Anyone know how to get all Explorer windows to have the status bar enabled by default? (And by "Explorer", I do not mean IE.)

Thanks!

The settings are saved in:

QUOTE
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams - Settings


Setup your explorer as you desire (with status bar enabled and view type selected - detail, list, etc. Then export that key and setting. Here is my current default settings with statusbar enabled and view type set to list:

CODE
[Default.AddReg]
0x3,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams","Settings",\
 09,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,e0,a5,1f,0e,73,35,cf,11,ae,69,08,00,2b,\
 2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,43,00,00,00


You may also want to check out:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

As thats the key for desktop settings.

Good luck.

Hi All,

I am working on a smaller Boot CD for work with XPE.

One issue I am having is I attempt to automatically get my menu items with the NU2PARSER, but I am getting errors.

Is this the only program to copy all the items from the NU2MENU.XML over or is there something else out there too?

I am using what I think is the most current version of the nu2parser program and would hate to re-write all of my menus just to get it to work with XPE.

Can anyone give me some ideas on this.

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

Rob

You could always stop using nu2parser & just add the few lines that you need at the end of each plugins inf file.

acrobat.inf
CODE
[Software.AddReg]
; add to Start Menu\Programs
0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Internet\Acrobat Reader","%SystemDrive%\programs\acrobat\reader\acrord32.exe"


dvdshrink.inf
CODE
[Software.AddReg]
;add to Start Menu\Programs
0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Apps\DVD Shrink","%SystemDrive%\Programs\DVDShrink\dvd shrink.exe"


so on & so forth.

FWIW this is the way I do it & then I don't have to mess with nu2parser besides I had this done before nu2parser came out.

Good Luck & Cherry Mistmas to you too.

Hi all again and Merry Christmas!

I have another question (I did in fact get the issue with the menus straighten out, thanks Svenska.

I have a couple of Autorun batch files that don't want to run now with XPE installed, what is the best way to have them run?

Did I miss a location for a "Autostart" or a "Startup" folder???

Thank you again,

Rob

Here is an example of an autorun that I have in my xpe-custom.inf

@Svenska,

Would this work?

0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\800","001","||xpeinit.exe autorun2hta.cmd"
0x1,"Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\800","002","||xpeinit.exe autorun2wsh.cmd"


I noticed your number was 900 after the RunOnceEx and I saw other things already in there with the 900, thus I put in 800 instead.

I didn't see anything else in that series.

Thanks again,

Rob

I don't see why not as Sherpya has things as low as 600 in the xpe-custom.inf file. I just ass-u-me that 800 would run before the 900 series stuff is all.

I don't believe you need the xpeinit.exe again on the lines. You don't see it in my example do you?

I don't understand why you want to run these anyway as scripting support is already built into XPE. Take a look at the xpe.inf file & about a quarter of the way down is a whole section about the various kinds of scripting.

@Svenska,

Thanks for the reply.

I just grabbed the info from the custom file after looking at yours.

I also just tried it and so far, everything works just fine.

The reason I put both of these in there as I needed one of them, not sure which one yet (or both) for one of the custom programs to work (for my work).

The custom program is a graphical utility that works with Remote Administrator as without the 2 batch files, it didn't work and with them both, it worked.

One of them may not be needed, just haven't had a free minute to check out which would or would not be needed.

Thanks again,

Rob

here something.....ok....i tried to execute the appwiz.cpl for the add/remove programs on the disc....but i just get the same error as before.....so i located the appwiz.cpl on the c: and executed it.....it works you can see the program window...but .......before i make the google toolbar do an autorun that exectues its dll file and loads it to the registry so when i executed the appwiz.cpl from the c: the program window opens but the only program there is the google toolbar...
Here is a start to getting appwiz.cpl working for those interested.
1. It will allow you to add shortcuts to the desktop AFTER starting PEbuilder w/XPE
2. Does not solve the running dll's as apps which is a seperate issue.
3. Does not allow addition/deletion of programs (still working this issue)

I created a ~120 line plugin to accomplish this. I am sure others have tried this before but I have not seen this info posted before. I would copied appwiz.cpl (updated post SP1) and esfadu.dll (dependant dll not listed in XPE or other plugins) to the files directory.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone came up with something to lock the screen on bootup or while XPE is running?

So far (unless I am missing something), I have not been able to get the PELock to work correctly with XPE where it works fine the normal way.

