Do what? I think you got this out of context with maybe reality? This copys those for YOUR Machine and Quicklaunch, not others lol

You can Integrate by KB number with exception of look up this post: MSFN topic re: kb885835 & kb885250 Mrxsmb.sys 5.1.2600.2598 << later version making KB885835 crash

Another thread, haha I have seen a lot on this last couple years Maybe he needs to try this now cause he hasn't even replied if what they gave him worked, he don't include a link to this post since it was done prior to me ever making this one. 3 days before. There is a definite problem with the reg key is reason I started this post after seeing so many post that long reg key stuff and why I went looking a long time back for something that really worked. What exactly is the reg going to point to if those shortcuts don't exist? I never stopped long enough to export and look through those Binary keys. By copying the QL folder is main reason this works. You then have the reg pointing and the shortcuts in place. One person states that's the first thing he does after setup is manually open and set it then export. I can make changes today and they are setup once I'm done installing. I don't know, let them try that and if it fails then try this.

Edited 1st Post above >> Removed 2nd Reg Export as DL. verified it was not needed. Desktop without exporting < I missed that when reading

Well click my link down below: LEAN MEAN REGISTRY Machine: Jump2Reg? It includes a Reg Search by Bill James, really nice So you are exporting the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. key. K was wondering if its needed or not but for me it works so I don't argue with what I want to achieve.

Thats it Alanoll, Specific SID of a User Created User should always change. It don't allways, I don't use VM and these are the things I've noticed. Those others are here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist but we know who they are by the list in Documents and Settings. HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18, HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19 and so forth

Lol don't you wish MS would make it easier and use TaskbarGroupingI didn't say it was not needed, try it and if it don't work then you know but share the Knowledge When I applied this like all things I apply to a freshly formatted PC(second Hard Drive or partition) with no tweaks applied. As I said I cannot remember now what came up in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced but it did appear in the scan so I just added. I know these things work for a real setup and I won't guarantee anything in a VM. I don't test against a VM as I've stated before, once you get it to work there, there are some things won't work in a real setup, that I've seen. Not really, do a search through your reg and all you find that TaskbarWinXP in only [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop] and about 4 returns with [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-xxxxxxx No where in the standard registry.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753 That is Taskbar BTW jbm My experience over past couple years shows it may change and does occasionally but I have seen more where SID stayed the same. With some software writing reg entries to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxx-xxxx for their serial or activation brings up a challenge to add something will compensate for this, so thats what I've done is work up a working solution.

With the d/l link above Trillian also fails to work. I also started getting BSOD's, something I haven't seen in a long time, and Internet was plain flaky, no integration or nothing, all i done was Install to check it out. Uninstall and all's fine. BTW you have to click the Show Updates in Add/Remove to Uninstall. Make up your own mind if you'd rather wait cause it looks good and hope to see a release soon.

Kewl Nilfred Be good for setting up multiple users with same taskbar There is a gray area there though and need to be careful. Default user is ok but don't and I say don't attempt to copy the the Docs and Sets to a User you going to Create, I have discovered that it sometimes gives you double users with a strange name like maxXPsoft.Tdf12345GH and maxXPsoft as an example. I've redone my App to account for these things and I no longer get them doubles.

Not sure but during my initial tests a long time ago some of those values were changed, been quite awhile so I don't remember which. Perhaps "TaskbarSizeMove"=dword:00000001 "TaskbarGlomming"=dword:00000000 You could turn off taskbar and take a snapshot and then re-enable and see if you want. I use InstallWatchPro personally. It is much easier to export that entire key rather than get individual vales don't you agree? Also that contains some of your settings already set the way you like so serves a double purpose. I cannot argue with what works. You see the pic, I allways need those setup cause as a developer I use all of them. My other end of the taskbar looks like this as I've added the extra Toolbars I want Yes I know it don't leave much in between but with taskbar grouping and Tabbed browsing it suits me well with Firefox.

Hmm never has failed for me but don't you think it could have been because you have %appdata% instead of %userprofile%? If you're trying to go to %ALLUSERSPROFILE% it will fail also because of the HKCU This is for %userprofile% as the things above export from a User = HKCU\Software Now if you used nLite or something that removed those Default items then perhaps you may need this MD "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" EDit Ok my bad, I never use appdata but it is possible to use that, but I don;t and mine works.

mrBob go for it cause it do work That reg key people post don't work, Why? cause you need the files located in the Quicklaunch folder if they not the standard default stuff. This is mine.

