Add something like this to a batch file which is called from your WINNT.SIF WINNT.SIF [GuiRunOnce] Command0=%SystemDrive%\install.cmd install.cmd ECHO Configuring Windows Firewall ECHO Please Wait... netsh.exe firewall set service fileandprint enable all netsh.exe firewall set service remotedesktop enable all netsh.exe firewall set service remoteadmin enable all netsh.exe firewall set allowedprogram "%ProgramFiles%\Netmeeting\Conf.exe" "Netmeeting" Enable all netsh.exe firewall set allowedprogram "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" "Windows Media Player 11" Enable all ECHO. Of course you will have to change it to point to the correct program. Enjoy.

Only way to do it is to replace "Games" with "Downloads" using these registry entries: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}] @="Downloads" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}\DefaultIcon] @="imageres.dll,-184" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}\InProcserver32] @="shell32.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}\shell\open\command] @="explorer.exe shell:Downloads" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83B1-96B02CFE0D52}] @="Downloads" To remove and set back to default: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83b1-96b02CFE0D52}] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{ED228FDF-9EA8-4870-83B1-96B02CFE0D52}]

To fix the logon box color problem use this method... Straight from How to convert your Windows Server 2003 I just place these registry setting in my default registry hacks and it always come up dark. Hope this helps. Zedox, maybe you can integrate this into XPize Darkside?

I am setting up a group of workstations that I have locked down. What I want to do is to overwrite the "user" profile with my default profile on reboot. In doing so, whomever sits at the workstation will receive the same desktop and users making any changes will not be saved. I would prefer to do this with a logoff script because I already have one in place. Hopefully someone has done this before and it will be a quick and east fix.

The nvidia drivers do not have the specific on-board sound card drivers included for the mothboard. Go to the Asus website and do a search for that motherboard,look under the beta or newest tabs for drivers and it will be there.

As far as I can tell, a logoff (and logon) script is added to this registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Scripts\Logoff] "Script"="logoff.cmd" "Parameters"="" "ExecTime"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Scripts\Logon] "Script"="logon.cmd" "Parameters"="" "ExecTime"=hex(b):00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 Scripts must be in $OEM$\$$\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon and \Logoff

Look in the .inf file for locations or do an install on a machine and do a search for the location of each file you listed.

Magic JellyBean Finder..Google it

Your not getting the windows update install because of Windows Defender your getting the update because the WGA check isn't installed yet. Do a google search for RyanVM and check out his update packs. He has a version that includes the check so when you do an unattended install you don't get that windows update problem. BTW, your email has been sent.

Try to redownload Defender again and start fresh..maybe you removed something you shouldn't have.

Download Windows Defender Download Orca.msi (Search Google) [ORCA is part of Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK] Create a Administrative installation by running msiexec /A "c:\temp\WindowsDefender.msi" then it will ask where to put the files, I use c:\temp\Defender Now open new WindowsDefender.msi (ex. c:\temp\Defender\WindowsDefender.msi) in ORCA editor You have to delete several entries: CustomAction - CHECK_WGA CustomAction - OtherWGAError CustomAction - OpenURL CustomAction - LAUNCH_MY_PROGRAM_PLEASE InstallExecuteSequence - CHECK_WGA InstallExecuteSequence - OtherWGAError InstallExecuteSequence - LAUNCH_MY_PROGRAM_PLEASE and you MUST set this: Property - LAUNCHPROGRAM = 0 Property - AgreeToLicense = Yes Now you should be able to install Defender unattended without errors.
