Not here for sure. Well it will result in locking the thread for sure.

Bon Jovi - My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms

This is it exactly. I work with 4 computers which equates to 5 physical screens. 1 Notebook and its screen. 3 on my workstation. And one monitor is set up to 2 PCs, one of which has its own desktop and two VM Consoles running, so it seems even more! For my workstation, the screens are usually Email - Browser - an IDE. It is almost required for me to have one screen with a browser, which is immensely helpful if you do any web development too.

That is an interesting program, however I tested it out on some CHMs I have and some of the formatting is missing that makes certain parts easier to read. I will look further into the hh.exe angle. Ugg this was way too simple... I copied hh.exe from c:\windows to c:\intel. I renamed it hh2.exe. I can then pin hh2.exe to the start menu. Then change file association for .chm to c:\intel\hh2.exe.

Well Imagex will know for sure if it is a WIM file. However you'd want to put in that check only to make sure it is a valid WIM file before having Imagex deploy it and save yourself an error. To do a real check you'll need to make some DLL calls, but most people just use Gimagex component for this rather than figuring it out from scratch.

You can post a link if the file is on an Adobe or Macromedia URL.

I notice that those two things it isn't doing (dotnet and reg) are the only two files in your .cmd that do not have fully qualified paths. It may be that FirstLogonCommands can't find those files.

Well you can try using the key on the sticker on the Acer.

Merged the topics. It is one reason (not relating to spam) as for why to not make duplicate topics, especially when reference is made to the other one. Its better to keep it all in one thread. Except now the problem is that iamtheky's first post is out of place in the thread. Alas, since this has changed from being a Windows 7 problem to a hard drive problem, I'll need to file this appropriately.

Which version of Shockwave Player?

Well seeing as how hh.exe is not present in either of those registry methods, I can only imagine that it is coded within the application, as the second method suggests. That is, unless its presence on the exclusion list is kept elsewhere besides those two registry locations... If it is coded into the application, then creating a duplicate with a different file name wouldn't make a difference. I'll try it out tho and see what happens. Well it seemed like a good idea, except Windows won't let me do anything inside the default Start Menu (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs) besides create folders. Creating a shortcut (or even a txt file) just isn't an option...

Regedit

Do you think it would be possible to either allow CHMs to appear in the Windows 7 Start Menu, or the application used to launch CHMs with an expandable arrow? I know that by default, only executables will show up in the "most used" portion of the start menu, but I open CHMs a lot and it would be great to have them show up too.

You won't be able to change the permissions of ROUTE (or set to run it as Administrator) but you might want to look at AppLocker if the version of Windows you are using supports it. I'm not sure if creating a rule for ROUTE will auto-elevate the program or not. You can try setting whatever program (your VPN software I imagine) that is doing the call to run as Administrator on the Compatibility tab.

I hazard a guess that _ext=%%~xA Which is set during the For above your three outcomes in the IF statement that follows. If that is the case, then it the variable would exist, and not equal .wim, which only allows for the error to appear. I'm not too good at batch so I'll let others check it out.

What about using that component in the AuditSystem pass?

Windows Embedded Studio is for creating XPe installs. If you want to change the behaviours of an XPe system, you would need to load the offline registry hive and make the appropriate changes that way.

How much free hard disk space do you have?

No I think it is safe to use environment variables without quotes.

Hotfixes are not redistributable. I have modified your post.

What's so special about these? Why not get them from the Catalog site?

Ah I was under the impression that the "rebuild image" option would replace the image in WDS. I will try that and see if it makes a difference. EDIT: replacing the boot image in WDS worked out fine.
