The reason SOF doesnt remember the layout is because most files do not get copied over to the profile before it packs it.

This was by choice of its creator because it contains hard coded paths, but I think you can just put the files you want in manally before you choose to package it.

Im not sure which file takes care of the browser layout though.

well i guess that i will just put in a crap load of files and see what happens

i followed this and copied the stuff from my profile folder to the profile folder for silence of the foxes. ill let you guys know how it goes.

works like a charm!!! it even saved my passwords! its 8.24mb, like 2x normal but it has all of my stuff in it.

anyone know of anyway to do thunderbird yet? i would like to have a theme installed and for my profile to be saved.

Thunderbird is the same, but its best to copy the profile over before install else for some reason copying it over after will not work because TB wants the import wizard to run.

but if you copy it over first, the installer checks for it and then knows it doesnt need to run the import wizard.

I made my own installer, download latest thunderbird and extract anywhere into a folder.

Configure your current install and then go to

Start/Run and then type in %appdata%

Copy the Thunderbird folder and put it inside the folder where you extracted the installer (the one that has setup.exe in).

Paste the following into a command file, and call it assoc.cmd (must be called this for the autoit exe to call it)

SET KEY=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Mozilla Thunderbird

REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\mail /ve /t REG_SZ /D "Mozilla Thunderbird"
REG ADD HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Clients\mail /ve /t REG_SZ /D "Mozilla Thunderbird"

REG ADD "%KEY%" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "Mozilla Thunderbird" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%" /v "DLLPath" /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\mozMapi32.dll" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\shell\open\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -mail" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\shell\properties" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "Thunderbird &Options" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\shell\properties\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -options" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\protocols\mailto" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "URL:MailTo Protocol" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\protocols\mailto" /v "URL Protocol" /t REG_SZ /D "" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe,0" /f
REG ADD "%KEY%\protocols\mailto\shell\open\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -compose" /f

Also place it in the same folder.

Download attached compiled autoIt script and put it into the same folder

Then using this guide make a 7zip installer, using config.txt to call the compiled autoit script

install.exe

Configure your current install

and you put a password on the script? what is the password or can u post the script?

directly copying the profile should work most times but... if you change your username, path to extensions or similar profile will be corrupted

just to be sure you keep it in mind

[ripken204]

just copying it worked,thx

the theme is there without having to install it...

all of my server info is there, my spam list, its so nice

RunWait( "Thunderbird_setup.exe -ms" )
DirRemove(@AppDataDir & "\Thunderbird", 1)
DirCopy("Thunderbird", @AppDataDir & "\Thunderbird", 1)
MsgBox(0, "", "Installation Is Complete", 5)

Nah the script I put down as uncompilable, but your script is pretty much the same, accept mine just runs the cmd file silently using the _RunDos command to make TB the default client.

Configure, as in install ure skins, setup your filters etc

well at least were thinking on the same page, thx
