How many of you update your computer with these hotfixes and packs, how often, and why? Me personally, have not upgraded anything since SP2 on XP Pro. I just don't see a reason no matter how many security holes they say there are...and then again how often, if you are, on the internet with a particular computer to need to fix "security holes". If a problem I see pops up on my computer, then I go and check if there is a fix for it, beyond that, I just can't be bothered with keeping up with it all. It almost comes in like a flavor of the month thing to some extent I think. Another reason is I'm noticing there are a lot of hotfixes to fix hotfixes. How ironic and irritating is that? I was personally planning on never hotfixing anything unless/if SP3 comes out for XP...and I mean about 4 months after that to make sure there aren't any problems with it. But for some reason, since I've been making this unattended CD, I've been considering putting the rest of them in, not for the reason of not having to download them and install, but just for the sake of it. P.S. just jokes...I never touch the stuff. Edit: Why can't I vote on my own poll?

Thanks for all the help. It seems to be working right. I never thought about the CDRW thing, I have a couple lying around, but in the nine years I've had a burner, I have never used one or thought about it. Considering this thing, I might try it out in the future. Philster, what do you mean CD-RWs are complete drags. Takeshi, I was being prompted for the name, organization, and serial. But I guess because I didn't have the organization it was prompting me for the rest. Still going to do a couple more tests, but seems good for now.

Thanks, but before I go and mess up another CD, even if some fields are left out, isn't this suppose to at least fill out the ones that I placed automatically?

I believe I've done everything correct, but it prompts me for questions during install, here is what I have: ; Generated by nLite 1.2 RC [Data] AutomaticUpdates="No" Autopartition=0 MsDosInitiated=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch="Yes" OemPreinstall="Yes" OemSkipEula="Yes" FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Hibernation="No" [Display] BitsPerPel=32 [systemRestore] DisableSR=1 CreateFirstRunRp=0 [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword="No" AutoLogon="Yes" AdminPassword=* TimeZone=035 OEMSkipRegional=1 OemSkipWelcome=1 [shell] DefaultStartPanelOff="Yes" [Components] [userData] ProductKey="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" ComputerName=MONEY FullName="Money" [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 Language= "0409" [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents="Yes" [WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall [WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0 [identification] JoinWorkgroup="WORKGROUP"

Thanks, the first example really wasn't hard at all, except for the last step where is NO direction or example given at all, could you/someone tell me what to do here: "Last, but not least we send the folder "My_Favourite_FontPack_Addon" to CabTool to make the file My_Favourite_FontPack_Addon.cab"

Is this possible just like how you would do SP2?

VERY STRONG SUGGESTION to anyone editing the boot screen. GET TuneUp Utilities 2006 to take care of it. It is the best way to take care of it. This resolved my problem, and also made the entire process easier with just a couple clicks of the button.

I made a boot screen 16 colors, everything is fine. I install it fine. I go to boot up and for a split second I see the correct color scheme, but then a flash and the colors are all screwd up and stays that way until everything is finished booting. OK, so I edit the HEX colors in the ntoskrnl file, still no change...same messed up colors. Does anyone know what is wrong? PLEASE HELP!!
