AFAIK the only NAV that works on W2k3 is NAV corporate edition.

I tried enabling the "My Computer" Desktop Icon under Display Properties/Desktop/Customize Desktop/ But the "My Computer" Checkbox is greyed out. That implies to me, that somehow "My Computer" really is disabled on the system.

umm, that would mean, that I have to recompile the bootdvd and install VMware or something like that and install it there?

Hello wolfshade, I've been searching google for a regtweak to activate "My Computer" for a while now, but still haven't found anything. It would be nice if you had a hint on where to find something like that, even if its for winxp.

I did also add the unattended install of a few applications. The I added the cmdfile which performs the install to this post I also attached my winnt.sif file to this post so maybe that may help figuring the problem out. Thanks again to all the helpful guys here. files.rar

oh no i did more than just regitry tweaks, but actually nothing with the source or so, it really is an unattended install. I Added my registrytweaks as a .reg file thanks for your time! RegTweaks.reg

never heard of nLite and I wouldn't know how to modify the windoes source. Only thing I did was tweak the registry.

Hi there, after the installation of my unattended Windows Server 2003 standard edition from my multi boot disc I miss the "My Computer" In the startmenu and also on my desktop and Windowsexplorer. The only way to get there is by going into the windows explorer and navigating directly to a harddrive and go one level up. It then says "My Computer" in the Addressbar, but it does not show any icons. The Window stays completely empty. Any help or suggestions on that?

Hi there. Since I want my favorite tools not only to be installed after my Windows XP install but also after my WIN2K3 install I will have to do the $OEM$ folder-method for every single os installed to my multi boot dvd, meaning, that I will have several copies of my favorite tools on my dvd, taking place for other things. That is, because on every computer the CD-Drive has a different drive-letter, so I can't simply install them from my DVD. I have solved that problem by creating a program that will find out that driveletter and modify your installation.cmd according to the new information. With only a few minor and easy to apply changes to your current installation you will be able to save a lot of space. Instructions: - Extract the sourcedir.exe from the attached archive. - Place that file in the $OEM$\$1\Install folder of the os that you want to apply your installations to. - Move all the programs that you want to have installed to a folder of your choice, but outside the $OEM$ folder structure. (I placed my tools in d:\Applications\) - Add your *.cmd file that you were using to install programs silently in the same folder and rename it to "install.cmd". - Modify your install.cmd so that now the path to the applications points to the cd drive by using the %sourcedrive% variable for the dvd-driveletter. For example one of my line looks like this: start /wait %sourcedrive%\Applications\Daemon\daemon.msi /QN--In your winnt.sif file modify the execution of your cmd file to the following: [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\sourcedir.exe That's it! Now the only thing you will have to do to add the same tools to win2k3 for example, is to copy the "sourcedir.exe" and the install.cmd to the $OEM$\$1\Install directory and adjust the install.cmd to whatever differences in configuration you want for the other os. If this does not work for you, because I made a mistake, or if this method is more than complicated, or if someone else had the same or a better idea before please tell me.
