To perfect my unattended install I just need to remove the 'Remote Assistance' link that Windows XP puts there by default. I have searched the forums and it seems the way for this is to use a .cmd file. My searching also tells me that the file needs to be prepared in 'Notepad' and that the default .txt is renamed to .cmd. One suggestion is to use the following in 'Notepad': erase "%AllUsersProfile%\..\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Remote Assistance.lnk" My questions are as follows: (1) Is the example given the full wording/code or do I need to add more for the full entry? (2) If the example is just one line of the entry, what else do I need for the complete command? (3) I believe the .cmd file is then saved in the $OEM$ folder or is there some other location for the file? In addition to the entry example I gave, I also found the following variations: erase "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Remote Assistance.lnk" and: erase "%UserProfile%\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Remote Assistance.lnk" or erase "%AllUsersProfile%\\..\\Default User\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Remote Assistance.lnk" (4) Which is better to use, %UserProfile% or %AllUsersProfile%? (5) Which is better to use, the single \ or the double \\ or doesn't this make any difference? (6) My first example includes \..\ which is missing in the second example. Should this be included? Finally, how would I set my cmd file to delete itself when finished? I would really appreciate any help with this. Many thanks.

Thanks for you quick reply shahed26, it's much appreciated. I've never created my own batch file before so could you give me more info on: (1) How is this done. Is it done in Notepad or some other way and do I need to include any other code for the complete batch file? (2) How would I add this batch file to nLite, is it still through the Unattended-RunOnce or is added some other way. I much appreciate your help with this.

Could someone please post what I would need to put into a .reg file to delete a shortcut (.lnk) in the Start/Programs list of Windows XP. In particular I want to remove the 'Powertoys for Windows XP' link. The reason why I want to do this using a .reg file is so that I can include this in an unattended install. I have added Tweakui with a control panel icon to my unattended install but it also adds an entry in the Start/Programs list. I'm not even sure if this can be done with a .reg file. Thanks.

I am completely new to nLite and slipstreaming and to my total amazement my first attempt at a custom XP Pro install with SP3, Firefox, Thunderbird, QMP and TweakUI with a Control Panel icon actually worked a treat. I also used nLite Add-on Maker for the first time successfully for TweakUI. I have two questions I hope someone can help me with. (1) I have tried a search on how to set my custom install to load the 'Classic Start Menu' and I know that the registry tweak is: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ClassicViewState"=dword:00000001 The problem is that I don't know how to add this in nLite. Again, I have spent hours searching trying to find how to do this and although there are several 'how-to' links, I can't really follow how it's done. I know it's done in nLite's 'Unattended'-'Run Once'. I would be really grateful if someone post simple steps on how to add this registry tweak into nLIte. (2) Although TweakUI worked on my custom install, the silent switch didn't work and I got the three setup screens (Welcome, Agreement and Install Complete). The switch I applied was /qb. Again, I would be grateful if someone knows what needs to be done here. Many thanks for a superb program.
