prathapml Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 If I put stuff in the .\$OEM$\Install folder will it autoinstall if no reference is put in the "cmdlines.txt" file?No, it won't.You can have the file simply sitting there and doing nothing.The .NET will install no matter what you put in cmdlines.txt. What matters, is the content of your xpcd.reg.And if you are worried about what toecutter said, then just install dotNET beforte applying regtweaks. Personally, I install all the apps I want, and apply regtweaks right at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogy Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Oh! one other thing. Does the Information Bar talked about here:;Disable Information Bar Prompt in Internet Explorer[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InformationBar]"FirstTime"=dword:00000000 refer to that yellow strip that appears in IE with SP2, the one which gives messages like 'Macromedia Required' or something like that? Isn't that important? I mean, without that info, how would one know why things don't work the way we expect it to?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 Oh! one other thing. Does the Information Bar talked about here refer to that yellow strip that appears in IE with SP2No, it refers to the bar that appears on top of the page, saying "pop-ups blocked" or "active content has been disabled" (yellow strip).The "Macromedia xyz required..." kind of messages you refer to, are "dialog boxes", not Info bars.

SibTiger Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 @prathapml: RE: Monitor turn-off... you misunderstood what I meant by "one size fits all".With most registry tweaks, we don't need to export the setting to apply to other machines. But for changing the monitor turn-off time, I was advised to set it and export the registry key.I'll repeat my question: Is there a registry tweak that is easily changable for setting the monitor turn-off time to a set number of minutes? Or is the only method to take your favorite three settings and for each of them export 4 different registry keys with 30 character long hex codes?And if someone has the desire: Why did Microsoft need to make this registry setting so complicated and cryptic?!

maxXPsoft Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 SibTigerNOOnly way is export those long key's but they contain a lot of things within them and not just monitor so makes sense if you have things set the way you like it then export the whole key that cover's it all. I have seen the page where it tell's all the things it covers but its somewhere within my fav's and I just don't wanna search it.I auto export em when i'm setting up a CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomizer Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Prevent Windows from checking Zone Information in files when user tries to open them in Windows Explorer[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations]"LowRiskFileTypes"=".exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;.bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;"question...can ya use wild cards in reg values? if so, and since all the "malicious" file types are in this key, can we say:"LowRiskFileTypes"=".*;"don't know if the ";" needs to be there or not. i'm dumb.

atomizer Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 well, i got through 16 pages of this post before i called it quitz. one question: on the very first line, "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" is commented out. is this for safety?i assume it should be uncommented when incorporating it into an ISO (which i'm still trying to figure out what method is best)?

Fezik Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 No. It's commented because it's a comment. You can just delete it, though I don't think anything will happen if you uncomment it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 its commented out for safety...that line must be in there or windows will say the registry file is invalid...fezik please learn about reg files before you give bad advice again.

SiMoNsAyS Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 (edited) No. It's commented because it's a comment. You can just delete it, though I don't think anything will happen if you uncomment it.falsefirst line is there because it determines that it's a reg file, if that line is not present, then code won't be imported. old registry version (win9x) had as first lineREGEDIT 4 Edited December 25, 2004 by SiMoNsAyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomizer Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 thanks for clearing that up... i think -- i didn't pick a way to incorporate the reg file, but if i decide to auto run it in the ISO, should the comment remain (does nLite already set "reg edit 5"), or not, or does it even matter?while i'm at it, thanks to all of you for contributing to this project so that dummies like me can benefit. i can hardly wait to build my first "clean" windows ISO. i'm taking my time and trying to learn more about it so i can get it reasonably correct the first time around, because, wow, it's a lot of work if you want to build a complete, customized, ready-to-use install.

maxXPsoft Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Actual reason for commenting out that first line is::::Some people are so foolish to apply all without regard.Then they want to complain that this don't work or this don'tprath made this file so everyone can select what they need, not apply all and hope for the best. If you don't know what it does or are clueless then don't apply it. It's your sys so learn what each is before APPLICKING it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
