Adding new templates.

Why didn't you give me that info in the beginning, that would have made it so much easier.

You can use InstallWatch before you create a new template and trace the registry changes it made, then export them for me.

P.S. What program do you use for vpk files other than notepad?

I mean what do you install for vpk files to get added?

OK copy the FileName.vpk file you want to get added to %Systemroot%\ShellNew and right click on HKCR/.vkp/ShellNew add a new string value

Name it FileName and the Value data: should be the name of the file in %Systemroot%\ShellNew

Here is mine i did with a INF addon file

You can export and convert the reg strings to batch if you needed, just export and post what registry entries you think need to get added and I can convert them to batch if you wanted... You could copy the .vpk file to %SystemRoot%\ShellNew with the batch file also ;)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vkp\ShellNew]
"FileName"="3152859.vkp"

Also ^^

i noticed that if I call it something and put it in the templates folder. it will work too :)

so I have a file named "3152859.vkp" in my "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Templates" folder.

Thank you Rick! :D

@Rick,

I have created 4 files.

1 .bat file.

2 .reg files.

1 .VKP file.

My batch file, is moving the VKP to the needed place, and calling the TWO reg files. After that, pause, and after pressing a key, it deletes the 4 files....

I just can't pack it in a .exe file!

Do you know any good program to make self-extracting archives which can launch the .BAT file after extraction?

Also without "YES" "NO" boxes. Like a silent installer.

Also, what is the command so it says "YES" to the two reg files ?

So it don't asks, about "DO YOU WANT TO ADD"... ? :)

If you can answer these questions, I WILL be very happy :D
