PimpMyDrive

The Windows command shell script located at \_ISO\PimpMyDrive.cmd can be executed to add extra menu items to the Main Menu of E2B.
 
These extra menu entries are mainly for demonstration purposes. You can easily undo the changes by deleting the \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP folder at any time.
 
 

Installation

1. Double-click on \_ISO\PimpMyDrive.cmd from Windows Explorer
2. Answer Y to copy some of the E2B sample menu files to a new \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP folder
3. Some of the menu entries (e.g. Change Themes) require a 'blank' MyE2B.cfg configuration file. Answer Y to the next question to make a backup of your current MyE2B.cfg file and replace it...
 
Tip: If you want the PimpMyDrive menu entries to be listed below all other menu entries, rename the \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP folder to \_ISO\MAINMENU\ZZZPIMP.
 

Details

All .mnu files are in English.
 
The .mnu files are copied over in the two stages to \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP.
 
Menu text is shown in bold type below...

True_Hide_Unhide.mnu - TRUE HIDE/UNHIDE HD0,0/HD0,1 - Hides/unhides E2B partition from Windows and makes it non-accessible but still bootable by E2B
 
 

Second question (Y)

Change_Theme.mnu - Change Theme - the \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file is overwritten by one of the E2B Theme configuration files
Note: This menu item is for demonstration purposes. It overwrites the current MyE2B.cfg file and so the same theme will appear if you reboot. It allows you to see 1024x768 themes as well as themes containing larger fonts and a Jolene GFX Boot menu. 
 

Configuration Tips

  • If you want to delete any of the menu entries, simply delete the corresponding .mnu file in the \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP folder (or the whole folder).
  • If you want to keep any of the menu entries, rename the \_ISO\MAINMENU\PIMP folder to another name (e.g. \_ISO\MAINMENU\MYPIMP) so that they will not be overwritten if you run PimpMyDrive.cmd again.
  • The Help text below the menu is determined by the text after \n in each .mnu file.
  • If you want to move the menu entries to a different menu (e.g. UTILITIES MENU), simply move the appropriate .mnu file to the correct menu folder (e.g. move grub4dos shell.mnu to the \_ISO\UTILITIES folder).
  • If you want the menu entries in your own language, edit them yourself (use NotePad and UTF-8 format).
  • The \_ISO\Sample_MyE2B.cfg file contains many examples of how to specify wallpaper, fonts, resolution and other options
  • Changing fonts, wallpaper, etc. is not permanent. Modify the \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file to make them permanent.
  • To restore your original MyE2B.cfg, use MyE2B.cfg.bak.
  • If you change the system's RTC date, it will update the chip registers, but if you later boot to Windows or linux, the RTC date registers will usually be updated to the current date again.
  • To permanently change the wallpaper or language, use the \_ISO\E2B_Editor.exe utility
  • To permanently change the font or pwd password value, edit the \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file (see here)
  • To permanently reduce E2B messages, see here.
  • To show file names with file extensions in the menus, use 'set EXTOFF=' in your \_ISO\MyE2B.cfg file (see here).
