Just a real quick question. Is this going to be compatible for the Jan release of autopatcher?

Thats the plan, i am awaiting the new release and it is crucial to the next release that

i have. if all goes as i anticipate, then the Jan release will work just fine w/ this version too.!!

ya, for some dumb reason i accientally put that line in there during an early beta test.

during the last part of cleaning up the formatting, i accientally hit delete and the line got bumped up there next to that line.

it was supposed to look like this...

REM - DO NOT CHANGE THIS VALUE

AUTOLOGONCOUNT=2

actually the correct way its written, REM actually doesnt get written to the winnt.sif file.

its just part of the batch file.

i cant believe i actually messed that up!! sloppy to say the least!!

im going to be working on the second release hardcore on saturday... cpugeniusmv, i hope you're free saturday!!

i'm free if i'm awake ;)

I got an email asking if the new AP for January will be compatible with this current release and the answer is YES!!

1.) If you got the FULL version

-just follow the directions in the batch

2.)If you got the UPDATED version

-extract all the new files to the root of the AP folder to over-write the older files and the new ones

-start the batch and follow the directions

its super easy to get the January edition Slipped.

At this point you should be using CDRW's for this task, so you wont waste CD-Rs

hmm...any guides to a NOT unattended slipstreamed cd???...i'm gonna use this on various boxes & i want to configure each & one of them uniquely....

if i delete the unatended section of the batch file will do???

thnx for your answers

p.s looks like i'm in for another format...want to try jan update slipstreamed cause installing it afterwards gives me the known error!

hey, im ignorant, and im pretty sure i read most threads, and skimmed in the rest, so thats how i shall justify this post. so appologize if it has already been asked.

this uses an origional windows xp cd, but what if my cd is ALREADY slipstreamed? so mine is wixp sp1 type thing thats all on one cd, i shouldnt have to explain this, im just high and it seems logical to! ANYWAYS, thats my question

for many of you, you have a CD that is already slipped w/ sp1... all you have to do

is delete out of the batch file the part about slipstreaming it.

save the batch file and then run it. it will slip APXP too.

i will have a modular batch file download for the second release of the SLIPXP ready here by Wednesday night.

>>flash_st ~

if you need to make various install CD's you can always extract the winnt.sif file from the i386 folder

and edit that to include CD keys and various user settings, copy that back to the i386 and burn the

new CD. its much easier that way than running that batch file over and over again for each CD.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
