Hi darkphoenix

Basically it should be okay to use 98 cd wizard (CD:\tools\reskit\batch).

Or maybe this: < http://ftp.mdgx.com/4 > [2.5 MB]
(Note: can only be run on win98/Me systems).
Some nice advices on this link: < http://www.mdgx.com/ >
Take a look on this. < http://www.mdgx.com/98-5.htm#KRM9S >

However there is some extra stuff to insert in the end of msbatch.inf (if you are interesested)

Here is some of this “extra”:

[Install]
AddReg=AddRegistry,RunOnce.BatchDelay
UpdateInis=Update.WinIni

[AddRegistry]
; Closes login when Windows starts first time
; Need to be removed after installation if peer to peer network should be set up.
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\Real Mode Net","autologon",1,00000000

[Update.WinIni]
; Uppdating WIN.INI. Only show TrueType fonts.
%10%\win.ini,TrueType,,"TTOnly=1"

[RunOnce.BatchDelay]
; Don’t show Windows ME welcome movie
HKLM,%KEY_RUNONCE%,BatchRun1,,"%25%\rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection Delete.Welcome 4 %10%\msbatch.inf"

[Delete.Welcome]
; Don’t show Windows ME welcome movie
DelReg=Registry.Welcome

[Registry.Welcome]
; Don’t show Windows ME welcome movie HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","Windows Millennium Edition Intro Video",,

[Strings]
KEY_RUNONCE="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce"


Please don’t ask me why there are 3 entries of “Don’t show Windows ME welcome movie” - but it works!

If running Winme, start msconfig and uncheck system restore service. Then WinMe is just as stable as Win98SE (that means; not 100 % stable).

Hope it was to any help.
