[SAV 9 CE Needs patch to work with WXP SP2]

G'day all,

In case you don't know, Symantec Antivirus (SAV) 9.x Corporate Edition (CE) requires a patch to work correctly with Windows XP SP2. I am presently looking into how to slipstream the update into the application for installation.

Update available here SAVCE_9.0.0.1400_AllWin_EN.zip (3,142,735 bytes)

If anyway knows how to do this, please let me know to save some time

[Sizing Quick Launch bar]

I don`t really have an answer to your question, but the thing i am curious about is how the hell did you get the Quick Launch Bar to start from the registry . I have been looking for a regkey to fix this but i couldn`t find one.

Please let me know how you fixed this.

Thx in advance

And you posted this in the Unattended forums why?

Also, why even do a search, there are numerous sites that have it front page that are just like MSFN.

[Registry Tweaks, Part-1]

Hi.. ...

If you please I'm looking for a way to do that from Registry:

1- Placing the volume icon in the taskbar from Registry not from the sounds and audio devices properties in the Control Panel.

2- Making the Quick Launch in the task bar to be On.

Thanks alot..............

thats exactly what i need too!

Hey pplz,

Customizing the Default User Profile  Has been updated with some additional regfiles that you can add to your default user hive 

Enjoy!

does not work for me, i used the regfile from your site.

add this via cmdlines.txt and reg file.

after boot No 2 lines. any ideas?

If you follow the instructions exactly it will work i promise you. Adding the registry file during an unattended install will not work. if you want to add your updated default user NTUSER.DAT file to an unattended install you need to copy it to the following path: \$oem$\$Docs\Default User

Enjoy!

[How to set 2 Line Taskbar , Have had no success!]

Hi all, this is my first post here, so be gentle 

Here are some reg-values concerning this topic wich I haven't found yet in this GREAT  forum.  Remember : these settings take effect after a reboot.

Windows Start Menu options are controlled by the following Registry locations :

Windows 2000 and XP use the 9th binary value and Windows NT uses the 53 binary value as shown in the table below.

Windows 2000 and XP

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2

Windows NT 4.0

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects

Windows 9x

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects

SINGLE OPTIONS:

08 = No Settings Enabled

09 = Auto Hide

00 = Show Clock

0A = Always on Top

0C = Show small icons in Start Menu

MULTIPLE OPTIONS:

01 = Auto Hide and Show Clock

02 = Always on Top and Show Clock

03 = Always on Top and Auto Hide and Show Clock

04 = Show small icons in Start Menu and Show Clock

0E = Always on Top and Show small icons in Start Menu

0F = Always on Top and Auto Hide and Show small icons in Start Menu

06 = Always on Top and Show small icons in Start Menu and Show Clock

07 = All Options Enabled

0B = Always on Top and Auto Hide

0D = Auto Hide and Show small icons in Start Menu

After modifying the NTUSER.DAT, do you place yours in $OEM$\$DOCS\Default User ?

Exactly

[How to set 2 Line Taskbar , Have had no success!]

You might want to try setting it and then rebooting. Then export that Key. Settings like that usually get written to the registry when windows is logging off.

I'd try importing it to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] from cmdlines.txt, before first logon. That may or may not work.

I had a similar problem with Icon arrangements. I couldn't get that tweak to work at all. It didn't work importing from RunOnceEx. It didn't work importing from cmdlines.txt either. I think setup may overwrite some of the desktop settings during the Saving Settings phase which happens at T9 - T2. Can't be sure though.

I had to set up a RunOnce entry (not RunOnceEx) in HKLM which would import my settings during the second logon. Just would not work during first logon.

Bingo! that was it Jim! after i shutdown and logged in again exported the values and added them to the default user NTUSER.DAT file it worked a treat!

Here are the settings for anyone that is interested: (you will notice the key being a little different - HKEY_USERS\custom This is the setting i used to add it to the Hive in NTUSER.DAT - for more information about this see Customizing the Default User Profile

It took forever to find this key when I was hunting for it.  I'm glad I can help someone else out with it.

BTW, you might just want to export your version of this key--the two might be different.

Actually, now that I think about it..the taskbarwinxp tweak should be the one to get a two row-ed taskbar.  This one puts it at the top of the screen...Silly me.

Hi there,

This regtweak does in fact put the taskbar at the top of the page, however after testing it only provides a single line - not 2 lines. I tried setting my taskbar to 2 lines and exporting the key and then applying it to the default use hive, but that doesen't produce 2 lines either.

Any other ideas would be very helpful

Thanks John - yeah i know how to unlock the taskbar etc... just want to change the number of lines

Thanks for your input - very welcome.

[Add an shortcut to Quicklanch in unatt-xp setup]

Ok i have done some testing and found that the way i have done it and suggested you do it only applies when you add these settings to the registry during an unattended install and before the user logs on. So the solution is to add these setting to the default user NTUSER.DAT file.

I am writing a guide at the moment to show you how to do all this safely... check back in the next hour or 2 for a link to the guide.

Hi ppl,

This may be stupid question and i applogise in advance if it is - but here goes.

I have created and also downloaded some new boot ntkernals and have added them to the system i am using using the boot.ini method. On the system i am using it works perfectly, however on a custom image i am working on it is breaking the system.

Now i know it is the new kernal as if i change it back to the default it works fine, but as soon as i add the /kernal=mykrnl.exe it breaks.

I tried Felix' registry-script, but it won't work  - there's still no quick launch bar.

What do I do wrong?

Hope you can help me,
