Hi NG

I finally got an image up running, relative short boot time, protected
with EWF filter, botting with custom application, custom splash screen
ect.

but.(always thise but's)

Our application consist of two programs a small boot program (witch is
the shell) located on protected C drive, . This program looks for a
software update on a USB stick (E drive)if a update is there the
actual application (located on D drive )is updated, if not pressend
application on D drive is started.

When the Boot program starts running the USB stick is not ready for
read and therefor the application on the D drive is always started. I
tryed adding som delay 20 sec and the is simes to work, but now we
have been stroggeling to get a short boot time, there must be a better
way.

It seems that this is the same problem with our settings files for the
actual application

Has anyone in the NG tryed something similar

Hi All

Thanks for your sugestion. but i solved the problem in a nother way.

I Made a Transparent dummy Shell.
With Minlogon there is no Runkey therefor I made a componets that
entered a run key in the regestry
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

in TD I entered the value = c:\\Windows\\System32\\MyApplication.exe

This gave the result that the application i run when USB ect are ready
and the only thing that the user ses is the application.
