Replacing Windows XP Files with the EXPAND Command

這篇文章介紹了一種方式, 讓EU在使用XP時如果發現某個native系統檔案損毀, 或是什麼自行少掛時, 不必使用重安裝或修復安裝這種危險的方式。

例如: 發現系統中沒有應有的MS Sans Serif字型時. 先打開安裝光碟看看 \i386 目錄裡是否有

Sserife.fo_ 這個壓縮檔. 如果有, 執行以下指令:

expand E:\i386\Sserife.fo_ C:\Windows\Fonts\Sserife.fon

OK, MS Sans Serif 字型就安裝進去了。

ps. 小小抱怨一下; 明明MS San Serif是製作多國語系AP UI最不可或缺的字型, 偏偏在安裝英文XP時往往預設就沒裝進去. 這不是在整人嘛~~

Replacing Windows XP Files with the EXPAND Command

Given the explosive growth or viruses and other malicious email attachments, it’s no surprise that critical XP system files will occasionally become damaged corrupted. Certainly these issues aren’t the only cause of file issues, but if your system fails to boot or is displaying error messages relating to a certain file, it may be time to replace it with the original version from your [1] Windows XP CD. When stored on the CD, these files are compressed, with a filename ending in an underscore “_” character. To replace an installed version of the file with one from CD, use the EXPAND utility. For example, to replace a file from CD such as the Windows Task Manager utility, the command would be EXPAND d:\i386\taskmgr.ex_ c:\Windows\system32

Note: When using the EXPAND command to replace files, be sure that the source files on the CD are of the same version as those currently installed. In other words, to replace a file on a Windows XP system with SP2 installed, be sure to use a Windows XP with SP2 source CD.

兩個小技巧

第一個技巧: 在登入畫面上隱藏新建的XP用戶

使用regedit打開登錄資料庫，到 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList 機碼目錄下，添加名為 <%username> 的DWORD值，預設為0 -->代表隱藏；設為1或刪除則代表顯示。

該目錄下放著的DWORD值都是各個用戶名稱。使用本技巧時要小心一點。


第二個技巧: 使用Green Skype

1. 選定一個目錄來啟用Skype，e.g. D:\Mydoc\Skype
2. 從已經安裝好Skype的PC上，把\Skype\phone\skype.exe 檔複製出來，放到前面這個目錄裏去
3. 在這個目錄裡新建一個子目錄"Data"
4. 在這個目錄建一個啟動Skype的Script (可以先用.bat來試試), 裡面加一行: skype.exe /nosplash /datapath:"Data" /removable

其中:
/nosplash:Don't display the start-up screen
/datapath: : specify where Skype keeps its data and temporary files.
/removable: 表示要求Skype 以可攜模式執行
