Date 01/01/2004 The dos command above will change the date to jan 1, 2004.

Example below maybe suitable? If %username% = 'A' then goto NameA If %username% = 'B' then goto NameB If %username% = 'C' then goto NameC If %username% = 'D' then goto End :NameA setup.exe exit :NameB setup.exe exit :NameC setup.exe exit :End exit

If you reboot before prematurely before first logon, then you do not get your theme. No matter what theme you pick or not. I experienced this and you may have experienced it also?

I find it hard to trust any binary tweak. For instance, if you check this tweak in your own registry, you will find userprofile data included. So each user would have to extract their own tweak from this key.

I also have a quick question? Why not name your post to display your query? The distribution folder $oem$, you can created the folders neccessary for what you want. You do not have to create any more.

You could make a make a cmdfile just like in unattended guide. Then use cmd2exe. A link for cmd2exe is somewhere in the forums. This may work.

If you want to delete all shortcuts from the desktop Del %AllUsersProfile%\Desktop\*.* Del %UserProfile%\Desktop\*.* With the winnt.sif. Just ensure you use "" around strings with spaces. My Computer etc. on the desktop. Look in the Registry Tweaks thread pinned. If WFP complains that a file is not the way it should be? then 1 of your programs is perhaps overwriting 1 of your system files? This should be corrected? Hope this helps you some.

Application Data ³ Rainlendar Local Settings ³ Application Data ³ Microsoft ³ HelpCtr Start Menu ³ Programs ³ Accessories ³ CD Creators ³ Compilers ³ General ³ Internet ³ My Games ³ Office ³ Players ³ Speech ³ Startup ³ Video Editors Templates These are the folders that I have in $oem$\$Docs\Default User. Everything gets copied over. Perhaps $oem$\$Docs\Default User is spelled differently in german?

"FileSystem = ConvertNTFS" ;is for converting a drive to NTFS. "Repartition"= Yes ;formats the first drive. If you format the first drive, would you convert it to ntfs, when it should already be NTFS? Windows will pick a signed driver before a unsigned driver. Using "DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore" allows unsigned drivers to be used during setup.

Unless your version of windows does not like "%WINDIR%\system32\oemlogo.exe", then it should work. "%WINDIR%\system32" is not in the original key, that is why I mentioned the change above. Else you have an error somewhere else. Check your cmds again for any errors.

Try this with your custom oemlogo.exe Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; oemlogo.exe - logonui.reg [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "UIHost"=hex(2):6f,00,65,00,6d,00,6c,00,6f,00,67,00,6f,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,\ 00,00,00The standard value here is logonui.exe . You would have %windir%\system32\oemlogo.exe ? This will enter oemlogo.exe . Not sure if it will make a difference.

No [shell] entry for the above solution? Does this has a runonceex or guirunonce? If so, when is it rebooting after these processes?

This second reboot. Is this the reboot in your cleanup.cmd?

Check the pinned topics in this forum. "Regtweaks Tweaks". In the first post, you can download a huge list of tweaks, that have been compiled.

I am unsure with your wmp10 switches? :A is new to me. Does not seem to work for me. I just tried in VPC WMP10.exe /Q /T:%systemdrive\install\tempThis only show the extraction window and silently installs. The /T: switch sets the temporary directory. Worth testing?

REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\nerochs\kaye.exe Should be REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\nerochs\kaye.exe" /fjust missing " /f from the end of the line. Please edit out nero serial. Could be good to also show your cleanup.cmd, with the code button, to close the cleanup.cmd

Creating an empty folder called $Docs will do nothing. This special folders have the purpose for setup to copy over the items that you put in them. You will need to make a batch file to delete these irritating My Pictures\Examples.

If you can locate it, I believe connectix v5.1 or lower used to be compatiable with running under xp home.

I put selected files into $OEM$\$$\System32 bgswitch.exe, bgswitch.dll - for background switcher mag.dll - for taskbar magnifier msvdm.dll - for virtual desktop phototoys.dll - for image resizer Tweakui - for tweaking no installing. just use regsvr32.exe to register each .dll file. It's an alternative idea. Oh, tweak for Tweakui in control panel. ; Add TweakUI to Control Panel ; ============================ [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}] @="Tweak UI" "InfoTip"="Tweak your system" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\DefaultIcon] @="%SystemRoot%\\\\System32\\\\tweakui.exe,0" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell\Open\Command] @="tweakui.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}] @="Add Tweakui to Control Panel" Hope this helps you.

