I reinstall without the phishing filter as you suggested but still experiencing the same problem. I thought the phishing filter apply when you do web browsing. This is very frustrating. It seem I'm the only one who experience this. Kenneth

Hi, I search all over the web and this forum but still haven't find a solution to this problem. After I upgraded from IE6 to IE7 on Windows XP SP2, when I browse a shared drive on the network (LAN) the first time, it pause or hangs for at least 20 seconds before Windows Explorer responses. After that I can browse the shared drive with no delay. I can reproduce this on all three home computers that I have. If I uninstalled IE7 and revert back to IE6, I don't experience this anymore. I even tried doing a new install of Windows XP SP2. It didn't help. Anyone experience this when you upgrade to IE7? How to resolve this? -Kenneth

I love yours more than others because of its simplicity and light. Please continue updating this aswsome tool. B) I found the others a bit more bloat and difficult to configure. That's why I need use them. Kenneth

There must be an easier and alternative method where you simply remove the "Send To" command from the context menu without deleting each applicatin's "send to". -Kenneth

Hi, What's the registry key to remove or hide the "Send To" command from the context menu? Every time when I scroll through the context menu, it slows down my system when it highlight it. -Kenneth

Thanks Cyberloner for your confirmation. I tested in the Windows XP SP2 English and works fine. -Kenneth

Hi, Is the patched SFC_OS.DL_ for Windows XP, Windows XP SP1 or Windows SP2? -Kenneth

Hi, I finally decided to upgrade to Windows XP SP2 and transfer all my unatended scripts from SP1 to SP2. Everything works smoothly except the RunOnceEx.cmd. Its works fine in SP1. I even tried to run RunOnceEx.cmd on a SP2 machine, I get an error message "Error: Invalid Parameter". Has this being change in SP2? Any helps is really appreciated.

Thanks alot, Mhz. Just what I needed. -Kenneth

Hi, A few months back, I saw someone mention there is a registry editor that shows the changes in the registry in real time. Meaning, it shows which registry is change without doing a manual comparision of the registry to find out the changes. I did a search and couldn't find it anymore. Anyone happen to know one that meets this requirement? -Kenneth

@erik, That makes lots of sense. In that case, I'll install all my hotfixes during T-12 except for the WMP hotfix that will install after wmp10 is installed. -Kenneth

So can someone tell me if there is any difference if I'm installing the hotfixes from the cmdlinel.txt during T12 or the runonceex.cmd when first log into Windows XP? -Kenneth

Yeah I would love to upgrade to the SP2 but I still have some older programs that wouldn't with SP2. So I have to stick to SP1 for now. -Kenneth

Hi, Are there any advantages of installing the hotfixes from the cmdline.txt or runoncex.cmd? -Kenneth

Hi, I have a thinkpad T23 for more than 3 years now. In the last 3 months, I have being experiencing random freezing when starting Windows XP every time. I tried reinstalling Windows XP couples time but I still experience the same. It also happens each time when I reinstall Windows XP. It hangs in the driver stage when reinstalling Windows XP. It works fine in safe mode. Also I tried installing windows 2000 and getting the same result. Therefore, I suspect that there is faulted hardware part. How does one systematically find out which hardware that is causing the freeze? What diagnosis tool to use to trace it? I would like to disable the driver for that faulted hardware. Because my warranty is over and its too expensive for service. Any help would really appreciated. -Kenneth

I didn't find any missing "". Even if that's the case, it should at least executes the rest. In my case, it didn't execute or install any of the applications. -Kenneth

Can someone take a look why my runexoncex no longer executive any of the statements even thought it is imported into the registry? Its have being working for 3 months until I added some applications to it. That's all. The source to the applications is correct.

I'm going to test it out next week. Thank you so much for contributing back to the msfn community. -Kenneth

Hi, Anyone know if there are switches for not installing the video and archive plugins? Below is the silent swithes that installs the full version. REG ADD %KEY%\300 /VE /D "Acdsee Powerpack 7.0.62" /f REG ADD %KEY%\300 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\ACDSee_PowerPack_v7.0.62.msi /QN USERNAME=ORIGINAL ALLUSERS=1 INSTALL=FULL SLL_LICENSENUMBER=* REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS" /f -Kenneth

Afterdawn, thanks for sharing the script. Here is another one that I found. Not sure if there is any advantages, comparing yours.

Thank you Cartoonite for the script. This definitely will make my life much easier. I used nLite to do the integration but notice for some reason it only integrated 8 out of the 14. That was the reason that I posted this topic. My next dolist is to learn how to integrate the drivers. Do you happen to know some threads? I did a quick search and didn't find it much. -Kenneth

Can someone verify if this are the correct switches? How do you use the /integrate to slipstream to an unattended cd?

Alphabetically sort Start Menu, you need to apply it each time you install or modify any items in the Start Menu. That means, whenever you see menu items is out of oder you need to re-apply the tweak. Therefore, its best to create a batch file called tweak.bat and tweak file called tweak.reg and put it in the Startup floder. -Kenneth

Thanks. Does this method accepts long filename? Or do i have to rename each hotfixes to the 8 DOS character limitation? -Kenneth

Would someone be kind enough to explain me the procedure of installing hotfixes for Windows XP SP1? For example, where do you place the hotfixes? What files do I need to modify? etc... I have reading various methods and not sure which is one the proper one. Any help would greatly appreciated. -Kenneth
