Hi all, I have read and leaned much from the community on this site and My many thanks for everyones efforts ! I love to customize my desktop and GUI. This of course leads to my reinstalling OS and Apps often. I use nLite ( Thank you Nihi !! ) what a useful program. learning by hands on has many draw backs which has bought me to write my first post. The help I need is your opinions on the easiest way for a beginner to start scripting. Is their a beginner's guide ? On-line Book, some resource that anyone knows of ? That works well for Noobs? I would like to use WPI but , I do not have a foundation to start from and all the help I have been able to find is not detailed enough for a beginner like me. I also looked at Autoit 3 but don't know where to start their either. I just want to start with things like, where programs install, pre registration, custom ico's, etc. during install of custom XP_CD. Hopefully there is a simple way to start and someone would be kind enough too help !! If I am asking for something that is not permitted on the forum, sorry and PM me. Thanks for your help!!! nu_duster
