I have minimum components in my xpe image and I just need to know how to launch my application. Do I have to create a key "Run" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION
and then create a string pointing to the exe I want launched

Also how do I shutdown...or is there no shutdown with as little amount of components I have. My image is about 60 megs. I searched and couldn't find any info. Thanks in advance

Saaby,

Yes the run key is the way to auto launch your app unitl your ready to make
it the shell (if that's your intention). As far as power look into the
"power management application" component which adds xpepm.dll and xpepm.exe.
You can then call it from a cmd line like xpepm -restart, or
xpepm -shutdown. Read the docs in the ValueAdd>MSFT folder for more
information. There is also an API you can use.

I hope this doesn't get posted twice...I have already tried to post this once over 2 hours ago and I still don't see my post so I will try once more. My next question is, what exactly do you mean by ValueAdd>MSFT is that a folder, a link...? I looked in my hard drive and could not seem to find such a path. Thanks in advance

Saaby,

Sorry, look in the ValueAdd folder of the XPe SP1 CD. You'll find more infor
on XPePM. I don't have the CD handy, but I'm pretty sure it's in there.
