[[Question] Replacing Windows XP system files with other windows versio]

hey everyone,

I've read on a few topics that people replace their Windows XP system files, as other operating system files are more efficient or don't have as many security flaws.

If someone could give me a link to a very relevent topic or even tell me what files are best be replaced then please go ahead!

I have copies of all Windows versions, so getting the files is not a problem.

Title edited -- Please, use [TAGS] in your topic's title.

[[Question] How to password a dir or block it from searches?]

If say I set up a new user called ...

Bob, and set it with a password as Bob2one

Then, could i deny all access to all users on a directory. And only allow access for bob...

Logon as another user and if i try to access that directory, have a userlogin box popup to allow me to enter Bob's details?

[Windows Directory in lowercase]

In the interests of tidiness, I prefer the first person singular pronoun to be capitalized, and English vocabulary to be used as opposed to abbreviations.

Precisely how I’d like it...

Obviously I’m not that bothered about this, but would be nice to have it all tidy.

[Windows Directory in lowercase]

Is it possible to make an unattended installation to create the windows directory using lower caps?

I've tried "Windows" in the winnt.sif, didn't work.

[Start menu still popping up on first boot!]

i'l give that a go, I've got a near perfect cd done, its just these last problems that keep haunting me... grrr!

[Start menu still popping up on first boot!]

The Start menu still popping up on first boot, despite me having this in my reg file...

; DISABLE Start Menu Popping Up on First Boot
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002
"StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000000

Where am I going wrong?

[Console (cmd.exe): Backspace Key doesn't work anymore!]

Its a registry tweak you importet...

[Calling a reg file from cmdlines.txt]

OK cool, I've tested it using cmd.exe on a running version of Windows.

It seems to work with backslashs, so I'll try the UA disc ona test machine now.

Cheers.

[Calling a reg file from cmdlines.txt]

Its bizarre, as i call my .cmd file from a folder too.

this is my cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg"
"Batch Tweaks/RunOnceEx.cmd"

The RunOnceEx.cmd runs fine, but RegistryTweaks.reg doesn't work.

@Nepali

I can't see how posting whats in my .cmd file would be of any help.

[Calling a reg file from cmdlines.txt]

Hey, I want my cmdlines.txt file to call a registry file from a folder on the cd...

what code do i need to make this happen?

The reg file is called RegistryTweaks.reg and is located ina folder called "Registry Tweaks" within the $OEM$ folder on my UA CD.

"REGEDIT /s Registry Tweaks/RegistryTweaks.reg"

Doesnt work.

[[QUESTION] Windows Media Player Rip and Burn doesn't work...]

Why are people so negative when people ask for help...

My unattended disc is Media Center Edition, which includes Windows Media Player 10.

I've had a thought, if I have the reg tweak that disables Windows Native burning, could that effect the Media Players burning capabilities?

Cheers....

[[QUESTION] Windows Media Player Rip and Burn doesn't work...]

anyone?

[[QUESTION] How Do I add Security Tab to File Properties?]

I know I know... but for people who make unattended cds, the reg key maybe of some help to add to their reg tweak file!

I'll be adding it to my reg tweak file.

[[QUESTION] Windows Media Player Rip and Burn doesn't work...]

Windows Media Player Rip and Burn doesn't work...

Has any one else come across this problem?

This is the error I get when ever I attempt to burn or rip a disc...

Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error. This can occur when another program or operating system component encounters a problem but does not communicate the nature of the problem to the Player.

Please help!

[[QUESTION] How Do I add Security Tab to File Properties?]

Wicked! Cheers fellas... had a horible feeling you'd say it wasn't possible.

I tracked down the registry setting using RegShot too...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"forceguest"=dword:00000000

[[QUESTION] How Do I add Security Tab to File Properties?]

How Do I add Security Tab to File Properties?

When my machine is in safemode I can change security settings on folders and files.

But in normal mode that option is not available...

Surely theres a setting or reg tweak to enable it?

Cheers...
