But still, as you say, it's much easier with a live Linux or BartPE CD than using the MS kluge. I have a second copy of XP on another drive so...
No, I don't think that particular syntax will work for the attrib command. ;) Fortunately the subfolders in the _resto~1 folder do not have the...
Yes, but you'll appreciate this, through the wonder of default 8.3 file generation by XP (assuming you haven't disabled it), you can enter that...
Yep, that'll work too. In the absence of the BartPE CD you can do that in the RC, but it's not near as easy. ;) Sure make a body appreciate...

If you just want easy Access to the Device Manager, browse to Windows\system32\DEVMGMT.MSC and right-click it > Send To > Desktop As Shortcut....
Now if you have TweakUI, check under Explorer > Colors and see what color is selected for compressed files. If it's white, smile. :) I also...
