    Hi Am trying to add ONLY a context menu. For example i want to have this as the name "tools" eg Tools>addon maker, script editor, and so on Basically all my tools and utilities are located in system32/tools directory, and i want to access them via context menu (right click>tools) and also have 2 or 3 menu's inside the "tools" context menu, and have them pointed to my exe files which are located in system32/tools directory. How do i add this context menu(s) via inf? A basic inf template for this will do, as i do have a bit experience with inf files. Thank you

    Is there any way of using multiple cab files.... Reason I ask... I am currently working on a addon that has more than 2000 files in it..... Alot of files will have to be renamed.... Was wondering if I could use multiple cab files so I wouldn't have to rename tons and tons of files..... Sort of like.... file1.cab would have like 20-30 files in it that would goto This.Dir file2.cab would have like 20-30 files in it that would goto That.Dir etc.... Hope this explains it well enough....

    When you use an inf addon during an ui, the inf is automatically copied to %windir%\inf if I you convert the inf to a silent exe and that during an ui, will the inf be copied to %windir%\inf I'm not at home and it would take me a couple of hours to find out, using my laptop tia ***EDIT*** When using the silent installer, the inf is not automatically copied to the %windir%\inf folder. Can the inf be copied by the inf? I have been trying the copyINF directive, but that changes the name of the inf to OEM*.inf and can't be referenced by the uninstaller. Anyone have any ideas? Again, any help is appreciated. thx ***EDIT*** Adding this to the config.txt for the silent installer…
