Yes, its possible, I've done it. Needs a fair bit of effort though. There's a topic about this already right here - try searching.

CascadeMyDocuments doesn't work for me
prathapml replied to Dobby's topic in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks
Is that all? Well, my taskbar is double height because I had enabled large icons for that toolbar, plus its nice to have the double-height because more windows can be accommodated easily (at high resolutions a double-height taskbar works perfectly good).It is all totally configurable according to your likes. And yes, its all about personal taste (and functionality ). Whatever you are happy with is fine. -
He wanted a free app to do it. PDF factory there, is only a trial download.

Wasn't there such a CD available for orders, just around the time the threat of stopping support for win98 was being stated my MS.... See if someone you know managed to get that disc.
-
If that text is all you want to change, its easy. But if a graphical splash-screen or logo is what you want, then you could put it in with the cdshell multi-boot maker.
-
That's not what he wants.... MCT, you could reshack it and add a trigger string to call the save function. Now, that adding will require a fair bit of fiddling around, plus hope the EXE won't report that its been corrupted.

Dobby, you can use that new toolbar method either from taskbar, or drag it out to desktop. Works fine in both cases. You can cascade right to the last file/item in the tree. Now can I do this from the start menu ? Here is a screenshot: In shot1, the toolbar is dragged out to desktop. In shot2, its kept in the taskbar itself. In both cases the functionality is the same, except that I don't like my taskbar being permanently occupied by this. -
Well, its nice of you to do this, but why not post it where image hosting is most likely to be needed? forum
-
Okay, everyone please remember this... Quote only the part of the post which you are replying to. For example, in the above post, MCT could have just left the first-line and edited out all the CODE because that code is not required to convey what he's saying. This is going to make its way into the etiquette, and anyone found not following it will be.... *secret*
-
MCT, think again. There's no such file existing! The IE icon on desktop showing/not-showing is controlled by a CLSID in the registry. If you want to do it thru a batch-file, you can use the reg.exe command. Look in the registry tweaks thread for the relevant key.

Virtual PC 2004 Slipstreamed with SP1
prathapml replied to NateSmith's topic in Application Installs
Here's your link to dl the VPC2004 SP1 - http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/8...04SP1Update.zip Get it and post the solution in double-quick time, lol. -
Yeah! I really hate those - never found a way to save them. But you lose the original file name!

Give me the makecat.exe, please?
prathapml replied to yanghaijun's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Yup, that's what I'm saying! Since there's no way you can do it at that point, the signature simply gets rejected. -
Is Firefox & Thunderbird better than IE & Outlook?
prathapml replied to m8E's topic in Networks and the Internet
Millions probably. I still keep discovering new features in opera even 5 years after having started to use it. - Most important, just works, no s*** - unattending friendly - all settings in one place - if you want you can delete it and be back to a virgin browser... - the page reload every X seconds feature - the facility to show status bar in address bar is super cool! (you can't type in new address until the page you've asked for comes up - very useful for old people who just can't see the progress bar and will keep clicking "Go". - easily isolate a frame and load it in new page. - pages that remove your toolbars and leave you only with title-bar? A ctrl-F8 and its all back. - Its hell of a lot easier to save images (especially when you have lot of large images to save as in you-know-what) - copy text to opera notes. and then find the text from search there. - ability to restrict to only one total window (any more windows will open as tabs) - ability to restrict memory usage - fast and light out-of-the-box. No firewall needed, opera can be a stone wall if you choose so. And no virus EVER slips through it. - gives maximum screen space for YOUR perusal - its search is great, its bookmarks is great (by default!) - the integrated downloader is very cool - go to a site, start download. Then stop it and copy the link to file and paste into a full-fledged download manager - resumable downloader is part of opera! - comes with a good set of color schemes by default and has loads more online - ties in properly into your windows, just like IE could. - the tabbed browsing is ten orders of magnitude better than anything seen in others (click your current tab and it will show you what tab you were seeing before that) - ability to change browser identity (identify as IE/mozilla/opera/etc.) - ability to stop checking re-directed pages for updates. Supercool thing that you can't find anywhere - effectively this means that a dynamic page that is generated everytime you visit, can still be loaded instantly with its previous contents - of course even a kid knows to refresh when needed. - ability to load only cached images. Another supercool feature never seen anywhere. I've seen load images, I've seen don't load images. But this is something BETWEEN the two! Displays whatever images have already come into your cache! - per-page image loading settings - this is a WONDERFUL feature NEVER seen anywhere (i.e., you can have tab1 and tab2 with images on, and tab3 with images off, and tab4 with cached-image status. And when you spawn another window from tab3 by clicking a link or something, the newly created tab remembers that its parent had images turned off!) - The wand feature... the per-server maintain details feature... - the "open last closed tab" feature (Ctrl-Z) - an email app and IRC and hell lot more integrated - all of them pretty good. - the concept of saving "sessions" (to save all open tabs to be opened later in groups) - Opera-show! - kiosk-mode! - The inline find is also very light - just press the forward slash when focus is in empty space - fit large pages into window! - on-the-fly zoom up and down - Ability to clear all private data at once. - ability to see pages how YOU want it (you can setup a custom CSS) - hide it into the system tray easily! (Ctrl + H). - the level of detail about page loading it shows..... unbeatable - check for standards compliance on-the-fly (very useful for web devs) - it can ask for confirmation whern exiting, and all of this is configurable! - site navigation special toolbar for sites that support it - deal with entire page just as easily as with individual frames on it - fantastically simple interface and fantastic power beneath it! (you can make it look as complex as you want, if you were mad) - gmail supported - an F12 to quickly set global prefs - you can add more menu configurations and switch on-the-fly - mouse gestures - voice-enabled browsing control - pop-up blocking - configure java/javascript to be exactly how you want it - can disable mail/chat if you don't use those functions of opera - supports 7 protocols as compared to far less in competing browsers - micro-level cookie and referrer management - all of the above is in the standard install! no need of friggin extensions for each new feature you want - most of what is mentioned above is features that differentiate opera over other browsing suites. Opera obviously contains all the standard functions seen in any modern browsing suite. - looks like a lot of bloat? its fantastically light and occupies as little as 2 MB of memory! - just a 4 MB installer as compared to other browsers And lots more that I can't possibly type since I don't have whole day to waste, lol. To put it in very simple words, its too painful to use any other browser after the ease you get accustomed to with Opera! Try the browser for yourself and see. It beats the pants off any **** browser any day. Opera lovers, unite! Seeing all the above, firefox really stands nowhere. There's approximately ZERO reasons for opera users to migrate elsewhere. And that long-standing grouse about opera being ad-funded, you can't really fault it (since it keeps them alive to bring you better products). Its just a line of text for god's sake - if you don't want it, purchase a license key! # Really can't stop laughing at firefox fanboys who don't even know its heritage comes from mozilla. I've even seen firefox idiots flaming mozilla users - The height of militant open-source evangelism! And people who are sick of IE and run to Maxthon are silly as well - if features was what they lacked, then its fine - but these sillies are claiming maxthon makes them more secure/blah-blah which you guys definitely know to be the wrong notion (Maxthon is 100% IE at its heart, its just a shell for IE). -
Give me the makecat.exe, please?
prathapml replied to yanghaijun's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Just any digital signature is not enough... it has to be the MS one. And also as you said, using some other certificate you need to add it to the list of recognized certs on your computer (and there's no way you'd have done it at T-39 during device detection). -

