You're allright Aaron I don't care what Aaron said about you. Tks

sfamonkey You can use a write to ini in VB and it will do it with no problem easily. Only thing is first Shell out and attrib -R it first. Sometimes it's Read only. Here's an excellent .bas module I use which I have found is easiest INI files - made easy

What I have so far and unsure if it work's 100% ;Firewall OFF [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile] "EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000

rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess Although with correct settings my last run I had a RunonEX screen stretched way down, cause I burned CD instead of VMWare and it will use correct setting's and install driver's correctly thus letting your display setting's to actually work.

Think I'll wait on the real McCoy cause no telling what's in those ahem un-official releases... Got this in email a little bit ago Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) has been released to maunfacturing. The relevant end-user schedules for 2004 are: August 06 Release to manufacturing. August 09 Release to Microsoft Download Center (network installation package). August 09 Release to MSDN subscription site (CD ISO image). August 16 Release to Automatic Updates. August 16 Release to Software Update Services. August xx Release to Windows Update. Not much time to wait on real thing..

Probably been posted before but Heres some more Time Servers Going on what you have as Number 3 I add # 4 - 8 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] "4"="clock.isc.org" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] "5"="timekeeper.isi.edu" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] "6"="usno.pa-x.dec.com" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] "7"="tock.usno.navy.mil" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] "8"="tick.usno.navy.mil"

If I can ADD if New Style Start Menu is being Used. Use this and hit refresh Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Remove's Recycle Bin from Desktop if New Style Start Menu is being Used. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel] "{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001

There's a New kid in town soon, MSH, coming to an XP PC near you!!!!!! msh get-process | where-object -Expression "processname -like *cs*" dam looks UNIX It's powerful but semi-hard to learn Think I like's the cmd.exe

and mazin No longer old with all these replies and funny before I noticed that I saw he wanted the dir structure. After fighting VMWare and virtual for 6 month's trying to make it play well I'll waste the CD's at 20 cent's each. CDRW might be worth a shot though. 1. NO more problem's 2. Driver's all install as I intended. 3. Time to drink a beer or three while I wait

mazin I've allway's wondered also but do it out of habit. You'd think the reg be clean at that point and if not you wouldn't want to overwrite whatever it's doing now would you.

prathapml Value of 7 will hide A, B, C link above, I posted wrong one but it has link to hide drive which is what you posted, but its accumulative. For example to hide drive A and drive D, you would add 1 (A) + 8 (D) which means the value should be set to "9". Hide Drives - http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/148/ Note: These drives will still appear in File Manager, to remove File Manager, delete or rename winfile.exe.

Prevent Access to the Contents of Selected Drives (Windows 2000/Me/XP) - Trouble with this is you have to apply this to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, you'd have to deny access to registry also so they won't go in and unhide. or Perhap's policy won't be what you need, Go into My Computer and right click the drive and choose Sharing and Security. Security is what you want. This won't hide it but will Deny access or simply Remove their User names or to anyone except Admin's and System. But be careful, I blocked my backup drive D: once and had to reformat the C:\ to get back to it. I now watch what I'm doing. You have commandline that will do same thing's like this, xcacls.exe and cacls.exe. Type those at command prompt for more info.

This is my reg entry for Dos Here [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Revenger inc.\CMenuExtender\Contents] "002_item"="<command>cmd.exe</command><caption>Dos here</caption><commandline>/k cd /d</commandline><icon>pifmgr.dll,0</icon><description>Dos here</description><sendfolder>" The /d spec's the dir = Changes the current drive or the current directory for a drive. If you open the CMextEd and double click "Dos Here" the /k cd /d is in Commandline:

sleepnmojo You right thought i was getting them but I'm not, trying to figure out why

1 line or 18 Reality what a concept.

wrong - removed

You trying to complicate it. This works for me shortcut.exe /f:"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\SuperScan.lnk" /a:c /t:"%programfiles%\SuperScan\scanner.exe" /W:"%programfiles%\SuperScan"

on a computer running a current version of Windows 2000 Server and then run Risetup.exe, a standard answer file is created and named Ristndrd.sif Do the Google http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documen...bc_cai_silp.asp

Applying Detail View to Windows Explorer Points somewhere else in the reg. Says you have to delete 2 keys reboot, set pref's. Then might be able to export those to keep settings. peachy On an Unattended that may work. Found this also but I think it need's reboot. ;Large icons = 01 ;Small icons = 02 ;List = 03 ;Details = 04 ;Place the cursor to the left of the fifth position, hit delete and then enter the new value. One last thing, seem's getting this to stick to all folder's is a nightmare, maybe not worth the hassle. annoyances.org

Removed Wasim link below is better explanation NOTES: You cannot load and change it while they logged on

mystek What you are saying is that it will magically appear in a reg setting and that ain't hapening man. Its a dll call and that's it. Or show me cause i thought I tried it all.

I was Beta testing the new Command Shell for MS and it somehow messed up my Dos here to open command prompt at current dir on files and folders. Strange that even CD D:\Backup wouldn't change to that dir Heres what i figured out Append directory and add this with no space at end of it. /k cd /d After running that just once CD started working again so it was the Beta doing it somehow. I just left this cause it work's fine. enuffsaid Perhaps you could use that somehow too get your command working..
