Slipstreaming Shortcuts?

[jcarle]

Does anyone know of anyway that you can slipstream shortcuts into the install or modify the default Start Menu layout on the CD?

[jcarle]

What? NO ONE knows?

This post highlights the method I use for my Start Menu, Desktop, and Quick Launch icons/shortcuts:

$OEM$/$Docs/All Users/Start Menu/

then put your shortcuts there

LOl I just started playing with this so here goes,,,

one part of your question

slipstream shortcuts

I tried to copy them into the folders by profile name (Say Jim) to early and it screwed things up...

So I copy them early into the all users... and default user by putting them into the

$Docs folder

All Users first level

or start at Default user first level...

Looks like if you want to copy them later into the profile by name you will have say put them in the install folder somewhere and write a script to copy them when you run the Guirunonce and the RunonceEX....

Here is and example where I moved the pbk file

CLS

@echo off

TITLE Setup Earthlink Dial-up conection

ECHO.

ECHO Setting Up Earthlink Dial-up conection

Copy "C:\Install\005EarthLink\rasphone.pbk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk"

EXIT

Shortcuts end in INK.. and when you look at them they show the file file...

A trick would be to put them in folder then tell it to copy all files *.ink

use the *.ink so it would move all shortcuts files to the new folder

or go filename.ink

Mac!

Isn't it ".lnk"?

Search the forum for "shortcut.exe", that might help you!

[Shoshoni]

Yes it should be .lnk (LNK).

Step 1.

Get your hands on SFXMaker.

Step 2.

Create a .zip file. Add your shortcuts there. Not all the shortcuts with different targets. Separate them. Create individual .zip files. (differnts .zip for each target.) Once done that open up SFX Maker.

Step 3.

See the screenshots below. At the end go to the create tab. all will speak for itself.
