I have read an article about Slipstream SP2 on this web site below, the guy who wrote the article has added Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP onto his WINXP SP2 CD.

No circumventing the spam filter.

(i put the spaces because this forum block the without spaces)

I would like to know if somebody has added/put the Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP onto their WINXP SP2 CDs.

Can somebody please attach a screenshot showing PowerToys softwares (i mean which ones you have on your cd and how have you organized them). So that i'll have an idea how to organize PowerToys softwares.

I am asking this because i want to add/put Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP to my WINXP SP2 CD and i don't know in which folders do i place them too.

where do i create a folder?

Is it XPCD\SUPPORT\TOOLS

OR XPCD\SUPPORT\

and what is the name given to the folder in SP1 CD (i am making WINXP SP2 CD)?

well it depends what yo uare trying to do. if you just want them on the cd to have incase you want to install them later then you can just put them in any folder in your cd-root, the folder you listed here

OR XPCD\SUPPORT\

is for some other tools, mainly for network admins.

On my WinXP CD I have a folder...

%CDROM%\Software\PowerToysXP\

In that folder I have:


PowerCalcPowertoySetup.exe
TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe


In my Apps.cmd I have

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Calculator Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %CDROM%\Software\PowerToysXP\PowerCalcPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qn

ECHO.
ECHO Installing Task Switch Powertoy
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %CDROM%\Software\PowerToysXP\TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe /s /v/qn

The Open Command Window Here powertool I employ via a registry setting:

;Right-Click Open Command Window Here
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd \"%L\"\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"cd \"%L\"\""

Finally I install Tweak UI.exe simply by dropping it in the Windows\System32 folder (or any folder you like) and creat a shortcut to it in my start menu.

Hope that helps.

Or.....put it in your Control Panel.

;Show TweakUI at Control Panel
