willpantin Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 $OEM$\$Doc\All Users\Desktop\ use this one to place shortcuts on the desktop.Just a question about that... I keep some shortcuts aligned vertically on the far right of the Desktop, because they are related to my work. The rest are aligned vertically on the far left.How does Windows remember the position of the shortcuts on the Desktop? Is it posible to automate the placing of each shortcut? If so, can someone provide some samples of the necessary (Registry?) tweaks...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 i dont think it is possiable to do the shortcuts appear in the default side of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 @willpantin: Yes. you can define the icon position. it is somewhere in the HOT_KEY_CURRENT_USER, with the explorer settings I believe, burried in a binary stream. i do not remember exactly which reg key, but you can find it with a before/after registy (hive) comparison. You can create the shortcuts (and desktop) on a working system, place them where you like, and export the registry settings. As for the shortcuts them selves, you will need to copy them do the desktop, or create them from an .inf file, during setup. Remember, to make reg settings for all users, it should be done from the CMDLINES.TXT section.I suspect the key you will need is somewhere near [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtremeMaC Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 (edited) No you don't need to partition your hdd thats what it is forso that u don't go create partitions, have troubles with multi boot.Virtual Pc and vmware creates a file say 2GB in your physical drive.ie hdd.vmdk, New Hard Disk.vhd So its the easiest thing to deploy. The only part where it fails is it doesn't include all the drivers. For example they use their own display adapter So If you're going to check if your updated driver works you might want to do something otherwise deploying works just great!sorry for this stupidity the page didn't fully load I thought there was only 1 page,answered wrong q Edited October 19, 2003 by XtremeMaC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty01 Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I was wondering, if I used Long filenames, or Long Directory Names, how would this affect my install procedure? (Installing w2k, not XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveXP Posted November 24, 2003 Author Share Posted November 24, 2003 in the $OEM$ folder use the $Docs one to do that the path would be like this;XPCD\$OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I think $Docs and $Progs are used by windows in migrating previous OS settings, like migrating profiles. Both folders are copied at about the 8 min left mark. Like ProgramFilesDir, it can be used in clean installs too.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
