CaptureDate.exe has been updated: it still displays an image file's capture date and time, but besides that, with the new optional
/S switch it will also
set the file's
timestamp to the capture date and time.

Hardware.hta has been updated: it can now run in WinPE and safe mode too (though it won't be able to get all the hardware details available in a "full" Windows environment).

• For a project I needed to have my script check if Windows was booted normally or from a Windows PE DVD-ROM.
To detect Windows PE, just check if the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MiniNT exists: if it does, you are running in WinPE (
tip by Mitch Tulloch).
My new
BootState.exe goes one step further: it not just checks for WinPE, it also checks for Safe Mode!
Thanks Mitch
