It worked. Thanks a ton. Someone should write a good guide to doing this and sticky it so others don't have issues with it. I know its been a problem for a lot of people for a long time.

Alright so I need to move the $OEM$ folder up one level. If I do the OEM Preinstall, will I need to kill and restart the explorer process? If so, how do I do that?

Alright... I tried it but it didn't work. This is the file structure: /i386/$OEM$/ OEM Preinstall is enabled. I have a Tweak.reg file that containis the StuckRects2 key in it. I set my start menu and taskbar the way I wanted it, logged out and logged back in. I exported the key to the "Tweak.reg" file. I then put it in the $OEM$ folder allong with a Cmdlines.txt containing the following: " [Commands] "regedit.exe /S tweak.reg" " It still doesn't work. I tried enabling large icons manually and then using Tweak.reg to change it back while in windows and that didn't either. What am I doing wrong? Could it be a nLite setting that needs to be turned on or disabled?

Alright, that sounds easy enough. One question though. I don't have an $OEM$ folder or a cmdlines.txt. I have OEM preinstall enabled but I don't have the folder so could someone let me know where to put it and what exactly should be in the cmdlines.txt file. I'm going to have to make a blank one so as much info as possible would be great. Thanks a lot.

So basically, the only way to get it to work is to create a file that will modify the registry after it's first installed? Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that so I guess I'm screwed. Oh well.

Well, I can manually enable small icons later. Will this feature be added in a future version of nlite or is it impossible? Is there anyway at all I can get it to manually default to small icons?

I've been messing with nlite for a good 10-12 hours in the last few days trying to create the perfect XP disc. One thing bothers the crap out of me though and I'm wondering if you guys could help me out or point me somewhere that can. This is what I have it set to do now. I use the classic start menu and I have it set to automatically install and use Luna Element 5 and the black compact color scheme. In the start menu group of options, I check "Display small icons on start menu" but it doesn't work. Everything else works but it still displays the large icons. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
