hunterdg

maybe dumb question.. when do i 'tick' the checkboxes under the desktop tab? I am unable to figure out what difference, if any, having these boxes checked makes..... Regardless of the checked state, if i "apply" and 'save' the settings on the manifest tab, it seems to load the same.. anyone?

ok, thanks for the reply.. i DO have XP home, and i saw something along those lines when i serached but i dismissed it because the 'owner' user does NOT get created when doing an old fashioned attended install where you enter the desired usernames at the welcome screen. thus it is probably something that can be fixed... unless it's just a symptom of unattended setups.. i'll just delete that user.. and i don't see an "owner" tab on the unattended page.. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...nk/userstab.jpg but why is ANY full name required for an unattended install? i am NEVER prompted to enter a full name for any user during an ATTENDED install.. thx again..

any ideas? anyone?

on the 'unattended' page, 'Users' tab, of nlite, I check the 'active' box for both the 'administrator' and 'hunter dg' (my preferred username), and check the blank password box for both. This results in a user account of 'owner' being installed. Where does this come from? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...unk/userbox.jpg If i perform a normal install, (not unattended), i can create my 'hunter dg' user on the welcome screen, and no 'owner' account is installed, but there is a 'administrator' account. this is the way i prefer. i have tried renaming the 'owner' account to 'administrator', thinking that it actually is the original admin account that just somehow gets renamed, but when i do, i get a dialog box : 'an account named 'administrator' already exists, type a different name' even though the administrator account is NOT listed in 'user accounts', where it normally is when a regular, attended install is performed.. what gives? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...nameaccount.jpg another strange thing: when i fill out the 'full name' field of the administrator user with 'administrator' or 'hunter dg' (the 'full name' used for the hunter dg account) the box turns red, as if i am not allowed, and if i switch away, and then back again to the administrator account, that field is blanked out.. what does the 'full name' of the account have to do with anything? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...nk/adminred.jpg along the same lines, why, when i select 'fully automated install' am i prompted to enter the administrators full name in order to have a fully automated install? I'm never prompted for that field in an ATTENDED install, nor in a 'hide pages' unattended install. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...insfullname.jpg and one last thing.. a suggestion.. possibly add the 'optional networking components' and 'networking services' options to the 'network' registry tweaks? namely support for UPNP user interface http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g236/hun...ingservices.jpg TIA for any help regarding the users issue.. it baffles me
