BTW if you right click on a file on the desktop it will give you what you had. Anywhere else its the actual path E:\_beta.microsoft.com> C:\UnattendXP>

Heres what I use to make the path in the Dir it executes on. This gives you right click on all Files/Folders and DOS HERE appears. Click it and opens the cmd prompt with path in dir of containing. That Microsoft one is useless to me. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [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\Directory\shell\cmd] @="DOS HERE" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\\\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd] @="DOS HERE" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd\command] @="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\\\""

Zoster was wondering if you would like right click to this. I don't like the drag to desk or whatever and have had the right click for awhile. I just added .msi to it. Anyway's since I couldn't use the previous Installer I created an Inno Installer with the reg settings and see if someone was interested

filthy_mcnasty Perhaps it don't work since .lnk is a normally hidden extension. I know theres a reg tweak to turn them into not hidden but it makes things look nasty lol

Are you applying at cmdlines.txt? BTW you can't just change HKCU stuff to HKLM. As Aegis said some can but usually they are written to a different part of HKLM. Too much to go into detail here about. Its all been covered. Might try using that Reg Tweakage .Net up in Unattended forum and import the HKCU at cmdlines.

I don't use wpi so add this to a .cmd and call it On the Adaware REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait SLEEP.EXE 8" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C pskill Ad-Aware" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Pskill HH.exe" /f I make it sleep for 8 seconds cause them other windows pop up then kill them. Isobuster REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "%SystemRoot%\System32\Pskill IsoBuster" /f basically all you need is the Taskill or pskill either one and place in .cmd file Pskill IsoBuster

Sure they'll work with adding to Reg but more like this REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "WScript.exe %CDROM%\Software\avipurge.vbs" /f

Me too but I kinda knew exactly what he would say. I added the EULA to mine also some time ago but all I do is pop a msg box saying that clicking OK means they have read it, that's hard coded so can't be changed and I think it's sufficient. I also check for exist of that file and read random thing's from it and if it's not right I exit no questions. I realize also you have some that shouldn't be on a PC much less altering thing's. Then being the type they are if they screw up they think it's your fault. Here's your sign. Have a way back. If you are going to use a program to do Unattended's then make sure you have a backup copy can get you back. That's the learning curve.

Wraith, GreenMachine Never ending cycle huh?, you produce but it's for what? No one care's about the Eula, just do what it's supposed to do and don't bother me with your cyclo garbage. I been at mine well over a year and a half, 10-20 new member's and download's a day and mostly not even a reply from any of those. I as other's have my hardcore fan's like's what my app does and I keep at it for them I guess and will as long as I can. Guaranteed They reply and help me out so I'm commited to producing for them. I was disappointed with this cycle but since I been looking at this post I see it's the same for someone else but me. When you have to trick stuff it to make them read it's become ridiculous. Oh well, maybe need to compare note's.

What I've figured out. Reg setting's don't mean jack unless you have the stuff in the Quicklaunch folder.... I do a Xcopy folder of HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "AppData" & "\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" to XPCD\$OEM$\$1\Install\Quicklaunch Then in cleanup I copy it back I export the reg setting's you're doing also and apply at cmdline's OpenProcess ("CMD /C REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop" & " " & Chr(34) & AddBackslash(App.Path) & "XPCD\$OEM$\quicklaunch.reg" & Chr(34)) OpenProcess ("CMD /C REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" & " " & Chr(34) & AddBackslash(App.Path) & "XPCD\$OEM$\quicklaunch2.reg" & Chr(34)) Combination of all of above work's here every time. It even include's any extra Toolbar's I have added. BTW Its 1 mouse click to do all that for me.

bigeagle What reg tweak did you apply?

Lot of things can affect this meaning reg tweak's to disable the garbage. Meaning remove shared doc's, disable 8x3, remote namespace printer's, remote namespace scheduled tasks, disable thumbs.db, thats just a few. Take a look at Reg Tweak's up in Unattended for those or most of them.

twizt3d You got the right idea, especially usefull for Unattended Can also use REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v CloneCDTray Deletes the registry value CloneCDTray under Run Autoruns is ok but sometimes you just need to apply it another way.

