Hi, I'm running RIS to install Windows XP SP2. I use a scripted Installation and I'm trying to tweak some settings. For example the Windows explorer shouldn't hide known file extensions. So I read the registry tutorial that says HKCU Settings should be applied in the T-12 Section, because it would then affect the default user profile so the tweak will affect any user of this system. I created the following hkcu.reg: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disable the Desktop Cleanup Wizard [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz] “NoRun”=dword:00000001 ;Alphabetically sort start menu [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSMConfigurePrograms"=dword:00000001 ;Disable Notify on new apps [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams] "Settings"=hex:08,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\ 69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,43,00,00,00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour] "RunCount"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3] "1601"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms] "AskUser"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] “EnableBalloonTips”=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] “FolderContentsInfoTip”=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\tips] “Show”=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] “StartButtonBalloonTip”=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] “ShowInfoTip”=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] “NoSMBalloonTip”=dword:00000000 ; show file extensions in explorer [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] “HideFileExt”=dword:00000000 full path in title bar and address bar. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState] “FullPath”=dword:00000001 “FullPathAddress”=dword:00000001 I copied this file to the OEM directory on my RIS server. I also added a line to the cmdlines.txt file: "regedit /S hkcu.reg" The problem is: None of those registry Settings are applied. I got tons of patches that are installed via cmdlines.txt so I'm pretty sure the file is read and everything's running fine, because they all install without problems. I suspect the problem might be the that no path is given to the hkcu.reg? Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Benjamin Koch edit: I only checked for the registry setting for domain users. I check if the registry tweaks are applied for local users. But we don't use roaming profiles so I guess this shouldn't be the problem? edit2: Just checked if the registry settings are applied for the local administrator account. They aren't