No double posts thanks. Application switches forum should be enough. Please direct any help to Application Switches forum.

Without being clear of what exactly you want? [Unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended This enables a full unattended setup of windows. So long as all required answers have been filled in by Setup Manager. Setting up partitions is normal. When the prompt come up, I click Setup XP on this partition and walk away. Look at repartition, if you want to boot, format the first drive and setup xp with no prompts at all.

Or your temp dir is an environmental variable. Such as: Del /Q /F /S %Temp%\*.* As others have stated, files may be in use, that may cause prompts. For unattended, if tested, and no prompts, then it should be good to burn.

@Powerhouse This method is the similar as in the unattended guide, but for adding a variable and an inputbox. I use Autoit to achieve this. As for passwords, I have seen too many posts with people not being able to logon with a password, so I left this option out. You will be Admin and will autologon. $user is the variable used. Script is below to show these queries. Dim $user $key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" Sleep(2000) ; Username asked for here. $user = InputBox('Username', 'Enter logon name', '', '', 120, 50) ; $user variable holds the info given and inserts below. RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c net user ' & $user & ' /add', '', @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c net localgroup Administrators ' & $user & ' /add', '', @SW_HIDE) RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited', '', @SW_HIDE) RegWrite($key, "DefaultUsername", "Reg_SZ", $user) RegWrite($key, "DefaultPassword", "Reg_SZ", "") RegWrite($key, "AutoAdminLogon", "Reg_SZ", "1")

A script for Free Download Mgr for example. $title is a variable. Opt(W...) forces windows to show every 2 seconds. Blockinput stops the keyboard & mouse messing things up. Run starts execution of Free Download Mgr. Winwait waits for a particular window title with certain text, in it to appear. ControlClick directly presses the controls (buttons etc). Sleep make the script sleep. The install completes. A splash pops up to show a cleanup is in progress. FileDelete removes a shortcut. Splash finishes along with keyboard & mouse control is restored. Dim $title = "Setup - Free Download Manager" Sleep(2000) Opt("WinWaitDelay", 2000) BlockInput(1) Run(@ScriptDir & "\Free_DM_v1.0.exe") WinWait($title, "This will install Free Download Manager") ControlClick($title, "This will install Free Download Manager", "TButton1") WinWait($title, "Please read the following important information") ControlClick($title, "Please read the following important information", "TRadioButton1") Sleep(1000) ControlClick($title, "Please read the following important information", "TButton2") WinWait($title, "Setup will install Free Download Manager") ControlClick($title, "Setup will install Free Download Manager", "TButton3") WinWait($title, "Setup will create the program's shortcuts") Sleep(1000) ControlFocus($title, "Setup will create the program's shortcuts", "TEdit1") ControlSend($title, "Setup will create the program's shortcuts", "TEdit1", "Internet\Download Manager", 1) Sleep(2000) ControlClick($title, "Setup will create the program's shortcuts", "TButton4") WinWait($title, "Select the additional tasks you would like Setup") Sleep(1000) Send("{SPACE}{TAB 2}{SPACE}") Sleep(1000) ControlClick($title, "Select the additional tasks you would like Setup", "TButton4") WinWait($title, "Setup is now ready to begin installing") ControlClick($title, "Setup is now ready to begin installing", "TButton4") WinWait($title, "Setup has finished installing") Sleep(1000) Send("{SPACE}") Sleep(1000) ControlClick($title, "Setup has finished installing", "TButton4") ; -- Cleanup -- Sleep(1000) SplashTextOn("", "Cleaning up", 130, 25, -1, -1, 1, "", 14) Sleep(2000) FileDelete(@ProgramsCommonDir & "\Internet\Download Manager\Free Download Manager on the Web.lnk") BlockInput(0) SplashOff() Sleep(2000)

If this window pops up during the silent install. You could use Autoit to run the execution, then have it wait for this window title to appear. Then use Autoit to controlsend the serial to the input fields. That's if you like learning Autoit alittle, for a mere several lines of code to do this.
