CWShredder is the best for getting shut of CoolWebSearch here

Try the attached file. DEP.reg

if you have they StatusBarOther key in your registry change the value to 0, the status bar in Explorer should disappear, StatusBarWeb can show or hide IEs status bar as well

UnattendedSwitch="Yes" should be UnattendSwitch="yes"

Deleted - Just read you had tried this version, my bad

I ended up using this for SP2 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "StatusBarOther"=dword:00000001

I was smiling when typing..see...

Homepage download the program and read the help file, also, there is a separate forum on this site with info and help if needed.

didn't work for Bill Gates, well maybe for $47 billion worth

here is a page that explains the different services

That is one way, but I find it is quicker to burn a new cd and run on a separate machine.I use Virtual PC but it seems to take twice as long. Everything seems ok, but there is always something to p*** on your chips

Make sure this is at the top of the file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

not sure, use a cdrw and burn the iso, time for testing .I find it useful to have a pad and pen handy to write down a list of things that didn't work

1. Open Nero and create a new DVD-ROM (Boot) project 2. On the Boot tab, select Image file, and select the file i.e [cdshell]\boot\loader.bin 3. Use the "No Emulation" setting, and the number of loaded sectors should be 4. (Other values should be left at the default)

I add the shutdown script at the end of my xplode.xml, so all the apps and any tweaks will have been run.The time limit of 90 seconds gives the shell time to intialize and settings to be applied.When the time specified has passed, the machine will shutdown just as if you had used the "Turn Off Computer" button on the start menu With RunOnceEx, the entries are processed numerically, that is why you see numbers like 001, 002 etc, then after the command in the key has run, the key is removed so it will not be there after reboot. 1. Yes 2. Use RunOnceEx key or from [GuiRunOnce] in winnt.sif 3. No need to delete the key, see above. 3a. Yes 4. Use RunOnceEx again to run your cleanup, added at step 2, the only reg settings I have had trouble with not sticking after 1st boot are 1. Explorer small icons 2. Changeing the pagefile to another drive 3. Accepting The Privacy Statement For Media Player 9 4. Show Super Hidden Files In Windows Explorer all can be done with xplode, and yes anything in the run key runs at every logon.My files are attached if you want to look. xplode.zip

Could you just not run it from your winnt file? I use this, [GuiRunOnce] Command0="%systemroot%\XPlode.exe /xml:#systemdrive#\drivers\bennerspc.xml"

OK, no worries, at least you have it working with your script

Not necessarily, some programs will work for allusers some won't, I dont have the specifics. If you run from GUIRunOnce or RunOnceEx there are sometimes files copied to the Application Data folder and the path to %AppData% will be different for each user, there are also some reg entries that will be applied to the HKCU hive that may not work for future accounts, Paint Shop Pro and HKSfv are two programs that spring to mind. After I have installed my software, some of the programs require a reboot to initialize or replace files in use, program switches can delay this reboot and at the end of the install you can force the machine to reboot, using xplode I use this command <item display='Shutdown'> <execute display='Initiating Shutdown' program='shutdown' arguments='-r -t 90 -c "Finishing Windows Installation and Rebooting"' nowait='true'/> </item> Cleaning up the installation means to me deleting things like empty directories, quick launch icons, shortcuts, user accounts and applying more tweaks and yes deleting the $OEM$ folders like drivers

Do you have this in your winnt.sif file [Unattended] DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore this might stop the message about the driver. Did you try altering the silentinstall option in the AGSETUP.INI ?. Another way I have got the driver files is by using a program called My Drivers, this program can backup the device drivers on your system, then you can add them with the OemPnPDriversPath option.

You cant turn the services off with winnt.sif, unless you use a reg file or cmd, change the services you want running and stopped then backup the values of the services here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and add it to your tweaks reg file, or run it from cmdlines etc

Xplode from GUIRunOnce, you can't beat eye candy

I think it has something to do with Dynamic disks, found some info here, win2k related, but it must be something new to service pack 2 as it worked fine in sp1. I have disabled the Logical Disc Manager but that had no effect, the quest continues

Sorry it didn't work, does the setup you use not have an ini file like AGSETUP.INI with extra options in?

I have been trying stopping different services to see if they are the culprit but to no avail I have never had the problem with the syntax, attached is the cmd file I use, I have googled but only 1 result. I will keep searching and if I find anything I will post back here. You will need to edit the cmd file and put your username instead of benners, you probably new that but just covering all the bases delete.cmd

You dont need to add the line that I have put in, name your folder to what you want (I would avoid using spaces) i.e nvidia, ati or other manufacturer then place the folder in the $OEM$ folder on your disc.In your winnt.sif file use my code but change ati for your directory, additional directories can be separated with a semi-colon ";" OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\002_graphics\ATI;Drivers\002_graphics\nvidia During setup it is my understanding that Windows checks the driver paths in your answer file before using its default drivers, if it finds a newer driver it will use that one, but even the default Windows drivers should manage 1024x780, just dont set the refresh rate to high. for more information read this.
