HFSLIP and msconfig

[dirtwarrior]

What is the best way to slipstream msconfig into windows 2000 with HFSLIP?

I got more questions but this one first

OK here they are

How do you get 256colour tray icons

When I was running 2000 sp4, I modified explorer.exe:

explorer.exe @ 88EE from 01 to 19, to show 256 color icons in your tray

modifype explorer.exe -c

makecab explorer.exe

and put in the FIX directory

Probably easier ways to do this now though.

Special version of msconfig.exe for W2k found somewhere on the net.

Place in hfslip\HFEXPERT\win\system32.

msconfig.zip

Thanks guys. I will try it

Use Oleg2's method because it will modifype it automatically and add it to your setup files. In virgin form, w2k does not have msconfig, so if you put it into fix, it won't copy over.

@Oleg

I'm using the latest version that's available for Windows XP. What is the difference with the one you attached?

[dirtwarrior]

OK you know while booting windows 2000 it says something about network settings. Is there a way to take that boot delay out?

@Tomcat76

Frankly speaking I don't know I found this file a lo-o-ong time ago. There was the same question and somebody recommended this version. Maybe that time it was impossible to use XP version on W2k?

That file version is 5.1.2499.0.

The file version from XP SP2 is 5.1.2600.2180.

Your network settings are initialized. You may set DHCP Client, Telephony, Wireless Zero Configuration and maybe some other network services to manual start. That may speed up loading. But you will have to start the services before you connect to Internet
