First, which toolbar do you want to remove? Second, I doubt that Windows Explorer and IE use separate settings for toolbars, so disabling in one WILL affect the other. If it is "View >> Toolbars >> Standard Buttons" that you want to remove, a regshot compare _might_ be useful. I noticed that this was the registry key to particularly note - "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\Explorer\ITBarLayout". Though I'm not sure, which is why I'm leaving with this suggestion.

What program does it use to open the HTM? You need to see what browser you've set to open HTML files, and if you haven't changed the defaults, it most likely is opening in Internet Explorer. So, the next line after the setup.exe is done, can be this: taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exeThat is to kill the IE process, and will work if this is on winXP pro. If you're doing this on winXP home edition, or win2k instead, you need to download a 3rd party tool to do this (like pskill from SysInternals.com).

Hallo busb, Welcome to MSFN forums Your previous post has been answered now. As for why it went unanswered, maybe it was just missed out, in all the numbers of posts that keep being made, lol. Enjoy!

Yes, you can do whatever is possible with retail CDs using upgrade copies as well. The settings put in the winnt.sif will indeed be used even with an upgrade CD. Just remember to boot-up from the CD, and do a clean-install (formatting C:\ drive). Yes, you'd be asked for your qualifying media - after that, its all the same. Just to be sure, here are the settings which would be important in your case (incidentally, setupmgr doesn't deal with these settings, has to be done manually by yourself): [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=whatever-you-choose Repartition=No FileSystem=* ProgramFilesDir="D:\My Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="D:\My Program Files\My Common Files" [GuiUnattended] ProfilesDir="D:\Documents and Settings\"Those are to be in the winnt.sif. You can add more values to the winnt.sif, the above is just an illustration of what is especially needed to you (of course, you might already know the above). Hoping this helps...

@neotron Its the same switches for NVE as well. "/SILENT /NO_UI /NOCANCEL /NOREBOOT"

Since you already have the driver file INF, you can directly replace the unnecessary older drivers in the driver CABs of windows installation source. This is just an outline, you'll need to explore the method yourself.... nLite allows you to merge the DRIVER.CAB and SP2.CAB. To do this, it first extracts the contents of both CABs to a folder. What you can do is to replace the original older INFs in the folder with your updated driver INF (and associated files). I've successfully done this with the nVidia drivers. The added benefit of doing this, is that you don't have to have 2 copies of the same driver (one old, one new), and that it is compressed too.

Yes, as jbm said, you'll get pretty much all the regtweaks you need from this stickied topic - Registry Tweaks And as for the first one: (Enable);--Display file size information in folder tips ;Add Attributes To Tiles & Infotip For Files [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*] "TileInfo"="prop:Type;Size;Attributes" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*] "InfoTip"="prop:Type;Size;DocComments;Attributes" ;Add Attributes To Tiles & Infotip For Folders [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder] "TileInfo"="prop:Size;Attributes" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory] "InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Attributes"That what you want? You can customize it - for example, "InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Attributes"can become "InfoTip"="prop:DocComments;Size;Attributes" Hoping this helps....

*moving thread out of nLite forum (since it has wider application)

Heck, just leave the XML creator out.... We want XPlode2 NOW!!!!!

Talking of msgina.dll.... Open it up in Res-hack, and browse to ">> Dialog >> 2210 >> 1033". That's supposedly one of the options while shutting down. This funny has been around since XP SP2 beta1 (atleast that's when I noticed it). LOL

Sorry, but no need to re-activate this ancient thread. This is a link to the gmail offers thread - who wants gmail?

Ha ha...Ain't it interesting we had this thing posted on MSFN some months ago... quoting from this topic - link ---etcetera, etcetera - please click the link for seeing full post

Nice tweak. But this clutters up the right-click menu - too many options. These can be done in another way too - by having these options available from the "SendTo" sub-menu of right-click, instead.

