Alanoll strikes again with a perfect shot!

LOL, yeah he did, but the joy of it seems to have led you to double-post, maybe?

I just have to ask... again. If I put C:\WIN51IP won't the script look for the dir? Wouldn't it be better to put C:\boot.bin instead?

No, it won't necessarily look for the directory.

And yes, it'd be a better option to look for "C:\WIN51IP.SP2" than any other.

10x, yet again, prathapml!

any idea how can I bundle this into the install CD ?

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.bmp

it's the converted current wallpaper

A search for the subject threw up this result - pre-set background

Please don't just add in posts to an existing thread......

Only replies to a previous post are normally posted in a running topic (such as this).

You can start a new topic and post your batch-file - that way lots more people will see it, otherwise, most will simply skip reading a thread that they've already seen.

Nice work..

To save some typing you might change your batch to something like this loop for finding your source.

FOR %%I IN (D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z) DO (

IF EXIST %%I:\WIN51IP.SP1 SET CDROM=%%I:

)

Same for:

FOR %%I IN(.blt,.cue,.diz,.eml,.iss,ETC,ETC...) DO (

ASSOC %%I=txtfile

)

sorry to bump into this rather already old topic, but I'd like to ask gosh something about Trick #3: Associate file types...

REM ftype will also show all registered types

assoc .blt=txtfile

assoc .cue=txtfile

assoc .diz=txtfile

assoc .eml=txtfile

assoc .iss=txtfile

assoc .log=txtfile

assoc .md5=txtfile

assoc .m3u=txtfile

assoc .nbi=txtfile

assoc .nfo=txtfile

assoc .nt=txtfile

assoc .pif=txtfile

assoc .sam=txtfile

assoc .sif=txtfile

assoc .sfv=txtfile

assoc *=txtfile

What do you exactly mean by...REM ftype will also show all registered types...?

and the last one: assoc *=txtfile...doens't this mean all other files will be associated to a txtfile?

then...if I put your assoc commands in "filetype.cmd" for instance and I link that in "RunOnceEx.cmd" like this:

ECHO.
ECHO Associating File Types
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\filetype.cmd

Whould that work?

i wanted to use the 'association file types' method too, for my Unattended XP CD.

in fact it simply doesn't work at all, for me

here is what i use :

assoc.bat is launched at the begining of my RunOnceEx.cmd :

CLS
@echo off

REM ftype will also show all registered types
assoc .log=txtfile
assoc .nfo=txtfile
assoc .sfv=txtfile
assoc .sif=txtfile
assoc .srt=txtfile
assoc .sub=txtfile
assoc *=txtfile

EXIT

part from runonceex.cmd :

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\assoc.bat" /f

i suppose the method can work, my knowlegde in unattended cd creation is not enough advanced, but in my case it has no effect.

Rename your batch file to assoc.bat

Rename your batch file to assoc.bat

oh, i made a type error, i edit my previous post.

of course, it's assoc.bat and not assoc.cmd which is called in runonceex.cmd

sorry
