When installing a printer thru the "Add new material" wizard, IE is opening the window "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 Privacy Statement". Do you know why ? Note that the wizard is automatically opened, and that I add the new printer with an AutoIt3 script.

Furthermore, if you cannot change the drive letter with MapDrive.cmd, have a look here. But MapDrive.cmd does everything automatically

I think that the system partition letter is assigned automaticaly during the Windows installation: it occurs when you select the target partition when the Windows installation is asking where to install the new system. So, if your partition is listed as the first one in the possible installation targets, it will automaticaly be assigned to C:. But I supposed this is not your case because your windows is already on G: (and you have only 2 HDD). I am nearly sure that under NTFS, the partition letters are kept in the partition itself (i.e. on the disk). So, a possible way (this has to be verified) is to install Windows on another partition ("another" = nor C:, nor G:), then modify the letter of the G: to C: (and before, C: to another one (see note below)); then install again Windows but on C: (= was G:). With this way, you do not need MapDrive.cmd. Note: But perhaps that Windows will not allow you to modify the letter of the boot drive (probably C: except changes in the BIOS). So, it will not be possible to change C: to xxx, and then, G: to C:

New version: Log files path added as optional parameter; so, MapDrive.cmd could be run in CMDLINES.TXT

YES but you should put CD /D %SystemDrive%\Tempor something like that in the very beginning of MapDrive.cmd (i.e. before the creation of the 1st temporary file). ps: I am busy to modify MapDrive.cmd to accept a third parameter to specify a path where the temporary files will be created Wait some days...

The log file instead (as an attached file) Pour au moins voir où t'as eu ce message d'erreur

Thanks a lot, Aaron, I will do that

That's what I did: and the CAB are not updated!

Here is a tool to automatize the creating of folders & shortcuts, especially in the Start Menu: :: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :: InstallFolders.cmd: Add, Move and Delete users specific folders and shortcuts. :: ------------------ :: :: Purpose: Add/Delete/Move shortcuts in the Start Menu, :: Add/Delete shortcuts on Desktop and in Quick Launch folders, Shortcuts, :: Cookies, SendTo, Favorites, Models,... :: (i.e. all under a user profile, :: or under the All Users profiles). :: :: Description: :: ----------- :: 1. All the folders and shortcuts under the Add\ sub-folder are created under :: "C:\Documents and Settings\ (in fact, under "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\.."). :: So, keep the same structure to put shortcuts in the Quick Launch bar,...: :: Add\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch :: Add\<user>\Favorites :: ... :: :: 2. InstallFolders.cmd scans the Move\<user>\ folder and try to find folders and :: shortcuts of same name in %DEFAULTPROFILE%\StartMenu\, %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\StartMenu\ :: and %USERPROFILE%\StartMenu\, and, if found, move these to the one :: specified in Move\<user>\. :: So, you can move a specific folder which is in the start menu of the :: current user (normally, Administrator) to the "All Users" start menu. :: If a folder somewhere under Move\ is empty, the whole folder is moved; :: otherwise, only the content of this folder (shortcuts) is moves. :: :: 3. InstallFolders.cmd scans the Delete\ folder; if an empty folder is found, :: the corresponding folder is deleted; otherwise, only the files : (normally, shortcuts) are deleted. :: :: Parameter: :: --------- :: 1. TRACE to display tons of informations; :: or TEST to display the actions that will be executed without executing them :: (TEST impies TRACE); :: or nothing. :: :: Why this program? :: ---------------- :: Because during unattended Windows installation, I wanted to reorder all of my :: shortcuts and folders in the GUI. :: :: How to use it? :: ------------- :: 1. Create the folder "InstallFolders" (for unattended Windows installation, :: it should be "$OEM$\$1\InstallFolders"). :: :: 1.1 Put this batch file into this folder. :: 1.2 Create the file "xxx.StartMenu" in the current folder where "xxx" is :: the name of the Start Menu (which is normally under :: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\"). :: :: 2. Under this folder, create the following structure : :: (Note: For Move, only "Start Menu" is allowed) :: InstallFolders\ :: Add\ or Move\ or \Delete :: Administrator\ or All Users\ or Default User\ or ... :: Application Data\ :: Microsoft\ :: Internet Explorer\ :: Quick Launch\ :: any shortcuts you want to be here :: Desktop :: any shortcuts and folders you want to be here :: Start Menu :: any shortcuts and folders you want to be here :: (this could be "Programs\Accessories\Communications\xxx.lnk") :: ... (other folders as Cookies,...) :: :: 2.1. Note that, for Add\, shortcuts should have a good target, icon path,..., :: so use %ProgramFiles% instead of absolute paths like "C:\Program Files\...". :: There is a SHORTCUTS.EXE DOS utility to do this. :: For Move\ and Delete\, only the name is used. :: 2.2. To create a shortcut to some special program, it is easier to copy the : exiting shortcut: it is the case with Msn Messenger, Paint Shop Pro,... :: 2.3. Some folders cannot be moved (i.e. Administration Tools) :: :: 3. For my unattended Windows installation, I call InstallFolders.cmd in REBOOT2.CMD :: after all of my applications are installed. :: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is an example of an extract of my InstallFolders\ folders (sorry for the length): InstallFolders | InstallFolders.cmd | +---Add | +---Administrateur | | +---Application Data | | | \---Microsoft | | | \---Internet Explorer | | | \---Quick Launch | | | Active Registry Monitor.lnk | | | Beyond Compare 2.lnk | | | Bloc-notes.lnk | | | Bureau.scf | | | Invite de commandes.lnk | | | Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9.lnk | | | KeyNote.lnk | | | Lecteur Windows Media.lnk | | | MSN Messenger 6.2.lnk | | | Nero Burning ROM.lnk | | | Panneau de configuration.lnk | | | PSPad editor.lnk | | | RegStudio.LNK | | | Siren.lnk | | | _XPCREATE 6_05.lnk | | | | | +---Bureau | | | Ad-Aware SE Personal.lnk | | | DefragAllVbs.bat.lnk | | | HijackThis Evaluation du log.url | | | HijackThis.lnk | | | IP2.lnk | | | ReBoot sur C.lnk | | | ReBoot sur D.lnk | | | Restauration du système.lnk | | | SpywareBlaster.lnk | | | Stop ReBoot.lnk | | | WNTIPCFG.lnk | | | | | +---Cookies | | | michel@autoitscript[1].txt | | | administrateur@autoitscript[1].txt | | | | | +---Favoris | | | \---Liens | | | | !Network tools.url | | | | Batch Files, Rexx, KiXtart, Perl, VBScript.url | | | | | | | +---BC | | | | BC Translation.url | | | | Forums.url | | | | | | | +---WinXP Unatt | | | | Hotfix Slipstream Guide.url | | | | | | | \---MSFN | | | !!