Thanks for your help,

Rob

Hi,

I want to boot XPE via RIS but It seems that there are the same problems as starting from harddisk (no problems in vmware). After the autoramresizer finished work, Ive got the following errors:

- DllInstall failure in shell32.dll
- netshell.dll load error
- browseui.dll load error
- shdocvw.dll load error
- inetcpl.dll load error
- ie4uinit.exe run error
- urlmon.dll load error
- themeui.dll load error

=> After these errormessages ive got a blue screen (KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR)

Starting PE only with nu2menu via RIS works fine without an error!

Ive read that copying emptyregdb.dat and grpconv.exe should solve the problems.
GrpConv.Exe is available, but were I can find emptyregdb.dat?

Did somebody have any ideas?

Thankx
Zitronenjette
Did nobody have an answer to that question?

Hello

I have been trying to get XPE to build from a Win XP Pro CD, on a Windows 2000 Pro PC.

Does not build. I am useing the latest PE Builder. Can some one help me out ?
stickboy
Can you build the PEBuilder ISO image fine without XPE? Are you using an XP CD slipstreamed with service pack 1?
Frank D. Hubeny
I am useing a Win XP CD with service pack 1a intergrated. A offical MS CD.

My system is running Windows 2000 pro with service pack 4 intergrated. I am useing pebuilder 3025. I have copied all of the XP CD onto my hard drive and removed all read only attributes.

I can build and boot up and use a CD with out " XPE version .95 " as a plugin. When I add it into the build menue. I get about 30 errors, and no image.

Hope this helps.

Info Needed

CODE
0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","NU2Menu\Programs\Acrobat Reader 4.0","%SystemDrive%\Programs\adobe\acrobat 4.0\reader\Acrord32.exe"


The above doesn't produce a menu item that works.

There is a space in the directory between acrobat and 4.0

I did not make the plugin, but it will work in nu2menu without problems.

Hi

I need to update a earlier posting in this topic.

I found out that I need to add " NU2PARSER " to my plugins. Then I was able to build a XPPE CD on my Windows 2000 Pro PC. With out it I could not build a CD.

I did build a CD on a Windows 2000 Server PC without the " NU2PARSER ". It did boot up.

So, if you have a W2K PC make sure you add the " NU2PARSER ".

I found this out after I posted earlier.

Now I have a question about larger font / icon support. Is there a way to pick which fonts, or change the size. When I go into the display and choose large fonts. The icons seem to disappear.

Hmmm, I make my PE just fine without enabling the NU2menu plugin. I do however add a line to my custom.inf :

CODE
; For compatibility with other plugins so that append will not generate errors
nu2menu.xml=2,,1


to make the other plugins not fail at the APPEND statements for the menu.

Hello Group:

I would like to try the XPE plugin. Byut do have a few questions about it. I now am useing version 3026, and just NU2MENU.

1. What additional plugins are needed for XPE.

2. What basic PE plugins should be disabled, and why.

3. Is there a simple way to get the NU2MENU plugins to be added to XPE program menu. With out useing NU2parser.

I have tryied out XPE a number of times but have always had a few problems with my basic set of NU2MENU plugins not working. Biginfo, and OB1.

Frank
Svenska
@rootman

I have several different builds with & without nu2menu as my primary shell depending on what size media I'm burning therefore adding your line to the custom.inf would not be condusive to that. Enabling or not the nu2menu plugin is easier & faster.

I have no Append statement in my plugins therefore as I suspected nu2menu.xml is hard coded in PE Builder. Nu2menu does not appear in the pebuilder.inf file.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. <g>

@Frank

1. no
2. whatever you don't want
3. simpler, no; better, yes
add code to each plugin as reg'd, see sample below

CODE
[Software.AddReg]
; add to Start Menu\Programs
0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Networking\Remote Desktop","%WinDir%\system32\mstsc.exe"


Why would you want to run OB1 when you have IE enabled when using the XPE plugin? Also I believe that you're talking about BGinfo & not BIGinfo. I find it relatively useless when you boot the cd as the info it generates concerns the cd and you should know what that info is already. JMHO and the AIDA plugin instead.
Also it sounds like your networking plugin is not configured properly.
teletom
A simple way without using nu2parser:

use the !profkit - plugin (profile - kit):
http://people.freenet.de/tele_tom/pebuilder.htm
(only a few mouse - clicks to setup)

create in the <pebuilder>\plugin\<yourplugin> folder a startmenu shortcut.
create c:\programs\<yourplugin> and copy the exe-file into this folder,
create shortcut --> properties --> replace C:\ with %SystemDrive%\.

