clavicle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I also tried to change the same using a customized desktop.ini which gets copied in runonce.cmd or installs.bat. But it works sometimes at others it doesn't. But if you try and refine it, it certainly will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
