-BUMP- TO MODERATORS -- Can u please move this post to switches forum sinc i don't get any answers here maybe guys there know something or are a little more concerned/ use this app.

At least if u guys don't like Autopatcher for a reason u could at least tell me if Cryptographic Services is started during cmdlines maybe thats its problem allthough when i run unattend from HDD it was the same thing.

Hmmm first of all i dunnow where it would keep a log besides a read that the /nolog makes an info that is sent to Autopatcher makers and is not meant for me to see. Second: it is very weird that it worked always except for the time i moved the unattend to cd (autopatcher remained the same on HDD) and i think its a cmdlines problem wich i can't figure out. Third: i need this fixed so bad cuz autopatcher installs 95 entries for me and i'm clicks away to check/uncheck anything it contains instead of making 95 entries in mt batch files and furthermore i can even install any application into autopatcher with flags (autopatcher works like a batch mostly) and then just click at any instal if i want that one or not and save the list.

I always used Autopatcher to install my hotfixes from HDD and it ran very smooth until i put the unattended xp+sp1 on CD. Now during cmdlines it just makes a quick someting and doesn't install the hotfixes -- but after i login it does it as usual. This is the path and commands tell me if i did something wrong cuz i can't figure it out:

Or if u just want to happen automatically just use GUIRunOnce(this one runs only after logon) -- i understand that runEx is nice(allthough i don't know how to use it) but u might want to combine u're options and not stick to just one (as u're needs are varied) -- allthough i've migrated all my stuff to cmdlines 10x to greenmachine and other ppl in this forum:) P.S.1. U can even program reboots and resume RunOnce using StartUp folder and self destroying batches or other methods posted in this forum. P.S.2. If GUIRunOnce doesn't by any chance run at the time u want then Startup folder will i think.

I got a minor problem editing notepad reg settings. They are found in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad] When i set status bar with tweaks the status bar option in notepad is grayed out wheter i set it on or off with this: "StatusBar"=dword:00000001 Any1 got an ideea why? EDITED: NM the answer is stupid , after i activate "word wrap" format the view>status bar get grayed out for some unexplicable reason.

LoL i've finished a stable unattend and the reg keys mentioned in this post DON'T EXIST anymore. The only in depth key i have is: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop with 2 entries: TaskBarWinXP(reg_binary) - long hexa... Toolbars(reg_binary) - v. short hexa... no more streams 1,2...n keys and i guess those tweaks contains junk they are not general as in for anybody(stream keys) after i enabled quick launch and rebooted just in case no new keys appeared! so i guess the settings are contained within those 2 keys above. as for status bar details view there must be something slimer and simpler than this ... i guess importing ntuser.dat is a beter way in a lack of otions what do you say?

I don't want to set any ideeas about nLite but it had soem problems for me so i'm a lil in doubt that it would work for me all of a sudden ... hmmm too bad i'm ignorant enough to not be able to edit the XP kit cuz its gotta be all in there ... an .inf maybe? something has got to direct the windows setup like the main function does in C++.

-bump- i looked some more into it and movie maker, media player and a bunch of other stuff i did tell not to install did??? This is my entry in answer file: [Components] accessopt=Off deskpaper=Off dialer=Off freecell=Off hearts=Off hypertrm=Off licenseserver=Off media_clips=Off minesweeper=Off mousepoint=Off mplay=Off msnexplr=Off mswordpad=Off netoc=Off objectpkg=Off pinball=Off solitaire=Off spider=Off zonegames=Off at least games didn't get installed -- i also disable guest and administrator while creating my own account first thing in cmdlines.txt...maybe this has soemthing o do with it?

I have the following stuff in sysinfo>conflict/sharing panel but i dunno whether these are conflicts or sharing resources... oh ... maybe this should be moved to some technical forum ... sorry

I specifically put components to NOT be installed with windows but some are anyway like accesibility software/wizard: [Components] accessopt=Off ... narator, magnify are all there... not one of them disspeared. also backup, cleanup and some other soft are there allthough they don't appear in "add/remove components" as installed windows made icon(shorcuts) for all also i tought there was an entry in the answer file like [ComputerSettings] DefaultPowerScheme=Presentation or something like that, any1 know anything about it?

