I was using UBUSB yesterday and it was SO slick..

Then today I started seeing "Failed to start service" popup dialogs. I looked in event viewer and found that IMDisk service was not able to find a file.

Then I started retracing my steps, and realized I had cleaned up my desktop....

The thing is, I downloaded UBUSB to my desktop and ran it, and it threw a bunch of files on the desktop. Last thing last night I moved all the files into a USUSB folder on the desktop.

So I looked in regedit and sure enough, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ ControlSet001\Services\ ImDisk\ImagePath was the path to my desktop...

So for now, I just moved everything back (sigh). I'll figure out how to start over later..

Here is a plugin for SuperAntispyware Portable. It is designed to go in with the Cleanup Tools, which only run when the UBCD is NOT booted.

Since SAS portable is downloaded as a random .com file, I start it with this cmd file (named RunSASPort.cmd):

ECHO OFF
for %%f in (..\SASPort\*.COM) do set RNDNAME=%%f
START /WAIT %RNDNAME%

Here is the code for SASPort.inf:

setupldr.bin),'1')"
 FUNC="@GetProgramDrive()\
Programs\SASPort\
RunSASPort.cmd">SuperAntiSpyware Portable</MITEM>
  </MENU>
</NU2MENU>

I am using this with a UBUSB4WIN build, so I can just replace the SAS_XXXX.com file on the flash drive to update it..

So I didn't build an update tool for the builder (don't know how, anyway )
Also, I changed the ComboFix plugin so that it would copy a random named .exe to the user desktop instead of trying to run Combofix from the flash drive..

Here's "RunRandom.cmd" for combofix:

ECHO OFF
for %%f in (..\Combofix\cOMBOFIX.
EXE) do set OLDNAME=%%f
for %%f in (%RANDOM%) do set FILENAME=CF%%f.EXE
SET NEWNAME=%USERPROFILE%\
DESKTOP\%FILENAME%
:start
cls
ECHO Copy %OLDNAME% to %NEWNAME%?
set /p userinp=Y(es)/C(ancel):
if "%userinp%"=="
Y" goto 1
if "%userinp%"=="
y" goto 1
if "%userinp%"=="
C" goto 3
if "%userinp%"=="
c" goto 3
echo Invalid Choice - 'Y' or 'C' Only!
goto start
:1
COPY %OLDNAME% "%NEWNAME%"
ECHO PLEASE RUN 
ECHO %FILENAME%
ECHO FROM YOUR DESKTOP
PAUSE
GOTO END
:3
REM stuff
echo.
echo "Cancelled...."
pause
goto end
REM etc.
:end

Also - the UBUSB build (which is AWESOME) creates a boot volume that won't allow the "Autorun.inf" file to execute as it does on a CD. Is this because it is seen by your OS as a HDD?

Does anyone know of a workaround so that the nu2menu Start button gets created when you plug in the flash drive (right-click>Autoplay doesn't work either).

For now I guess I will Manually add a cmd file to run the menu at the root of the flash drive, and double click it.

If you make 2 copies of your USUSB flash drive, you can then boot one, and clone from the other to a 3rd to make copies - very cool, indeed..