Hmm... there's a slight thing that has been not noticed: Searching for "open office" (in lower-case, and with the spacing) would have given results. That screen-shot is of the google search. And.... No, the google search bar was not the one I was referring to.... sorry I should have explained. 1. At the top of the forums page, there's the MSFN logo... 2. Just below it, is a tool-bar... (with links to "msfn home", rules, help, search, etc.) 3. The "Search" in that tool-bar is what is normally referred to. 4. In other words, please see the top-right corner of the page, for the link to the search function. And.... here's the link to the search for "open office" through that - the forum's own search Hoping this helps....

@sven No, it doesn't always pop-up. The entire issue of the Security Center showing up has been blown up to look like a HUGE problem, when all its doing is protecting the user. Personally, I use the windows firewall itself. So the WSC (Windows Security Center) doesn't bug me about turning on the firewall. Second, since I turn off Automatic Updates, it bugs me. Third, since NAV2002 is not tying in to the WSC, again I get bugged with notifications telling me to "use an anti-virus". So I suppose even I'm doing what you're asking: I have the WSC on - so that it tells me if there's any problem. But since I KNOW (come on, I disabled the auto-update myself, so there's no logic in the WSC popping up and telling me that its disabled, lol) that auto-update and NAV are fine to not be notified about, I set those notifications ALONE to be off: ; Disable irritating Security Center notifications [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center] "AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001 "UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001I apply it at first-logon through my regtweaks.reg, and it auto-reboots after that (the recommended thing, according to the guide). And with this setup (as I've described above), I've never been bothered by the WSC. So, that way, safety is also present, and unnecessary nonsense is eliminated as well. Hoping this helps....

Hehe.... interesting:

The nF3-based MoBo above would positively be the best. (off-topic : why the Athlon-FX + registered mem, when an Athlon64 and normal RAM will do just fine... Moreover, since Athlon64 will be cheaper, you get the freedom to spend more on better speed/quality RAM, and higher-speed processor)

1. This can make your system unstable. 2. If you DO want to go ahead with it anyway, here's a pointer: RunDll32.exe SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall.ntx86 132 %systemdrive%\drivers\nF\AudioUtl\nvautils.infThat command used to work with the nForce audio driver INF. Of course, no guarantees it will work, and if it messes up your install - you might have only the re-install option left to call on.

Its some CLSID path, in the HKCU - details available in the Registry Tweaks thread. To be certain about it, what version of windows is this about? And do you just intend to remove this IE shortcut on desktop alone, or do you plan to altogether not have links to IE on your installed windows - if you're on win2k/XP, you can use the simpler route (IEaccess=off in [Components]).

Yes, could have been corrupted somewhere along the way. I found that UltraISO was corrupting files when building an ISO with optimize turned on. But not seen anything of that distortion with cdimage.exe - so far. But since there's no official source for cdimage, maybe the one you downloaded is problematic in some way....

So that explains it.... I've not even even been able to login to it - seeing others rave about it! So more people are seeing this (no login) too.... good! (yeah, sadism, ).

Even the purpose of that entry is not known for sure. So whether it works or not, is a moot point.Most people just put both (driver-signing, and non-driver-signing) values into their winnt.sif just to be sure - and even then, it seems to work for some and not work for others.

Oh my... spamming on such a scale! Ok well.... for ninnox - this is where you can download SmartBarXP from: home-page And its nice - that's undeniable. But it does get boring after some days, when the novelty of it wears off.

Well, that's what it is meant for - To make the runonce keys be processed right then and there. Makes it simpler, isn't it? You can make your runonceex.cmd run at first-logon, and directly import it to registry and "shake" it to make it execute also, right then and there. It might look odd to you at first, but after learning it, you'll find that its actually easier. Whatever registry keys you are adding AFTER the "rundll blah-blah" command will stay on in the registry, and get executed after a re-boot, just as you are used to. Basically, you can use the command to run "phases" of your RunOnce-based install. For example: - import all your hotfixes keys, then get them executed using the command - then import for apps, and then execute - then import for fun/multimedia tools, execute - then you can run the cleanup DIRECTLY from that CMD itself, instead of scheduling it to happen thru runonce method - then import the next set of keys, which you want to run at next reboot (which is what you want at the end - a second time run of runonceEx; but while doing so, you're also making the process happen a bit cleaner).