Mine is longer then yours

I used MUMPS only a few in the past, and I was impressed, but not as much as FORTH where you construct your own "instructions" (words)

No, only some accentuated characters were changed "é" to "Ú" not all "é" !!! XCOPY created such "Ú", but not MOVE: very very strange),...Why does DOS does not use ANSI characters ps: Thanx for the future bonus

DOES NOT WORK Create some of my folders with bad characters But creating an INI variable for CDIMAGE Command Line is still a bonus...

Thanks GM Perhaps some other programs will require also some options?

I think that an additional switch in XPCREATE.INI will be better, because -c use ANSI filenames versus OEM filenames from sourceworks

There is the part of XPCREATE.LOG (where 2 consecutive empty lines have been replaced by a single one): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 9:49:15 -- Creating ISO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CDIMAGE 2.47 CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Premastering Utility Copyright (C) Microsoft, 1993-2000.

XPCREATE does not supply the drivers, just the information needed to integrate the drivers, based on the drivers found in DRIVERSDIR.And I suppose that I have to modify WINNT.SIF by adding this? OEMPnPDriversPath="Drivers\3112;Drivers\3112r"as you said here EDIT: Yes, it works

Right thanks, i can see where you are getting at. Now i have seen such posts about installing on the second boot but cant for the life of me seem to find the via the search, and yeah i tired using "" and +'s and a combination of words.

You could execute all the CD program installation at next reboot by calling a batch that (1) will set %CDROM%, and (2) START /WAIT "Installing..." "%CDROM%\app.exe"

This thread is not dead you should see download cound which is increasing every day

New release of MapDrive.cmd On the system drive, create a DRIVE-.x for each letter x that you don't want to be assigned (= reserved letters for USB Key,...). See the first post of this thread to download the batch file. ps: Sorry, but I don't receive the tracking email from this post , so, I don't see new email in my pop3 box...

If I add my own drivers, there should be no need to write DOSATA=YES in XPCREATE.IN because this line tells XPCREATE do add its own drivers

I have a "Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller": * Should I put the drivers in DRIVERDIR and modify the OEMPnPDriversPath setting in WINNT.SIF with DOPATH=NO (YES for XP to modify itself the OEMPnPDriversPath setting in WINNT.SIF) DOSATA=NO DRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS * Or should I not put the drivers in DRIVERDIR and DOPATH=NO DOSATA=YES DRIVERDIR=$OEM$\$1\DRIVERS XPCREATE supports this controller, so, I'm not sure that I have to put the drivers in DRIVERDIR I suppose that: * DOPATH is only used when I give the drivers and want XPCREATE to modify my WINNY.SIF, and * DRIVERDIR is only used when I give my drivers. * DOSATA is only used when XPCREATE use its own drivers (XPCREATE.CAB) Is that correct?
