Default windows ask for the cd when adding components

Windows ask for the cd when adding components. How do I make it look in
C:\Windows\Options. I know it is a Register setting. How do I change the
value to show Window the Cabs are on the hardrive?

There are two ways of doing what you want, either by editing the registry
by hand or by using TweakUI.

Registry edit:
Open Regedit and in the left hand pane browse to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup
Then move to the right hand pane and select and double click the string
value SourcePath and enter into the Data box the full path to the folder
on your hard disk that contains the Win Me cab files.

TweakUI
If you have TweakUI installed, open the MyComputer tab and in the "Special
Folders" section select "Installation Path" from the drop down menu, then
click "Change" and again enter the full path to the folder on your hard
disk that contains the Win Me cab files.

Darrell,

Glad to have been able to help. Yes, TweakUI is a very useful little tool
and makes some tasks so very much easier.
