Here is a section I run from a bat file in cmdlines.txt Echo Installing Custom Program links...for the QuickLaunch Bar Echo. rem Installing some default links MD "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" copy D:\XP_Installed_Programs\d*.lnk "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" copy D:\XP_Installed_Programs\c*.lnk "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories" Roger

To initialze the stack I tried several things until it started working, I ran the net view command and then mapped my drive I added a ping command to the startnet basically anything to get the network to talk TCP/IP R

echo Y | format c: /fs:FAT32 /q /V:CDrive Tyy that Roger

What is happening is the network stack has not completly initialized. What I had to do to get past it was issue a network command to initialze the stack and then issue a net use command. Roger

Thanks guys, works great. Roger

Please HELP! Roger

Actually, the problem I was having was a faulty DVD burner. I bought a new one and now regulary produce DVD that ar right at 4.7GB limit. Roger

Is your cmdlines.txt even running? You need to enable it in your winnt.sif. bring out some code and maybe I can see something you missed, It definitely works for me... R

The only way I have been able to get it is though the cmdlines.txt file when your building XP. I use a regedit /s filename.reg filename ;Enable Quicklaunch bar [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop] "Toolbars"=hex:11,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "TaskbarWinXP"=hex:0c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,b0,e2,2b,d8,\ 64,57,d0,11,a9,6e,00,c0,4f,d7,05,a2,22,00,1c,00,0a,01,00,00,1a,00,00,00,01,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,4c,00,00,00,01,14,02,00,00,00,\ 00,00,c0,00,00,00,00,00,00,46,83,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,a0,b0,48,5e,89,8d,bd,\ 01,00,d8,9e,e4,2a,8d,bd,01,00,45,fe,5e,89,8d,bd,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,13,01,14,00,1f,0f,e0,4f,d0,\ 20,ea,3a,69,10,a2,d8,08,00,2b,30,30,9d,19,00,23,44,3a,5c,00,00,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,cd,97,15,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,af,24,5c,b9,\ 10,80,57,69,6e,6e,74,00,00,20,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,af,24,a3,b9,10,00,50,72,\ 6f,66,69,6c,65,73,00,50,52,4f,46,49,4c,45,53,00,19,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,c1,\ 24,08,92,10,00,69,65,35,30,30,2e,30,30,30,00,00,28,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,c1,\ 24,08,92,10,00,41,70,70,6c,69,63,61,74,69,6f,6e,20,44,61,74,61,00,41,50,50,\ 4c,49,43,7e,31,00,21,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,c5,22,9d,91,10,00,4d,69,63,72,6f,\ 73,6f,66,74,00,4d,49,43,52,4f,53,7e,31,00,29,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,d3,22,32,\ a6,10,00,49,6e,74,65,72,6e,65,74,20,45,78,70,6c,6f,72,65,72,00,49,4e,54,45,\ 52,4e,7e,31,00,24,00,31,00,00,00,00,00,db,22,76,ba,10,00,51,75,69,63,6b,20,\ 4c,61,75,6e,63,68,00,51,55,49,43,4b,4c,7e,31,00,00,00,8d,00,00,00,1c,00,00,\ 00,01,00,00,00,1c,00,00,00,36,00,00,00,0d,f0,ad,ba,8c,00,00,00,1a,00,00,00,\ 03,00,00,00,e7,18,2d,23,10,00,00,00,49,45,35,30,30,5f,58,31,43,00,43,3a,5c,\ 57,49,4e,4e,54,5c,50,72,6f,66,69,6c,65,73,5c,49,45,35,30,30,2e,30,30,30,5c,\ 41,70,70,6c,69,63,61,74,69,6f,6e,20,44,61,74,61,5c,4d,69,63,72,6f,73,6f,66,\ 74,5c,49,6e,74,65,72,6e,65,74,20,45,78,70,6c,6f,72,65,72,5c,51,75,69,63,6b,\ 20,4c,61,75,6e,63,68,00,00,10,00,00,00,05,00,00,a0,1a,00,00,00,a3,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,cc,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,4a,\ 00,00,00,01,00,00,00,40,00,32,00,e6,01,00,00,c4,24,15,9f,20,00,4c,61,75,6e,\ 63,68,20,49,6e,74,65,72,6e,65,74,20,45,78,70,6c,6f,72,65,72,20,42,72,6f,77,\ 73,65,72,2e,6c,6e,6b,00,4c,41,55,4e,43,48,7e,32,2e,4c,4e,4b,00,00,00,40,00,\ 00,00,02,00,00,00,36,00,32,00,48,02,00,00,c4,24,15,9f,20,00,4c,61,75,6e,63,\ 68,20,4f,75,74,6c,6f,6f,6b,20,45,78,70,72,65,73,73,2e,6c,6e,6b,00,4c,41,55,\ 4e,43,48,7e,31,2e,4c,4e,4b,00,00,00,36,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,2c,00,32,00,51,\ 00,00,00,ec,22,46,39,20,00,53,68,6f,77,20,44,65,73,6b,74,6f,70,2e,73,63,66,\ 00,53,48,4f,57,44,45,7e,31,2e,53,43,46,00,00,00,52,00,00,00,e0,00,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,16,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,16,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,\ 00,00,01,00,00,00,aa,4f,28,68,48,6a,d0,11,8c,78,00,c0,4f,d9,18,b4,37,02,00,\ 00,e0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,16,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,16,00,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00

OK, I installed a commercial version of Nero and after a little surfing and lots of trial and error, I can now easily make a bootable WINPE disk. Steps I used 1. Open Nero- Burning Rom 2. Select DVD-ROM (Boot) 3. Under boot Select Image fie and point to etfsboot.com 4. Enable Expert Settings 5. Set Kind of Emulation to No Emulation 6. Set Load segment of sectors to 0000 7. Set Number of loaded sectors to 4 8. Click New 9. Add your WinPE environment (all the directories) and anything else you want to add 10. Burn the CD Some of the content was taken from http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=297 Difference is that I used the Microsoft boot image rather than the one he provides... Roger EDIT: Still having problems with a 4GB limit on the bootable CD where the disk should be able to host 4.7GB

I already tried that, problem is that with an image that is close to 4.5GB the system will not boot...I figured if I were to save that winpe session at the front of the CD and then add the images afterward I would be ok. R

I tried that and it didnt work...

OK i figured it out... I added RunOnce to HKCU and the behavior was the same as the HKLM RunOnce. R

With the HKLM\runonce, only the first user gets the command And were trying not to use a tag file for execution...

I need to execute a command the first time a user logs on a computer, but the problem using a Runonce command is that then next unique user to login to the system will not get the command. I have considered adding a command to the ntuser.dat Anybody have any sugestions? R

What I would like to do is create my WinPE on a DVD but not close off the cd so that I can come back later and add 4x1GB ghost images. I have tried to add the images and close the CD, but I get an error where the CD won't boot. Anybody know how to do this? or have any ideas? Roger

I have had problems getting a monitor to install by default and not found any solution... R

Winpe is only a shell, and not a desktop. When you get a bitmap to display, It is only in the background. If you can get the standard windows shell to work, you can use icons. Others have caused things to appear but they are using XML code...I refer to NU2Menu.exe Roger

Please provide more information... are you asking for a restart command for a computer where a user is logged on? R
