Is there any way to add commands to the shutdown process when using the Shutdown button on the Start Menu? I have this horribly coded piece of software from Kodak that stops the shutdown and logoff process if it's running in the background. When you press the Shutdown or Logoff buttons in the start menu, the process begins and Windows starts closing processes but when it gets to this one process it just stops and goes back to the desktop. If you manually kill the process then the PC can shutdown normally. I have created a batch file to kill the process and then use the shutdown.exe command to logoff or shutdown but I hate to ask my users to use a shortcut on the desktop to logoff or shutdown. I would rather be able to add a taskkill command in the shutdown/logoff process to enable them to work seemlessly. Any ideas? I haven't been able to find anything in the registry so I think the buttons on the start menu are hard coded in a DLL. If that's the case then I'm out of luck, but I thought I would try here first. Thanks in advance.

I've been working on this most of the day. This is the order I've tried and still don't have it working right: Slipstream SP3 into SP2 media OnePiece_IE7AddOn_2.1.0_ENU_Only_for_SP3.7z xable_WGAV-v1.3_addon.cab Made ISO and tested ok. Shows .NET, Root Cert Update, WMP11, and April Malicious Software Update on Windows Update site. Ran Booggy's WMP11 Slipstreamer on source. Made ISO again and tested. OOBE fails to run at startup. On first login with Admin account when trying to configure WMP it errors on registering a file. Default Windows profile does not load correctly and no access to internet and no links to IE on the startup menu. Well I guess back to the drawing board.

I am trying to create a DVD with application installs using WPI. I have copied all the CDs to indiviual directories in the Install directory. I currently am calling all the setup programs by using the following: cmd /c start /b notepad.exe serial.txt (as needed) cmd /c start /wait /b "Program" I am not wanting to have the programs install silently as I have different registration info for the different PCs that I install the software on. My question is, is this the best way to be doing this or is there a more streamlined way to get this done? Any help would be greatly appretiated. Chris