As far as i'm aware XP doesn't support changing MB on same install ... it didn't work for me but i remember 98se would've accept it (hmmm ... the old good days ) I see in u're picture that u have an "Repair=R" option it lower area u saying that doesn't work? ...never tried it so far on my unattend ...and can't try it yet cuz i didn't put my unattend on CD yet

Well i don't know vbs but i know that desktop is a "device context" from the explorer.exe service so u can go to task manager and "end task" the explorer -- it will close the GUI and restart it (maybe that should work) -- if not a restart always does it. U can restart even during GUIRunOnce and u can kill almost any service using taskkill app in windows or get pskill from sysinternals.com. U might want to get a good habit of testing first then applying

in my batch the switches are at the end like this: RD "%systemdrive%\Program Files\ComPlus Applications" /S /Q u can always make a test batch a temp dir with subfolder test dirs and files and test deleting it. RMDIR is the same as RD so u try wathever u like or whatever works better?

Actually i have to be 100% percent sure that when booting from CD autorun.inf will be parsed ... although where else would setup get the info to run setup.exe i wonder. Modifying autorun.inf allows me to keep answer file on floppy and it works in autoplay perfectly -- isn't autoplay kinda boot style? -- the cd ha got to be bootaable and autorun.inf properly writen but just in case anyone who knows FOR SURE! about this please reply.

thats really strange... The actual sintax would be(but i'm sure u know allready): net user username {password} /add /active[no/yes] /passwordchg:[no/yes] /passwordreq:[no/yes] net localgroup administrators username /add After any /add comes a list of options i don't fully know. Basically this should do it unless sp2 changed the fact that u can add users to localgroups. Maybe there is a app like "net" included in sp2 especially for this(or updated for sp2 at least). U can test adding users from cmd console so what is the error message? BTW u might want to try the /DOMAIN flag If u have a window domain controler u might want to use: net group groupname username /add

...check the sintax again must be something ... i cannot test cuz i don't have sp2 ...can u add the user manually to administartors group? Then u absolutely can do it from DOS console with "net" ...dunnow but i'm having a similar problem: since i can't remove the administrator account i can disable it : net user administrator \active:no ...but i dunnow what side effects it will have cuz in repair console for example it asks for admin what will it happen then? ...and most importantly what effect will it hav eif i disable it first thing while in cmdlines.txt

HOW??? it saiz its built-in and cannot be deleted. I can disable it but wont it have side effects like what user will i use in repair console when it asks???: net user administrator /active:no and what effect will it have if i use this before anything in cmdlines.txt(will it affect the "default user"?) EDITED:about the one below:LOL i never thought of renaming administartor to guest at t-12 stage but i don't think it will work... ...I want just an account:MINE!

I exported a tweak for "disabling" MS Networking and file and printer sharing client and service respectively form "Local Area connection > properties" i dunnow if this is correct or wich should i pick so please send soem feedback or u're solutions REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network]

nope i used taskkill /f /im ypager.exe /t (it also starts an yserver) and it didn't work for me (critical error) when i replaced taskkill with pskill it just brutally slayed it (yserver too -- it must've been in tree / tested it while in windows works fine too) sysinternals software isn't as friendly as win tools i also have ntfsdos who mounts ntfs partitions allthough it doesn't write well it reads 'em, also the whole lot of "console"tools(freeware) are a blessing.

Hmmm seems that workstation as well as other two services are binded to MS Networking... Now i got Sever service that won't start ... this one's binded to File and printer sharing?

I tested what <SparTacuS> said (http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/autologon.htm) and it went O.K. but what u said Allanol is that the "Administartor" account is still out here(ready to be hacked) -- i found that the administartor is administartor stays on(built-in). I wonder why i simply can't rename it and use it??? this administrator account seems to me to be an invitation for "Guest administrators" worldwide

i have an "" character in autorun.inf (yes a box like) i guess i shouldn't delete that one -- it might be a EOF flag?

yes i want it to be my boot cd allthough i don't see yet why wont it work this way unless it doesn't parse the autorun.inf but the sp1 file or something instead ... any other ideeas beside booting with floppy and running a batch from it? Or some1 who tried and knows if it doesn't work the autorun.inf way? P.S. of course i would use winnt and not winnt32

You just need to go here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/gettingstarted.htm and download CDImage for Windows XP Professional Edition or Home Edition from the links on that page. read the readme (change path to u're path in the batch file and then u just dbl-click on batch and u're on u're way...
