Hello,

could anyone tell me how to get program entries in the start menu of BS Explorer?

In Windows Explorer all entries generated very well!

Thanks for your help!

You have to (or someone has to) generate a bs_start.ini file. The format is described in ReadMeEn.txt from http://www.kursknet....a/en/index.html

Hi JonF,

thank's for the reply. I know that I could edit the ini-file manually. But vpeldr from VistaPE does it automatically. Is there a posibility to do this in win7pe also automatically?

Regards,

[JonF]

Certainly possible ... but I'm not the person that could do it. I hope one of them will stop in soon.

@joshua

is it possible to include the special BSExplorer-code in your win7pe-loader?

@joshua

I use other programming language. (VB6)
It is possible to convert it, but i don't like to do that, because i don't understand,
why it is done by the loader???
The vpeldr also needs resident memory!

Why not generate complete bs_start.ini during build time?
I need to look deeper into that!

@Joshua

thanks for quick reply!

I don't kow why nightman implemented this functionality in vpeldr?

Fantastic idea: A script generates bs_start.ini and the other config-files during build time!

Maybe someone can do it.

Why not generate complete bs_start.ini during build time?

Because the path to some programs is not known until run time. If the program is not Run from RAM, it lives on the CD, and you don't know the CD drive letter until the system is booted. You could generate a near-complete bs_start.ini but it would have to be patched at run time.

AutoIT code is very close to VB code, and is easily translated. Or you could reference the document to which I linked and do it from scratch.

you would probably have less headaches doing it from scratch. the vpeldr code tends to screw up alot, creating duplicate folders, empty folders, etc.

Yes you are right! I will add it to my todo list. But other thinks have higher priority!

Thanks man but don't get surprised, I'm new to all that and just explore the huge work on this forum

I'm trying to build WinPE 3.0 on my own from the boot.wim of Windows 7 RTM, so how can I get this BS Explorer shell or extract it from the project you refer to.

Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

I track all your posts and you're really helpful in this forum.
