Well I finally figured it out. hehe Three registy places: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] So set your theme you wish to use. Then log off and log back on. Then run regedit and export those three keys.

oh never mind

Well I am giving it 300secs, thats five min. And yea the registry entryies is just for this theme. Cause if you dont then it just picks the default settings for the visual style which is not what i want.

Anyone know how to fix the theme problem. That is it not completely loading the entire visual style and having to select it after install for it to show 100% correctly. You know in winnt.sif you have: [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Storm\Storm.msstyles" DefaultStartPanelOff = "Yes" DefaultThemesOff = "No" Then you apply the reg setting: ;Set Storm As Theme [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] "WCreatedUser"="1" "ThemeActive"="1" "LoadedBefore"="1" "LastUserLangID"="1033" "DllName"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\ 74,00,25,00,5c,00,72,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c,\ 00,54,00,68,00,65,00,6d,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,72,00,6d,00,\ 5c,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,72,00,6d,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,73,00,74,00,79,00,6c,\ 00,65,00,73,00,00,00 "ColorName"="Thin3" "SizeName"="LargeFonts"

Well darn that does not work. Cause apparently windows must start completely once. So I guess u can do and just have to restart the second time manually. Or just set to restart the second time like five mins later to give enough time for windows to be completely setup. Like for example some folders and start menu entries are not created. So you get a ton of "The system cannot find the file specified." and "Could Not Find" errors if you try to delete / create shortcuts, etc. Maybe someone can figure it out. Since it appears that only takes place if windows completely logs in which pretty much sucks. But this is only a problem if you want to do more than just the hotfixes. But if its just hotfixes it works great. Well i attached what i currently tested. Well appariently 120sec. delay works perfectly. So if you delay by 120secs. that gives windows enough time to finish up doing whatever it does the first time you login. Though I'm going to use 300secs. just to make sure myself. Since I plan on installing on slower computers that mine as well. So hopefully five mins will do it. Think it will since they are all over 1gb and have at least 256mb of ram. So if you have a slow computer you might want to wait even longer. Simply using: shutdown -r -t 300 -c "Rebooting To Complete Updates!" Unattend.ZIP

Thanks again, Will

Well it appears you have to restart twice and import twice if you wish to import HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registy settings. Cause the first time around you add the registry keys so when it intalls the appz it has most of the correct settings. Some install requries these settings. But then you restart and have to apply them again. Cause apparently some of the settings get replaced when you restart the first time by the applications and by windows itself. Like some internet explorer settings. Unless of course some one knows a way to get around this? ATM This is how I do it. First you run an update.cmd file called by GuiRunOnce in winnt.sif. Which is where you install all the sp2 updates which then at the end runs Finish.cmd which creates a RunOnceEx menu: @echo off SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Finish Installing Applications" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Cleaning Up and Rebooting" /f REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\cleanUp.cmd" /f EXIT Then at the end of update.cmd it tells the system to reboot. So now you have rebooted once and then once the system boots it of course runs the RunOnceEx menu where you install applications and registry entires. And once done it reboots the system a second time and your all done. Not sure if its need but in cmdlines.txt in $OEM$ I import all registry keys as well. I have two registry files. One for current user and one for local machine. Both of these are also imported during the RunOnceEx menu as well like I said. Thats the way I am doing it right now cause its just easier. Dont have to convert all the darn windows xp sp3 hotfixes to RunOnceEx form. So its just easier. And surely it requries the same amount of time so dont see how you could really make it easier or less time. That is without includeing the hotfixes in windows itself and not installing afterwords. Which I plan on doing later just dont have time right now. You know with inf files, etc. So all you do is normal windows setup and thats it. Though I am sure you will get some setup errrors in event log for unsigned files etc. But like that matters. I've attached the basic files. Of course u add what you want to them but its the basic setup. And auto run file is already on very first post in this topic. I'm still testing my full thing atm but if it all works i will post it too. Just getting ready to install in virtual pc so will be awhile. Well cay later, Will Basic.ZIP

Or you can just use eventvwr.exe. Hehe Did not even relize that existed. Prettys sweet cause you can use it to look at logs of other pcs too.

Thanks a lot prathapml, Will Well anyone know the Event Viewer one? Cause this is not working for some reason. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr] @="Event Viewer" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\eventvwr\command] @="eventvwr.msc"

Hey, Also, here is my ISO creating script I use. I have created two. One to just create the ISO. And one to first integrate sp2 for you and then create the ISO. Take Care, Will PS: Its just a cleaned up version from http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/finish.htm. So give credit to them for the create ISO one. I created the integrate one though myself.

Well i messed up on Journal Viewer. I put an " in there on accident. So re-uploaded the file. Sorry about that. Other than that everything has worked great. I have burned it twice now. Ran in virtual PC as well and everything is great. So re-download the file. Now just to make it GUI. Oh and about more control. You could change everything so something like this: ECHO Installing .NET FrameWork 1.1 ECHO. ECHO Are you sure you wish to install .NET FrameWork 1.1? (Yes/No) ECHO. PAUSE Then you need an if statement here. Dont know this part of the top of my head atm. Know linux but not windows. Tired as hell. Still have no sleep. lol So now of course it requires user input, but you can pick while installing what you want to install. Of course just answering with Yes or No when asked if you want to install the application. So if yes you do: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFramework\netfx.msi /qb then else go to next app to install Well i dont know right now maybe someone well figure it out. Maybe something like: set %install $?="Install .NET FrameWork 1.1(Yes/No) ?" if (%install == Yes) { echo Installing .NET FrameWork 1.1 set %install Yes } if (%install == No) { echo You have choosen not to install .NET FrameWork 1.1 set %install No } else { echo You must type in Yes/No return () }

Anyone know how to add msconfig and event viewer to my computer right click menu?

