    Donation = No Ads

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted

    How much do you consider a "reasonable" donation to get a keycode?

     

    I only ask this question because I am sure there are people that would attempt to take the 'sly' way out and donate very little (or as little as possible).  I myself am unemployed, so I have to watch where my funds go carefully, but I would consider donating to your cause as I have used your program and like it very much.

     

     

    Not sure, probably about $5. I'm definitely willing to discuss it in this thread.

    I'm pretty sure that what you can afford, whether it be 1p, £1 or £1000 would be gratefully received by Mr. Legloash

    I found a useful little utility a couple of years back called Auto Clicker. My PC starts to shut down things after 10 minutes so I set this to do a virtual mouse click every 8 minutes when I want things done while I'm away.

    It may be of use to you.

    P.S. I've never "registered" my download and it's still going!!

    Removing components a second time?

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted

    If I've run WTK and then decide I should have disabled a couple of services, do I need to select components again from my loaded settings .ini file.

     

    At the moment I'm running a "standard" settings file but if I need to run WTK again the only option I don't choose in the standard file is the updates as they're already there.

     

    I ran it once without choosing a settings file and all the "tweaks" were not applied, hence the method I use now.

     

    But I would like to speed up the second etc. runs a bit! So the minimum number of options I need to select would be a help!!

    I've also had DMCA's, for uploading an old version of Windows Live that everyone was clamouring for at the time. Some system files I'd made containing all the icons I'd made (which is still on dA) and, can you believe this one, a folder icon!!

    All I can say is it's a good job I've still got the Live.exe file tucked away elsewhere!!

    [Solved] 1.50 t38 Problem

    in Win Toolkit

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    I just ran a quick image through 1.50 t38 on Professional.

    The settings.ini shows: Recent Docs::Hide

    But in the registry log it's showing:

    13-12-2012_01:51AM | WriteValue: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WIM_Admin\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced | Start_ShowRecentDocs=1| DWord

    No error reports generated but I can upload the files that were generated if you require them.

    Hi Lego,

    Might not be the right place to answer, but that never stops me!! :D These are the four updates that I now run in my setupcomplete file as they've never seemed to "take".

    KB2533552-x64.msu You know about this one I believe.

    KB2592687-x64.msu

    KB2603229-x64.msu

    KB917607-x64.msu This is for compatibility with the older Windows help (.hlp) files.

    Autounattend Account Name Problem

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    OK Problemo solved. Don't add a personal folder to the wim. Wait for the system to be up and running and your account created and then you can drop them in (removed Elmer B. Fuddled folder from 1 image (Pro) to try it out).

    I was trying to jump the gun and add folders in "my" AppData folder. Need to find another way of doing it :(.

    Autounattend Account Name Problem

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    Well I've (nearly) got my AU.xml file setupcomplete.cmd and Firstlogon.cmd running pretty good. BUT!! I've only just noticed that I have a problem with the user account name.

    Should be User Account Elmer B. Fuddled Computer Name FEELGOOD-iNC but the user account name I'm ending up with is Elmer B. Fuddled.FEELGOOD-iNC.

    If I remove the computer name from the autounattend then I get a UI to name it, this new name then gets appended to my User Name.

    On the left is what it should be (a folder that I've slipped into the .wim file) and on the right... Account as made up for me.

    Is there anything that I can do to prevent this / where am I going wrong?

    First time playing with the $OEM$ Folder problems

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    Well I've had a change of heart and decided to try and run from the autounattend.xml. That wouldn't work at all (the xml) to start with, it was only when I was going to add a number to the name end I noticed a space between the 'attend' and '.xml' !!!!

    So the first logon does what it should when I run it manually, the xml does what it should EXCEPT launching the firstlogon.cmd file.

    First time playing with the $OEM$ Folder problems

    in Microsoft Windows 7

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    This is the first time I've played with the $OEM$ folder and I'm getting lost!!

    I'm trying to run a setupcomplete.cmd to add five updates that never seem to take (for me) and some reg files.

    I've realised that HKCU needs to go after first logon so I'm trying to get setupcomplete.cmd to add a runonceex key that will launch firstlogon.cmd. But nothing seems to be working!

    These are my ( crappy?? :D ) files:

    setupcomplete.cmd


    @echo off

    SET "LOGFILE=%systemdrive%\SetUp Install.log"

    RunOnce.reg

    REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "User Reg Entries" "C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\firstlogon.cmd" /f
    REG ADD %KEY% /v Flags /t REG_DWORD /d "20" /f

    I added the updates into firstlogon as they don't appear after running the setupcomplete. Obviously if setupcomplete isn't running correctly then firstlogon won't be running!! All the HKCU entries from the above reg files are in the below reg files

    firstlogon.cmd

    Now. No laughing too loud, I know where you live!! :w00t: :D

    EDIT:

    I also believe I can run the firstlogon from the autounattend but that'd probably lose me even more

    Personal Folder

    in OLD Threads

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    Can you add an option under Tweaks > Start Menu to not have Personal folder shown?

    I may be on my own here but I don't use it, its the only thing that's wrong with my Start Menu after all the other tweaks (I need) are applied!

    EDIT!!!

    By adding this reg file into (both) the entries found in WIM registry the Personal docments folder (usually your name) doesn't show! Oh joy!


    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
    "Start_ShowUser"=dword:00000000

    Now if I could only get the start button to always be on the Re-Start setting! Think I'll try the latest beta this time.

    KB2533552 Problems

    Posted · Edited by ElmerBeFuddled

    create folders: $OEM$\$$\SETUP\SCRIPTS then you put KB2533552 hotfix inside folder (SCRIPT) along with setupcomplete.cmd

    Well, I dropped the assembled $OEM$ folder in sources, ran the .iso, nothing there. Methinks I was cracking up, so had a nice brew and a couple of fags before I came back to check everything.

    Opened sources, there's $OEM$, opened that, there's $$, opened...........AAAAaaaHH!!! Therein lies my problem! The folder wasn't named $$ at all, it was named %%!! Dufus that I am!

    So, When I explore my DVD (ISO) file this is what I see.

    Capture.png

    Have I got the $OEM$ folder in the right place? The updates are inside an $$ folder that's inside the $OEM$ folder. Have I done that right? TBH I've never played with the $OEM$ folder before, ever, so I'm a tad lost!!
