jamey Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I was just wondering whether anyone else is as logically-minded as me and does this for their unattended installs. I have specified the relevant folder names in the winnt.sif file and thus producing this structure:C:|\--> Applications|\--> Users|\--> SystemI absolutely hate allowing M$ to brand my PC by putting the OS in a folder names "Windows". I think this is actually the same structure that Mac OS X uses—correct me if I'm wrong, though.Firstly, does anyone else use this or similar structures? Also, does anyone know how to stop Windows from having a capitilized folder name, i.e. SYSTEM instead of the much preferred System? I think it does this no matter what name you choose; I just wish it didn't.
<SparTacuS> Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hee, hee. I'm even more obsessive - c:\-Documents and Settings-OPSYSTEM (My Windows Dir)D:\-Applications (My Program Files Dir)-Archiving (Winzip etc)-Audio (Winamp etc)-Burning (Nero etc)-Coding (My progging Apps)-DVD (DVD Authoring Apps)-Graphics (PSP, 3DS Max etc)-Office (MS Office, Adobe Acrobat etc)-Online (Torrent, FTP Clients etc)-Reference (MSReader, Maple, Mathmatica etc)-Video (Power DVD, MPClassic etc)One of the reasons that I renamed Windows and Program Files Dir's was as a (pretty lame) attempt to short circuit some malware. A very few still install to the default locations - so they don't work and are easier to remove.
