    You have an awesome idea here. While I am trying to retain my composure so we do not make fun of the dead, or yet to be resurrected again... or go to left of topic...I put it in my signature to TRY (operative word) to remind myself not to reply when he resurrects :rofl::facepalm:
    Anyway - If you manage to find out exactly where the sorting is done (hive location or XML) please kindly let me know :)

    Sure. The order is here:
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments

    For instance, this is (in my PC) the content of
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments\The Orchestra
    Is this:
    Code:
    "K5DbCacheImportSize"=dword:0000001b
    "K5DbCacheImportData"="AQAAAAEAAADkBwcDAQAAABESK0BCDwCFNAYA"
    "UserRemoved"=dword:00000000
    "UserListIndex"=dword:00000002
    "CurInstrDir"="F:\\[VST]\\[KTT]\\Sonuscore.TheOrchestra.[KTT]\\Instruments\\01 Strings\\01 Violins 1\\"
    
    Begins with zero, so UserListIndex in this case means that library is the third

    More data related to IDs, authentication is on this one:
    Several data is here:
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Native Instruments

    PS. ""I am starting to think that no matter how sensible I attempt to be answering Foster's questions after getting sucked in, I come out just a little bit more stupid than when I entered.""

    OK this is great. Let me look at it for a little while and see if I can work out a smarter not harder way to do the sorting. This is the sorting key in a dword, this narrows it down immensely. Thank you!

    I noticed from this old wiki page:
    https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Command_line_parameters

    It seems totalCommander has some command line capabilities which would allow you to call it and use it with some scripting. However I'm not quite sure how you would run tasks on it. The examples seem to only show how you can load a directory on each side.

    Anyone ever try figuring this out to see if you can unpack files with totalcommander from the CLI?

    Yes I meant to get back to you earlier, apologies...
    I worked out that you have to do three things in a script to avoid messing up Kontakt and the registry:
    The container name file first then the UserListIndex then specify the CurInstrDir - each so overwriting the wrong thing does not happen.

    A popup first saying how many libraries, then which is what would work well - generated by name from the container asking where the person wants it to appear in display translated in to simple numbers not as displayed in UserListIndex - so dword:00000002 would be seen by the user as simply '3' needs to also happen or you'll get a WTF from anyone using it.

    Man whoever created KontaktLibOrganizer deserves huge kudos. It's messy to put all of this into a single easy to use executable.

    maybe just create an electron app, that makes things a lot easier , especially if you know JavaScript, HTML, CSS :)

    Yep, the problem still would be how to create a GUI for a person with many libs

    Thought crossed my mind cause I'm a web developer, but a backend one. So I know my way around HTML/CSS/Javascript but not enough to make GUI-rich electron app. Especially Javascript, node in this case.
