Update your Win 7 installation media

tcsenter · 3 Days Ago

OK so it is not my poor recollection. I just did another 'non-Simplix' integration of 64-bit ISO, installed and neither CMD Prompt or Take Ownership option is presenting in any context menu. But they are present after similarly integrating a 32-bit ISO.

So just delete the softx86.reg file in BIN folder prior to integration? I see there is a section in there regarding System Certificates, after all the registry entries adding the CMD Prompt and Take Ownership context menu option. Is that section related to the context menu mods or unrelated (and necessary or not)?

you can remove them with this

fixcontmen.reg

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\*\shell\TO]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\shell\TO]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Drive\shell\cmd\shell]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd\shell]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\cmd\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"Extended"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\cmd]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"Extended"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Directory\Background\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Drive\shell\cmd]
@="@shell32.dll,-8506"
"Extended"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Classes\Drive\shell\cmd\command]
@="cmd.exe /s /k pushd \"%V\""

if you dont want them in future replace softx86.reg in the BIN folder with this one

softx86.zip

Thanks! Before you posted I built another ISO with softx86 deleted and have not noticed any problems.

Hey if I might ask, what is the purpose of the System Certificates\AuthRoot entries about?

It is the cert for the biostar win7 8th gen igpu driver which many people have been using.
If that driver is not included, it doesnt do anything.

There is another win7 8th gen igpu driver which SDI can install .

The x64 also includes the cert for the samsung nvme driver, dont remove that because it might be important depending which nvme disk you want to use.

The enhanced menu is only for the bootable wim files and looks similar to this

It is not exactly the same because this example has a couple of extra programs added. I might get around to updating the enhanced menu if and when I have time.
