in the site above, they created a cd.txt for the IF EXIST command,

can i use a file, that already exists like autorun.inf?

so that i dont have to create this empty cd.txt?

Yes you can, although if you have 2 CD-ROM drives carrying a CD with autorun.inf you will run into problems.

Is there anyway to convert the RunOnceEX guide to windows 2000. The problem I seem to be running into is when I create a command like this:

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Direct X 9.0b" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\PLUGINS\OS Updates\Direct X\9.0b\DX9NTopk.exe"

in my runonceex.cmd file Windows 2000 kinda flips out. I guess the regedit in windows 200 needs different parameters. can anyone help me?

I've never heard of this problem with RunOnceEx in Windows 2000, as some users with Windows 2000 using RunOnceEx haven't said different.

It may be the DX9NTopk.exe, it was made for Windows XP.

@NoUTurn20: There isn't a REG command line available in Windows 2000 unless you've copied reg.exe from Windows XP to %windir%\system32 in Windows 2000. I suppose you did that?