I use this on XP and Not in a VM. And now even in Vista. Vista will show them as soon as the desktop loads #1 - Do Not, Do Not use anyone elses reg stuff like i've seen a hundred times, thats for their PC and not your's. Good Grief don't they understand this #2 - Make Quicklaunch visible and set everything the way you want, add all your shortcuts the way you like them. I have a second drive where a lot of things reside so I have my Shortcuts pointing there. But it don't matter if you don't have the 2nd drive. #3 - Open a Command Prompt window and paste the following REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\quicklaunch.reg" You should get: The operation completed successfully. NOTICE: It says HKCU so this will only set it up for the user you created in User.cmd #4 - Move the reg file off your desktop to XPCD\$OEM$\ #5 - Open your XPCD\$OEM$\cmdlines.txt and paste the following "REGEDIT /S quicklaunch.reg" you need the " around them here #6 - Now go to Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer and copy the Quick Launch folder to XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\. Open the XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Quick Launch folder and delete the Desktop.ini, I also delete any other shortcuts usually created by Setup Like Show Desktop. Also any other's that programs will be installing. #7 - Now add this to your XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Cleanup.cmd Now if you used nLite or something that removed those Default items then perhaps you may need this MD "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" and now this copy %systemdrive%\Install\Quicklaunch\*.* "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" /Y I have been using this method for nearly 2 years and it is flawless. You will not see them till it reboots after Cleanup.cmd. Of course all this is done by my UnattendXP app and I don't have to do anything but select Quicklaunch and the rest is done for me. EDIT:Removed 2nd Reg Export as DL. verified it was not needed.

TheMadGuy I've created an Inno Installer and I'll PM you with it.

Place it somewhere on the drive and add the reg keys. I mention Inno because it can be used silently. I do Unattending so that would be helpful. lol I can create this myself but by the time I got the Reg file worked up TheMadGuy added his own Its up to him because i can continue doing as I do now. Copy to system32 and add the reg keys.

Was tring to make it so I can install with my unattend so I copy to the %SystemRoot%\system32 and run your reg with it. Guess I need to go looking in that dir Ok thats where it was cabbed in the system32. You said you already corrected that. Perhaps an Installer is needed. Inno is free and better than the MS thing as it looks like you don't need any extra files for it to work.

That was first thing I done after I seen he had added was totally remove everything i had done. After check shows about 15 or so reg key's modded after applying his shell extension. Thing is, do your files already have modifications done to them, i'm working with about 4 of my favorite screens including all text gone and a background inage. I'd imagine its some files done with some methods, the cabin. They work fine for me with methods I've used from Msfn for quite awhile on my Installs. Its helpful if he can find and fix bug's like this from the beginning so this thing only grows more better. TheMadGuy I also get another error when I try to save the file in same folder that I started edit from, error 70 Permission denied. There are no attribs on the file. If I make/select a different folder without a WINNTBBU.DLL in it then it works. Pressing Makecab also don't do anything. Try that file I pm'd ya with.

TheMadGuy I'll msg you with link

Well me removing my shell.reg is like me sneeezing, been messing with the registry since it was introduced in Win95. I get the right click WinntbbuED on the .dl_ but it errors out telling me its not a valid winntbbu.dll file and then it loads his program with the program defaults, in Deutsch. I'd presume you not really editing something then. Then I take a look at my CD copys of XP Home/Pro and 64 bit and find that only the 64 bit has that dll compressed for actual source. I'm just telling TheMadGuy what I'm seeing so he can look at those things, Feedback is necessary to all programmers, that I KNOW. I don't know if he expands the .dl_ when you right click it and its not happening on my system.

@TheMadGuy BTW around here they usually post the Updated links and stuff in first post so peeps can find it easier, its up to you. You can let them read everything to find the latest and greatest. Hope you don't mind I posted a link in the Unattended section pointing here cause this is definitely a great tool to have.

Only on the .dl_That's ok I can expand them first. No more error 9 on the downloaded WINNTBBU.DLL file when you go to pictures so you got that one down pat. Ok you got the Right click built in now so I deleted the reg stuff of mine. getting nicer all the time. picks up syssetup.dll although they need to be expanded also.

Yep I got a "File you are trying to is not a valid WINNTBBU.DLL file" on the .dl_
