Thanks a lot. It really did solve the problem...

Hi, Is there a way to obtain that unique user id in registry HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-xxxxxxxxx after a fresh WinXP install?? That id changes every time with a fresh OS install and I need it for some explorer button settings etc. Thanks in advance...

[Personal] TimeZone = (GMT+02:00) CDKey = "XXX" ComputerName = SIMIN Organization = Language = XXX Locale = XXX Location = XXX Keyboard = XXX LanguageGroup =XXX DomainAdmin = DomainPass = Expirepassword = 0 JoinDomain = JoinWorkgroup = Owner = Simin [users] Administrator|||True|Administrators||False|True|True Guest|||False|Guests||True|False|False Simin|Simin||True|Administrators||False|True|True

I'm making a WinXP Pro 32 Bit SP3 DVD with nlite and constantly having the same problem... I create a new user auto-login account with administrator privileges but when OS is installed it says that the account is limited... Because of this I can't silent-install the stuff with RunOnce.exe... What should I do?
