Hi again, It appears regtweaks used in RunSynchronous command @ specialize pass, which are set for CURRENT_USER are applied to DEFAULT user but not for the user created in autounattend.xml I create one user in autounattend.xml different from Administrator but which is in Administrators group, and regtweaks aren't present in CURRENT_USER hive. If I create a new user regtweaks are present for the new created user. Where I can put CURRENT_USER regtweaks for same effects as current_users for xp in cmdlines.txt ?

Hi all & Happy New Year ! Just to say I'm trying localized vista, and it appears during gui setup users & group are in English ... So in AutoUnattend.xml you doesn't need to converts group name to "Administrateurs" for example for French version. Keep "Administrators" name

Overclocked computer ? Try other RAM sticks ...

For KB917275 .exe -override 1 /I MsDrmClient.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress -override 2 /I RmClientBackCompat.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress KB839178 no needed if WMP11 if I remember ... I don't use KB839178, perhaps it's same switchs.

Thanks ponghy, I will use your script.

net share will share folder and subfolders too. If you can browse subfolders check NTFS permissions. net share will allow "write" of shared folder, double check NTFS permissions if you want to keep read only. For info "cacls" can set NTFS permissions in command line.

we must follow M$ ... SP1 is now obsolete ... what the problem of using sp2 ?

effects.exe is only for current user logged. If you want to define visual efffects for all users you must use cmdlines.txt. Notes concerning cmdlines.txt -> http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/14/ For me in cmdlines.txt, I have [Commands] ... regedit /s effects.reg ... and my effects.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Affichage [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects] "VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000003 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:b0,12,03,80 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ComboBoxAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\CursorShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DragFullWindows] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\DropShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\FontSmoothing] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByFontTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListBoxSmoothScrolling] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewAlphaSelect] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewShadow] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\ListviewWatermark] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByFontTest"=dword:00000000 "MinimumMEM"=dword:00000000 "MinimumCPU"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\MenuAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\SelectionFade] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TaskbarAnimations] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\Themes] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TooltipAnimation] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000000 "DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\WebView] "DefaultValue"=dword:00000001

I think you use drivers for your input devices ... Uinstall it ...

You can use explorer ftp://ftp.yoursite.com to use IE6 's ftp mode.

Your regtweaks works only if they're applied during cmdlines.txt. If post-install, use SetVisualEffects.exe from SMC1979 ( http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=30078 ) ( I have attached the program because I havn't found original location in the board ) You can make a settings.ini with your settings inside and run it in a command line effects /silent effects.exe

I have re-tested my post-hotfixes install without KB901190 and it doesn't appears in WU, I have read the security bulletin and it seems to be a hotfix for Korean only ( http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms06-009.mspx ).

I have KB901190 in my list for me ...

I have made other tests and in fact it's because I install KB918899 which is cumulative update for IE6. This update has a Windows Update client I think because when I install it I can access WU without popup ... I have deleted this update because it's now superseeded by KB925454 (I keep updates for IE6 for systems I don't update to IE7), and I have re-integrated WindowsUpdateClientv6.

There "net use" function to map a letter to a network path. net use g: \\pc\sharedfolder

FrameWork 3.0 isn't needed on Windows XP for the moment, for me I will integrate this version when I use an application that require it ... edit: BTW, RogueSpear has made a silent install for .NET FW 3.0 http://www.doitrightconsulting.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=132

WPA.DBL doesn't work since SP1 of Windows XP. AutoActivate = Yes works if you havn't reached your activatations limit, else you must call MS to activate. OEM Pre-Activation is the best method if you owned an OEM computer of course ^^ edit: You can use the old Windows XP no-service pack version to use WPA.DBL method and after apply SP2 but it's a poor method ...

you can use command line with netsh @echo off set interface_name=Local Network Connection rem ip netsh interface ip set address name="%interface_name%" static ip mask gateway 1 rem dns netsh interface ip set dns name="%interface_name%" static dns_ip edit: change ip , mask , gateway and dns_ip to your real IP ...

Thanks for WGA update, mine version updated from 1.5.540 to 1.5.560, big update ^^ but I like latest version ...

MGADiag.exe is nice util, but I havn't find any info about command line options or output log

Hi all, How can I detect if Windows is activated or not ? With command line or vbscript , file detection ? It's interesting to install IE7 & WMP11. Thanks!

Try in Firefox browser. You can try reset settings to default in IE too.

It's now embedded in an InstallShied, use /s /v"/qb /norestart"

IMHO, the easiest method it to set options of the 7-Zip menu directly in 7-Zip main program, and after export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip\Options\ContextMenu.
