If you mean the grey background on the window, you can't. That's managed by the Windows theme.

Hmm... I've used lines like the following throughout my command file and they all work fine: echo COMPSETUP.CMD (5): Starting computer setup. > %log%This problem has only started since I started using "()" in my IF statements. I'm sick and tired of having to manage dozens of IF statements when I should be able to put all my commands into one statement.

Hmm... that's strange. I've been downloading from ThemeXP.org for years now and I've NEVER had any problem with spy/adware coming from them. What files have you downloaded that contain spy/adware? Also, files on ThemeXP.org are made by other people so some people may be of the malicious type.

@netquik: If you look at my first post, you'll see I changed that some time ago. You are right about the C9 being C0, it was my mistake. I didn't read what I was typing close enough. Oh, and you need to make BOTH hex edits to your file. The first edit changes the SFCDisable registry key to SFCSetting and the second one disables that annoying dialog and stops the file being overwritten.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the following statement... cls %systemdrive%\MSA\UTILITIES\CMDOW.EXE @ /VIS set /p floppy="Do you have any MSA update floppies (y/n)? " %systemdrive%\MSA\UTILITIES\CMDOW.EXE @ /HID :UPDATEFLOPPY if %floppy%==y ( echo. >> %log% echo COMPSETUP.CMD (20): Setting up MSA floppies: >> %log% )No matter what I answer the floppy question with, the command file dies on me. No errors or anything. I'm only new to using if statements like this but to me, this should work. I originally thought it could have been because I was using nested IF statements but even the simplest one like this won't work. Can somebody help me?

Currently, I'm using GreenMachine's method of using IExpress to install it via SVCPACK. Has anyone actually been able to install it seamlessly like with Media Center and Tablet PC?

Just on the expand command... You should use the command "expand -r netfw.in_". That way, it automatically extracts whatever file is inside it and then renames it the way it should be named.

@RyanVM: It sure does. The /integrate switch works the same way as the /integrate switch for SP2 (almost). Running a hotfix with /integrate and pointing it to where you're install CD is, it will automatically add/replace the files to the CD, create an SVCPACK directory, copy the .cat files there and make an SVCPACK.INF file.

At the moment, I have made it so you can browse a moderated list or a full list. The full list contains ALL switches, including dupes & false switches and the moderated list is, well, moderated.

To all, as of SP2, qchain is NOT needed if you use the /integrate option when adding hotfixes to your installation. By using /integrate, it'll check to make sure it's only updating files that need updating and not just blindly overwrite them. I'm glad to see Microsoft have finally added this feature to update.exe.

Nice app. I'll be saving this for future use. I'm also working on an app switches database except mine will be online in PHP5 so it'll have the option for users to add their own switches. Would be nice to have an offline version though.

Heya GreenMachine. I've used this to rename my network connection on all the PC's I use. Thanks for this. BTW: What do the "TEMP" variables mean? I mean the :~99,38 part... Oh, and can the !'s be changed to %'s or do they have to stay at !'s?

Does RealTime and QuickTime Alternative support anyother player other than MPC? Will they work with WMP?

I don't like to delete the registry entry incase, one day, I want to uninstall via add/remove programs.

One thing about using Gosh's method, you can't integrate Windows hotfixes into your install.

@DisabledTrucker: If you look at the downloaded swflash.in_ file, you'll notice that this installs v7.0.19.0. The quote your refering to is the ORIGINAL file on the CD. @war59312: Yep!

Just thought I'd let everyone know... If you use Gosh's method of reducing source and then try to integrate the latest hotfixes/service packs with the /integrate option, it will generate an error. You need to use your original CD when integrating hotfixes. *That was probably said somewhere else but I probably missed it*

I've nLited my CD and removed System Restore, I've integrated SP2 and I've used Gosh's method to reduce source even more. I have NO problems installing the .NET Framework. Even on a non-nLited CD, it works flawlessly. What else have you done to your CD?

Nothing new. You just need to make sure you have WMP9 installed by default with SP2 OR You can extract the MP10Setup.exe file and right-click, install the WMP10.inf file and then run setup_wm.exe. I'm pretty sure that works but don't quote me.

Does anyone know of any network design programs? I need one to draw up our new network at Mantra Software Australia. I want to be able to incorporate the computers, switches, KVM switches, hubs, printers, scanners, cameras etc. into a diagram that I can use to show how our network is wired. I have searched but cannot seem to find anything suitable. Only program that I can find is Visio by Microsoft. Anyone have any ideas?

If you do make it, I'll be interested in downloading it. Couldn't be bothered doing it myself.

I can't seem to find anything on this. I'm after the location of where all the New menu items when you right-click are located. Are they registry entries or files of some kind? I know TweakUI gets a list from somewhere, does anyone know where? Edit: Nevermind. Using TweakUI and Regsnap reveals they're all over the registry. Have to remove them by hand.

@godan: You using a slipstreamed SP2? If so, it's OK. Just edit the WINNTBBU.DLL file and all should be fine (works for me).

@Diabolical82: The quotes are only required if there is a space contained in the string. None of those have spaces so the quotes are not needed.

@SiMoNsAyS: Nup. Won't screw with nLite at all. I remove pretty much everything using nLite and this works flawlessly. @benners: My method does a true slipstream... Yours just copies files. Some programs will require the other files and the registry entries. Also, there is a difference between Nero ASPI and Adaptec ASPI and some programs will require the Adaptec one.
