i have sygate personal firewall pro. i know the shortcut key, but i wat the user to log in automagically and then log straight bakc out again, so users can use the computer without having to worry about anything. regardig the service part. do the services get loaded when u turn the computer on and before u get to teh welcome screen or do they start when you log into windows? thanks Mental Industries

i use the attached dirvers and have no problems. use in silent install as part of winnt.sif since u got windows installed already windows key + pause break, hardware,devie manager then right click on the device and go to udate drivers. Mental Industries 004_ide133680.rar

ok people here i think is close to teh million dollar question. is anyone aware of the file or the command or anything about how fast user switch works? basically i want to set up an account that logs in starts up my firewall. the logs back out. as it seems to me at the welcome screen on a LAN there is no protection for your box. any hints or pointer where to look will be apprechiated Mental industries

ok is it just me as no one else has said anything. importing the registry from another computer is stongly discouraged of course u can import the custimisation parts. If u import hardware parts ur computer may not be bootable i understand you may already know this but for future users Mental Industries

ok this post will completely go againest what i am saying but has to be said me thinks. the problem with this type of post is everyone basically wants to add his/her 5cents/nickle what every call it. what i think should happen is: the application switchs/regedit need to become locked. basically to stop it being bloated. if someone has a great application switch make your own post. sorry ops i know this will mean lots of work. but they then use there admin powers and post int he locked database posts and delete the post made by jo bloe. this in turn keeps the posts down (less to wad though) and keeps the great info all in one easy to find place. again if u want a request and u have searched now the only 5-10 page database instead of the 50-60 page mess and what u want is there the people shoue pm them flame them and delete the post. if it is not there then let it get big with people offerig there sugestions. once an answer is made copy the final owrkign product to the application switch datadase. thus saves heaps of bandwidth usage and storage space.

i assume that it would work zippy, but again we have a few problems i don't want to backup everytime i put my cd in the drive and if i put the cd in the drive while rebooting it won't run. this needs to be fail proof. it needs to be run during the windows setup/install before the format. thanks Mental Industries

i am also using a dvd+rw but i have no problems with office setup. 1: have you followed the tutorial http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003_advanced.htm 2. are u using the correct command start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\Office2003\setup.exe TRANSFORMS=Unattended.MST /qb- note /qn- will not work you have to watch the progress bar.

And here is my code for Intellimouse v5.0 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") WScript.Sleep 3000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{n}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{n}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{=}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{w}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{w}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{w}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{w}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{-}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 30000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{-}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" again i live in New Zealand so change teh two "n" to where u live and i make a wheelmouse optical so again change the four "w" so it highlights what u have. run it for ur self once taking note on those to pages of your keystrokes. but like with my keyboard scipt can't get it to run from the command prompt. But they do both work when run in windows!!! Thanks Mental Industries

ok not sure if this is kinda out of place cause its a working script. but i cant get it to run. script for Intellitype v5.0 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell") WScript.Sleep 3000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{n}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{n}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{=}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WshShell.SendKeys "{M}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{-}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 20000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{-}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" WScript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" (this makes country as new zealand and selects multimedia keyboard) i suggest u run it once and change those two so it installs for ur contry and keyboard. but my real problem is i can't get it to run from my auto_install.cmd ECHO. ECHO Installing Intellitype ECHO Please wait... "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Intellitype\ITP5_0Eng\keyboard.vbs" start /wait "%systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Intellitype\ITP5_0Eng\setup.exe" there is the code. is my problem the start /wait or can u not run *.vbs from command prompt. thanks Mental Industries

i thank everyone for your answers but id like -gosh i don't think your way will work in dos due to ntfs .. i migth be wrong -zippy don't think thats waht im after -/\/\o\/\/ i think this way will work, but i don't understand how i can do this i have my dvd-rw with my unattened xp (as made using guides on this site) i restart windows and press button to boot of cd..... this is where i think i need to do what your saying but i don't know how to get/add in the commands to get it to work. as in how do i make xp setup run wat i want it to run before it starts to install windows? Mental industries p.s anyone know who i tell to get them to add an s to teh end of my user name?

/\/\o\/\/ : could you please explain a little more detailed by what you mean (im guessing this could become rather handy for many people) Thanks again Mental Industries

/\/\o\/\/ i appreciate your response but knda takes the unattenedness away. Tribble pretty much on the money.

dam, would make life so much easier. i using a dvd+rw so if i make a new folder could have added it so easy

OK so heres the deal i got a .cmd file @echo off Title Backup current files before you format ECHO I am about to Backup your files before you format. mkdir "D:\backup\" mkdir "D:\backup\My Documents\" mkdir "D:\backup\Favorites\" mkdir "D:\backup\Desktop\" mkdir "D:\backup\wallpapers\" mkdir "D:\backup\bcdc++\" mkdir "D:\backup\samurize\" xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\*.*" "D:\backup\My Documents\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites\*.*" "D:\backup\Favorites\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\*.*" "D:\backup\Desktop\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\wallpapers\*.*" "D:\backup\wallpapers\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Program Files\bcdc++\Queue.xml" "D:\backup\bcdc++\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Program Files\bcdc++\Favorites.xml" "D:\backup\bcdc++\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Program Files\Samurize\Configs\Mentals.ini" "D:\backup\bcdc++\" /s /c /h /r /y xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu""D:\backup\" /s /c /h /r /y basically i want to add this somewhere into my unattended install so i don't have to remember to back up those important files. but obviously has to be at some point before the hard drive is formated. i know how to get it to restore after i have installed windows. Thanks Mental Industries
