fragbert Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I ran nlite 1.45 final to just add a few explorer tweaks, nothing more, and the last session.ini has a bunch of settings that I did not set, including what looks like removal of trivial files and setting some unattended stuff. Is this normal behavior?This is all I wanted nlite to do:[Tweaks]Boot and Shutdown-Auto-Kill hung applications immediatelyBoot and Shutdown-Status Messages-ExtendedExplorer-Add 'Command Prompt' to folder context menuExplorer-Change Windows Explorer folder view-ListExplorer-Classic Control PanelExplorer-Disable Search AssistantExplorer-Launch folder windows in a separate processExplorer-Show extensions of known file-typesExplorer-Show Statusbar in all windowsPerformance-Minimal Power ManagementPerformance-Use Windows classic folders / No Tasks SidepanelStart Menu-Control Panel-Don't display this itemStart Menu-My Documents-Display as a menuStart Menu-My Music-Don't display this itemStart Menu-My Network Places-Don't display this itemStart Menu-My Pictures-Don't display this itemStart Menu-Network Connections-Don't display this itemTaskbar-Disable Language-BarTaskbar-Disable Windows Tour popupTaskbar-Lock the Taskbar-YesYet it does ALL of this:[Tasks]Tweaks[Components];# Compatibility #[KeepFiles]msconfig.exe[RemoveFiles]clock.aviyahoo.bmpswtchbrd.bmp[Options]ProfilesDir = "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings"TargetPath = "WINDOWS"temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\TempAdvTweaks[unattended]ComputerType = AutomaticMaximumDataStorePercentOfDisk = 12RestorePointLife = 30DesktopTheme = Default||AutoUDay = 5AutoUHour = 15ProgFilesPath = "\Program Files"[NetAdapter1]connname = ""macaddress = ""ipaddress = "192.168.0.1"subnetmask = "255.255.255.0"defaultgateway = ""dnsserver1 = ""dnsserver2 = ""winsserver = ""netbiossetting = "0"ipxnetworknumber = "00000000"ipxnetworkframetype = "0xFF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadaniel Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 This is a very good question. I noticed this behavior also in previous versions (about 1 year ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Mulder Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The sky is falling! It's doing nothing bad IMHO, that's all defaults AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The actual settings are defaults - the question is, do you want those files on your installation media?- Clock.avi is an old file from Windows 3.x/Windows 9x that was meant for specific Video For Windows video drivers to synch up video before playing. Since VFW was a standard that did not get ported to 2000 (or XP, or Vista, etc), but Microsoft switched to WDM drivers, I don't think this file has actually had a specific use for many years. VFW drivers won't work on XP, so it's a holdover for who knows why .- Yahoo.bmp is a file that shipped with IE4 and 5, and could be found on the XP CD for IE6. This is no longer used in IE, and you'll find it missing from IE7 and on Vista/2008. I believe this was displayed as part of the old Internet Connection wizard (not used since SP1, I believe, on XP). It's not needed.- Swtchbrd.bmp was used by the Novell / Groupwise client. Unless you actually use the Novell client that ships with Windows (instead of the "good" one from Novell), then you do not need this file either.

nuhi Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 fragbert, last session remembers even the unactivated pages settings so it does not forget the settings for the next time when you might enable them.Those being in the last session does not mean that they are applied. And yeah those are the default values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danker Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 the next time when you might enable them.It's not a bug! It's a feature! Ok with your explanations I understand, but this is sometimes irritating if you ask a user for his LS.ini and there are "old/untaken" entries.
