Ehm... I guess it would be possible... But I don't know if it's possible to also back-up the required reg entries... Taking a quick look on it... EDIT:All fonts are located in %windir%\Fonts, you can try to find all required commands if you want to. Note: uncompressed it's +13 MB for me, compressed it's only 4.64 MB (if you would want to compress it)

oh forgot that one (I have almost no documents, favorites are included within Firefox)

The update is complete. But before I'll upload it, I want to update the installation instructions: a complete rewrite, with a SUPERB installation method, invented by Serialzs and Pyron, probably with the help of many others. You can find this guide here. Thanks to this method I won't have to try to get the OemPnPDriversPath as short as possible! That's why I'll rename every folder to a better (LONGER) name. Then you will have two choices: 1. [uniform UXPCD = as much drivers as possible] We'll be using the guide mentioned above and you will only have to copy DriverPack_????.7z to implement it. 2. [Regular UXPCD = the required drivers only] It will be very easy to pick out the drivers (i.e. folders) you need from my driverpack. The update will come soon (also RyanVM's driverpack will come very soon!)

Hmmm... Strange I didn't get this version.. I'll add it to the update..

Hi, because I often (have to) reinstall Windows, I wanted to have a way to easily back-up and restore my most important settings. (especially Firefox and Thunderbird) so I started to make batch files to make this possible. After some testing it seemed it works just fine! I tought some(one) of you might want to do this too, so I'll post those batch files here. If anyone got some additions, please post them, so I can add them. At the end we might have a back-up program that works for everyone! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm using several partitions, and I'm using one of them to store all my settings.

Recently I've upgraded my computer and I bought a NEC 2500. (great burner, very silent) note: Normally a 2500 burns at 4 speed. But it seems my already has a hacked/upgraded firmware: I can burn at 6 or 8 speed without any problems!

Yes there is!

I edited his first post, but I couldn't _translate_ the last sentence to understandable English... 1. Search in Device Drivers forum 2. see 1 3. try to figure out what installer it is (probably you'll want to use setup.exe -R to create a setup.iss file) 4. see 1 5. Download my DriverPack LAN (see my sig) Don't be that lazy!

Already an update! I'll update it ASAP...

Thanks, works like a charm (never used before btw, let's see if it's good )

Nice tool! Added to my collection

ROFL

You can buy an external USB floppy drive.

I think it would be easier to simply use two different CD's...

No need to feel dumb... nobody is perfect... EDIT: Now Im teh one whose feelin dum

Well, here it works just fine... :s Anyone else having trouble with this?

True, but your method doesn't support archives (which save alot of space) No offense! Your method is also very good (but slightly different purposes)

Nice work! But as SiMoNsAyS said, could you also make a version where the girl wears a bikini? Cuz if my dad would see my desktop

Thanks to serialzs there isn't a limit anymore! link grtz, Bâshrat the Sneaky

Topic is pinned!

Why don't you just install Windows while your printer is turned on? Then Windows _should_ recognize and install it. (Although I haven't tested it myself yet)

Indeed, please explain. Also tell us how/where did you get those switches?

Indeed! It's very easy, just follow the instructions and you're done!

Must admit it dosent work for me. thats why i had to download the 7zip can i just add @ Bâshrat the Sneaky the driver packs you have done are simply world class. made me think about doing one for modems but i guess that would be massive! I'll take care of that one too maybe! But Extract.cmd doesn't work for you??? :s impossible! Testing it at the moment... EDIT: I know what the problem is You only got to download the new version, in the first one there was indeed this bug...
