I just found all the options in script window for Explorer shell Ultimate v2
Customizes your Winbuilder's explorer shell

This will take me awhile

in Peloader explorer is listed 4 times,, but if you switch to BSexplorer any ONE will get you back to Explorer shell

Hi ludovici

I like this script, a few clicks in options and I now have my desktop back

My clock is now in English

Control Panel start menu is the same –folder options reset just like before

Add Printer says spooler service is not started

Networking icon and Speaker icon are no longer on taskbar

Recycle bin disappeared when I got desktop back

lots of options to try yet

This line fix one font issue
FileCopy,"%InstallSRC%\windows\Fonts\*.*","%TargetDir%\windows\Fonts"


file pnpibs.dll not copied over for section PNP

Over all I like it Thanks

Well after many tests with this last script and updating Winbuilder to 76

I can now unplug and plug my USB (wired) Silitek keyboard as well as my USB wired mouse
Click refresh in Device Manager and they both work.

Both are detected and installed as Human Interface Devices

My Wireless USB mouse gets detected as a USB Receiver but not correctly
It works when installed before boot

Its not perfect.

And Winbuilder 76 built my first error free build,

From post #44 download Shell v.20 (Explorer shell Ultimate V2)

Copy it to Base

In Base files don’t uncheck anything

All Addons may be unchecked except
Internet Explorer 7
PENetCfg
TotalCommander

Drivers uncheck
Tweaks uncheck

App- System folder
You can uncheck everything

In Explorer shell Ultimate V2
I chose to uncheck webview and check ClassicShell
Uncheck add fonts

This is what worked for me. (I think) I hope I didn’t forget anything
I have not gone back and checked or unchecked and tested all other options

boot and please check out explorer shell

Build should work with these settings

Hello

Well I got this far I figured I would try this xVPE feature script from post #53
Added Max XPE patch
Added xVPE feature script
Unchecked Addons - Internet Explorer 7

I never had much luck with the Max patch after Vista 11

What is needed from this patch?

I had a few things working. But lost interest and went back to looking at all the options with the Explorer shell Ultimate V2 script.

With Shell v2 script
When I logoff explorer shell could it open Peloader? Other wise logoff is not needed or has no function

Some options do not work
Show My Documents on desktop
Show My Network places on Desktop
Trash bin does not show
Most of these I do not use anyway

I think I would remove Wlan and use a separate script?
Desktop is a gray and when i enable BGInfo desktop returns to standard vistaPE backround

I Need more time to play


Over all I found this a very solid script and I will keep it..
all my App's and plugins work!!

Thanks again

Hello again

With PNP usb keyboard and mouse work ALLOT better

When plugging in an USB keyboard or mouse after boot you must refresh device manager.
USB mouse and Keyboard are detected correctly and installed
Meaning you still need a PS2 mouse.

USB mouse and Keyboard installed at boot worked in all my tests.

BUT
If this auto refreshed right at detection or when a USB device was plugged in it would be more PNP or hot swappable.
with out refreshing Device Manager

In Explorer Shell Ulit script I could only find this for PNP

You can't seem to download the beta project using Winbuilder. It appears to lock the Winbuilders ability to add a new address or delete youre added address.

Hello

I think you misunderstood
MY VISTAPE CORE is only a link to his directory of Beta scripts
In his directory look for scripts we talked about here.

This is not one beta Vistape core file
Is a bunch of scripts he has posted of his personal beta core

I hope i understood your post?

The Control Panel link does not download the script on the first post.

Tryed this script. When compiling it give 11 errors all related with directory copy in winsxs folder. Build seems fine then when I boot the system, every system I do try, I have black screen after loading file with error 0xc0000017.

Build made with XP sp3, WAIK 1.1 installed, DVD Vista SP1. I disabled all the drivers and all the stuff said in the post I do quote above.

