Use waik from microsoft.com and install it, you can create the unattended.xml file with it without any problem. Syntax of unattended.xml is more complicated than winnt.sif so prefer use waik. There are some generic unattended.xml on the forum too ... use Search function.

Just to confirm OpenWrt rocks ^^ (I use at home : ssh, pptp server, wake on lan, scripting and more ...)

No problem for single cpu system ...

Media Player Classic (I have tested decoding subtitles with DirectVobSub but same effect, I use embedded subtitles feature of ffdshow) btw, same effect with VLC 0.8.6a ( and WMP11 I think, but I will test to confirm ...)

btw, on Windows XP, the quality is same at Aero enabled

I'm using Vista since last week, nothing really annoying but today I have installed ffdshow and see somes videos ... I switch to fullscreen and .. omg .. subtitles are too bad ... I have re-activated Desktop Engine Composition and it's okay. But I don't want to use Aero effect ... Anyone has found the problem too ? Desktop Engine Off (Aero off, no Win+tab) Desktop Engine On (Aero on, Win+tab OK)

You can use OEMbios files activation, Read at http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=63258 & http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=71016 You will need the original manufacturer media or the system which is on the restore partition to get the oembios files. If you havn't these you can get a copy from http://www.oembios.net/

In Display Properties » Desktop » Customize Desktop » Web , check if html pages are not present too ...

LgDFx: Do you use vanilla XP source ? or winnt.sif ? Are you using PATA or SATA drive ?

That's true. Microsoft SP2 discs (MCE 2k5, Home, Pro, Retail or MSDN or OEM) is "more" optimized/cleaned than a manual split-stream (no reference to sp1 and .cab are updated ...) btw, I have always use the ms sp2 disc and no problem.

Set timeout to 0 The menu will doesn't show and load the default system ....

Each .inf are re-copy to c:\windows\inf\ as oemXX.inf an .pnf so the name isn't a problem. The .pnf file contain the original drivers locations (x:\folder1\subfolder2\)

You can make a all-in-one package with that http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=90779 ++

[Thanks]Great work ! I really like your soft nitro322[/Thanks]

I havn't that symptom but SearchIndexer can be disable by services.msc, I'm testing while it's disabled atm ....

I have a .reg file to set certain filetype with pspad and forr aother applications (foobar2k, mplayerClassic). This doesn't work because Windows read HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xxx , so I have deleted the key "UserChoice" of each customized filetypes. Sure now I must adapt my regfiles to UseChoice, but that works for the moment ...

Delete the RECYCLER folder directly from a command prompt rd /q /s x:\RECYCLER

irritated post ^^ @yezeiyashein: Excuse-me but I MUST say, are you n00b ? Have you read a bit what is "optimization" of an ISO file ? This "optimization" present in many programs (like UltraISO, CDIMAGE ..) doesn't compress anything, it will put once a file which is present many times, so these programs can put 4800Mb on 480Mb if the 4800Mb contains 10 times the same 480mb data. (btw, sorry for my language ...)

Remove DefaultUsername / DefaultPassword / AutoAdminLogon from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Winlogon.

Why not install Dx9 in runonceex ?

imho, your solution will not work ... If your PC is unstable, try to find the "real" problem, perhaps it's just your operating system, format & reinstall a fresh windows copy. Maybe it's a driver fault ...

Use UltraISO with optimize function. CDIMAGE GUI has the option too if I remember http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/15/ The ISO contain one file but has several reference on the cd, this is why you can put many version of Windows. Mine has 3 versions ua + 3 version regular ... more than 2Gb fit on 600mb ISO "optimized"

I havn't the solution, but I'm curious ... Why create MS VPN over Hamachi/OpenVPN ?!

What is a "specific virtual network adapter" ? You mean another network interface ?

I don't think vista home can't browse network ressource. Check a second time the Network Center settings, check "Network discovery" or other options. I havn't vista installed, but I remember while testing rc2 there are settings for each "zone" Public, Work, Home ...
