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.Is it safe to state all I need to do is add the quick_launch reg to my existing tweaks as I am using thr runonce method to import them.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
Also how could I automatically capture short cuts to this toolbar ? Would I have to add them first then capture the same registry key and import that ? Thanks for your quick response...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

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

how about if u right click on a dll u can have a option "Open With XPreview" ?
Great idea! I 2nd the idea! For supported DLL"s only though
0 -
All input is always appreciated. I'll be adding in-program resource editing in the future and further support for more DLLs. I wasn't aware that there was a problem with editing the SP2 kernel 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.

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

hi guys, i am trying to create a gui window as an alternative to start.cmd using visual basic, but right now i am having difficulty in translating this codes to a visual basic one... what i want to do is make an exe file, instead of just showing the command window, i want to make it look more nicer and i wanted it to ask if the user wish to install the additional programs, screensaver, etc. or not, and waits till the installation is done. i hope someone could help me convert this to a gui executable using visual basic
here is the code on my start.cmd:
CLS
@echo off
TITLE Finalizing Installation...
ECHO.
ECHO Please Wait...
COPY "%systemdrive%\Install\MAT2.scr" "%systemroot%\system32\"
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\mat2.reg
DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Administrator.bmp"
COPY "%systemdrive%\Install\Administrator.bmp" "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\"
START /wait %systemdrive%\Install\networkicon.vbs
START /wait %systemdrive%\Install\3m\setup.exe
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\3m.reg
ECHO.
ECHO Deleting Temporary Installation Files...
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install
ECHO.
ECHO Windows XP Installation Complete!
ECHO.
PAUSE
EXIT

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.

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.

Hi `Felix`
Right click on desktop, choose properties.
Select "Appearance" tab, then click on "Advanced"
In "item" box select "Active Title Bar".
Default size is 25, I want to change it to 20.
btw I'm using Windows XP SP2 but it's the same with SP1
If I apply the tweak after I'm logged in, then reboot it works nicely.
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.

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..

No problem. i'm just glad that it is working for you now (though it is on another machine)
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 0 -
B) That's an honor!
Your welcome and you have a credit on the page for the info too
I did the sizing thing the way it was told in the thread, but it just sized the administrator's quicklaunch bar, the user's stayed default-small...I did first the felix thing, than imported the sizing-regkey, shout I have done the sizing first?
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

I've looked up the version of my msdart.dll file, and it's version 2.71.9042.0 If you post your version of that file (its in %systemroot%\system32), then we can compare what and where might be wrong
The version number must be the problem as now i have installed on another system and all is well
Thanks for your help mate!

yes the RunOnceEx method replaces the Start.cmd implementation.
