  1. It would be very interesting to know what program you used to do it, & how you did it for sure. There are different ways, so, yes, that would be really interesting to know!

    I found the ISO in my archives. I collected his work when he was doing it and saved me lots of time on builds in my lab.

     

    Here's the README....I'm sure you would recognize the name:

    About this SuperWOS CD:
    This is the Super-Windows-OS CD which put Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 95
    OSR2, MS-DOS 6.22, IBM PC-DOS 7.0 and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation into
    one single CD.  With all these Windows and OS's coexist, the Windows 98 SE is to
    be used as the main skeleton which includes its Drivers, Resource Kit, MTSUTIL,
    ADMIN ,NETTOOLS and the Discover Tour.
    Other useful applications on this CD are Acrobat Reader 5.00, Internet Explorer 6
    (Build 2600), TweakUI 1.33, SP6 and FAT32 for Windows NT 4.0, NTFSDOS Professional,
    UnixDos 16/32Bit Versions, ZipSlack, Winimage, 4DOS and the old Windows for
    Workgroup (Version 3.11).
    The CD is bootable directly into a main menu from which you can choose to:
    1)   Start Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Setup from CD-ROM
    2)   Start Windows 98/95 Setup or boot it from CD-ROM 
    3)   Boot Microsoft DOS 6.22 from CD-ROM			  
    4)   Boot IBM PC-DOS 7.0 from CD-ROM				  
    An Autorun CD-Menu is added to this version to make the CD more user friendly.

  2. I tend to agree with you on both. It's just that the All-in-One is a nice tool to have on your desktop. To be honest, there were drives I could not access with the USB cable setup and I took out a similar device to this All-in-One but just SATA and I was able to read the drive. Don't get me wrong, I am not forcing this down anyone's throat, but if you have multiple drives in multiple flavors, this is the way to go.

  3. Tr3bg0D, I've changed my plans and scotched the idea of a caddy.

     

    The best solution (for me) is the simple USB to IDE cable.

     

    So thanks to you and Mike for your input.

    The only problem with the USB to IDE cable is that it still needs a power supply and it is just as big as the one in the All-in-One-HDD_Docking and is only a few dollars cheaper. Personally the All-In-One is the best solution I have seen. I sent that info to a couple of friends since I posted the info here and they have already ordered theirs.

  4. Your link shows 3.5" and 2.5" in both SATA and IDE.

     

    If you are looking to use laptop IDE and you want a case around the drive, the small enclosures do the job just fine

    But for 3.5" IDE, that is a different story. I have many 3.5" IDE and am sure not going to waste money putting them in their own enclosure as some enclosure do not coma apart that easily. for 3.5", I use a swappable HD tray or a USB Adapter cable...depending on what I want to do.

    I just happened to go on e-bay and I wet my pants. I found the cat's meow and think I will order this. It is a SATA & IDE enclosure which accepts both 2.5" and 3.5". Talk about universal.

    The only drawback to this unit is the "Wart on the Cord" Power supply. I just hate that. Why can't they just put it on the outlet end?

  5. Looks good. Will test on more systems later. I will also send you the EXE in a few minutes

  6. Just to be clear, is this what you want me to do:

    CALL :T_N_S Test 1 . , = % ! # X

    CD /D %~dp0 & REM All files are here, not at stupid "Run As Administrator" default %windir%\
    ECHO FILE CREATION 18:42 03/03/2012   Execution %TIME%
    

  7. I changed the code to this:

    REM SET /A PREFIX=%DispSrt%*2
    REM SET /A PREFIX=(%DispSrt%) * 2
    SET /A PREFIX=%DispSrt%*2
    SET /A PREFIx1=(%DispSrt%) * 2
    SET /A PREFIx2=2*%DispSrt%
    SET /A PREFIx3=!DispSrt!*2
    SET /A PREFIx4=2*!DispSrt!
    ECHO _%PREFIX%_%PREFIx1%_%PREFIx2%_%PREFIx3%_%PREFIx4%_
    CALL :SET_HI #_FIX.INI %LO% to %HI%
    

    :T_N_S
    %TOCK%   = _%*
    CALL :T_N

    This is the output

    SET /A PREFIX=(%DispSrt%) * 2		  <<<<<=========

  9. NEW INSTRUCTIONS :-

    Forget my initial advice when I launched the first script :rolleyes:

     

    There are now almost no requirements other than to :-

    download the script and change the extension from TXT to BAT and place in the same folder as Winapp2.ini plus CCleaner.exe (or CCleaner64.exe).

    You can use an existing CCleaner folder - even one that has been installed and uses the registry.

     

    This improvement is a result of feedback from yourself and others :)

     

    The script will create the sub-folder #TRIMMER and do all its work in that folder,

    and have no effect upon the parent CCleaner folder or its registry/configuration,

    other than to update WinApp2.ini and/or add @_#_7_BAD_FULL.LST if the relevant options are chosen.

     

    HINT

    I find it useful to have my left finger hover over the letter 'A' ready for the message

     

    Then I am ready to hit 'A' as my choice of "any key to continue" and my left finger continues to hover,

    and when CCleaner has launched and the "Analyze" button is active I can hit 'A' again,

    then I have to shuffle the mouse to the top right corner to close CCleaner - if only there was a keyboard short cut to close it.

     

    Regards

    Alan

     

    In one of the scripts...forgot which one, there was an option for EXCLUDE.TXT??? (not clear anymore).......Is that still an option to use?

    How about (though may seem redundant), an brief explaination of what you are doing at each prompt. For instance, what are you Organizing/Sorting? What happens at that stage. Which INI file are you overwriting? I know some may be obvious, but if anyone has not used this before, they may have questions.

     

    Suggestion for down the road....How about an online HELP where it does have an FAQ. This way as you do updates or changes, you can change the FAQ within the program. If a user presses (H), it goes into the FAQ section and once finished, you can exit or take him/her to the start.
