regedit + regedt32

[jaclaz]

mitsukai,

don't want to put you down or anything, but since you are going the "minlogon" way, why don't you start from the already tested and working project?

At least try building it, either with my "caveman" batches:

or with the Winbuilder project by allanf:

Dietmar has put a lot of effort in building the "base" hives, it seems to me just wasted time to repeat his steps to get to exactly the same result, or however, I guess you will save a lot of time by modifying the as said already working and tested "base" instead of starting from scratch.

you are right... but i dont know where to start, cant i just dl the base hive reg files?

i have never use winbuilder.. i will check out your batch file

i see its SP1, not that it should matter cause the basic files are still the same..

Sure, both original Dietmar's Registry Hives and my (integrated) ones are in XPcli_build.zip, attached to the referenced post:

if you just follow the posted instructions and take a bit of time reading the whole thread starting from the referenced post, where some more hints are givenyou should have no problem in buiding, either manually - but WHY? - or using the batch, a working XPCLI.

I have tested it with both SP0 and SP1 and cdob reported it as working with SP2:

I cannot see any reason why it shouldn't with SP3 also, though AFAIK is untested.

Sure, life is tough....

...whats the problem with registering on boot-land?

The file is anyway bigger than the max size alllowed on MSFN.

do you know perhaps if vmware can log file reads? this way its easier, all have todo is wait till boot finishes look at the file read list than the files that are not listed can be removed.

how do i change the path of the font folder?

and is it possible to change the system32 to windows folder. all my windows folder is now is system32 and fonts so i geuss i want to putt the fonts folder into C: (other os may also want have these fonts.) and put all the files from system32 into windows folder.

how do i change it so cmd.exe as shell starts into fullscreen, it now starts in a window. alt+enter evry boot is annoying.

and i think i will also put a dos boot manager in, or maybe from linux?

BTW:

The error returned was:

The board administrator is no longer accepting any new registrations at the moment.

It is working now, as said boot-land is/was transferring to another server and changing a few policies, so a "glitch in the matrix" is very possible:

http://boot-land.net/register/

just tested it, it works now.

About your other questions, I suggest you NOT to change default Windows folder structure, and definitely NOT the \System32\ one, as a number of apps will look there anyway.

Maybe in a second moment , when you will have got some familiarity with all the "tricks of the trade"

You should use Procmon:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinte...s/bb896645.aspx

or a similar app from within the system to "trace" a boot.

ok i registered... You are right im keeping the system32 folder. So i can add a system64 folder : P

And i added the programs32, lib32, cmd32 and shell32 folders in my winxp folder. this way i can add 64 bit later and keep a logic structure. Anyway if i wanted to change the system32 path i would have had to patch the NTLDR and maybe other files to with a hex editor, and i dont want togo that way and like this its fine.

In the end i want to keep only the core boot files in the sytem32 folder.

i think i can put the ntldr in the system32 folder to with a boot manager.

but i still want to change the fonts folder.

i read u can change the font path per user.

So i geuss i will only put the fonts that are needed to boot there. And the other fonts can go in my C:\fonts

i will now go take a look at your files. thanks for all the help and work u have already done

Is it possible to boot without services.exe and lsass.exe running?

[jaclaz]

You don't need one.

Just login with the name and password you provided.

I just tried registering with a mock name and it works.

ok i pmed you...

and now im getting a BSOD missing winsrv. but winsrv.dll is in my ssystem32 folder..

[MrCobra]

Whats the diffrence, why would i need 2 programs for the same thing?

also regedit is in the windows and in windows/system32.

i only need one. and maybe i dont need it at all.

Can there be an option to remove this file

Reged32.exe (which runs regedit.exe) is provided for compatability with some older or self made installers that directly call it.
