Hi, Im trying to customise an autorun.inf file for a CD. Ive got the file to autorun the app i want, but im trying to change the default menu item that gets executed when you double click on the drive letter in my computer. this is what I have so far. Shell\Option0=&Browse Shell\Option0\Command=explorer.exe %PA_DRV% Shell=Option0 this should open the drive in an explorer window, but it just tells me that the PA_DRV directory doesnt exist. im not quite sure what to try Sorry if i posted in the wrong section, didnt know where else to put it Thanks, Colin

Wow that sounds great, i'll try it out, thanks

nobody has a better idea?

yeah i think i'll have to try repackaging, killing the process when it stalled didnt seem to work

ok ive managed to get the self extracting archive to work by changing some of the advanced SFX options btw does anyone know any switches that work for ACDSee 3.0 It almost works but then it pops up a dialog at the end asking for extensions associations... any ideas how t stop that

thanks for the reply i'll make a post in the nlite forum and see what else i can find about the nero installer by programs that dont have installers, i meant things like ResHacker, PowerMenu, etc... they're just standalone programs that you download in a zip, extract and run from the extracted folder without a "setup" process. if you get what i mean any idea?

yes thats how ive done it, ive started the next RunOnceEx from a line in the previous one... is there a better way to split up dialogs so that they close properly? heres my files: RunOnceEx.cmd cmdow

Well I almost have my unattended install working, theres just a few apps that dont seem to work with the switches i have firstly is there a definate working switch combination that works for Nero 7 Ive tried allsorts of combinations like /passive, /i, /qb, /reboot=suppress. And none of them seem to work secondly, nLite, when the installer starts it complains about the .net framework not being indtalled and do i want to download it now? is there anyway to bypass that? i couldnt find anything from searching the forums.. also i have some apps that dont have an installer, so what ive done is packaged them in a self extracting archive with winRAR. the only thing is now when it runs them it asks where i want to extract the files to, there doesnt seem to be any switches that let you specify the path :/ so does anyone know any better ways of doing this (installing apps that dont have installers?) any help would be much appreciated -Colin

Well ive almost got my unattended install to work I use RunOnceEx to install my apps and because there are so many the dialog goes off the bottom of the screen, so ive split my apps up into diffrent 'dialogs' by use 6 diffrent .cmd files e.g. RunOnceEx1.cmd, RunOnceEx2.cmd etc.. now my question is when these dialogs run, after the first one is done the second opens fine and so on, but the first one doesnt close and neither does the second when it goes onto the third one.. I have EXIT at the end of each .cmd file but it doesnt seem to work is there any other way to close the dialogs? also cmdow doesnt seem to be working (the cmd windows still show) any ideas on that..? Thanks Colin-uk

Thanks PITU! Anybody know the others?

Hi all, Ive recently got into creating an unattended Windows DVD and after spending a few days getting everything right, getting all my apps and tweaks in, im almost done. Theres just a few things I need some help with fixing / tweaking Heres the things im having trouble with: When installing Daemon Tools, (Version 3.47) the new hardware wizard pops up, I assume this is because im installing "new hardware", is there a way to stop this, has any one else experienced it? X-chat 2 (silverex build) install isnt automated / silent, I tried it with the /S switch and it just popped up the normal welcome to installation dialog They seem to be the only problem im having with applications so far, here are the tweaks ive searched for hours on end trying to find some way of changing them in the registry: remove "tuneup utilities" from my computer context menu remove "tuneup undelete" from recycle bin context menu untick "fade out menu items after clicking" untick "slide open combo boxes" untick "slide taskbar buttons" untick "smooth scroll list boxes" untick "use common tasks in folders" tick "use drop shadows for icons on the desktop" Ive searched pages and pages of reg tweaks at these forums, other forums, tweak sites ive found via google, and these are the only registry tweaks I cant find. If anyone know where they are, or can help me with the apps, it would be much appreciated Thanks! Colin-uk

Could anyone upload PEiD.exe for me, the site seems to be down (but not to rapidshare because i cant download from there) edit: nevermind, i got it from a google search, sorry for bumping
