I installed the server resource kit but the command line here functionality is still missing. Do I have to manually install the .inf file? If so, where is it stored?

I tried this, appeared to work just fine, no errors or anything (extracting the system 32 file etc). The resize option appears when I right click, but nothing happens, no error or anything... I am going to try rebooting...

Thanks, the powertoy I missed the most was the Alt-Tab replacement. Using the /V /a it unpacks in the same way but leaves you with a .exe, which you just run. Brilliant!! Thanks again.

I tried all the above methods on the Virtual Desktop Manager Powertoy as well to no avail. It extracts to an MSI, which I then called from a bat file which had the compatability mode changed to Windows XP. I still got the error message. There is some similar freeware out there but I would rather it be the same across machines if possible as I usually dual-quad boot everything depending on the purpose of the environment I setup. Any other ideas?
