ClassicShell

New ClassicShell script with Classic Start Menu 3.5 Inside x86/x64
Works on Win7PE_SE, It should work with VistaPE, other Win7PE and also in Win8PE.

Many options available to choose your language, your Skin, your additional menu items or your recent programs.

Classic shell HomePage

ClassicShell.script

 

Works nicely 

with just a little touch to get 80 run 
If,%CheckBox_Items1%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem1,\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items2%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem2,\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items3%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem3,\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items4%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem4,\",Append
-->
If,%CheckBox_Items1%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem1#$c\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items2%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem2#$c\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items3%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem3#$c\",Append
If,%CheckBox_Items4%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem4#$c\",Append



I am mostly impressed with working "Search" 
to me it is the most valuable thingy of nt6x 

 

Works nicely 

with just a little touch to get 80 run 

Thanks
I forgot to test the compatibility with version 80

However, I do not understand why this works
TxtAddline,%w%,"ProgramsMenu.Command=programs,\",Append
and not
If,%CheckBox_Items1%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem1,\",Append  (corrected by: If,%CheckBox_Items1%,Equal,True,TxtAddline,%w%,"CustomItem1#$c\",Append)

Script on server also now ClassicShell.script

Yep, nice search function which works alone, without the explorer search script 

However, I do not understand why this works

since related reply is not about ClassicalShell, on pm   

Great program and great script, too: Thanks!

Seems the author switched in version 3 from ini to xml config handling. This complicates additional settings manipulation tolerably...
But maybe there's a way to include an exported pre-defined mysettings.xml somehow?

Any idea, ChrisR?

Thanks, I have taken  pleasure in developing it 

Such as there are many options already available, I have not look in this direction.
Do you think that it is possible to automatically load a pre-defined XML at startup, not tested, Is there a switch ?

I'll try to find out, it would be way more elegant than hacking in additional settings in a "forked" script.

I have the ClassicShell script updated and a little bit enhanced 

• most recent ClassicShell version
• fully integrated Restart and Shut Down with CD-Eject (no other scripts needed)
• more configuration options (style of the Start Button, show or don't show Computer, My Documents in the menu)
• option to copy all skins or the selected skin only

I have the ClassicShell script updated and a little bit enhanced 

Sounds great, I'll test. Thanks Fuwi 

Hi Chris,

I have a timing trouble with [SearchAutoIt],
 info not written to GetAu3.ini (I checked by commenting out) and further plugin fails....
.........
To me, adding %AutoIt_x86%=%Tools%\x86\AU33100.exe to [Variables] would be nice  .........

Adding

Contact=http://TheOven.org/index.php?topic=290.0
would ease finding current topic 



See You



Edit:
after modifying as above,
Failed to find file: [%BaseDir%\Temp\Win8.1SE\BitSet.ini]
 

In which project? Win7PE SE, Win8PE SE or Win8.1SE?

fuwi

Is this working in you build?

 SearchAutoitTest.script (7.9 kB - downloaded 144 times.)

Copy this testscript to 'Shell' and run it.
The script contains the code of the Win8.1SE Classic Shell script for searching the most recent AU33xxx.exe in WinBuilder\Projects\Tools\"project"\x86 (success or fail messagebox).
For me it works in Win7PE SE, Win8PE SE and Win8.1SE without problems, no timing troubles.



fuwi

Hi fuwi,

Thanks 

Here is result


Further:
I delete filedelete line --> inside GetAu3.ini:

Code: [Select]

[GetAu3]
LatestAU3=

ps: you can put any debug line to GetAu3.ini so I can report...

on wb80 it works ok 
edit: now on wb80 it doesn't work anymore ..... I feel it worked at first run, than after restarting builder it start to fail....


ps:
Exit
-->
Exit,""

Hi fuwi,

Also not working on wb80 anymore, see previous post edit..

Just noticed, I feel my hostos (win81x64) may not like "small autoit" .... maybe a normal compile required ?!?!?
or (better, smaller) GetAu3.au3

Code: [Select]

[SearchAutoIt]
//-- Get the path to the most recent 32-bit AU3*.exe in %Tools%\x86 (min. required for Classic Shell script: AU33100.exe)
ExtractFile,%ScriptFile%,Tools,GetAu3.au3,%ProjectTemp%
//ShellExecute,hide,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.exe,%Tools%\x86
ShellExecute,Hide,%tools%\x86\AU3381.exe,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.au3,%ProjectTemp%
IniRead,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.ini,GetAu3,LatestAU3,%AutoIt_x86%
Call,FileDelete,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.au3
Call,FileDelete,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.ini

Please try with a path without blanks. It seems that the folder 'B ase' has a blank after the 'B'.
It's not a good idea to use blanks or other non-standard characters in the WinBuilder path.

fuwi

Hi fuwi,

I know,
for SE project and for Gena,
 As developer, I intentionally always use this path, to be sure :)
  besides always advice none spaced path (like you do)

So far all went fine, if only getau3 have trouble with space, it will be nice if fixed since rest already work that way...

Further:
You gave a good idea to check non-standard characters 
 I will implement when I find time

Let's agree that spaces are evil, but using quotes they become harmless.

1. You need to run your tool with parameter quoted through builder.
Else your tool get's 2 parameters instead of 1.

2. You need again quote the path you pass to the cmd.exe's dir command.

However I don't like the solution, the project should have it's recommended AU3 interpreter.
And that one should be used by the users or they should compile their files to exe.

Yep, it works with  a space in the path with the quote added 

Code: [Select]

ShellExecute,Hide,%AutoIt_x86%,#$q%ImageConvertFolder%\ConvertUserPic.a3x#$q
ShellExecute,hide,%AutoIt_x86%,"#$q%ProjectTemp%\BitSet.au3#$q ......"
ShellExecute,hide,%ProjectTemp%\GetAu3.exe,#$q%Tools%\x86#$q

and  in GetAu3.pb

Code: [Select]

RunProgram("cmd.exe", "/c dir " + Chr(34) + FileMask$ + Chr(34) +" /b /o-s >" + Chr(34) + TempFile$ + Chr(34), "", #PB_Program_Wait|#PB_Program_Hide)
I tried also with AU3381.exe hardcoded and without searching the latest AU33* version.
ShellExecute,hide,%Tools%\x86\AU3381.exe,,"#$qPath$q"
It seems to work well here in my W7 64bit OS. AU33100.exe or later does not seem required, I have not test it with Win8.
Otherwise, for info, AU3381 is the default AU3 engine in SE projects, also I believe in Gena or others plugins and it is used in many places.

Thanks Chris for the changes, and for the new version v15 on your server.

On a short-term basis, based on v15, i made a new version v16:

Code: [Select]

History015=ChrisR - Use the default AU3381.exe engine of SE projects. Adding quotes in ShellExecute to work with spaces in path.
History016=fuwi   - Copy msinfo32, if not exists in System32 (if MMC is not enabled). Correcting 2 registry entry's, in accordance with cobraman, see http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=1187.0

Thanks fuwi 
As you saw, I did many updates on the project 
I was going to warn you after all those updates, for the change on Classic shell but you saw it first   

I put version 16 on win81se server, 
with just a small change:
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\msinfo32.exe,Require_FileQ,msinfo32.exe
it is necessary for some localization where some .mui files are in en-us fallback folder and not in %distlang% (ex: en-gb).
Thanks cobraman also for icons
