Thanks!!

Hi, I have pretty much finished my unattended Vista install (that cost so much) and the things I need to do now (and don't know how) are: 1. Disable Highlighting Newly Installed Programs in start menu 2. Hide the Email in Start menu 3. Hide the quick launch bar. 4. Make FF3 the default browser I'd like to achieve that using registry tweaks. Any help will be very welcome! Thanks in advance.

Hi, How can I get rid of the IE & Recycle Bin icons on desktop using cmd? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I install my applications using the RunOnecEx method and in the end of the file (when all the apps are installed) I have some tweaks (some are reg tweaks and others are simple Del/Move/Copy commands) and for some reason they don't work. I know that the script is fine, because if I run it myself (Double click on the .cmd file) it works perfectly. How do I fix it? Edit: It just now came to me, I think that the following will work: 1. Move all my tweaks to a separate file (lets call it x.cmd). 2. Add x.cmd to the start up 3. In the end of x.cmd I add a command that will delete it. so... any suggestions/opinions? In the command reg Add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Run" /v command_0 /d "Sturtup.cmd" /f what is the marked part? what does it means? How should the counter command (reg Delete) look like? Thanks in advance. 2nd Edit: I was right, it worked.

I installed unattended XP (finally it's working) and a 1.5GB file named "pagefile.sys" appears on C:\ for some reason. What is it? Had the Virtual PC made it? The unattended maybe? Is it OK to delete it?! pagefile.sys is the systems virtual memory..

Thanks.. Now everything is working.

I solved the problem.. It seems I was right, I added more info to the Winnt.sif file and the problem was gone. Now the only question that remained from the six is: how do I add a run command to the startup?

If you mean installing apps during/after Windows setup, then it's here : MSFN guide : http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/32/ No, I meant that each time the computer is reboots or is turned on, the command will take place. See examples in: Start->Run->msconfig->Sturtup

I made this ISO with 2 stages. 1. I added lots of stuff (tweaks, applications, etc and it worked). 2. I tried to make it fully automated (and here is the problem). In my opinion, the source of the problem is in winnt.sif: [Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended; <------- Problem UnattendSwitch="Yes" OemPreinstall="Yes" OemSkipEula="Yes" FileSystem=* WaitForReboot="No" NoWaitAfterTextMode=1 NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Please note the marked line. I think I haven't supplied enough information for it to be fully automated.. I used nLite again and made it fully automatic with it and then there where no error messages. Because I Re-edited using nLite it deleted some of my modifications, so it's not a good solution, but at least I know that it's fixable without starting all over again. What do you think?

After I clicked "OK", this what I was asked to fill. What exactly do you need?. there are so much files..

2 of them solved, but about question 3 I have no idea.. Its not in the guide. I can't even count how many time I've read that guide.. And the other questions, they might be in the guide but if so, it just wasn't clear enough. Please answer my questions!

Well... then start over again that is.. I hope I'll be able to remake it.. Please help me HERE.

I posted what I am not sure about.. please, I need some help.

Someone, please answer me..

The Image was created using nLite. If I'll use nLite again, will it overwrite or add changes the previews files? Does it mean that everything I'll re-edit will be ONLY as I re-edit them? (things I will not change will stay the same?) Rephrased.

Someone?

Is the *.cmd file's text case sensitive (not including switches)? example: Is there a difference between "EXIT", "eXiT" or "exit"?

Hi, I have six questions: 1. How can I run a *.exe file from *.cmd file? 2. Can I add a *.exe run command to the startup list? 3. How can I register the name and password af the administrator during the unattended install? I get the following error: I do not mean to add a user, but to input the Admin data. I tried to install (the unattended XP) with MS Virtual PC 2007 but I got this error. 4. How do I copy a single file from within a *.cmd file? [solved] 5. Is it OK to add a comment after a command in a *.cmd in the same line? (e.g "RegEdit /S RegTweak.reg ;LOL!!!1!") [solved] 6. Is there a difference between "OEM" and "$OEM$"? Thanks in advance

So.. if starting from scratch will be my LAST resort, will it be better to uninstall (if possible at all) the unwanted softs while XP is being installed rather then searching for the files and references? Edit: I've got a new Idea.. The Image was created by nLite, so if I'll use nLite again it will edit the files. will it delete the previews changes? does it mean that everything that I'll re-edit will be ONLY as I re-edit them? (and things I will not touch will stay the same?) I think the programmer of it should know the answer for these.. Had anyone tried it?

May I ask why? Thanks, jaclaz!

May I ask why? Can I have an expended explanation on that command? 1. Why does it stats with "REG"? 2. Does it adds something to the registry? 3. What is "/V"? 4. What is "/D"? 5. What is "/f"? 6. I guess I right, but it can be: "REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\GOOD_DAY\FRY_DAY\Zuhmir_setup.cmd" /f" right? Note: I've read the guide and still has those questions.

It is no use. I have read the unattended guide 4 times by now and still not get it. Whats the difference? I want to install directly from the CD, will "Start " in the "RunOnce " do the work?

Lats say that some of my stuff were only there.. It is not impossible to get them again, but I think it will be easier to just fix this one. It seems that WinRAR works fine. About the files.. Is it enough to find a reference in one of them, them all, or is it changes for each case?

1. I don't have "LastSessions" at all.. (on CD as well) 2. I) What am I supposed to look for in the "Txtsetup.sif"? I went through all of it... II) Same for "Dosnet.inf". III) For the "sysoc.inf", I dont even have such.. there is a "sysoc.in_", but its unreadable.. 10x
