Just in case anyone is interested, the following batch_file.cmd has worked wonders for me, I am sure most of you can see what it does by reading it. Enjoy :)

Wow, IMHO this is the perfect type of setup, it's exactly what I do - almost exactly. Kinda scary really (checks PC for trojans) :)

I'm curious about a few programs you're installing...

I notice you're using Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.2 CE - how is that working for you? Is it the same as the regular USA version of Acrobat Reader 6.01 that has been updated to 6.02? Does it use the Brittish spelling of words like colour?

What is ActivePorts?

What is the Image resizer?

Have you ran into any problems deleting the asp, support and help accounts?

Thanks again for posting this. Very nice. Very professional. You're hired.

First let me answer those questions for you, then below, I will post my updated batch. Sorry, but I work on this and update it multiple times a day because I am just a freak like that :)

I pulled the Adobe install from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html, I was looking for a small, senf contained install. It seems to work okay, but I noticed there is NO update applet in this version. I think I realized just now that CE is the Central European version. OOPS :)

Active Ports is a sweet little freebie I found on http://www.download.com/3000-2085-10062969...page&tag=button

It lets you monitor open ports and resolve IPs of who is looking in on you. It is not firewall, just informative as to your status.

Image Resizer is a Windows XP Powertoy. It is located on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...ppowertoys.mspx, same location as the ALT+TAB Enhancer

As far as the deleted accounts, I don't know if they are specific to the Volume License version of Windows I am using. If you are using the same CD, I would just REM those lines and then see which users get created, they are bound to be the same exact name every time. Then, just add those lines in your batch.

I should explain the line in my BATCH to copy the contents of the ICONS folder.

To keep everything nice and clean, my batch deletes all of the StarMenu \ Programs directories, then copies whatever is in the ICONS folder over to c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs. This way, I only need to maintain that one location and I don't have to go through and delete a bunch of useless README and VISIT OUR WEBSITE shortcuts line by line. I just flush out everything and drop what I want in there.

If I may add a little comment. Since you were so nice in posting this, I'll give you a very helpful hint :)

Make variables for your special folders at the beginning of your batch file:

SET ALLUSER=%USERPROFILE%\..\All Users
SET DEFUSER=%USERPROFILE%\..\Default User
SET CURUSER=%USERPROFILE%

USERPROFILE is a environmental variable present on all current versions of Windows. By referencing your directories this way you eliminate compatability problems in the future. For example, your script wouldn't work on my setup because I change the default profiles location in the winnt.sif (unattend.txt) file:

[GuiUnattended]
ProfilesDir="%systemroot%\Profiles"

This will make your code much more portable and it will work on difrferent languages too.

Thus instead of:

DEL "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk"

You would use:

DEL "%ALLUSER%\Start menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk"

You should learn how to use administrative install points so that you don't have to install patches for programs after installing them (such as .NET SP1, Diskeeper 478, etc).

This is what I use.... it reads the installation commands for all my stuff from text files & then generates an installation script.

%APP_DIR% = c:\install\apps

%PACK_SCR% = commands.txt

%INSTALL_SCR% = c:\install.cmd

for /d %%i in (%APP_DIR%\*.*) do type "%%i\%PACK_SCR%" >> %INSTALL_SCR%

Just put a commands.txt in the same directory as your setup files & edit it to contain the silent installation commands. (NOTE: the first line of commands.txt must be empty.)

Example commands.txt:

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Winrar v3.30 ...
start /wait %APP_DIR%\winrar330\winrar330.exe /s
REGEDIT /S %APP_DIR%\winrar330\cascade.reg

Yeah, I could probably use commands, but it makes it so much easier to maintain and update if it is all contained in one batch. I played with RunOnce and the RunOnce creator tool, but it requires additional batches to run my cleanups. One batch file, plain and simple, is my preferred method. This way, I don't have to justify adding a third video card and monitor on my development box just so that I can view all the open windows :) Thanks to everyone for the input and suggestions.
