Thanks Nois3. I copied the line you gave me start "Adding Mamá to Power Users" /wait net.exe localgroup "Power Users" Mamá /add and pasted it into a "test.cmd" file, which I executed, both directly (by double-clicking) and by calling it manually from a cmd prompt. Neither method worked. The word "Mamá" was always replaced by "Mamβ" The strange thing is, if you MANUALLY TYPE that exact line in the cmd prompt, it works... I haven't tested the OOBEINF.ini method yet, since I need my computer for some academic work... If someone is doing an unattended install, please give it a try: the idea is to get the account "Mamá" to be succesfully created...and get the correct spelling (not "Mamβ"...) Thanks a lot Carlos

Well, i hope some of you have read this by now...any ideas? Has this happened to anyone with a French version of Windows? I've been wondering if the OOBEINFO.INI method could work in this case, but I'm afraid it won't work because it is based on a text file too... Well, if anyone is implementing an account for "José" or "Gérard", tell me how you solved this problem!! Thanks a lot. Carlos

Maybe a solution could be to automate the execution of the Network Setup Wizard, after finishing the Windows installation. Is this possible? Carlos

Hi great MSNF Unattended community. I hope you can help me with this. I have a Windows XP SP2 unattended CD that's working perfectly, using the RunOnceEx (from hard disk) method. I call "useraccounts.cmd" from "cmdlines.txt" to add users via REG method. I can create and add all user accounts perfectly. However, I've been unable to create accounts that contain special characters like "ñ" or "á" with this silent method. For example, I use the following in "useraccounts.cmd" to create an account named "Mamá" (for my mom ). net user Mamá /add net localgroup "Power Users" Mamá /add This, nonetheless, creates a user account mistankenly named "Mamβ", replacing the "á" with a "β". It also fails with characters such as "'é", "í", "ó", "ú" and "ñ". The interesting thing is that I can succesfully create user accounts with these special characters using: 1. the Control Panel's "User Accounts" panel or 2. Opening a "cmd" window and typing the above code. BUT, if I make a batch file using these commands (i.e. a cmd file, run after Windows is installed), and run it, the user account that is created contains the same error: it replaces "á" and puts in a "β". BTW, I'm using the US english version of Windows. Is there any way to automate the creation of accounts with such characters? I hope you could help me. Thank you very much! Carlos

Thanks for the info. However, I found out a way to revert Firefox to the original "I'm Feeling Lucky" behavior. Maybe someone else is trying to find the info (I post this here since it has to do with SyMoNsAyS silent installation of Firefox). Go to the Mozila Firefox Install Directory and afterwards to the defaults\pref directory (usually this is [Drive]:\Program Files\Mozila Firefox\defaults\pref). Then open the file firefox.js. Around line 121 of firefox.js you'll find this: pref("keyword.enabled", true); pref("keyword.URL", "http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="); Just change the first line to: pref("keyword.enabled", false); An you'll get the original behavior. I love Symonsays installation, it has made my life a whole lot easier. But how can I modify Symonsays original location bar search behavior so it is installed like this by default?? [besides replacing firefox.js once Firefox is installed] Or...how can I change just that single line of firefox.js once it is installed?? Thanks a lot! Carlos

I don't know if you've noticed, but when you type any word in the location bar of Firefox 1.0 by SymonSays (the first silent install option in this thread), Firefox doesn't have the "I'm Feeling Lucky" behavior, it just searches like the Google search box. (it changes any word, lets say, "test", with "keyword:test" I really like the "I'm Feeling Lucky" behavior, but I also like SymonSays method. How can I bring back the "I'm Feeling Lucky" search for the location bar?????? I just need it bad! Thanks to all of you. Carlos

XtremeMaC : Thank you for your post. I guess this little but ESSENTIAL tip should be on the main guide!!

Hey! It's nice to see my country's flag on the posts!! [Please excuse my excitement...it was my first post!]

XtremeMaC, thanks for this great release. I'm just starting in the unattended install world, and your contributions are great help and inspiration!! Thank you very much!!
