blinkdt - Thanks for the FYI MCT - Well you don't get that little flicker from the command window. Hehe one of the few times autoit makes installs just a little cleaner. Well really MHz added in some code to his CMENU context menu utility that will actually convert most reg files to pure autoit scripts...which then you could convert into exe's so that you have a tad more security hidding important info contained in your reg files. Really at this point in the game I see no real reason to use cmd files at all and soon there won't be any need for vbs ether. There is so much more to autoit than silly install scripts like I have displayed in the autoit thread. Any thing you can currently do in a cmd file you can do in autoit...and autoit is far more flexable. Go to AutoIts actual forum and see some of the samples they have to show...it'll blow your mind.

Your welcome. Question...was 8.3 file names needed? I never did find out.

hmm its not silent...its automated. Well here is a more up to date version MHz made mention that it along with many other of my Stardock scripts need some TLC.

AutoIt should do the trick...just a matter of some one writing a script to do it is all.

I should have an AutoIt script for installing this application...not sure if it offered the options in which you are requiring...but you may with to check it out...and edit it as you see fit, in order to get your disired end results.

http://www.mlin.net/misc.shtml StartupSelector StartupSelector will save or load the Windows configuration data that causes programs to run at system startup. This allows you to easily switch between multiple startup configurations, for a myriad of potential purposes. PathCopyEx A very simple shell extension that copies the text path of any file/folder in Explorer to the clipboard. Saves a bit of time on all those annoying Browse for Folder windows! RegSvrEx A shell extension that provides convenient and quick registration for ActiveX DLLs and OCXs. A great tool for ActiveX developers - much more convenient than regsvr32! RdocEx A nifty shell add-on that adds the programs you run as well as the documents you open to your Recent Documents menu. StartXplorer Mirrors a directory with shortcuts. Allows you to create a kind of Explorer in your Start Menu. This is neat for building a shortcut mirror of your MP3 subdirectory in the Start Menu - you can play MP3s just as if you were starting a program. Taskbar Commander Only for the most eccentric of Windows users - lets you control the order that buttons appear on your taskbar. Alphabetize them, etc. Requires IE4+ with shell integration. Insert ToggleKey Ever accidentally turn on overtype, and as a result typed over half a sentence? ITK sounds a tone whenever you press Insert. MLHotKey Assign an activation hotkey to any top-level window - press the hotkey, and that window is instantly activated. WindowSizer Sets a given window to an exact size in pixels. Useful for web developers who want to see what their site will look like at various resolutions.

Well if I recall there should be a reg entry one can do for this...check the reg tweaks topic at the top of this forum.

I'll probably script some thing for this in the coming weeks with autoIt...figured I'd start doing more OS style scripting rather than installs, since I'm getting sick of always updating install scripts and I never get to the point where I have them all done. So check in the app's forum from time to time in the AutoIt thread, at some point it may show up in there.

geez I should have been slower on the draw.

Kapo give this early build a try...it'll need to be converted over to your native tongue..but in general should be good to go in many respects...not finished yet still working on the XP Menu options...and current user vars have no sane values...hehe it is a test build after all. Updated Beta...should in general do some thing useful at this point. Updated Again...added enabling additional bars...not really worth while at present since it just makes a mess. Working on being able to place the taskbar where ever one wants around the boardes of the desktop...shortly after that should come resizing of the taskbar, as well as moving and sizing of additional bars. Thats the plan thus far.

Well also with some installers the control ID give is not the right one...see this a lot with TEdit2 controls and the like. Also some times controls need focus before using any of the edit field commands...reguardless if its ControlSetText, ControlSend, or Send So my prefs are: 1st ControlSetText (fastest) 2nd ControlSend (better window control) 3rd Send (f*** it) So if you have a control that giving you grief try the following first..if changing controller ids doesn't work first. ControlFocus ( $title , "" , control_id ) ControlSetText ( $title , "" , control_id , "string" ) If that fails try ControlSend in much the same manner...really do try to avoid sending blind Send commands. My thoughts tho

http://w.depthstrike.com/bishiwallpapers/ http://www.boyis.com/ hehe that should take care of your needs.

Well you could try to edit my old script thats found here [link]

Well I use the retail version of this one...so can't say how the freeware build is...but might be of some interest to a few here. [Free Launch Bar]

Well most here I think are doing DVD's these days...and a few multi DVD collections...tho there are those that do multi CD as well...growing fewer in numbers since DVD writers are fairly cheap these days.

hmm well I just use this script...its for the current beta of the standard edition.

Must be that FireFox needs a little time to write its self to the registery as the default browser....all guess work of course.

hmm close...more like: Run("REGEDIT /S " & @homedrive & "\install\Reg.reg") How ever may need 8.3 file names??? Run("REGEDIT /S " & FileGetShortName ( @homedrive & "\install\Reg.reg" )) but thats just taking a guess.

I'd say the autoit thread and the switch's threads would be great places to gain an idea of what people are putting on thier disks.

Then instead of using controlclick use mouseclick...ie send the mouse over to do the job...just make sure you set it based off the window...and not the desktop.

Just use the AutoIT window Info tool to get the window names and control ID's...shouldn't be that bad of a deal to change the old script...most installers don't change that much....acutally surprised this one has.

Yeah there is a lot of dinking around to get things to work just right...and AutoIT isn't some magic genie...but it does go a long way to solve a lot of issues. As for your explorer issue...maybe show the status bar of the window and see if that changes...if so...you may have a way to key the script in to certain events. Do Sleep ( 100 ) $tatus = StatusbarGetText( "Internet Explorer" ) Until $tatus = "New Event #1" ControlSend ( "Internet Explorer", "", "", "{DOWN 3}" ) Do Sleep ( 100 ) $tatus = StatusbarGetText( "Internet Explorer" ) Until $tatus = "New Event #2" .... Well some thing along those lines.

Your suppose to use all the code listed above. To find you CD disk labeled "xpcd" you would invoke: _FindDrive( "CDROM" , "xpcd" ) Since the $name paramiter of the fuction is good for both looking for the title of the storage unit...or a file on the storage unit. The $type param....is for dictating what type of storage unit to search for. Values availabe are: "ALL", "CDROM", "REMOVABLE", "FIXED", "NETWORK", "RAMDISK", or "UNKNOWN"

Well don't know about silent....but how about automated.
