After following steps of auto-building a mini system image as described at:

http://windrv.net/viewthread.php?tid=327&extra=page%3D1

You would perhaps like to further add other system files to make it more useful.

Initially, the automake.cfg file has just an empty automake.txt file.

To add more files to be included into the system image, you could put the filenames into automake.txt or into other .txt or .cfg files as described at #5 in the thread link above.

The automake.cfg file now contains the following entries:

automake.txt
storage.txt
usbstor.txt
vshadow.txt
ie.txt
flash.txt
msi.txt
dsound.txt
sundry.txt
cpl.cfg

The system files for each of these components are found out by following the steps below.

Take ie.txt (including filenames accessed when using Internet Explorer) as an example:

1. boot up your windows system to run on hard disk

2. wait for 2 or 3 minutes to let the system to settle down

3. run up la.exe

After double-clicking on la.exe, you are asked if you want to auto-build system image in the screen below:

Clicking on No, the following screen comes out:

Then you just click on the Make List File button and you are presented with the following dialogue box to input the name of the filelist file to be saved:

You key in:

base

as shown in the above screen.

After clicking the Save button, a file named as

base.txt

is saved in the dala program folder.

Besides saving the base.txt file, LA also does some processing on this filelist file so that you can use for analysis purpose. This will be described later in this thread.

After the Analysis processing is done, you can see the following screen:

The base.txt now contains all the files so far accessed by the system up to the point you click the Make List File button.

If you want to know what files are accessed when you use Internet Explorer to browse the Internet, you can then fire up IE to browse a website such as:

www.disklessangel.com

and download our demo as follows:

Then you run up or go to LA again:

Perhaps you may have to wait for 1 minute or 2 for LA monitor to capture the files accessed by IE.

Then you press Make List File button again:

In the above screen, you input another filename:

base_ie

and press Save button.

A new filelist file:

base_ie.txt

is saved for you.

And you are informed that Analysis is also done for you again for this base_ie.txt:
