Silvereyes Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Two of these settings are defined within HIVEDEF.INF and can be altered by usinga custom .INF file from CMDLINES.TXT to change the appropriate registry keys.HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders","Personal",0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders","My Pictures",0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures"'My Music' is defined within the Windows Mediaplayer Preferences and can bealtered in the same way.HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences","CDRecordPath",0x00020000,"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Music"You can also alter the first two manually by editing HIVEDEF.INF afternLite has finished tailoring the installation and before it creates/burnsthe image.Open HIVEDEF.INF in a text editor. Notepad can be used but it's not very good.Go directly to the end of the file and scroll up slowly until you find ablock of 'U_SHELL_FOLDERS_' entries. U_SHELL_FOLDERS_PERSONAL="%USERPROFILE%\My Documents"U_SHELL_FOLDERS_MYPICTURES="%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paralityk Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 (edited) Big thanks, this is exacly what i was looking for! Now i have to find some time to test it, and then i will say is that working UPDATE:OK, i have time, and I am now altering this strings but I cant find 'My Music' string, even when I use CTRL+F and using "find in document" option, i cant find anything. Just like it doesn't exist Also i changed My Computer name, and My Network Places (i dont remember the english ver. names) by the same way as My Documents, and My Pictures (but in other "*.INF" files)Oh and what with that "cmdlines.txt" file I also can't find it UPDATE 17.08.07I'm soo sad, after succesfully modiyfing and burning CD, and installing Windows. Nothing changed! There was still the same folder names, except My Pictures Folder with was now in "%USERPROFILE%\Files\Pictures" (Just like i wanted) but everything else was like in normal windows. Then i asked myself WTF?! Edited August 17, 2007 by Paralityk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvereyes Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hi Paralityk,Sorry about the delay in getting back to you on this. I've been busy Obviously I didn't make myself completely clear. "My Music" is not definedin the installation hives. You can only get to it after installation. I wouldsuggest creating an .INF file and execute it using RunOnceEx.The cmdlines.txt file is used to execute programs during an unattendedinstallation. The MSFN unattended installation guide can explain both ofthese.Also, have you considered using VMware Player and Daemon Tools to testyour installation disc images before burning them to physical media. It'squicker and easier then having to burn a disc then test it. It will also saveon discs even if you are using rewritable media.I hope this has been of more help.