NO autoit although I use is not the only option. I run scripts and replace it (Notepad) with ConText which is more dynamic cause it allow's file's to be modded while they are open in it.

I'm afraid I'd say don't rob from the man. Point to his page instead of loading all his stuff. I've had that link several year's. He does supply so much more if you take a look. Credit where credit is due. He supplies so much on Service Configuration's and you don't cover it all http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/service411.htm

Easiest thing going At start of your Sub() after they clicked whatever Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass 'Yada Yada Im working Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault They can't use mouse or keyboard in your App while its Hourglass although they can do other things with XP in other apps, its Multi-Tasking BTW

That tells you whats wrong right there. Within I386 you should have that folder I386\ASMSNot safe to remove that folder. Been there done that.

I must be mistaken then about what that says.

bootcfg will only run during Recovery Console or Recovery unless I am mistaken Yes there are ways to add things to boot.ini such as using using a vbs script or a ??I forget??.exe that wil modify ini's. If you knew exactly what the line would read even cmd can do thaT with the Attrib -R -S and then using ECHO. A little involved but has been done.

lolol Originally you wanted to just create the file and % variables. I gave you both but threw in that open in Notepad which adds more to it included the dos window staying open but Simon corrected. Theres ways to get exactly what you want but its just playing around with the strings. 1 thing I'm definitely against is create a batch I have to call a string to run it, Good Grief. wano for cocka. Play with the strings. I don't have time right now. EDIT: BTW Its a good discussion and if someone starts at the top and reads through all the things they should learn something today.

This my Version of that, I create the list in the dir without using %temp, open in Notepad and I'm using REG_EXPAND_SZ which allows %SystemRoot% Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c dir /B /O /S > %1\dirlist.txt|%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe %1\dirlist.txt [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Dir List\Command] @=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\ 00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,63,00,6d,00,\ 64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,2f,00,63,00,20,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,20,\ 00,2f,00,42,00,20,00,2f,00,4f,00,20,00,2f,00,53,00,20,00,3e,00,20,00,25,00,\ 31,00,5c,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,6c,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,2e,00,74,00,78,00,74,\ 00,7c,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,\ 25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,6e,00,6f,\ 00,74,00,65,00,70,00,61,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,\ 5c,00,64,00,69,00,72,00,6c,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,2e,00,74,00,78,00,74,00,00,\ 00 I tried for awhile to make it with REG ADD but I gave up.

I got error 101 when I silent installed straight up the exe so I ran and copied the dir from temp [AntiSpyware_MS] REM NOTES: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx REM NOTES: Run to first screen and copy all files over from Temp Dir. REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware" /f REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "msiexec.exe /I %SystemDrive%\Install\AntiSpyware_MS\AntiSpyware.msi /qn" /f You can then track everything with InstallWatch Pro and get rhe REG settings

I use a different method which was discussed long ago ]To simply register just open the folder if you don't mind using that method. In cleanup.cmd REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce /V RegisterFonts /D "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot%\Fonts" All that does is open the folder and you just close it. Can use a Kill on it if you want. Saves all that yada yada yada ttf

Added the reg stuff so its all 1 file. Just click and reboot... On the Prefetch I've tried adding this but instead of adding to the XPTemp.cmd above ECHO CD %systemroot\Prefetch>>%systemdrive%\XPtemp.cmd ECHO for %a in (*.pf) do DEL %a>>%systemdrive%\XPtemp.cmd Maybe someone else can enlighten us on how to add this to %systemdrive%\XPtemp.cmd? Probably be simpler to just add DEL C:\Windows\Prefetch\*.pf but some may have different drive or root.

Posted: Nov 22 2004, 06:44 PM And you're not done yet? Although I heard some were hiring hit men cause you haven't finished yet... lol get it right and take all the time you need. But they said you better have it right
