Ditto for me, error confirmed.

Thanks for the review, Yzöwl, looks promising.

Dаmn it, you're absolutely right: As %ProgramFiles% is set to Programme in my development environment, I didn't take account of the whitespace. Try this (untested): […] Start /wait "%Ff%" -install-global-extension %%~dpx%%x […] It's merely quick'n dirty, there should be a more elegant solution, though.

This one's more flexible: @echo off &setlocal EnableExtensions For /f "tokens=3" %%? in ('reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.5\bin" /v PathToExe') Do If errorlevel 0 Set Ff=%%? If "%Ff%"=="" Goto :EOF For /f %%x in ('dir /b/on *.xpi 2^>^nul') Do ( Start /wait %Ff% -install-global-extension %%~dpx%%x ) endlocal Just throw your extensions in some folder and launch this script, let's call it FfExts.cmd. Worked fine for me so far.

I'm doing it like this: On Error Resume Next ' Our variables here Dim fs : set fs = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject") Dim WSH : set WSH= WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Dim AUProgs: AUProgs= WSH.SpecialFolders("AllUsersPrograms") ' Create shortcut within %ProgramFiles%\Packer\WinRAR (existing folder) LinkIt AUProgs & "\Packer\WinRAR 3.51.lnk", "", "", _ "%ProgramFiles%\Packer\WinRAR\Themes\WinRAR_Gorilla_32x32\RAR.ico,0", _ "%ProgramFiles%\Packer\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe", "" WScript.Quit Sub LinkIt(lnkObj, strArgs, strDscr, strIcon, strProg, strWDir) Dim oLnk : set oLnk = WSH.CreateShortcut(lnkObj) oLnk.Arguments = strArgs oLnk.Description = strDscr oLnk.IconLocation= strIcon oLnk.TargetPath = strProg oLnk.WorkingDirectory= strWDir oLnk.Save End Sub Just replace "\Packer" with nothing (i.e. delete it) or kompressorer or however compression progs are called in Norwegian. HTH

Do you happen to understand German? If so you could make use of this tutorial.

That would result in no hyphens being displayed at all, therefore "Change My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name MSFN Forums" instead of "Change My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name - MSFN Forums". That's not what I want. "Hard solution"? C'mon Coders—go for it!

This error is no individual case... just got it too: nLite crashed while re-compressing some data. P.S.: I'm using the silent updated RC7 if this does matter. Edit: Seems that this behaviour is not permanent. My next attempt completed normally.

Well, that ain't the point here! The original poster wants to know how he could prevent two annoying items from showing up. Unfortunately, I don't have any news for him. Playing around with Resource Hacker, I found two possible places within browselc.dll for the first item: Menu › 263 › 1031 Menu › 266 › 1031 (With the grey value being language specific.) The item's definition is in line 92. However, by removing that line, the explorer's menu will collapse.

Many ways lead to Rome if you intend to change the “customizable” part of this text. I found one for Resource Hacker altering browselc.dll. However, it doesn't offer me a solution: The title bar should merely show a site's headline and nothing else! Making Window Title in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main a nullstring ("") will result in something like See the redundant string “ -” at the end? How do I prevent it?

No one? Just found out that update.microsoft.com doesn't recognize your IE when having modified the navigator.userAgent string. Best would be a switching function similar to the Firefox extension User Agent Switcher. Does anybody have a clue how to implement this?

This badly needs an update. However, I assume, MSFN forum searching via plugin isn't feasible any longer. How should one handle the login condition?

@LaptoniC: Please read this post of mine. Regards

Nice, however in need of improvement, I think. Tried to create a (dummy) user foo (no surename), didn't work. No fields are supposed to remain empty, that's why.

Appreciate your work very much! Keep it up! Just out of curiosity, are there already registry tweaks out for Nero 7? Things like, you know, real write speed and such...?

