blaster problem as an example - it didnt get me because i update when ms tells me to. I took great plesure in laughing at my friends who turned off autoupdates crying about ms and there invasion of privacy. But to use a vehicle as an analgy like you did - If ford sold a car with an airbag that worked perfectly 99.9% of the time (just like the dcom code does) but failed to deploy if an oncoming car hit it at 37.6% going at 38.5 MPH (ie the malformed malicious code) would they recall it and fix it for free. Appoligies for names and spelling but you get the jist of what i am saying. Should i also have to buy an extra seat harness incase the one built into my car fails or should i trust the one my cars manufacturer supplied?

@yazoo all the settings in your theme use %WinDir%somethin.whatever, I think it is missing the first \ after %windir% - like %windir%\resources\Themes\Ximian\Ximian.msstyles Edit - Ive just looked at mine and its like yours so forget that. Edit again - I have looked at others and they are done correctly, its about 50% each way so i don't think it would hurt to add the offending \ in place but im not sure it will fix your problem. @ AaronXP - Sorry dude i told you i was missing the point. I still think its the cab thats signed and not the file but time wil tell

In otherwords just a roll up of all the previous fixes into one update without any improvement to those fixes. Sorry for my ignorance but what does RTW and TRM mean? Im glad it can be slipped though....that should keep Webmedic busy

yes sir it sure does. Open your .theme file with a text editor and copy and paste it here, this smacks of a path error or something like that.

It did yes - but as that was the only difference - changing it would just make it the same file as the one miso gave us. I think i am missing the point as i dont understand what you would gain from that. Edit sorry it dosnt give me the offset, bc is more of a text based compare tool.

Thats what i did, using Beyond compare.

It does have a different md5, but i did a BC of it the other day and it is only 2 bytes that are different. Hardly a lot but who knows.... Edit - Unless that little change causes it to match the sig or md5 of the correct file.... Is that even possible?

We can just place it in $oem$\$$\system32

After re reading your post - you may just want to copy over *.ico files during install, in that case you could place them in a folder like below \$oem$\$$\icons\youriconfile.ico and they would be copied to a folder called c:\windows\icons

Custom icons for what? If you are refering to the "my computer, network, documents and recycle bin" the you could use a theme and put the hacked uxtheme.dl_ file on your disk. then use the below command in winnt.sif [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\Resources\Themes\yourtheme.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff = No DefaultThemesOff = No if you are after changing icons like the default yellow folder or other icons that are contained in various .dll files then you would need to edit those files with a resource editor and then use the hacked sfc .dll to turn off wfp and replace those files and then turn wfp back on. I have found a way of changing the default folder icon via the registry but it requires you to flush the icon cache and i havent found a way to do that yet without the help of tweakui or a simaler program. I guess its possible to apply the above fix to other icons but i didnt look as i was only interested in a blue folder

Hell yes - dam good idea

Good luck

Has anyone else tried this program on a fresh install? If so does it work ok for you?

Good work - Now i dont have to test it.... Oh but the delemer that now causes.......... I have a multiboot cd with 6 ish versons of xp on it - to save space ill have to pull it from all the versions including the clean untouched repair option..... Oh what to do

Edit - What he said ^^^

I was just going to agree with you Aaron but then i looked - and this is what i have in my .sif file an it works perfect. [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\Resources\Themes\DarkXP.theme" DefaultStartPanelOff = No DefaultThemesOff = No
