Thanks to nuhi at nLite I have enough room on one CD for several apps, including a shrunken OfficeXP (see Shrink Office).

My cmdlines.txt & install.cmd are in the $OEM$ folder, alongside the $1 folder.

What seems odd to me is that AIDA32, IrfanView, and PSPad install their shortcuts to the AllUsers profile, but 7Zip is installed to the Default User profile. Why the difference when they're all installed from the same cmd file at the same time?

Another question is why the shortcuts generated have the .lnk extension showing in the start menu?

Is the solution to delete the system generated shortcuts as at cleanup.cmd and make my own using shortcut.exe (Shortcut.exe)?

Epitaph:

Sometimes I hate it when a computer does exactly what I tell it to......the .lnk behavior was from a regtweak I'd added.

Still leaves the odd (to me) behavior of the allusers vs default user question. <Shrugs> Oh well it's working in any event.

You could just move all shortcuts from one location to another from your cleanup.cmd.

[COMMANDS]

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

"Install.cmd"

ASK:

The "Install.cmd" put where?

or "Install.cmd" path is where?

MSFN Unattended Guide

No one is logged on at cmdlines.txt. Shortcuts for all users profile, go to all users profile. Shortcuts for user profile, go to default user profile.

Same happens with reg entries. current user entries, go to default user entries, in cmdlines.txt.
