MHz Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 [COMMANDS]"REGEDIT /S ..\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg"This should do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 and why don't just place it in the same folder as cmdlines.txt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a06lp Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 [COMMANDS]"REGEDIT /S ..\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg"This should do it.i'm not exactly sure how this is working, but my cmdlines.txt is in XPCD\$OEM$wouldn't "REGEDIT /S ..\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg" look for it in: XPCD\$OEM$\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg ?? or am i missing something???SiMoNsAyS Posted on Dec 8 2004, 11:26 AM and why don't just place it in the same folder as cmdlines.txt? durex Posted on Dec 8 2004, 05:23 PM same reason i dont, i imagine.. anal retentive. LOL. thats it, partially. also because i run my regtweaks again from WPI later on (from the CD), and I don't want 2 copies of the file, in case i update one and forget the other. plus, i want to limit installing to the new formatted harddrive to as little as possible.

prathapml Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 wouldn't "REGEDIT /S ..\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg" look for it in: XPCD\$OEM$\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg ?? or am i missing something???No, that would work perfectly the way you want it.The two dots mean "parent folder". So, you work it out and see...\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg--equals--XPCD\Tweaks\RegTweaks.reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCT Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 fyi..\install\reg\something.reg\ = cdrootor, u can do it the way they are showing & go up a level with . (which IMO is harder 2 learn) \ = %cdrom% sort of [commands]"\install\reg\something.reg"would work if u have an "install" directory @ the root of your cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadikan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 GreenMachine's explanation of the same stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Short answer....\ = Current directory..\ = Up one directory\ is a backslash. On it's own means nothing.We are using DOS, correct? Not a program helper.I think GreenMachine's post is being taken in the wrong meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
