Better to use $OEM$ folders for All Users folder but either will work.>One thing id like to do is make a folder shorcut on the taskbar, to a security folder in program files.have it put the folder in %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch>What else could i do to make quick unattended performance boosts??? performance boosts? no such things exist Edited December 20, 2009 by -X- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbenno Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi you may be right because my RUNONCE commands failed. No folders appeared.Can u explain this $OEM$ folder brieflyNew to it, but my beginner belief is its a folder where anything i put in it will show on the desktop??By performance boosts i mean, internal optimization.Theres plenty of tweaks i can do manuallyWhere could i run a batch file or how in run once (example command and location?)?

benbenno Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Alternatively....What would be the code to put a new folder on the desktop in runonce>>AndI have a folder of installers stating these must be installed after XP, that are located on the disk.Its possible to put these (IE8,.NET, DivX) on the desktop ive heard ready and waiting the momont the user logs in....BUT HOW?

I create a folder $OEM$\$1\Temp that contains a setup.bat then I just add %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Temp\Setup.bat to GuiRunOnce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 In nLite guirunonce is called runonce in unattended settings. Consider them the same in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbenno Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 arr thanks mateim thinking maybe i could do a silent install of IE8 using runonce like...start $OEM$\install\internetexplorer8.exe /VERYSILENTthis line is incorrect yes?is there an easier way to install IE8is there a quick way to install divXis there a quick way to install .NET (or do u have the location of a proven cab file) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) $OEM$\install\internetexplorer8.exe should be $OEM$\$1\install\internetexplorer8.exe. Don't know about the switch as I don't use it. Run the installer with a /? argument to see available switches.An easier way I already explained in your other thread - use or make your own addon with that tool. You can include updates this way and wont have an out of date system when Windows setup completes.For Divx search for an addon at those links I gave you or figure out what command line it accepts and do the same as you are trying to do with IE.For .NET 2.0 with updates KB974417 & KB958481 already included, here's (obsolete).

benbenno Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Thanks XThat should solve .NET 2.0 (which is 1.1 really yeah?)So with this do i still need to install .NET 1.0 original version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 No, 2 is not 1.1You install what you want. There's no need to install frameworks that non of your programs require. The only one I need is 2.0.I see on other threads that it seems you've gone a different route and found an all-in-one addon. If that's the case, don't also use the one I uploaded. Use one or the other but not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbenno Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Thanks again X. Yeah found a .NET addon. Worked wellIts odd cos id figure u would need version 1 & 1.1 before version 2, but this addon goes from 2.0 to 3.5I dont see many 1.0 addons around or 1.1Such a relief though to conquer it. Cheers for help along the way.On this post topic here are some useful runonce commands...md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Security"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Optimizers"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Hardware"md "C:\Program Files\Utilities"md "C:\Program Files\Security"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\DVD Software"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Internet Browsers"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Utilities"md "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Media Players"del /Q /F "%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\*.*"del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Program Compatibility Wizard.lnk"del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\MSN Messenger 6.2.lnk"del "%USERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Remote Assistance.lnk"del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\New Office Document.lnk"most of them work. Id prefer to have them in a batch file but dunno how to add the batch in (beginner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
