and R/W is even better both CD/DVD for testing cause I can do both muiz I'm only pointing out that your going through a lot of hassle to make that SFX when all you need to do is simply copy the files to a certain dir and they are done and complete on install. Heck you can even create a .cmd will do all that for you in one step No need for the SFX even with SFX you still need the command to execute it and extract. Not so with the File copy

is that dn1.exe a SFX? I use the same from Ryanvm and it don't reboot but I have this REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D ".NET Framework v1.1 SP1" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "%SystemDrive%\Install\_NET_1.1_SP1\netfxsp1.exe" /f

Can't say how many of these actually are needed but changing it in mine these keys changed [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"="1" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects] "VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000001 Set it to that and go export these 4 settings for your particular Windows

Dude, how can you get this without the reg stuff? I just highlighted part of the reg setting in question I will try next time just copy those icons over to Quicklaunch and see what happens though And by the way you don't need to pack them in an sfx. 4.14 KB turns into 99.9 KB in a SFX. Good Grief. Just copy to the location I specify in my post on this http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753

Heres 1 link how to http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14832664 They have a FAQ there may help more

I see but if you also get the extra Custom setting files and load them one at a time and you can get an idea of the calculation. XP DSL PPPoE 3000 384.ccs, DSL PPPoE 512 128.ccs Perhaps not the easiest way but usable. These custom files work Edit I have read somewhere what you're asking but its lost in my Favs

No it wasn't newer Jul 27 2005 I did the Top thing You know prathapml I typed in Quick Launch in the Google Search right above and chose search forums and my link wasn't even on first page. Been my trouble since I've been coming here actually. If I didn't have it in my Fav's it would get lost in all these pages.

Rename my Computer in XP HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" Change LocalizedString= to new value and reboot Default value @%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,-9216

I use Cablenut, perhaps you can find your answer there BoardBabe http://www.cablenut.com/ You can then get the reg settings

Top for those that don't read deep enough.

And after all that you repeated EXACTLY what I posted here Quicklaunch Tutorial:, working everytime for 2 years http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753 AND I even show you where to copy the extra icons as mentioned we're definitely in a vicious cycle where everyone discovers whats already been done or either finds something been around for several years

Felix try this for the loginUI > ChameleonXP http://www.geocities.com/outersoftinc/CXP.html as of this post today it was still there WB TheMadGuy

For those harda$$ lnks don't want to disappear just simply add then to a .cmd file and run it as last thing Cleanup.cmd runs My zzCleaningUp.cmd Color 0A SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "UnattendXP - Cleaning Up Links" /f REM //////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /VE /D "Cleanup" /f REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /V 1 /D "CMD /C DEL \"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Ad-Aware SE Personal.lnk\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /V 2 /D "CMD /C DEL \"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\IncrediMail.lnk\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /V 3 /D "CMD /C DEL \"%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Winamp Agent.lnk\"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /V 4 /D "CMD /C DEL \"%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Winamp.lnk"" /f REG ADD %KEY%\DelShrtCuts /V 1 /D "CMD /C DEL \"%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Winamp.lnk\"" /f rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess EXIT Been there and done that and so this file takes care of them but you name them separately Give it a try

Jeez Or as I posted here and got a bunch of crap from it. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753

This all went off subject as he was originally looking for Detail View in the CommonDialog. My mistake as I didn't read clearly. Detail and Thumbnail are not an option at current time. Dialog Box Assistant $19.95 < I don't think so TweakUI < been there and done that. I'll stick to my Reg modifying since you can do that and lot's more. Just take a look at the MSFN POst - Registry Tweaks Pt 3 I think you'll throw that TweakUI away

Depends on what your card is. I have an ATI Rage vid card and mine is located here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies] Use Installwatch Pro - > http://www.epsilonsquared.com/installwatch.htm Install it, Start, Choose Snapshot, then open yours and make some changes and then click Analyze. Point you straight to it unless its using an ini, InstallWatch tracks changes to ini's also including other changed files

Reg stuff Looks Ok

I don't know about applying your own icons but its possible, but look above at my first reply and you can change it adding whatever you like that appears over there Mine has only 3 locations set in it including 2 separate drives where I keep stuff I d/l

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\cmd] @="DOS HERE" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe \\\"%1\\\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd] @="DOS HERE" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\\\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd] @="DOS HERE" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\\\"" I prefer this method BTW if its a shortcut to say like Mozilla Firefox on desktop it open's the prompt in that folder. If its a file on the desktop it open's the prompt on desktop. much better

Don't believe theres a way just like getting it to show thumbnails as Default. Not possible Commondialog just won't allow it.

I remember its here somewhere but unable to find myself so http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/dnscache.htm or http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1203/

Oops sorry, no you have to set your folders to Listview and the Tools, Folder Options, View and click the 'Apply To All Folder' to get it to listview. I been working on the hack to make all Folders default to this but I'm not done.

Default Save Common Dialog Its somewhere been done before but heres a link is easiest of all. http://www.puppypc.com/windows/rt/comdlg_placebar.htm From there you can save the reg and modify to what you want.

Just finished on a Fresh Pro install and this worked there also.

Just done a fresh install XP Pro and Listview on all folders was working. I first deleted all HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags" HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU" HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags" HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU" and the same keys in HKEY_USERS applied Listview all folders and tracked changes. Theres a couple other keys change so need them also HKEY_USERS\YOUR SID\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams] HKEY_USERS\YOUR SID\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Defaults] Then assembled my reg file from the changes and fact I replace my SID in HKEY_USERS on install. May be forgetting something there but its most of it. I very much dislike that Tile view in Explorer when I load up so this is nice if its possible and it applied this time. Take some more testing.