I will go back and check settings again,

i get 17 warnings most are files that are not copied

Thanks for letting me know

Hello and thankx for your reply too. I downloaded and tryed this:

BETA/APP/ShellV2.script

[PaPeuser]

Hello

BETA/APP/ShellV2.script
when added to your base file should show in Winbuilder slection window as

base - Explore shell Ultimate V2-test [shell_V2.script]
I just unchecked fonts and left all the rest (default settings) in script

I just went over my uncheck list all looked ok,

This was tested again and again last night with a new builds from Winbuilder 76 and complete Vistape v12 download.
I followed my directions and it boot first time,,

Have a nice day

[thelegendarypig666]

Mmmmm...

Do u disable the Explorer standard shell in VistaPe base dir?

More: after adding your shell, I do have TWO Base on the VistaPE Winbuilder tree: one is with all the VistaPE 12 default scripts and the other is just for your script...

Is this correct?


Thankx

[PaPeuser]

Hello

No do not disable anything in first or original base

Yes correct you will have 2 base folders one with just this script

Seond base file will only contain this - Explore shell Ultimate V2-test

When in tree view select Explorer shell Ulitmate V2-test and uncheck
"add fonts" in options

Add font wills error and stop load

Ludovici has a fix ,This line in font section need changed
line 3038
FileCopy,"%InstallSRC%\windows\fonts\*","%TargetDir\windows\Fonts
to this
FileCopy,"%InstallSRC%\windows\fonts\*.*","%TargetDir\windows\Fonts

[thelegendarypig666]

The problem was Winbuilder. I've been using 75 and something, and I had to upgrade to 76 to compile.

Then, I can't say it work as expected: I do have pretty much the same default explorer shell desktop, control panel is empty and I can see an audio icon on the traybar.

I just had 10 copy errors in the build, the iso is over 600 MB, so I don't know how to look to launch the new shell.

BTW, I also made a build disabling default Explorer, it compile, the default menu is the v2 explorer shell, then it can't load administrative tools and a lot of others tools becouse it say it need a Internet Explorer > 5.5 version for MCC to work. Obviously disabling original explorer. IE 7 wont compile :-(((

I do use original VPEloader. Where is the problem?

Thankx again!

[PaPeuser]

Hello

I used 75 K to build before upgrading to WB 76 builds – (ok make note)

In Control Panel -Tools - folder options - view - reset folders
I have been trying to get control panel working better, I have had some luck

Explorer problem - you have Internet Explorer 7 enabled in Addons?
And you left explorer shell checked in base files?
I have seen that error before and I thought it had to do with not having
Internet Explorer 7 enabled.

Original or default PEloader is what I use, the one the came with download

This shell update works with your existing Explorer shell and Internet Explorer just adds new options

Thanks

[PaPeuser]

Hello
EDITED-Updated

This shellv2.script is not a stand alone shell it works with existing Explorer shell and Internet explorer 7

Most of add-ons that you unchecked are already included in this script.
Check scripts options.

Drivers is something that needs tested, because I do not check driver folder or load anything extra for drivers and I have had better luck with driver detection.

Yes all my USB mice and keyboards are detected as human interface devices and installed correctly.

Personally I would rip out Wlan, Audio, Printer services and do separate scripts.
Uncheck Wlan, Audio, and Printer services in script and check size
Size could be cut in half almost

Right click on everything, Computer icon on desktop, look at added options


I would really like it if you get this to work and report what you find!

[ludovici]

Thanks for all your work PaPeuser,
It's good to had help

HI ludovici

For me i would like to get the Basic part of this script right

Hello All

Then add Audio, Wlan and Printer Service

I have been looking and working on the Control Panel part of script,,,

BUT do you know how hard it is to go thro all of script looking for problems for just Control Panel?

Lets take just the basic part of script and make it work, then adding options to add the rest, maybe nice,

Do you know that with your other service script some of Control Panel worked better?

I like this script right click my computer options, right click take ownership
Device manager works better,, and I think devices are detected and installed better


There is allot of good stuff included in this script, BUT

Lets take one thing at a time and fix it ,,
