wow, i should really pay attention to which section the thread is posted under B)

runas administrator CACLS %path to folder containing settings that will change% /E /T /C /G "power users":F" EDIT: (sorry left my runonce info in there which would be no help) then run it normally as the power user then remove permissions i suppose. I believe your problem is power users not being able to modify system wide permission. But if the changes were system wide they would have appeared when ran as admin, no?

The ROK appears to be just a convenience (seems moreso for HP than the reseller) I know all the Government Licenses (U.S.) we use for business are VLKs. Dont know how ya'll operate but if they are eligible for the BigGuns VLK, then paying for any of the ROK or even seperate CALs is a waste. fyi - We have seperate volume keys for Standard and Enterprise (i think SBS would be a seperate key as well)

It is certainly odd for it to work once burnt. Does it work loading from the CD in vmware? have you tried Sun's virtualbox or M$'s Virtual PC or any other virtual environment, maybe vmware is the cause?

what happens if you copy the i386 folder off the disc and immediately attempt to manually integrate sp3? what hotfixes are you slipstreaming prior to having success with the service pack? you should only have the kbs that have come out after sp3, and you should really be slipping those after sp3 is present. You can always remove the referenced files from dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif files to complete the load without error, whether or not you actually needed that file......

no alt+F4 action? suppose you could write a batch, but its essentially the same as the task manager route. taskkill /IM imagex.exe

For most its a chance to pretend you actually follow the processes some tech writer threw together in a binder many years ago. good times.

it should be inside the i386 folder

its $oem$\$1 not as you typed

true, I totally meant visible not created - and mine was visible until I added a password. and then.. http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c...wertoySetup.exe administrator only being able to logon locally in safe mode is more a safety net, XP home should always=xp home w/ powertoys. There are manual ways, but tweakui does it simply. Totally should have recommended that earlier.

also is the switch perhaps a managed switch? both devices have potential for success, specific models would help your cause.

if thats the only modification whats wrong with good old "KB######.exe /integrate. Even if it fails at least you get a descript error to google. Nlite is fantastic, but you're using a hammer to drive a thumb screw, imho.

in xphome the administrator account is only created when there is not another user with administrator rights. Even if Marvin was the alias of the default administrator, the documents and settings folder would still say 'administrator' You can check to see if the default administrator is aliased (or alias it to yourself at) HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon DefaultUserName AltDefaultUserName I think if the new user is going to be an administrator you have no need to worry about owning SID. nothing a little CACLS cant fix.

Build your new user (making it an admin will make this easier) log out, log in with that user goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\yourNEWsid in profileimagepath change the path from: %systemdrive%\documents and settings\YOURNAME --> %systemdrive%\documents and settings\marvin its not the prettiest solution but now his profile contents are tied to your login. I hope it works, my stuff was all default and it appeared to. I believe the logon names are in the protected portion, you would have to get another tool to browse those. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****Just made 4 profiles and they all share the same docsandsettings including a shared desktop. I know it was not the OPs question but still a convenient find while playing.****

skype kind of requires an internet connection

I know anonymous is a reliable source and all but its not quite in the same location as the drive region setting. With all info provided I still lean towards a time code for some demoware, or malware. Initial Region Selection in Windows 98 In Windows 98, the following registry key should be created and set to the desired default DVD region for the system: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion \DefaultDVDRegion (binary) http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/dvdregion.mspx

yer not even trying now http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/31/ you would need to add SET REGKEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx to the top of the runonce.cmd if you were using my exact syntax.

in the runonce.cmd or just the command portion from the cmdlines.cmd would also work?

Since you didnt give a format here is an example of success with .torrent, though there are plenty of other formats that reassemble pieces nicely. Programs like Azureus support multiple connections for .torrent files as referenced (many torrent clients do not). Though it was done with virtual adapters I think the concept is still the same. http://kakku.wordpress.com/2007/11/03/comb...ltiple-uplinks/

you as in, you manually deleting the items you are no longer using.you are just creating an answer file during the admin portion. If you are not calling some components during install, try deleting those folders, then burn the remaining items. Some items are linked (i had issues with pieces of word and excel) and will throw errors but maybe through trial and error you will learn something you can offer.

REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /VE /D "installing dot net family update" /f REG ADD %REGKEY%\001 /v 1 /D "%path%\kb951847.exe /quiet /norestart" /f .net 3.5 full install supports /q /norestart as well, dont know about the kb.

after you eliminate the component from install you should be able to delete the corresponding folder/s (without erroring during install), thus reducing the size. Most of the components are nicely seperated.

setup.exe /admin under the 'set feature installation states' -see attached .gif

open paint, paint the whole canvas the color you want. Save it in the same format (and name) as the default image. replace the 'default image' with your new solid color background and let windows install your background by default instead?