Put this shortcut in the <pebuilder>\plugin\<yourplugin> folder
and copy the <pebuilder>\plugin\!profkit\plugin\pupd.cmd
to <pebuilder>\plugin\<yourplugin> folder.

Start <pebuilder>\plugin\!profkit\update.cmd and start the pebuilder.exe.

update.cmd creates a profiledir folder structure with contents before pebuilder runs.
(inclusive favorites).

Hello rootman;

You mentioned JMHO, and AIDA. Are they both plugins, and what do they do ?
Also the code you give as an example. Do you remove the append section, and then add your code.

Hello All:

I just made my first XPE CD it all seems to work, even my own plugin for GnuPG.

I was able to modify the coustom inf to have the start menu alwas on the bottom.

Is there any way that I can add a line to have XPE come up in a lower resolution, 600 x 480 is easier for me to read. If there is could someone post the need information.

Hi

I have a little question on the adding shortcuts to the Start Menu, how can i add switches? I Mean when i tried adding a switch for ghost32 i.e

0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Symantec Norton Ghost 8.0\Ghost 8.0 (Install Windows XP Home SP1)","%SystemDrive%\Programs\ghost32\ghost32.exe -rb -sure -or -id -clone,mode=load,src=%SystemDrive%\ITW\images\XPINST.GHO,dst=1"

the switches get all wierd when in BartPE.

i tried with f-prot (f-prot.exe /nofloppy) for example it turns to f-prot.exe \nofloppy? unsure.gif
paraglider
It should be:

0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Symantec Norton Ghost 8.0\Ghost 8.0 (Install Windows XP Home SP1)","%SystemDrive%\Programs\ghost32\ghost32.exe| -rb -sure -or -id -clone,mode=load,src=%SystemDrive%\ITW\images\XPINST.GHO,dst=1"

The format is:

0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","<Shortcut Info>","<Program Path>|<Program Parameters>|<Icon Path>,<Icon Number>"

<Program Parameters>, <Icon Path>,<Icon Number> are optional.

I am useing version .95 of XPE. I find that the option in the custom file to auto hide the tak bar on the bottom of the screen does not work. Small item.

Frank

Is it possible to assign an icon to Disk Commander? It seems to be my only menu entry that is different. Maybe the |/1996 is the cause? All other icons assign with no problem.



Note: When I try to assign a new icon from the Disk Commander properties window (on CD), I get the following error message...

Windows cannot find the file |%SystemDrive%Programs\dskcmd\dskcmd.ico.



I can then, locate the .ico manually and it assigns properly, but I notice only one Chevron instead of two, which seems curious.


None working icon example:

0x2,"Sherpya\XPEinit\Programs","Disk Tools\Disk Commander File Recovery","%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Programs\dskcmd\dskcmw32.exe |/1996||%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Programs\dskcmd\dskcmd.ico"

If anyone has this working could you please help?

Auto hide, in XPE 9.5, works for me like this:

You have too many |. It should be:

Thanks once again. It finally works...

I've been using || incorrectly on everything and luckily they still worked, except this one.

Guess now I'll make the corrections.

How did you know what I was working on? ;-)

I just added a "How to" page to Svenska's XpPe and from the "How to" page you can download my plugins which are for XPE only. All the XpPe plugins are together in one file configured the way that I use them. Feel free to change whatever you like to suit your needs.

Nu2menu is available from the XpPe menu but you don't have to use it. The nu2menu.xml I've edited by hand because the plugins stopped writing to the nu2menu.xml file a long time ago. I have autorun call nu2menu when I load the disk over the top on a system that is already running Windows therefore I believe that I have the best of both worlds.
Frank D. Hubeny
Hello Svenska

Thank you I will try it out. I really do want to try " XPE " out with just
" XPE " plugins.

I do not like the idea that I can not change the font sizes. " XPE " will allow one to use large fonts, but then you I loose most of the icons.

I tried out a line that would allow me to boot up into 600 by 480. But the boot up was the same. 800 by 600.

May be someone will come up with a INF that will allow one to change fonts seen prior to build. I hope so.

Your " XPE " set will allow me to try it out in a pure XPE enviroment.
