Nope. Just right-click/properties on the Wizard shortcut in start/progs/accessories/communication. B) Well, in fact version 0.1 was much more complicated and involved creating a shortuct to the wireless connection itself (since its GUID change from one install to the other), then using the neighboring networks assistant, and so on. In french we call that a gas plant (many pipes -> ugly). That was before I happened to come across this cute shortcut and asked its phone number. Love followed. Feedback appreciated.

Yes, I also got such issues starting about 10 days ago, when I changed a couple of things: - new update pack -unlikely to do any arm, - upgraded to ImgBurn 1.2 - much more plausible candidate. At first I suspected my CD-RW geting old and bought a new one but It did the same with a brand new one, although less often. The main problem to adress the issue is the lack of repeatability (random files not copied, etc.) I also roamed the forums last week about that and found another case on a french forum, and possibly another one on RyanVM's. Of course, all our problems may be different ones but this thread is a good idea so we might be able to circumcise the problem if more people report about it. So If there's no other candidate as for now, I'd ask if you also burned your image using ImgBurn 1.2 (1.1 was fine for me) I remember being able, for some files, to have setup copy them just by opening/closing the CD Drive tray. So to me, it looks rather like a burning issue. But I may be wrong. we need more info...

I can't beleive I'm the 1st one to post a reg tweak for that much needed piece of corporate software...

I edit my scripts with Notepad2 instead of notepad. I think it's a favorite on this site. Anyway, it has a convenient "convert -> OEM' function. It's not for the whole file, tho. You need first to select the text you want to convert (it took me a few minutes to understand that). That can't be your name!?! How would you say it? Anyway, as an accent artist, I'm baffled by these letters. I'll put them in my collection EDIT: my name in winnt.sif has 2 accents (éô) BUT winnt.sif is in plain ANSI and it works fine. I'd say that maybe your letters have no single byte (ASCII, ANSI or whatever) codes (mine have B)). That's why you would need double byte (unicode). And you say that windows setup can't stand a unicode version of winnt.sif... If I'm right, it looks like you may have to go arround by hacking the registry afterward...

Wait Babe, I've done it a few weeks ago. It's there although not very visible from the search engine.

And so I'll only be upset where necessary (in the interest of feelings tidiness).

That's strange. I've just done 2 installs (same computer) creating my admin at T12 but NOT deleting any owner and I DON'T have any owner showing-up later. Do you use an Autologon script ? If not, that may be the reason because I do (autologon to my account, regs additions just after the user creation at T12) and the Owner may be deleted at this time. Otherwise, I have no idea.

Very nice trick indeed. But due to the 'unregistering' problem, the whole thing is still unpractical. What is strange is that when uregistering by hand (regsvr32 /u), there is no such file locking. You can delete the dll right after. For now I'm just frustrated with this whole INF thing and I think it would be easier to have just a .cmd installer/uninstaller. An enhanced version of spiritpyre's Install.cmd with regs and files addition and deletion integrated. Right now, I'm busy on something else, but I may try to do it later if it's not done by someone else before.

@Dumpy Dooby Any progress in that direction? I'm almost in the same situation and like your plan!

Waou Delprat! I was about to say: 'Just type help at a cmd prompt', but your tip gives the same information in a much more readable form. I'll only have to remember the whole command line ... because I don't understand it in full

Well, I went back to my textbooks. Almost all(!) my knowledge of inf file originate in the inf file inside JDOE's CABTOOL installer, (of course, later I went to gosh's, msdn and so on) so thanks to him. And indeed, he uses succesfully the copyfiles section with no flag and the very DelDir stuff I used to delete the dir. I just copied on him. But for this, he does NOT use setupapi as an inf engine (or whatever it's called) for uninstalling. He uses advpack.dll which does the job fine with this syntax. I did not know the difference and replaced the later by the former, which broke the uninstaller. Well, it would have broke it if it was not already broken by the inf copying error and by something else which I am requesting help for solving: I can't manage to register/unregister the dlls using advpack.dll. I tried the normal (documented) syntax and a hacked one copied on the DelDirs section syntax. But with no result. Anyone knows something or a good documentation source about advpack.dll inf syntax? You may ask 'why not just use setupapi, then?' Well, uninstalling wise, I found a couple of issues (again, any help to solve them is welcome): -when unregistering the dll, it did not 'release' them so I couldn't delete them before next reboot. -no such directive to delete the installation dir (I guess that's what Delprat is talkin' about).

Well, my bad. And not only those but the inf file did not get copied correctly to the inf directory...So uninstall was anyway impossible (install works fine, btw). Dumb me, I changed something after the test... and that test was poorly done: only checking if the entry disapeared from 'Add/remove prog' control panel. I'm currently investigating that 'flag in [CopyAllFiles]' issue. Did not know about that before. Noob! If I use the [strings.localID] thing, I need to repeat ALL the strings (not only the localized ones) in ALL the localized sections. I though it would be clearer and easier to maintain by using different files. But this can be discussed. well, wait for my second try !

[Edit]I'm a bad programmer so those are currently in repair... Here are french and english version of an .inf installer/uninstaller for your extensions. It is easily customizable both for choosing the dll you want to use and for adapting it to other languages. Features: - copy the dlls in a folder inside 'Program Files' - register the selected dlls (default to all) - install custom strings for the toggle extensions - add ability to register/unregister any dll (right-click) (commands are localizable) - add a full uninstaller for the above features in the add/delete progs control panel. I tested it Ok on 2 machines but I'm an INF n00b so bug reports and improvement suggestions are welcome. For usage, please RTFM at the beginning of the file.

