edit:: go to this post for the working version and an added bonus http://board.MSFN.org/index.php?showtopic=...=10entry64339 !!!! this post doesnt work see link above for the working version!!!! save this in your $OEM$\$1\install folder as folders.inf and edit the [strings] to your preference.. make sure you create the folders [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] AddReg=Reg.Settings [Reg.Settings] HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,Personal,0x20000,"%PERSONAL%" HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,My Pictures,0x20000,"%PICTURES%" HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders,favorites,0x20000,"%FAVORITES%" [Strings] PERSONAL="D:\\Numinous\My Documents" PICTURES="D:\\Numinous\My Documents\My Pictures" FAVORITES="D:\\Numinous\Favorites" add this to the top of your main_batch.cmd ECHO. ECHO Redirecting folders... RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\install\folders.inf if you want to use it right away right-click folders.inf and select install then reboot

nope.. mine works ..tried and tested good luck

yep remove the \ ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings" not ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\" or remove the whole thing.. isnt changing anything

cant see anything ..heres mine ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes [Unattended] DUDisable=Yes Hibernation=No KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom" OemPreinstall=Yes OemSkipEula=Yes Repartition=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=85 OEMSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=REMOVED FullName="Numinous" OrgName="Numinous" ComputerName=NUM001 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language=00000809 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] AccessOpt=Off AutoUpdate=Off Clipbook=Off Deskpaper=Off Dialer=Off Freecell=Off Hearts=Off Hypertrm=Off Media_clips=Off Media_utopia=Off Minesweeper=Off Mousepoint=Off Msnexplr=Off Paint=Off Pinball=Off Rec=Off Solitaire=Off Spider=Off Templates=Off WMAccess=Off Zonegames=Off [Shell] DefaultStartPanelOff=Yes DefaultThemesOff=Yes [PCHealth] ER_Display_UI=1 ER_Enable_Reporting=0 RA_AllowToGetHelp=0 RA_AllowUnsolicited=0 [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\main_batch.cmd %systemdrive%\install\hotfixes.cmd %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd maybe the ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\" is doing it .. isnt changing anything and i dont think it has a \ on the end i.e ProfilesDir="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings"

heres a way of having winpe and winxp on one cd.. may work for win2k aswell make a folder called wn2k, copy your distribution folders into it, edit the setupldr.bin in i386 folder with a hex editor and change all instances of i386 to wn2k.. works 100% for winpe.. youll need a multiboot to select which you want to run

not sure how this works but heres the reg states for open each folder in the same window [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] "Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,1a,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00 and open each folder in its own window [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] "Settings"=hex:0c,00,02,00,3a,01,e7,77,60,00,00,00 obviously the other bits refer to other settings :/ best thing to do is set your settings and take a snapshot of this key

browse the hivedef.inf in i386 folder <--- forget this see next post

no need managed to move the complete Documents and Settings folder by changing this variable in hivesft.inf DEFAULT_PROFILES_DIR="D:\Documents and Settings" tried, tested, works phew!! oh well lol im guessing this has the same effect as [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\" pmsl i havent completely forgotten reg files greenmachine.. some things just cant be done in the hives.. i think not sure ..im scraping the sedement at the bottom of the barrel

works for U_SHELL_FOLDERS_MYPICTURES="D:\Numinous\My Documents\My Pictures" but not for U_SHELL_FOLDERS_PERSONAL="D:\Numinous\My Documents" U_SHELL_FOLDERS_FAVORITES="D:\Numinous\Favorites" im lost

i new i shoulda stuck with the admin account lol ill try it

help needed redirecting folders in hives.. im sure it has something to do with when creating a new user and the %USERPROFILE% variable.. or maybe i done something wrong somewhere

dave not sure if its as straight forward as i first thought for redirecting folders in hives.. im sure it has something to do with when u create a new user and the %USERPROFILE% variable

i ran into a prob getting folders redirected

sorry devil i cant resist a laugh if it was just a bit of fun.. why did you feel the need to come into the 'reg hacks a thing of the past' topic and blast my topic title ..revenge springs to mind.. just a bit of fun matey