Hey, Well thought I would just post my complete batch file then. So simply download the attachment. This includes all updates I have posted. Yes WMP 10 and .Net 1.1 SP1 as well. Take Care, Will Update.ZIP

Now with everything I have done above. Just that. Only thing on windows update is windows media player 10 and .net 1.1 And if u want to install them in batch file you do so like this: Windows Media Player 10: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WMP10\WMP10.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N DisallowSystemRestore" Then install the latest hotfix for windows media player 10, which atm is KB889858: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB889858.exe /quiet /norestart Note: This hotfix is for windows media player 10 only. It updates it to build 3653. So make sure you install after install windows media player 10 or you will have the older build 3646. You can download the hotfix here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/3...858-x86-enu.exe Also, I have attached my registry file I use for windows media player 10. Skin mode, mp3 hack, no calling home, etc. Note: Only for WMP 10. Do not use with 9.0! .NET FrameWork 1.1: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFrameWork\NetFrameWork\netfx.msi /qb or start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFrameWork\NetFrameWork\netfx.msi /quiet /norestart Note: I prefer first method just so I see how much time it takes. lol But second one will be completely silent which is how everything else is. .NET FrameWork 1.1 SP1: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFrameWork\NetFrameWorkSP1\NetFrameWorkSP1.exe /qb Of course all our silent. Well now since u did that then Update for Windows Media Connect appears on windows update. Windows Media Connect: So extract wmcsetup.exe with winrar to a new folder. And in your batch file run: WinRMSrv.msi /quiet /norestart Now giving windows update a quick visit and your computer is completed updated with zero updates on windows update. Whoops attached wrong WMP. That was for the older build of WMP 10.0. This one is for the newest build, 3653. Srry about that. WindowsMediaPlayer.ZIP

Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool: Extract gdidettool.exe with winrar and in batch run: Not sure but the default command is: msiutil2.exe /cif gdidet.cif /extended gdidet.xml /log Have not figured out how to make it so u don't have to do anything. Really though u don't even need this with unattended install. Kinda pointless. Since on a new standard install nothing is vulnerable to the GDI+ Graphics Component security vulnerability. Windows Journal Viewer: Extract setup.exe using winrar to a new folder and in batch file run: "Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi" /quiet /norestart Remote Desktop Client 5.2.3790.0: Etract msrdpcli.exe with winrar to new folder. Then in batch file run: msrdpcli.msi /quiet /norestart KB836528: Well at first you get DoomCln-KB836528-v4-ENU.exe and extract it with winrar and you will get doomcln.exe. Then in your install batch file u do: doomcln.exe /S No need to do this either really since your clean!

Well I just do this and working great. Simple batch with these: start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WMP10\WMP10.exe /q:A /c:"setup_wm.exe /Q /R:N DisallowSystemRestore" start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFrameWork\NetFrameWork\netfx.msi /qb start /wait %systemdrive%\install\NetFrameWork\NetFrameWorkSP1\NetFrameWorkSP1.exe /qb start /wait %systemdrive%\install\HMTCDWIZ.EXE /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB884020.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885626.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885523.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885894.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB834707.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885932.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB883523.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB886677.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB888240.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB887742.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB873339.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885835.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885836.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB886185.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB887797.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB889858.exe /quiet /norestart Note: This hotfix is for windows media player 10 only. It updates it to build 3653. So make sure you install after install windows media player 10 or you will have the older build 3646. start /wait %systemdrive%\install\KB885222.exe /quiet /norestart start /wait %systemdrive%\install\scripten.exe /Q start /wait %systemdrive%\install\msxml4sp2.exe "Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi" /quiet /norestart msrdpcli.msi /quiet /norestart doomcln.exe /S All are silent install and require no user input or anything. Then when done it just restarts and computer is ready to go. I have done a unattended install and an update cd. Working great.

Anyone know the lock the taskbar registry one. Not at home right now so cant install RegSnap. Might be blind but dont see in registry file. Thanks, Will PS: prathapml you should update your post. Even it means just uploading the same file just so it looks newer. N/m i just found. hehe [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "TaskbarSizeMove"=dword:00000000

Yeap thanks again.

Page URL Not Found!! Yeap dead atm.

Sure. Make sure hard drive is formated NTFS. Then: My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View Tab > Uncheck "Use simple file sharing" Then in my computer right click on hard drive and choose properties and then the Sharing tab. Make sure "Do no share this folder" is checked. Then go to the "Security" tab and add the user or groups of users you wish to not have acccess and make sure that "Full Control" is set to Deny for all users and goups besides yourself. Then click ok.

How can I acquire Windows MUI? The Windows XP/2000 MUI is sold only through Volume Licensing programs such as the Microsoft Open License Program (MOLP / Open), Select, and Enterprise agreement (or with a new computer as an OEM version at customer request). It is not available through retail channels.

Thats no true at all. There are no popups/spyware/adware of any kind. I have been using RoboForm since pre 1.0 and am using latest pro build right now. So I can say 100000% that is a complete lie.

Yeah I would like it to do adv search automaticlly as well. Above tweak is only for setting up adv search not making it do it automaticly.

All right got it. Thanks a ton, Will
