I'm using every updated version of your program. Thank you very much! I just hope you can add the version number to the topic title every time you release a new one. Thanks again.

Thanks. I just wanted VISTA-looking BBs to be in one place. Since Windows VISTA is knocking doors now, people who may be sticking to XP (including myself) for some time in the future will not be satisfied with regular BBs. I think VISTA-looking BBs are urgently needed. I hope others can share their works, here.

If you want to use it on your current system, extract logonui.ex_ and put the resulting logonui.exe in %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 replacing the original one. (SFC must be off!) If you want to add it to your UACD, put logonui.ex_ in i386 replacing the original one.

Download. Originally, this logon screen was named as "Winter Clear" and was made by boss019 on www.wincustomize.com! I just replaced two bitmaps to suit (IMO) Royale Noir. They are: BITMAP 100: 1600 x 1200 x 24b BITMAP 2005: 600 x 500 x 32b The attached file (logonui.ex_) is modifyPEd and makecabbed.

What about a logon screen (logonui.exe) that has exactly the same background as the one I added to Royale Noir? If you, guys, see it could be relevant; I'll post it! OFF TOPIC: Thank you, ricktendo64, for the guide! I managed to make my own signature.

Honestly, I don't call them from cmdlines.txt directly! This is my cmdlines.txt: This is my UserAdd.cmd: All cmdlines.txt, UserAdd.cmd, CDLMROEX.inf, and HDCURO.inf are in $OEM$ folder.

classic start menu can be set in your WINNT.SIF under [shell].

This is my CDLMROEX.INF! It resides as I:\$OEM$\CDLMROEX.INF along with I:\$OEM$\UserAdd.cmd! Where I: is a CD-ROM letter. CDLMROEX.INF is called by UserAdd.cmd using this line of code: START /WAIT rundll32 %SystemRoot%\system32\ADVPACK.DLL,LaunchINFSection CDLMROEX.inf,DefaultInstall I use CDLMROEX.INF instead of RunOnceEx.cmd. The included apps are to be installed right from a CD. So, %01% resolves to I:\$OEM$ where CDLMROEX.INF resides. (see the code, below!) As you may have already guessed, whenever %01% is used in an INF file; it always resolves to the path where the INF resides. NB: CDLMROEX, you see in %01%\CDLMROEX, is the folder containing apps to be installed. It has no relation to the INF name! However, there are variables other than %01%. For a complete list and intensive information on INF files, you should use WillyPad; freeware by Snoopy81.

I'm trying my luck!

Create a reg file with these entries. Run it on your current system,log off then back on. I hope it has no side effects if applied while unattended.

I've already started in Post #17!

You're trying to install a program of NSIS installer type. The message advises you to either re-download the package or use the switch /NCRC to force the installation. Example of NSIS installers is Winamp. This is not related to nLite!

@ Xyberz I've re-read the other replies and I can't see any offence by anyone. We are JUST saying: Hey! nLite works for us!

@ Xyberz This is (nearly) my Last_S file of presets. This SAFELY reduces my source by 163 MB! I could save more space by reducing the Drivers.cab, but I buy and test HW for others. So, I choose to leave Drivers.cab untouched. I could save more space by removing Windows Setup files, but I sometimes need to install Windows from the deskop of another system. So, I need Windows Setup files. I could save more space by removing some services, but I usually install new programs and new HW. So, I'd rather leave all services installed. Otherwise, I'd run into problems half the way when working. I, also, prefer using my own reg-files collection to tweak my system. I use CreateUser.exe to create new users and to handle the autologon presets. Also, my old (but updated if necessary) WINNT.SIF is good enough. Finally, effective usage of nLite (as any other tool) is your own responsibilty; unless there's a bug.

The main idea behind why nLite came to existence is TO Reduce The Source Size of Windows! By the time, more features were added to nLite just to reflect peoples' needs. nLite has been always refined for bugs, when found. I think nuhi is quite responsive. But you're talking about nLite as if it's To Modify Windows. Surely, there's a program you can use, after installation; to remove Windows components. I think it's litexp or xplite or something. Using nLite, you should ask yourself: "I need more space left on my CD so that I can add more software to it. What are Windows components that I'll NEVER use?" As for me, Lang folder alone is reduced 55 MB. Removing some other components makes a total reduction of Windows source of about 163 MB (including that of Lang folder). You do not have to remove something just because you don't know what it is.

@ just_laze You're lucky! My MFU menu isn't working.

Thank you, Lost Soul! This looks better than the one I found few days ago.