Unfortunately, Silence of the Foxes 1.0 is but of little benefit to me. I did several attempts, editing the ini file and such... however, the probs remain. First to say, I'm using a localized version of both Windows XP (up to date) and Firefox 1.5.0.1. For testing purposes I did a fresh new install of Firefox, customizing it meticulously the way I want it to be. I included the following components (no themes yet): Plugins Macromedia Authorware Web Player 2004 Macromedia Flash 8.0 r24 Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.1.016 Extensions (partly localized) Adblock Plus 0.5.11.3 CustomizeGoogle[de] 0.45 FlagFox II[de] 2.3.4 Nuke Anything Enhanced 0.53 Pearl Crescent Page Saver[de] 1.0 Plain Text Links[de] 0.2 PrefButtons[de] 0.3.4 User Agent Switcher[de] 0.6.8 Customization bookmarks.html hostperm.1 localstore.rdf prefs.js search.rdf userChrome.css userContent.css Red items do pose problems: Both Shockwave Player and my extensions are missing when using my SoF generated setup. The files userChrome.css and userContent.css are not treated correctly since they reside in a subfolder (this doesn't seem to be supported in SoF yet). I tried adding them manually ProfileFiles=bookmarks.html, […] ,chrome\userChrome.css,chrome\userContent.css That way they're included, but put in the profile folder, not a subfolder chrome. Another point I'd like to mention: When installing the customized Firefox installer the exact profile's path is restored, for instance %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\o6ivw2mr.default and the original profile.ini, respectively. However, doing an unattended Firefox installation, I usually copy this profile.ini in $OEM$\$Docs\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox: [General] StartWithLastProfile=0 [Profile0] Name=Sysprofile IsRelative=0 Path=C:\Programs\Net\Firefox\profile Default=1 Therefore, one system wide profile is written within %ProgramFiles%\Net\Firefox\profile (YMMV). A program option for this would be quite convenient. Last, not least, I never ever use the default path for Firefox (or Thunderbird), instead I choose %ProgramFiles%\Net\Firefox. An option to modify the application path would be handy, too.

You want to separate boot from root? I'm not sure if this is still possible (messed around with this six years ago) or have ever been possible in conjunction with setup automation.

Neat, where do I get this oemlogo bitmap?

What about the other way round? I'd like to add an icon to one context menu item, it's the well known CMD Here command. I tried adding a subkey DefaultIcon with the default value targeting to the cmd.exe file but no effect. Any ideas?

BTW, it would be even better to handle this per add-on, for simply switching it on and off. Are there any Windows programming dudes out there? Maybe a BHO, registry patch ... Any suggestions?

You're right concerning the file and the pattern's location. Did you try to remove the particular item? I just gave it a try, as a result many other items (from File to ?) were gone and/or re-sorted. (For instance, the only remaining item within Help is the Help and Support Center, Info has disappeared.) What are the necessary steps to remove Is this a legal copy of Windows? exclusively? EDIT: That's weird, I noticed that this hack didn't entirely remove the M$ nag item. It seems to do the trick (including the described consequences) for the tree view pane merely, clicking in the folder view pane, everything's unchanged. What the heck!?

Thanks, it works like a charm. In order to avoid the string "SV1" appended sometimes, it may be necessary to delete the (empty) entry "SV1" under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform. Looking forward to fool some shіtty browser gates/detection scripts ...

Hi! I'm seeking a way to alter/customize the IE's navigator.userAgent string. Comparable to Firefox extensions like User Agent Switcher, I'd like to change the underlined string: It should read: Mozilla/4.0 (incapable; IE6SP2; Windows NT 5.1) Which system resource do I have to hack (and how)? Or could this be done by simply editing the registry?

I merely managed to hide¹ it (one may do this during the installation), dunno whether it's possible to simply change the image. (It's feasible for IE, though.) Maybe using a tool like Resource Hacker, Resource Tuner or Restorator 2006. Some sort of guide would be nice! ¹ Works except for "kiosk mode" <F11>

It's a neat and simple way to do it, thanks. However, I'd really like to get rid of the mandatory hyphen between site title and the customizable text (“ ”), which may be set by your tool (cf. attached screenshot). Do you know how this can be done?