ok tried tested but didnt work for redirecting the folders.. ill get it right all other tweaks worked

comes back on when u want the alternatives.. exactly the same functionality but reversed dont worry!! it wont damage your hardware!! its a registry hack.. try it then thank me for all the curses ive saved you from

fancy some custom texts?? ..change some variables heres some:: HIDGAME_DFTDEVB="play with my 6-button joystick baby" THATCHES="Dont Like a thatch ..shave it babe.. go for a brazilian" INTERSITE_MESSAGING_DESCRIPTION="Leave this service on automatic startup.. popup heaven baby" MODEM="Broadbands far more rhobunscious!!" PROGRAM_ERROR="Huh??? cockaroach" pmsl

some info that may come in handy HKCU,"Control Panel\Desktop","Wallpaper",0x00000000,"%NONE%" breaks down to rootkey, [subkey], [value], [flags], [data] rootkey This is the root key containing the key or value you're modifying. Use the abbreviations HKCR, HKCU, HKLM, or HKU. subkey This is the subkey to create or the subkey in which to add or change a value. This is optional. If missing, all operations are on the root key. value This is the name of the value to create or modify if it exists. This value is optional. If value is omitted and the flags and data parameters are given, operations are on the key's default value. If value, flags, and data are omitted, you're adding a subkey. flags 0x00000000 Value is REG_SZ. This is the default if you omit flags. 0x00000001 Value is REG_BINARY 0x00010000 Value is REG_MULTI_SZ 0x00020000 Value is REG_EXPAND_SZ 0x00010001 Value is REG_DWORD 0x00020001 Value is REG_NONE 0x00000002 Don't overwrite existing keys and values. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. 0x00000004 Delete subkey from the registry, or delete value from subkey. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. 0x00000008 Append data to value. This flag is valid only if value is REG_MULTI_SZ. The string data is not appended if it already exists. Combine this flag with 0x00010000 by ORing them together. 0x00000010 Create subkey, but ignore value and data if specified. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. 0x00000020 Set value only if it already exists. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. 0x00001000 Make the specified change in the 64−bit registry. If not specified, the change is made to the native registry. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. 0x00004000 Make the specified change in the 32−bit registry. If not specified, the change is made to the native registry. Combine this flag with others by ORing them together. data This is the data to write to value. If the value doesn't exist, the Setup API creates it; if the value exists, the API overwrites it; if the value is REG_MULTI_SZ and you set the 0x00010008 flag, the API adds the value to the existing string list. If you omit data, the Setup API creates the value without setting it.

give it a try.. works on microsofts ..i know what your saying aaron.. too **** annoying.. im guessing it wont work though and may screw up your keyboards layout.. make sure you back up your regkey first!!

use a hex editor and change every bit until you find the right one ..may take a while or maybe cross your fingers and take a guess.. got more chance of winning the lottery though

not yet ..thanks for the link

dah dont do it den lol ..if you got nothing interesting to say valkyre please dont say it.. some people

yep i think this needs to be done from a reg file!! [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,19,00,00,00,3b,00,3b,e0,3c,00,08,e0,\ 3d,00,07,e0,3e,00,3e,e0,3f,00,3f,e0,40,00,40,e0,41,00,41,e0,42,00,42,e0,43,\ 00,43,e0,44,00,23,e0,57,00,57,e0,58,00,58,e0,3b,e0,3b,00,08,e0,3c,00,07,e0,\ 3d,00,3e,e0,3e,00,3f,e0,3f,00,40,e0,40,00,41,e0,41,00,42,e0,42,00,43,e0,43,\ 00,23,e0,44,00,57,e0,57,00,58,e0,58,00,00,00,00,00 it flips the f locks default to on.. need a restart before itll work.. the light stays off on boot btw.. if you want the alt fkeys.. turn flock on ..how it should be if you ask me

yay HKCU,"Control Panel\Keyboard","InitialKeyboardIndicators",0x00000002,"2" numlock on after setups complete ..at last.. so annoying
