Easier installations
Easier installations
Copying all the CAB (Windows 95 installation files) from the
Win95 CD to your hard disk is a great way to save time
when re-installing components or the whole OS, if you
have the disk space available. You can make this even
quicker by modifying the Registry to point to the CAB files
during installation. Open the Registry Editor, drill down to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Setup
and single-click on the SETUP folder. Right-click on the
SourcePath item and select Modify from the context menu.
Enter the path of the folder that contains your CAB files. This
also makes adding and removing programs, changing network
settings, etc. much easier, because you won't have to insert
the Windows CD every time. (My 133's slow down if I leave
the CD in all the time.)
This is an especially handy tip if you add or remove a
drive to your computer, or if you copy the contents
of the CD to your hard drive.