OK . I associated the noticing with the 'walking into' action, not with the bar itself, so it couldn't make any sense: for sure you're aware of what you're doing! Well, yes, maybe if you're very very blonde... Definitely the same kind of problem as with #2. but now i know better! Anyway, a last one: A very drunk guy happens to look outside of the window of the bar where he is, when a nun (the old style, dressed in full black from tip to toes) is passing by. The guy rush outside, catch-up with the nun and start to ... beat her just like a hooligan with his fists and feet until she soon fall down, moaning in pain. Then he stops, looks at her proudly and goes:"This time, Batman, I got you!".

Ryan, even a french update pack can be accessed from your site! Current (1.1.4a) version of Vier's adaptation of your pack is working fine. @ks_visa: use it with Ryan's integrator V1.1 and be sure to use advanced options (read vier's instructions). It works as well with the last version of nLite.

@DL Thank you so much for taking time to explain ... and test my blondeness Sorry, I was not clear enough, my question was not that much about what is funny in the jokes (priest/chield molester association jokes exist in french too) but rather HOW ('grammatically' or idiomatically) it works. #2: I understand much better YOUR putting: A priest and a child molester walk into a bar. Then a second person walks in. where the joke comes with 'second person' than Matt's: A priest, and a child malester walk in to a bar, and that was just the first guy. where he uses the rather undetermined (for me) that. I did not find the link from 'that' to the molester straight enough, especially beside 'the first guy'. But again, it's most probably just because of my poor mastering of the language. #3: I'm just starting to get it First, yes, i think I missed the second meaning of bar (which I knew). Second, I didn't know the meaning of 'to notice' as 'to issue a warning' (to others), although, dumb me, I knew the word 'notification'. I only knew the meaning similar to 'paying attention' (for oneself). Sorry, I should have googled (define:xxx) it earlier. Now I'm browner. #10 Yes, I got (and liked) it that way but then I was unsure because of the 2 others. Now, another joke: A group of friends are siting at a table in a bar. One of them is so drunk that he falls from his chair. His friends help him to sit back but soon he falls again. After 3 or 4 more tries, they just leave him on the floor and forget about him. Still very drunk, he wakes up, remembers his wife waiting for him and decides to go back home. He can't stand up so he just crawls out of the bar and then crawls in the street. Somehow he manages to open his door from the ground and crawls in the bedroom where his wife is sleeping. Without making too much noise, he undress (still on the floor) and slips in the bed unnoticed. So in the morning he his rather surprised to be waken up by his angry wife shouting at him: - "you were drunk again yesterday!" - "but how do you know? I didn't make any noise when coming back." - "How do I know? You left your wheelchair at the bar, you id***!" cheers.

I think you don't need any dll. Just adding the following lines to your regtweaks should be fine: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To] @="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To] @="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

Variation on the first one in the post: A guy sits at the bar and orders: "a whisky befor it starts". The bartender brings the drink and asks "what is about to start?". The guys doesn't reply, drinks straight and asks again: "another one before it starts". Same question but no answer. The thing goes again 2 or 3 more times before the bartender, worried about this strange customer and seeing him geting drunk, asks him for the payment. "There it starts" goes the guy. Sorry, i did not really get the jokes in post #2, #3 and perhaps #10. I suspect some hole in my knowledge of the english language (only your base are belong to us). I don't have any problem joking with priest/child molester nor blondes or penguins (anything in facts); it's just, I think, that i don't get the hidden meaning in the last phrase. I'd love if any native carred to explain.

some harsh googling about that key eventually led me to that page which looks like a good entry point (more links provided inside it) to understand what it is... ...But it does not look related to your quest

Does NOT removing them from users solves the problem ?

Don't you mind losing your OWN time, not talking about search tool users' one ??? You could have already solve your issue by YESTERDAY just by 0- going to the search form 1- typing "Quicklaunch" in the keywords textbox 2- selecting "All Forums" and "Search titles only" in the appropriate controls 3- hiting the search button. In the result page: - The FIRST thread is this putain useless poluting thread - The second is irrelevant to your quest - The 3rd is a FULL Tutorial about properly setting the quicklaunch tool bar using the registry, including position and size. Reading it in full you would understand that: -The 2 settings you're looking for are like the holy grail. -The key kindly provided by nmX.Memnoch is not what you think it is. -There is a reason why it does not change in your regshots. -There are proper ways to make it work. My back is not as lazy as your front. BTW, if you don't like the chocolate fire guard, give me your share.

Well at least in the command list window some texts (tab names, help tab, etc.) seem to be hard coded. They're not in the lang files so it's not The Black Cloud's responsibility. But that's not much (still critical ones !) so may I ask, Felix, if you have a 'great deal' of them, if you're using the right lang2.inf (there is still a dummy one in the original lang pack). Bravo les gars (ouais, allez les bleus ), Pro Install a bien évolué depuis la dernière fois que je l'ai vu. Mais y'a encore des textes à extraire pour traduction... Moi j'm'en fous, mais c'est pour les autres

but let us know !

The problem is that the 2 first one are special explorer elements. Reshack Explorer.exe and you'll find their info tips together with other (search, help, etc.) menu items tips in String Table #438 while the element titles (white text: Internet, Courrrier électronique) themselves are ALONE in the String Table #440. The light blue texts (the subtitles) are just the application names. So it looks like Explorer has a special feature for the 2 first ones but not for other.

Sorry to inquire about that, but are you using an English version of windows? If yes, I can't help. If no, you may need to localize the group name (Administrators) to your language. Type net localgroup to know about the exact spelling. Also, do you have any special reason to remove them from users?
