I used to use MHT files alot back in the 90s. Typically before they had large USB keys or email accounts. I could save a webpage as an MHT and copy it to my zip drive. I always wondered why it never really got adopted, but I am thinking PDFs took over their power. Alas, I figured someone knew of it already but we need a thread here for those that don't!

I've always sysprepped Vista before doing a massive hardware change like that. Especially if you set up your XML to include other mass storage drivers.

I had this problem with Vista when it came out, but not all programs. Some would not install or take eons to copy the files. I haven't gotten that far into 7 yet, but does it use the Link Layer Topology mapper like Vista and 2008 does? I had to use Group Policy on all the Vista Business and Ultimate images to disable that function, and networking became viable again. However another consideration is that the file server on the domain runs Server 2003.

I would imagine that changing the picture of the start button wouldbe similar to how it is done for Vista. But ah, you can't expect there to be graphics mods out for 7 already! It just RCed recently!

That article is for the older version of Diskpart. I wonder if includes the one that comes in the WAIK now.

OK so here is the function in the VBScript. It runs imagex just fine but obviously it is failing to run diskpart. I doubt the reason it fails is because of the fully qualified path. But maybe I should try it out? Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ObjShell.run "cmd /c x:\windows\system32\diskpart /s x:\windows\system32\full_diskpart.txt",0,True ObjShell.run "cmd /c imagex /apply c:\sp1.wim 1 d:",0,True Or perhaps its the cmc /c interacts different with diskpart than with imagex? Any other ideas? I'll compare to my deployment code to see if I can find any differences. Actually my other code (I didn't write it) uses the following: ObjShell.run("&chr(34) & "cmd /c diskpart /s" & chr(34) &" &chr(32) & TempTXT) As you can see it uses a var called TempTXT but I am not going to use a var. Also I don't quite understand the chr(34) usage.

This would be a better starting point for nomnomnom:

Have you tried the User State Migration Tool?

I use the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool on all my USB drives. However you could use diskpart to do it as well.

No this isn't what it is. It is in a lot of torrents and in fact its being seeded. The google search results has a weird truncation of the webpage's text to make it seem like it say the txt file tracks torrents. If you go to the website instead of reading the results, you will see it. I've seen this file before but I forget what it is.

I searched here and came up with nothing. Today I received my RC copies of Windows 7 in 32 and 64bit at an official sales training. One of the things talked about was PSR or Problem Step Recorder. You older folks might remember Windows 95 and the Macro recorder. This is very similar. It is also similar to AutoIT's pointer code generator. You start it up, click record, then go about things. When you are done, click stop and it will ask you to save someplace. It creates an MHT (a not-so-often used embedded web document format) file that records all the stuff you clicked on, INCLUDING SCREENSHOTS. To start it up, type 'PSR' into the search field on the start menu. It is designed to be used for troubleshooting, but it looks to be a good training/walkthrough tool! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd464813.aspx

I liked how you could chain Macs together!

Search for embed, embedded music player, embedded mp3, etc. I did it once a long time ago but it didn't use feeds.

I've made a whole bunch of signatures over the years. Sometimes they are simple, sometimes not. Each time I try to do something special. I've not only made signatures for myself, but for others on request from time to time. I don't have them all uploaded or organized well, but most are sitting up in my photobucket. Here is my latest one for use right here.

Welcome to the MSFN! Sounds like a notebook cooler... If it is $15 now, what was it originally? In my experience, cooling equipment at a very low MSRP isn't a good choice.

The full recovery just runs diskpart with a script so perhaps it is possible that the diskpart script is failing. However, if I launch the command prompt and run the commands manually that the script executes, including the same syntax, it works fine. So the VBScript is not working properly OR it starts running imagex BEFORE diskpart is finished.

What version of windows installer do you have? You might want to just try updating the driver from Device Manager and pointing it to the INF file on the CD. That's typically how I install NIC drivers.

Make sure you put it in the Startup folder for All Users? I'm not sure why it would open twice either.

By adding to startup, do you mean putting it in the startup folder or using the run key?

I was going to bring that up. I had installed the RC of Server 2003 on my PC as a dual boot and I forgot it would expire. So I was hosed the one day I boot up and I can't log in. So yeah, if you decide to use an RC, make sure you know you can't use it forever.

Welcome to the MSFN!

Some day I will be older than you. Today's just a cake throwing day!

My company doesn't use UPS either. We've had some ups and downs from them, mostly because their throwers deliver us broken products. I think the last straw was when they lost a pallet of video cards... We're talking like 500+ video cards here!

Recovery for full is failing. Script Error generated "Internet Explorer Script Error" That is to say, the same line of ObjShell.run "command",0,True works to do other things, like starting the recovery process itself. NOTE: forgot to declare the variable Also, the setres command that works in XP is still not working in the PE. It works fine for standard displays, so I know it isn't the fault of the PE. In my experience, peimg the display driver doesn't work because PE will still use the standard display driver. Any more ideas? Also, DXtransforms do not work in the PE either. ie: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(StartColorStr='#E2E2E2',EndColorStr='#6e6e6e); Full Recovery now works, but something fails in the recovery process. Windows generates a registry error just before it enters Welcome... this is getting so close now!
