I have this problem too on my server, but I didn't run an unattended install on there. I believe I did apply my registry tweaks there though. Also, are you really missing everything? I'm missing like half of the features (like show My Documents on Start Menu). Oh well, I did find this in your registry tweaks:
;-----
;----- Change the Default Wallpaper to the one you want
;-----
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]
"BackupWallpaper"="%%systemroot%%\\wallpaper\\ScotRiver2.bmp"
"Wallpaper"="%%systemroot%%\\web\\wallpaper\\ScotRiver2.bmp"BackupWallpaper should probably be %%systemroot%%\\web\\wallpaper\\ScotRiver2.bmp too.

This should work:
[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"
"UserAccounts.cmd"
"IESmallIcon.cmd"
"REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg"
"BOOTCFG /RAW \"/EXECUTE /FASTDETECT\" /ID 1"0 -
To add an shortcut to the quicklaunch bar, i've got a few questions about that
If I put a shortcut to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch, the shortcut doesn't show
Is it possible to add a shortcut to all the users that have been created?
Put it in C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Are you running winnt32.exe (from Windows)? NTUpgrade will only work with winnt32.exe.

@Tsunami
yours doesnt work, i havent tested nakira's yet, but with yours it just erases the preset 1s
any ideas how 2 fix it since i dont know vbs
thanks
EDIT: nakiras doesnt work either
it adds the value "C:\\" so it doesnt registerYes, it replaces the presets, but your reg file does that too. I tested it on my HKCU key, because I disabled the Places bar, but I'll reenable it and see if I can change it so it will add places instead of overwriting them.
Edit: Alright, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant it erased the default places, but you meant it wasn't showing any places at all. I just tested it, and apparently you don't need the two slashes in a vbs file. Use one slash and it will work.

Thanks gunsmokingman and Incroyable HULK
I ended up using AutoIT, when I tried to use Reshacker it said my .bat
file was not a 32bit executable and wouldn't open it.
P.S I bunged up my iexplorer icon and others using a program
called reseditor I found in this forum. Don't know if its
something I did wrong or not. But searching the registry showed
about 150 places where defaulticon points to where reseditor is
installed. Tried a repair install but that didn't fix it.
Oh well I need to really test my unattended CD.
You have to open cmd.exe in ResHacker, not your .bat file. And if you just want to change the icon of the shortcut, it's not neccesary to hack cmd.exe. Nakira's method will be enough.

BOOTCFG /RAW "/NOGUIBOOT" /A /ID 1
will add /noguilogo to the first OS in boot.ini.
Edit: doh, too late
hp38guser's commands will work too.0 -
And here's the not so messy vbs file
:Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
I = 0
For Each Drive in FSO.Drives
If Drive.DriveType = 2 Then
Shell.RegWrite "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ComDlg32\PlacesBar\Place" & I, Drive.DriveLetter & ":\"
I = I + 1
End If
NextNo external files needed, just run it from anywhere you like
Edit: Replaced the double slashes with one slash.

If the cd is on a network share, you can easily slipstream SP2 with the cd, and then run X:\I386\winnt32.exe /unattended

Some sites where you can learn and find examples:
PHP
SQL
I'll see if I can find some more, because the other PHP sites I have are Dutch...
Basic PHP & MySQL isn't that hard to learn, but it's basically finding examples and trying out yourself. I'm not an expert at both PHP and MySQL, but I know the basics (and I'm a quick learner
), so if you want any help, just send me a PM or something.0 -
Like the site says, there is no basic structure for a DAT file. Meaning it can be anything: audio, video, a picture, text, etc. They just renamed it to .dat so you can't recognize it. The only way you might recognize it is by opening it in Notepad, and see if you find something you recognize.

http://www.filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=dat
Can be just about anything: text, graphic, or general binary data. There is no specific structure for a .DAT file. You can use an editor like EditPad Pro Notepad to look inside a .DAT file and possible determine its contents and relationship with a program. If you are looking for information on the file INDEX.DAT please see the FAQ.0 -
isn't their a command to uninstall outlook express? there should be
if u go to add/remove programs there is an option to remove o.e. and windows media player.
i just know the command
The option in add/remove programs will only remove the shortcuts to OE, there's no way to uninstall it after Windows was installed.

If reg.exe works fine on 2000, I think it's easier to use the batch file instead of the reg file.

