Microsoft released a new build of Windows XP Pro 64bit Extended (AMD64) on MSDN ...gotta be better than 1069 Cheers

I've seen that OEM Combo disc floating around on Ebay recently for around $10...Maybe you could snag one from there? Cheers

How are you trying to load it with cdshell? Cheers

Ebay Cheers

You could try adding: -J -N -joliet-long -no-iso-translate Cheers

It won't work converting the iso, you'll either have to use the floppy version or just copy the files to your cd and copy the pertinant isolinux config information. Cheers

You'll probably get a faster response at the pebuilder forums http://www.911cd.net/forums Cheers

There is also a version of mkisofs Here that supports duplicate file optimization much like CDImage does. No more need for DFL. Cheers

If you want a reference for original dates, cd labels and such, here is a file you can use. I find it is sometimes handy for the files to have the original date. Cheers LABELS.TXT

Just copy the bitmap you want to use to %windir% and set this key: ; Set the default wallpaper [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="nameofbitmap.bmp" ; WallpaperStyle 0 = Center, 1 = Tile, 2 = Stretch "WallpaperStyle"="2" "TileWallpaper"="0" if you run this from T-12 it should be the default wallpaper for all users. Cheers

@wolfshade If you are running the renuser program from a batch file, put a PAUSE command right after the renuser command. That way you should be able to see if it executed or if it had an error. Cheers

I'd use it if I didn't have to pay for the resource kit to get it Cheers

@wolfshade I don't think you can remove the built in accounts (Guest and Administrator), you can only rename them. As an addendum, here is a somewhat more secure way to do the whole thing: Get netuser.exe, renuser.exe, sdelete.exe, and copypwd.exe. Run copypwd on a machine where your renamed (and passworded) guest and fake adminstrator account are already setup like so: CopyPwd DUMP >copypwd.txt The file copypwd.txt now contains all the accounts that where on the machine in the format accountname:reallylongpasswordhash Delete all but the two for the renamed guest and the fake administrator account. Now drop all the files you downloaded including the copypwd.txt you just made into the system32 folder however you like (I use $OEM$\$$\System32 during setup) and run a batch file like this (from whatever part of setup you want, t-13, runonce...etc) @echo off echo Renaming/Creating Accounts renuser guest notguest net localgroup guests notguest /delete renuser Administrator admin net user /add Administrator /active:no /passwordchg:no /passwordreq:yes netuser Administrator /pwnexp:y net localgroup users Administrator /delete copypwd set sdelete -p 7 %windir%\system32\copypwd.txt del /F /Q %windir%\system32\copypwd.exe del /F /Q %windir%\system32\renuser.exe del /F /Q %windir%\system32\netuser.exe This will rename the guest account, remove it from the guest group and set a password on the guest account (If you install the .Net framework later it will put it back there FYI). It will also rename the administrators account to something else and create a dummy Administrators account while removing the dummy account from the users group. This way (using copypwd) you're not showing the passwords in plaintext, just the password hashes which I don't really mind since they are disabled accounts anyway. Cheers

You can use CDShell with a cdshell.ini that looks like this: cls isolinux That way its just like you were running isolinux, but you can still use cdimage since it works with cdshell. If you use dfl with mkisofs make a backup first. It will replce duplicate files witha text file. Cheers

You can use the Symantec Packager program that came on the same CD-ROM to repackage the install file so that it will be managed and pointed to a specific antivirus server. You can also turn off the option to have it run live update immediately after install so it won't pop up during the windows install. Cheers

A quick and dirty way would be to rename your file to bliss.jpg, cab it up and replace BLISS.JP_ in your I386 folder. Another thing to consider is trying to use the Current User registry key, if your applying your tweaks at t-13 (Where Current User gets applied to the Default User). You do need the double \s though. You also might need to convert your image to a bitmap...not sure about that. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\kemixp.jpg" Cheers

Don't quote me on this, but I think you can set your default resolution with the following registry keys. ; Set Default Color Depth ; 0x8 is 8 bit 0x10 is 16 bit ; 0x18 is 24 bit 0x20 is 32 bit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\VgaSave\Device0] "DefaultSettings.BitsPerPel"=dword:00000020 ; Set Default Resolution ; 0x280 is 640 0x1e0 is 480 ; 0x320 is 800 0x258 is 600 ; 0x400 is 1024 0x300 is 768 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\VgaSave\Device0] "DefaultSettings.XResolution"=dword:00000400 "DefaultSettings.YResoultion"=dword:00000300 ; Set Default Refresh Rate ; 0x03C is 60hz ; 0x041 is 65hz ; 0x046 is 70hz ; 0x048 is 72hz ; 0x04B is 75hz ; 0x055 is 85hz [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\VgaSave\Device0] "DefaultSettings.VRefresh"=dword:0000003C **Note** I've not actually tried this as I usually set it in the winnt.sif file. Cheers

If you already have it in the answer file why are you changing the password in a batch file? The encrypted password will only work in the answer file (winnt.sif) during setup. Just set that password to what you want then and you shouldn't have to change it later. Cheers

Well...if you're talking about the real administrator account you can have that encrypted in your answer file (winnt.sif) by using setupmgr.exe (Located on your XP disc in \SUPPORT\TOOLS\DEPLOY.CAB). This way you don't have to set the administrator password in a batch file in plain text. Cheers

You can't. The slipstream functionality was only included in Windows 2000 and up. Cheers

Extract all the files from the floppies and put them into a single folder on the cd. WFW does not require itself to be installed from floppies so you don't need to have the files in seperate folders. Cheers

@RaveRod I honestly don't know. I was playing it safe since i'm not quite sure when those accounts get created. @enuffsaid your welcome! Cheers

You could try making an image of your DVD and install it that way. Always works faster for me anyway. Cheers

Strange and unusual...it works in Windows 2000 (which I have at work) but not in XP (which I have at home). Hmmm... It would seem Google is my friend tonight Try the one Here. This one works for me on Windows XP. You would think Microsoft would give you a way to do this through the command line...sigh edit...maybe I linked to the wrong netuser.exe before? I could've sworn thats where I downloaded it from last week. Too many **** files named netuser.exe. edit 2...It was the wrong link. They have 2 files called netuser.exe on their site. Original post now fixed. Cheers

"ForceClassicControlPanel"=dword:00000000This will turn off the classic control panel. Think of it this way... 0 is off and 1 is on. Cheers
