Yz Toolbar can replace the Explorer and Internet Explorer icons with an on and off switch.

If you can afford it somehow, vBulletin is the best, at least for me. The next best thing is Invision Board.

This may sound stupid, but have you tried running a search for it?

No worries, I made that same exact mistake 3 times in a row, before I finally figured it out.

On the root of the CD, my OEM folder structure looks something like this... $OEM$\ $OEM$\$1\ $OEM$\$1\Drivers\ $OEM$\$1\Drivers\Creative\Sound\ $OEM$\$1\Drivers\Ess\Modem\ $OEM$\$1\Drivers\Nvidia\Video\ $OEM$\$1\Install\ $OEM$\$1\Install\DX9b\ $OEM$\$1\Install\JavaVM\ $OEM$\$1\Install\WMP9\ $OEM$\$1\Install\Wallpapers\ $OEM$\$1\Programs\ $OEM$\$1\Programs\Firebird\ $OEM$\$1\Programs\Thunderbird\ $OEM$\$1\Programs\Miranda IM\ Your $OEM$ directory should be placed on the root of the CD, like say D: was your CD drive letter, your path would look like D:\$OEM\$1\ **EDIT** I should also add, that anything inside your $OEM$\$1\ folder will be copied to your hard drive, on the root of the drive. (ex. C:)

SP2 isn't out yet. How do you have it? Other then that, I have no idea what's wrong.

Yeah, I know about that. So far I've only been able to track down a registry entry that makes Mozilla the default browser, but that doesn't help me much. ;Make mozilla the default browser. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.htm] @="MozillaMarkup" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.html] @="MozillaMarkup" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\ftp\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\https\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files\\mozilla.org\\Mozilla\\Mozilla.exe \"%1\"" (got that from webmedic) Any ideas?

No thanks. Heh.

Alrighty, here's a new problem. I'm able to have Firebird and Thunderbird copied to their proper directories during setup, however I'm trying to find a way to make them the default applications for both internet and email. Anyone know of any registry entries or such that would remedy this problem?

Hey, that's actually pretty useful. Thanks edg!

It may seem trival, but not to me. I've managed to locate the power configuration registry settings, but I have no idea how to set them. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\] It ranges from 0 to 5, and it gives an accurate description of each one, but they are registry binaries, not dwords. Does anyone know how to edit them? Or am I even in the right place? --EDIT-- Nevermind, I figured out how those settings work, if at all. No need to help here.

Very nice. Thanks for the guide.

Many thanks Arron!

This may seem stupid, but oh well... When you burn your Windows XP CDs, are all the files capitalized? I use WinCD Manager to burn my ISO, as it is able to burn the ISO with the boot section by default. However, I notice all my files become capitalized, even the added ones, in the ISO and on the final CD. Now, when Windows installs, all the default files are, well, default. Most of them are lowercase like they are supposed to be, but my added files that are copied remain capitalized. All I need as an aswer is, does your method of burning the ISO leaves you with capitalized names for your added files? If not, what method do you use?