@Alanoll and @Tsunami,
I am extremely familiar with how to refine searches, and know how to search as well as any of you. But quite often the information one needs is found in an unrelated thread, where the title of the post has nothing to do with the information you seek. This is most apparent when wading through application switches or registry tweaks.
You guys did not read my post carefully. I thought I had made it clear I knew how to refine searches by limiting to Titles of posts when I said:
The problem is that when you do a "Search" for something, and you are searching beyond just the title of the posts (which is more often than not quite necessary to get any results)I'm sorry, I read your post wrong
I thought it said that you're always searching beyond the title of the topic. Yes, you're right that you not always get what you want, but that has little to do with the search, but with people who post it.I have a solution to a problem that has been driving me crazy.The newest nlite 99.4 b2 combines both media player 6.4 and the new wmplayer 9 for removal.
This causes a problem if your like me and like the summary info for video files. Avi, mpegs etc And don't use any of the win media players. I usa media player classic.
I always thought that wmp 9 had to be installed in order to see the summary. Then when nlite seperated 9 and 6.4 I found out it was 6.4 that added the summary. Now the nlite put them back together I found out its neither of them. Its already there but its not turned on.
The summary for video files does not relie on any of the win media crap. Its 1 file that can restore the summary if you remove both media players. That file is unregmp2.exe. This is of course removed with the media players in nlite but it is designed to allow you access to the summary without using any player. So nuhi needs to fix that and add it back to the install.
Anyway I now add that to my install and when I reinstall I have the summary fix.
That's it
I don't think nuhi should leave the unregmp2.exe file out of the removal process, since it's a file that belongs to WMP. If you want it to stay, just put the filename in the Keep Files box, and you're done.

FileSystem has two values: ConvertNTFS or LeaveAlone. It has nothing to do with weither you want to format the drive, but with if you want convert it to NTFS or not.

If you use this tweak to autologon:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUsername"="Username"
"DefaultPassword"="Password"
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"Use this tweak to remove the autologon:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"DefaultUsername"=-
"DefaultPassword"=-
"AutoAdminLogon"=-0 -
This has probably nothing to do with your winnt.sif, but with your txtsetup.sif. Have you modified that file?

@Alanoll,
Please don't take what I am going to say the wrong way, as I value your contributions to the board, and your wonderful attempts to keep some order. You have also helped me a lot with many of your great posts.
However, I think you need to relax sometimes regarding what may seem to you as redundant posts. Pezzie's post was quite helpful to quite a few people, I am sure, simply because the "Search" function at MSFN, in my opinion, leaves a lot to be desired, despite all the pearls of wisdom hidden within.
The problem is that when you do a "Search" for something, and you are searching beyond just the title of the posts (which is more often than not quite necessary to get any results), you get some results with posts with hundreds of replies, and you have to wade through these pages and pages of replies just in the hopes you find the exact page with the reply you needed. It is extremely time consuming.
So, if Pezzie found that to be case, I am sure those trying to find the same info in the future will be grateful for his time-saving post, as they would otherwise also have to wade through the baloney to get to the important, hidden, msfn filet-mignons...!
If you take some time to learn how to use the search, you can do everything you just said. Just take a look at the Refine Search section of the search. There you can select if you want to search in titles or in posts, and you can show the results in posts. That way, you don't have to wade through the whole thread, but you get the post you need right away.

These are UNIX commands, no?
Nope, just search for wget with Google.

You need to put the icon into the desired folder. And edit the desktop.ini.
This is what the desktop.ini from My Virtual Machines-folder looks like:
[.ShellClassInfo]IconFile="vm_folder.ico"
IconIndex=0
InfoTip=Contains VMware virtual machine files.
ConfirmFileOp=0
You don't need to put the icon the the same folder, the icon can be anywhere on your drive. Also, if you just want the icon to change, you only need IconFile and IconIndex.
@SiMoNsAyS: I didn't know that the folder had to have the system attribute, but you're right

Well, the way you did it should work, but the problem is that you're importing your RunOnceEx on first login. So your applications will be installed on second login. It's better to do what cartoonite said.

hp38guser's commands will work too.
T13 - Map Network Drive
in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003
Posted
Isn't it easier to run this command from RunOnceEx.cmd:
I have no experience with mapping network drives in an unattended setup, so I don't know if it's even possible.
