Thanks @bfc.
I have forgotten the most important hotfix :blushing:


But I have the new version for kb905474.
I think I have to change some code in "hfslip-1.7.9_beta_f.cmd".
@rhadamants gave that

Yes you should change the code. Maybe rhadamants can add the code to hfslip so it will be easier for everyone.

If you do test install can you tell me if "show desktop" shortcut in quick launch bar is there or I'm the only one I'm missing it?

Restore the Show Desktop Shortcut on Quick Launch Bar in Windows XP
March 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · Printer Friendly Version

The Quick Launch toolbar (which can be enabled by right-clicking on the taskbar, clicking “Toolbars”, and then clicking “Quick Launch) by default contains a shortcut to instantly minimize all open windows and show the desktop. It is possible to accidentally move or delete this shortcut. If you have accidentally removed the shortcut and want it back, use either of the following methods:

Automated:

1. Download this file.
2. When prompted, save the file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\

Manual:

1. Copy and paste the following lines into a Notepad file:
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=explorer.exe,3
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
2. Save the file to your Desktop as “Show Desktop.scf”.
3. Drag the “Show Desktop” file to the Quick Launch bar and release.

Just a little note. Please use the beta thread to obtain the CMD file. rhadamants had issued a few not so nice updates in the script he posted.

BTW, another option for the quicklaunch shortcut, create a CMD file called whatever you want (I call mine showdesktop.cmd) inside the HFSVCPACK folder. This works irregardless of the setting in your winnt.sif file.

IF NOT EXIST "%userprofile%\application data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" MD "%userprofile%\application data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch"
echo>"%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\Show Desktop.scf" [Shell]
echo>>"%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\Show Desktop.scf" Command=2
echo>>"%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\Show Desktop.scf" IconFile=explorer.exe,3
echo>>"%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\Show Desktop.scf" [Taskbar]
echo>>"%userprofile%\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick launch\Show Desktop.scf" Command=ToggleDesktop

It seems a bit premature to consider dropping IE7 support just after IE8 gets released. Wouldn't it be better to wait a bit longer for any (potential) issues in IE8 to get ironed out? I vote to keep supporting both versions for the time being.

@all who are integrated OnePiece-IE8
does kb968220 show up in WU or not?
There is no need for kb968220 because it's already integrated in OnePiece's IE8-Addon. At least in the actual Version 1.1.0.

Grab it here: http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?sho...=5747&st=40

You can check the installed compatitility-list of the IE8 with the following URL: res://iecompat.dll/iecompatdata.xml

My experience so far with the Version 1.1.0 is: Great! I integrated it with 1.7.9d and Windows-Update just shows me only a few things I really don't want to have! :D

I recommend this addon for an integrated IE8! No problem with missing "show desktop" shortcut in quick launch bar. But I have no experience with the actual development from rhadamants (http://www.msfn.org/...howtopic=132547).

Regards, Mimo

PS: With this AddOn you get a nice bonus wich will not be given if you install IE8 seperately: In the folder-options there is the possibility to place an IE-Icon on the desktop. I missed this possibility with the slipstreamed IE7 (sorry for the german screenshot).

Yes it is in OnePiece's IE8-Addon but it's still shown in WU. That's mean that it didn't installed correctly, at least at my setup.
No kb968220 problem with hfslip IE8 integration.

I cannot confirm that. I just looked in the windows-update and kb968220 will not be displayed as an open update.
