Hi!
I was just wondering, if anyone would use his/her PE for something else but testing new builds or fixing Computers?
Do you work on an interseting project or plan to do so or just have an awesome idea for a project?
Share it!

Sounds good!!

Here's my idea - how about a project called (for example) "Windows Tweaks"?

Nothing fancy, but would be good start to share some scripts with nice custom tweaks.

I had to download the powertoys from ms to write the reg keys that allow right-click "Add Command Prompt here.." because I no longer remembered which keys to write - this would be much more fun just running a script along with other small things.

Lots of good common knowledge gets lost everywhere..

Maybe you looked in the wrong place...

From the DSFOK package:
http://members.ozema...eezip/freeware/
http://members.ozema...eware/dsfok.zip

Contains a .inf file:
DOS Prompt Here NT.inf

That does the job perfectly.

[version]signature="$CHICAGO$"[DefaultInstall]AddReg = DosHere.Reg[DosHere.Reg]HKCR,Directory\Shell\DosHere,,,"%DosHereAccel%"HKCR,Directory\Shell\DosHere\command,,,"%11%\another.name /k cd "%1""HKCR,Drive\Shell\DosHere,,,"%DosHereAccel%"HKCR,Drive\Shell\DosHere\command,,,"%11%\another.name /k cd "%1""[Strings]DosHereAccel="DOS &Prompt Here"

P.S.: I tried to post the contents of the .inf file, both in "quote", "code" and in "codebox" tags, but the board "refuses" it in the above .inf file change "another.name" with "cmd.exe"

here's one of my favs. in script format..

RegHiveLoad,"WB-software","%TargetDir%\i386\System32\Config\software"

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x1,"WB-software\Classes\*\shell","","""notepad.exe %1"""

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x1,"WB-software\Classes\*\shell\open","","Open with Notepad"

RegWrite,"HKLM",0x1,"WB-software\Classes\*\shell\open\command","","notepad.exe %1"

RegHiveUnLoad,"WB-software"

Adds "Open with Notepad" to right click on all files.

h7se, do you mean BartPE plugins or WB scripts, when you say "there's ready to use plugin's"?

[h7se]

BartPE plugins ..

can't we adapt them to work with livexp project ?

[Brito]

It would be a bit dificult to do at this moment - our projects change very quickly so tools to convert plugins would soon become obsolete, reason why application scripts should be discussed, which would even bring support to vistape or any other compatible project..

bartpe plugins don't even need to be converted when used inside the bartPE core project by thuun: http://www.911cd.net...showtopic=20057

Of course that this mean a separated use and not integrated with liveXP since we're surely not using fixed pathnames or english language folder locations anymore..

[MedEvil]

@h7se
Just waiting for your converter to work perfectly!

@Nuno
I tend to agree with h7se. It's way easier to fix/improve a converted plugin, then to recreate it from scratch.

[Brito]

Yes, I'm also open to more options and tools!

[h7se]

@MedEvil i already fix it .. if you want to try it then i'll upload an update version today

[MedEvil]

I would like that very much. Just thought you still need some time to polish up.
