After some more searching found this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/RunOnceEx_regist...ded#entry374611 RunOnceEx is not available in Current User, only in Local Machine. I've got round my problem by creating a batch file with the commands above and sticking a short-cut link in the default users profile. At the end of the batch file the short-cut is deleted. Running the above from RunOnce cause problems as suppose they need the explorer shell to exist. Anyways, all the answers are in this forum, if you know where to look Thanks..

Yes, of course! RunOnce is the way Was getting hung up about how the reg key got deleted, so only thought about using RunOnceEx... Thanks for your help.

Sorry, being a bit think here, but how can I envoke an application on first logon for each new user? This is after an unattended install, and following an admin adding a new user, and that user then logs in.. Want a kind of RunOnceEx in the default current user hive... but that doesn't work Note the application is the Nvidia desktop Manager. Want it to automatically be enabled for all users in the system without their intervention. Commands are from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/nVidia_Drivers_D...ion_t96836.html but are basically: rundll32.exe nview.dll nViewCmd pon rundll32.exe nview.dll nViewCmd loadprofile dualview all Thanks, Chris

After some reasearch found a Microsoft utility called tzedit.exe. This can be used to change time zone information, and in my case, remove the daylight saving information from the GMT time zone. Utility available towards the bottom of this MS aricle: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914387

Does anyone know if this could be achieved usng setupapi perhaps? start /wait rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 DAYLIGHTSAVINGOFF.INF

I've created a file called GMT.reg with the following content: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] "Bias"=dword:00000000 "StandardName"="GMT Standard Time" "StandardBias"=dword:00000000 "StandardStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "DaylightName"="GMT Standard Time" "DaylightBias"=dword:00000000 "DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "ActiveTimeBias"=dword:00000000 "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet"=dword:00000001 I'm calling this from cmdlines.txt during the install but it's not sticking. After the first logon, opening the time zone windows still has the checkbox ticked. However, if I run GMT.reg again the checkbox is cleared, but the time is not thrown 1 hour back as expected. So right timezone, but wrong time

Want my computers to always display GMT time, and not adjust for daylight saving. Using regmom noticed the following registry keys being changed when I played with the Date/Time tote in the control panel, so tried to effect these changes automatically during the unattended install. Unfortunately it's not working. Has anyone achieved this behaviour and could share their findings? Thanks, Chris ;==================================================================== ; Switch off the daylight saving settings which is on by default ;==================================================================== [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation] "DaylightName"="GMT Standard Time" "DaylightBias"=dword:00000000 "DaylightStart"=hex:00,00,0a,00,05,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "ActiveTimeBias"=dword:00000000 "DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet"=dword:00000001

Yes, my fun was ruined. You were correct in identifying this was for commercial application, so after reading the EULA I immediately stopped using nLite and switched to hacking the changes in with notepad.exe. It's not all that bad TBH. I'm not wanting to remove any of the windows features which nLite does so smoothly. Driver integration has been achieved by follwoing the procedure described in the sites web pages (http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/34/). Thanks for highlighting. Chris

My hardware is a HP xw4100 with Nvidia 280SD dual head graphics card. My unattended setup correctly installs the Nvidia driver having followed this procedure: http://www.msfn.org/board/nVidia_Drivers_D...st&p=648303 Current settings within WINNT.SIF are: [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Question: Is it possible to automate the enabling of the dual heads (Extended dektop), and set my desired resolution on both monitors? Currently have to: 1) Open display properties > Advanced 2) Tab Monitor > Uncheck "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display", click OK 3) Select monitor two and check "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor". 4) Set resolution on monitor two, click OK TIA, Chris

Thanks for the installation instructions, they work great however my system has a dual head display and I do not think these settings are held within the NVIDIA TVP file. Is there any way to setup the display properties, maybe in a similar style to the desktop management above?

Think I've answered my own question! http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/35/ "You have just completed allowing your Windows setup to install the drivers from CD. SetDevicePath.exe will scan the recursively all the directories in the path you specify (see the presetup.cmd file for example), so even subfolders are also scanned. Any INF's found are added to the Device Path that Windows checks when it find new hardware. In this fashion, just drop any future drivers into your driver folder, and Windows will automatically use them if neccesary during setup." Suppose adding drivers via nLite will achieve the same..

I need to create an unattended install CD for use on multiple computers which have different hardware (motherboards, chipsets, audio etc). My development so far has focused on one system and have successfully created an unattended install CD for this. However when I attempt to use the same unattended install CD in another computer with different hardware it fails (audio driver not compatible). Question is, can I integrate all the various chipset drivers, audio drivers, into one unattended install CD and will Windows Setup be cleaver enough to choose the correct one? Using nLite 1.3.5 Thanks, Chris
