Please Help. Can't find answer 4 simple question

[Guest sdvick]

Hello everyone,

I've searched all over (Modaco and the web at large) and cannot find an answer to what I thought was a simple question.

Because I've always had good luck getting help from the fine folks in the forums, I thought I would check w/ the community.

I've built a custom cab file for my SMT5600 but, as part of the instillation, I want to turn off ClearType and I was wondering...

What is the syntax for the .inf file that will remove or rename a registry key?

Thanx.

Hi. My suggestion would be to have a separate CAB for the ClearType in the form of a cab provisioning format file (cpf cab archive) then the other would be your main CAB file (installation file).

ClearType on the Typhoon is at HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType ; a protected part of the registry (HKLM\System).

I'm a complete nub so, please forgive me but, how do I set up a cpf?

Also, if I want to edit a registry key w/ spaces, what do I need to do (i.e. enclose in quotes, etc.) to use it in the cab file?

Example: HKCU\Software\Oxios Plugins\Tasks\Restrict\
