junale Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 i want to integrate my favorites into the unattended cd, how to to that?maybe just copy them to the userdir, but how to find it? i don't want to copy it to an path like c:\.... because of different languages. is there any %userdir% or something like this?

Bachus Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I compress my favorites, quick launch icons and start menu shortcuts into a rar file and then use unrar.exe (I copied it to the system32 directory to make things easier) to extract the file. Simply use a path like %systemdrive%\whatever you want. Of course, this won't help if you're using different usernames so in that case I can't help you.

webmedic Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 well that would add them to your winnt.sif. By the way what does that portion of winnt.sif look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 He's using Setup Manager from the Windows XP Deployment Tools. More information on that can be found here: http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/gettingstarted.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junale Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 thx, should read more, but i'm new to MSFN... but - thank god - i found it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iced^ Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 That's great if you've got a couple of favourites but i've got in the region of 100 probably more so adding them one by one would be quite tedious :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignis Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 im sorry, but i know nothing about coding, i only know mirc scripting, i could do an little addon that would be able to convert explorer favorites to winnt.sif format... but i think its not useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachus Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Besides, it doesn't seem as though one could put any favorites in folders using this method. I don't know about you guys, but I like things nice and organized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0r3d Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Try this.In your batch file, copy your link shortcuts to:%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\FavoritesThat ought to do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywi Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 this is exacter%USERPROFILE%\Favoritesor change your Registry-Entry of Favorites to a folder of d:\Favorites.... or e:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Some people use an SFX archive to extract the favourites silently. Or the %USERPROFILE%\Favorites using XCOPY like the others have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
