Hi I'm really interested to make a USB bootable on all systems especially the ones that can only run on USB drives configured for x64 or UEFI for now IM only using the Microsoft windows setup (x86) wim for running a script that uses imagex on those systems (the USB drive isn't recognized after boot, ..before Setup) My first question is: must I have to acquire a x64 boot wim for the process And if don't: What files do I need to include on the USB root, are they the ones found in "C:\Make_PE3\win7pe_x86\*" ? Or if I do need to build "C:\Make_PE3\win7pe_amd64\*" .. How do I populate it with needed files So Im really looking for hints on how to make this all work TIA

RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN','START PAGE', "REG_SZ", $strHome) checked ok REG_BINARY still not applying correctly.. looking..

$strHome = InputBox("HOmepage","Provide your chosen Homepage","https://www.google.com/") if $strHome == "" then Exit RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN", "START PAGE", "REG_SZ", "$strHome") RegWrite('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections','DefaultConnectionSettings',"REG_BINARY","3c000000110000000100000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000") $SED=(@ScriptDir & "\sed.exe") $path = EnvGet("USERPROFILE") & "\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences" If FileExists($Path) Then RunWait(@ComSpec & " /K " & '.\sed.exe -i "/invalidator/i \ \"homepage\": \"$strHome&\",\n\ \"homepage_is_newtabpage\": false," " '&$path&'', "", @SW_SHOW) EndIf I'm now trying to incorporate this into autoit but I'm having trouble with the command strings .. for the sed.exe command I'm using sed for windows .. the one with the RegWrite REG_BINARY it is aimed to tick off "automatically detect settings" in IE. but it is also adding none wanted digits to the proxy server settings from cmd it is adjusted correctly as so: REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" /f /v "DefaultConnectionSettings" /t REG_BINARY /d 3c000000110000000100000000000000000000000000000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"

I'm now looking for it to run this way where it will start /wait homepage.bat where there i can carry out commands my code syntax is of course incorrect Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")strHome = InputBox("Provide your chosen Homepage:", "Homepage", "http://www.google.com/")If strHome = "" Then Wscript.QuitEnd IfstrCommand = "%COMSPEC% /c "homepage.bat" "" & chr(34) & strHome & chr(34) & ""objShell.Run strCommandwas looking at gunsmokins example where i can start the vbs from cmd but i want the process to quit as soon as cancel is selected .. I too need the default address offered as in Yzöwls example i tried looking into it but couldn't get it work as needed

Hi, Im looking for something that will allow me to set a parameter for a batch job in a way so i can type something that will set a var and direct\call to batch job. Not from set /p but from a shell box. for instance a simple batch tool that will set homepage for the browser: I want it to perform in a way so that it will pop a shell box, saying "set home page to ___" and have a default parameter in it, as "www.google.com" but so i can type a different feed \address to it and then this calls or sets a %var% to the hidden batch job that will run for instance REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN" /V "START PAGE" /D "%1%" /F or REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\MAIN" /V "START PAGE" /D "%homepage_var%" /F the only emphasis is that it will redirect the parameter back to a batch job i suppose this can be achieved with vb script help and maybe some batch help thanks in advance
