Would this work? Using cleanup.bat as similar to runonceex

[chyronn]

OK this is what i would like to do and why: i would like to be able to import all my "Favorites" boomarks/internet links to a fresh install of XP. i've used winrar to make a self extracting file that would automatically and silently import all my bookmarks to where my favorites is located. i've tested it and it works. however, i've learned that the User profile isn't created during runoneceex but after. so will i be able to "hijack" the cleanup.bat which i use to delete temp directories and icons to run this rar file assuming it's come after runonenceex?

you can try by two way by registry or winnt.sif just go to winnt.sif at last type

command9=your file location\cleanup.bat

or try from registry import expandable string value (it can use %systemroot%) to HKLM\softwares\microsoft\windows\current version\runonce

make .reg file and copy it to %OEM% and make textdocument named as cmdlines.txt edit it and type

[Commands]

"regedit /s .reg file"

for more help check google

That's not what i was asking. i want to know if i can use cleanup.bat (which i use as to delete temp installation directories and remove icons from the desktop) to run an SFX'd winrar file.

ok here is some thing that may help you

i am using nlite and unattended windowscd creator to slipstream win xp to clean temp and deleting some files i am using RunOnceEx.js my winnt.sif contain

[GuiRunOnce]

wucdcreator="wscript.exe %systemroot%\RunOnceEx.js"

in RunOnceEx.js i had many thing but at last i had clean up.bat which cleans temporary files from window ..

here is my RunOncEx.js