prathapml replied to yanghaijun's topic in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Yeah, we've been trying to do it since a lot of time. No-go. You need the microsoft signatures (certificate) file for signing and making a new and proper .CAT, and obviously they won't give it up even if their life depended on it.... -
For anyone who isn't able to get past the first screen, the only hint I can give is read the "Warranty" Section carefully to activate the "Continue" button.

Exactly what was said above! Just to illustrate more of what we tend to take for granted with IPB, here's examples: Ability to choose email subscription type. Ability to get a copy of what was posted and by whom, to be mailed to you. A clean interface... And of course, if you moderate/admin a large forum, that's when you see all of Invision's features in their full glory, since its really excellent from that angle. Security issues, there's a lot of difference too. When you register on a phpBB forum, you get your password mailed to you in plain-text. Yes, I know there's mods/hacks for each of what I'm describing above. But well, it does get tiresome if you need to install 430 mods to get to what is standard for you with something else. Whereas with IPB you start off on a good base, and have millions of hacks available to improve it from all sides. Argh.. when will people come out of this mis-conception. Being open-source does not by itself confer better quality on something. And of course, you can add more to phpBB, but that's only because its missing more. And then, its a fact that if your purpose is to build your community feeling you won't have much time for forum modding - and conversely if you are forum modding all the time, its very unlikely you have anything more than a very tiny community.The point of concern here is, when you ask about some feature that is quite basic, the phpBB forums often responds with a reply which goes something like: wtf!

You mean to say save the flash animations that you see on sites? Maxthon can do it. On the page that has the animation, just click the flashSave icon on plugin toolbar, and a new page opens up. There you just choose to save instead of open it, and right-click the link and "Save As".

And how is this topic fitting into general category? It should have been posted in hardware.... Please read the stickied topics before posting. Next time if a topic is posted in incorrect section, it will be removed.

Why do you need those partitions to be Z: and X: ? You could just as well get by comfortably, by having them all in their normal forms through-out all time - C:, D:, E: !
-
seems so, unless you can get the sysoc.inf to run another inf which in turn executes the msn messenger's MSI with switches. And all 3 files need to be copied over during setup (through txtsetup.sif).

Larry, Ghost9 is nothing but winPE. The instructions for ghost9 is the same as winpe/bartpe/erdCommander2003.

user error... *red lamps blinking* try a re-check. Or if not user error, you probably haven't re-started after installing it. And are you logged in with an admin account? Or maybe you got the wrong file... the file size is 8 MB and it comes as an EXE. And works with zero problems right on the first go, and just continues to work all through.

CascadeMyDocuments doesn't work for me
prathapml replied to Dobby's topic in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks
please don't feel sad, but.... "Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000002can be counted as almost useless since it will only show the drives. Cascading all the way to the last object is what I need - of the kind that my alternative provides.
