I've done this with 2 .cmd files and a Runoncex entry At end of the Original cleanup.cmd I run the batch making a new boot.txt and rename the original to .old. The boot.txt to boot.ini In the .cmd is something like this I ECHO all the other lines to the boot.txt and then this "for /F " & Chr(34) & "tokens=*" & Chr(34) & " %%S in ('FINDSTR /B " & Chr(34) & "multi" & Chr(34) & " %systemdrive%\boot.ini') do ECHO %%S /safeboot:minimal>> %systemdrive%\boot.txt" Thats the way I wrote it in VB and some things may not ne needed in yours. That will make it boot to Safe on next boot. At end of this .cmd I reboot. Then it boots in Safe and does what it needs and I add the runoncex to set the Orig.boot.ini back when It reboots with 2nd .cmd Actually used this to copy the wpa.dbl and reboot to Safe to overwrite them then reboot.

Yes probably not much can happen right there since it may be only connecting to MS sites, but you know what? Best to Be Safe than sorry I want to know whats going out and coming in at all points from Power Switch On No Bug's or critters here and never have been. Recovery if configured right works or at least has for me in the few occasions I've had to use it. Which leaves us to another thing, I usually Install Recovery Console which wants to connect and check for updates at Runoncex. I deny it as usual but am I missing out on something special?

You need WIN9XUPG + COMPDATA folder unless somethings changed I don't know about. Which happens cause MikeySoft don't pay me consultation fee's so they on their own.

I've had no problems totally deleting that complete Folder to reduce size as I've done for a year or better. I use Firefox and have seen no ill effects. Makes me no diff since I can go DVD but for the Cd Install's Yes 98mb is a whole lot of space to regain isn't it.

I Like it too because it simply works

hmm I'm not because ever since I discovered that a long time ago I DISCONNECT the Lan cable during my setups. If memory serves me, something said a long time ago about getting all the Hotfixes done and Virus checkers/Firewall in place before you go online, Josh Maybe?

Edit, not sure about that

Ok they said 24-48 hours but its back up now.

Server, I'm on the phone with them right now trying to get past the music and talk to someone. I'm sure its long distance and they want me to listen to some good rock on a crappy phone speaker.

If you use something else, say WinRaR to open cabs then disabling them with those cmds will make things much nicer. IE opening a folder and it takes forever to read contents of those things and show them in a Folder view within the current folder. That sucks....... and is Slow.....

Look in my Sig below, just enabled download again

But of course, back near the rear end of these forums when i first came here that was gone over a whole lot. Using an actual drive letter is indication that something still not quite right.. Minor things out of place will make it fail and if you doing this in VM then may need to change further to get it to work in an actual setup. What I gave you works for me on a real CD/DVD setup last 100 burns, as long as all the other switches are right.

I use both these in Cleanup.cmd with no problem and no intervention regsvr32 /u /s zipfldr.dll regsvr32 /u /s cabview.dll No need for a wait thing cause it happens really quick

Add this [Data] MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall=Yes and in [unattended] OemFilesPath="..\$OEM$"

Read Post right above cause this applys also. Without the REG entries my Toolbars were not there either.

muiz Basicslly BS These don't work without the REG. Just done a fresh Install without VM and they aren't there. To get them after the last reboot in Cleanup.cmd follow my instructions here INCLUDING the Reg entries. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753 Basically you need the Reg entries to ENABLE Quicklaunch so it appears after reboot. They were present but QL was not Enabled. Thats what you get for testing with VM Sometimes its right and there are times its wrong for a normal setup which is the ultimate goal

He said he has a whole lot of them and can you imagine what pain that would be to do that for each and every one? Be easier to export that reg location HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts and add it to his cleanup.cmd along with the file copy above

Copy all into XPCD\$OEM$\$$\Fonts Then in Cleanup.cmd add a line like this Thats all 1 lineThat will open the Fonts folder on Reboot and you just close the folder. By opening it they will Auto register Simple but effective

Hmm I install about 60 apps testing and I do mean some are rather huge and they fit on the DVD or either another method is 2nd Hard Drive where you have all the apps located there and just call them similar to Runoncex method You can even set it up to call 5-6 DVDs in a row if you wanted If you're looking at image then Ghost the thing and place it on another drive and that would be simple. Its whatever you want to devote enough time for.

I think what you need is in your winnt.sif [unattended] UnattendMode = DefaultHide It will hide everything you provide answers on and should bring up the box and let you enter your CD key. Its not FullUnattended if you don't give all the answers.

WindowsXP-KB901214-x86-ENU.exe /Quiet /Passive /integrate:C:\XPCD Been awhile since I done it manually but I think thats close If you open a Dos Prompt and paste the exe name in there and put a blank space and /? it will tell you these things

Not really for me prathapml cause I have all the things about 500 that does to the registry. Each time you apply a policy it add's the registry stuff. Or at least Pro before SP2, I haven't looked with SP2. That was my Policy Tweaker I never completed.

Bold_Fortune for those of us do use it occasionally. I'm not limited to just one browser cause the new 7.0 looks to be promising when they get the bugs out of it

Then you can also apply policies will handle some of those things. Then you have to make sure they stay out of registry.

Ok same thing http://ryanvm.msfn.org/ REM http://ryanvm.msfn.org/ REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D ".NET Framework v2.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\Install\_Net2.0\dotnet2.exe" /f I do the /wait there
