New IE Removal Fileset

@echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00> logon.reg

@echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]>> logon.reg

@echo "DefaultUserName"="%UserName%">> logon.reg

@echo "DefaultPassword"="">> logon.reg

@echo "AutoAdminLogon"="1">> logon.reg

regedit /s logon.reg

You aren't using ForceAutoLogon so I assume you're working with XP only. In that case, replace the above with the below; it'll save you 7 bytes...

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /d %UserName% /f
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /f
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /d 1 /f

Don't forget that you could always have HFSLIP automatically parse files for you during installation. Right now, it can parse cmd, reg and inf files at t-13. You just need to craft up the files and put them into the HFSVPK folder.

One of my Italian readers, and I think a non-MSFN'er, rewrote one of his own adaptations of my defrag INF to an optional component for SYSOC. Seems such an obvious thing to do, but I never thought of it. Add/Remove Windows Components would have it -- a nice feature I think. I think it would be great for not only the DFRG.IN_, but also the winhtml.inf.

What does this do? Put the option to install or uninstall defrag in Add/Remove Windows comonents?

Nope, ditched XP to come play with this. Sure going to miss those 3d buttons though. Guess there is always Window Blinds.

saugatak - yes, this is to add defragger to Add/Remove Windows Components.

crash & burn - yeah, you're right about the 99 pages thing, i think its time to start a new thread. about the autologon thing.

squeeto - i have to admit, i never noticed the scrollbars on the CMD being gone. i do miss them. anyone know why they went away <LOL> i should know but i have no idea...

okay anyone up for an hfslip holiday party? probably in northern new jersey. late december.

this should give you all notice to buy your plane tickets

[Squeeto]

One thing I really miss is the scrollbar on the CommandPrompt; can we get that back?

If you like the scrolls, like me, I think this will do it -

edit hivedef.inf

; Set 80x25 instead of 80x300

HKCU,"Console","ScreenBufferSize",0x00010003,19660880

HFSLIP holiday party? Count me in.

[saugatak]

I live in So Cal now, but grew up in Northern NJ and lived there most of my life.

I'll be there for the holidays so if there really is going to be an HFSLIP party, I'd love to come. Miss the East Coast.

saugatak - actually, although i joke a lot, this is for real

we'll be doing this between xmas and new years, some night 26th through 30th, what is best for everyone?

three so far -- tommyp, fdv and saugatak, who else B)

(although it will probably be a low-key affair in a pub, i will admit)

squeeto - thanks, that was FAST!

p.s. to everyone 2,248 downloads of hfslip last month.

@Squeeto:

OK... Misunderstanding there.

Add this line, then:

@echo "ForceAutoLogon"="1">> logon.reg

If you don't include it, Windows 2000 will logon automatically only once.

When are we going to see the release?

Or do you have something to adjust? Could we help you?

Good idea with a party Unfortunately I can't visit this year but it could become a good tradition.

[fdv]

hey oleg_ii, what i want to do is to optionalize defrag and mshtml INF installers.

they would be called from SYSOC and Add/Remove Windows Components would have them.

i know how to do it, i am just busy... maybe it's not as easy as i think?

anyway, after that, i'm replacing the old set with the new set, and want to thank everyone for contributing so much debugging and know-how...

@FDV

I'm flying in on Christmas, parents live in Bergen County, northern NJ. Name the date and place, I'll be there.

Maybe we should start a party thread, get suggestions for places to hang out?

[Squeeto]

@Tomcat:

Thanks, actually it -seems- that I don't need the ForceAutoLogon (as well as DefaultPassword) as my user has admin rights and is caught by the AutoAdminLogon.

I am satisfied with the operation now, so .....

It was hinted that a thread for this would have been better.

Is it possible not to include IE link in Quick Launch? If QL can't be created without a link maybe use some other pointer like Notepad or disk C:

Just don't like this icon
