goatfuzz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) For an unattended setup, I've been trying to get sub-folders into my programs list so my start-programs list isn't a mile long. I can't figure out how to make the subfolders go where I want them. I've read in the forums but I just don't quite get it as to how to.I'd like to get it so that I have, for example, start/programs/browsers or start/programs/text readers, etc. and then my actual items listed in each sub-folder.I just cannot figure it out. I've been learning to do some things, but I just don't understand this stuff. If someone could explain it in simple language, I would really appreciate the help.Thanks Edited August 28, 2009 by goatfuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatfuzz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 clarification: I meant to say.. I want to make the sub-folders as I integrate the new programs using nlite. I can integrate them all day long, but can't figure out how to make the sub-folders during integration. My integrated programs always just show up under start/programs and no signs of the sub-folders, so I know I'm doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Just create the folders makes no sense without the links in it.Maybe you`re looking for something like this:I do this with a SFX after XP- and Program-Installations.This is my SFX, but beware to execute it - it will destroy your old startmenu permanently,because it`s deleteting all older entries.DOWNLOAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatfuzz Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 g-force, yes that's about exactly what I'm trying to do. I just can't figure out how to set it up as I'm building my unattended install in nlite.I'm gonna experiment with your file, I have computer that I'm using as a test dummy.. a 10g hdd and I just reformat and change the os with every try. It's great for not messing up my main computer!I've got a LOT of learning to do yet. I really don't understand what I'm doing, but I'm trying! Thanks!!!

Kurt_Aust Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 You could just create a batch file and call it from nLite's RunOnce section, the one I use is attached.MenuReorg.bat.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 THX @ Kurt Aust, that`s the way I did before.But I ran into problems when files where missing and couldn`t been moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatfuzz Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks guys for the help!!! I'm gonna try both of your suggestions I think and see which one works best for me. I haven't had much time at all to try anything since I posted my question, and have to go out of town for the next few days, but I will try both ideas and let you know how it goes.
