RE: BATCH FILES UPDATE...

Jolida,

I want to join the chorus of 'THANK YOU's for doing this.

I'd started down the road of making batch files for the Steppe Mods starting at Steppe 5, but have not had the time to make much progress on them yet. So I'm very happy to hear of yours (and sent a request for them via Asylum email).

Without seeing yours, here are some thoughts on what I was working towards with mine:

1. Knowing that a particular file might show up in multiple places inside of the Windows directory structure, I was planning to put in multiple 'removes' for each file, one for each of the directories where I'd found these DLL's & other files.

2. I had scoped out in my head a process that MIGHT work to make creating the batch files easier using MS Word and Excel, but hadn't worked out the details. If you are taking a break before finishing the rest, let me know. If so, I'll go play with that and see if I can make the process of creating them fairly easy.

3. I had thought about doing batch files for registry entries too, but decided that it might not be as good as going in and searching/exporting/deleting. This is because I suspect that the registry entries will vary a bit computer-to-computer depending on the initial Windows install disk (SP1 vs SP2 vs SP3 at least), how the person installed the op system & did the standard optimizations, what other components they use (Juli@ vs other sound cards, PCI sound card vs USB vs firewire, etc.).

I SUSPECT that a set of registry deletes for one person's computer at best might not get everything on the next person's and at worse might brick it. Does anyone have experience with this?

I've got a bunch more thoughts on the Steppe Mods and hopefully I can get to a post that's been rolling around in my head for a couple of weeks. But in short, these mods have been a revelation in my system's performance (and I'm only up through #4 so far!) AND I think there are some implications for those who want the ultimate best sound out of their systems that were not clear before or even were not possible before.

Later!
