1. When you check to see if the account is created has the "useraccounts.cmd" created the account for you? 2. It appears that there is a missing double quote here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="user1" "DefaultPassword"="123" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" << This may effect your code Check these things and let us know and we can maybe add some more suggestions Take care.

yes the RunOnceEx method replaces the Start.cmd implementation.

Have you tried sysprep?

Set your quick launch bar the way you want it and then export the following registry key - this will provide you with the settings to use to customise your settings. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop] Enjoy!

yes this is true. Set your quick launch bar the way you want it and then export the following registry key - this will provide you with the settings to use to customise your settings. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop] Copy the shortcuts you want to have in your quick launch bar to $oem$\docs$\default user\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\ Note: Make sure you log out of windows and then back in after adjusting your QL bar. This ensures your settings get written to the registry. Enjoy

have a look at the link below

You can change a number of them by using reshack and opening explorer.exe

Thanks all! very much appreciated!

Hi all, I wonder if someone can tell me where i might find the wallpaper used in this image? Thanks! Felix

Great idea! I 2nd the idea! For supported DLL"s only though

G'day jcarle, Well MS has not removed the palette - they have simply moved it. but a simple and user friendly tool to edit the boot resources would be very handy indeed. One that i have looked at called Boot Editor is very clunky (this think persaonally) and not very user friendly - plus it seems that development has come to a stand still and there i no support for SP2 kernels. I have been testing with SP2 in the past couple of days. Felix

Hi jcarle, Well thanks for another great and helpful utility. I have just had a look at it and it works well at this early stage in it's development. Some suggestions: - Maybe a drop-down with the commonly used dll's etc. this would probably mean using and %windir% variable somewhere in the code. - a MRU style memory that will remember the last dll that was opened or open the last by default. - possibly the ability to either screen capture or extract the bmp from the resource dll? On another note - a very valuabled tool would be a simply tool to XPReview that would allow viewing of the ntoskrnl.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe resources, or better still an editor for these files. The current tools around the place are not SP2 friendly and there has been some changes to these 2 files by MS including the removal of the color palette from what i can see at this stage. Just my phonecard's worth of input - hope you find it useful Felix

@Cee-Kay Any further luck on slip streaming of LU 2.5 into the SAVCE 9.x install? Felix

An easy way to compress and create your *.??_ files is simply use this great little tool... Compression Bin

@r3p1v I would strongly recormend that you have a look at this first before doing anymore... Transforming from Command Line Batches to RunOnceEx This would seem to answer what you are wanting to do... And if you find this is the answer you can simplify it even further by using RunOnceEx.cmd Creator tool. Felix

I actually copy a short cut to explorer and tailer it is suite my needs and then i place it in my $oem$\$Docs\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch folder - then all users when they first log on have access to this shortcut... My command line i use in the shortcut is as follows: %windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /n, /e, ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} Just for your reference Explorer [/n] [/e] [(,)/root,<object>] [/select,<object>] /n Opens a new single-pane window for the default selection. This is usually the root of the drive Windows is installed on. If the window is already open, a duplicate opens. /e Opens Windows Explorer in its default view. /root,<object> Opens a window view of the specified object. /select,<object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file or application selected. Examples: Example 1: Explorer /select,C:\TestDir\TestApp.exe Opens a window view with TestApp selected. Example 2: Explorer /e,/root,C:\TestDir\TestApp.exe This opens Explorer with C: expanded and TestApp selected. Example 3: Explorer /root,\\TestSvr\TestShare Opens a window view of the specified share. Example 4: Explorer /root,\\TestSvr\TestShare,select,TestApp.exe Opens a window view of the specified share with TestApp selected.

I am having the same problem... Felix

Booster, let me suggestion you have a look at my guide - link at bottom of page.... try that as a possible solution first and if you are still having issues - get back to me, however i beleive that this solution should solve you problem Felix

Hey Booster, I am using the same - SP2, however my default size is 20.... i changed it to 25 to have a look and i have never seen that size as a standard.... ok at what point are you applying the reg tweak to your default user.. and are you adding it to the NTUSER.DAT file? Felix

Booster, what does this tweak do exactly or a screen shot of the result would be helpful and then i will test on my test bench and see if i can help. Felix

G'day pplz I have had alot of emails about how to Customize the Default User Profile (NTUSER.DAT) hive. So i have written a guide to show you how to do this easily and then go on to provide some preconfigured reg files and NTUSER.DAT files you can download. Finally there is also a section that tells you how to automate this process during unattended installs. You will find the link to the guide below - hope you find the information useful.

Hey as-sassin , Did you got to my guide page? there is more details on how to add these options to the default user hive. Check that out as i have just double checked everything contained there and it worked like a treat. Have fun..

Thats ok - the other system is in a state of decay and will be replaced soon so i am pleased it runs on my other brand new machine

Your welcome and you have a credit on the page for the info too What sizing are you trying for 2 line? i will do some testings and get back to you... when i did the tests during writing the guide they all worked but i will double check for you no worries. stay tuned
