Ok , its clear now one more question - i need to change folders names don't i ?? cuz if i'll leave them like $OEM$ , $1 , $$ etc .. they will copy in their names and won't convert their names .. e.g - if i use copy command on the folder $$ - it will copy it in its name and won't copy as \WINDOWS folder like it should be using winnt.sif .. you understand what i'm trying to say ?? (sorry 4 my bad english ) and if you do ( i hope so ) , so do i need to change the folders names ?? Thanks

Ok , now i've seen it but i don't want to use a reg tweak so it will work . i have to format today , so i think for today i'll make the cd with no winnt.sif at all cuz the format is urgent , but i got another question - how i make the OEM folder copy itself to HD without winnt.sif and without OEMPreinstall=Yes ?? same thing in "source.bat" file ( for copying recovery console )

I don't understand. if it skips the OOBEINFO file , how can i proccess it ? OR in other words What do you mean by saying " it will proccess it" ?

mmm after searching , i found what the problem is : i guess i can't use both of them .. anymore suggestions fellows ??

@Tsunami , i don't know how to generate batchfile that will do the work and i don't know a thing VBScripts. @prathapml , i've now finished the ISO test with the oobeinfo.ini , and still - in the welcome screen i see the Administrator account and not the account "Adiel" .. i made the oobeinfo.ini in the exact way like you told me ..

i'm gonna try the first step with oobeinfo.ini file , and i hope after that i'll understand it more ..

Well , if that's the only way to do it . Thanks anyway

but i don't get it .. if i'll speciefy the username on the oobeinfo.ini , then i won't be able to change it beacause is already will be set in this file , and i won't be able to change user (cuz the user already set in this file) .. and no , i don't know cmd scripting :| **** , i think i'll just give up the whole unattended thing , and make my cd with no winnt.sif .. so complicated , so many problems ..

Hi , I need to Export one single value located in some folder through the registry , bu i can only export the whole folder of the value , and not the value itself , alone . I was wondering if there's anyway to backup / export one single value in the registry?? Thanks

Sorry , but i didn't really get it . i need to create a batch file like you made , and excute him .. when?? and through what ? cmdlines? winnt.sif ?? and if its excuted , i can specify in window that will popup (i think that what's gonna happen after the excution right?) the desired username ?? Sorry for the so many questions and thanks for the help .

Ok , let me explain the whole thing more clearly : i made a user controlled winnt.sif - which means i can view the settings i've created and change them . so in the installation , when i'm getting to the user part of the the winnt.sif i'm changing it from user to "Adiel" so far so good ? i named the accound adiel . then i set the administrator password . so far so good ? after changing / adding those setting , installation begins . at the end of it , the computer reboots , and then the welcome screen appears. now its the problem - instead of seeing the account i named "Adiel" with no password, i see only the Administrator account with the password i made. i just want to see the account i named Adiel in the welcome screen . i don't want it AutoLogon !! cuz im installing the windows on my friend PC, and i want him to choose is own username (that's the reason i made user controlloed winnt.sif) .. I hope i made myself clear , i don't want autologon the user, i just want to see the user i made in the welcome screen , instead of seeing the Administrator account there. Sorry for making it so complicated, i hope you understand what i want now .

Oh , please , don't bother yourself to be more speciefic .

but i don't want it to be AutoLogon. i just want that in the Welcome Screen with the user selection , my user "Adiel" will be shown , and not just the administrator account .

no no tguy , i don't want to log as administrator , i want to login with the user i've Creater ("Adiel") .. that's my problem .. this is more clear now?

...

Well thank you , didn't notice anyone knows something about the other problem with user log in?

Why should he?? i did searched the forum for this problem , nothing came up , so there's nothing to be angry at . i've learnt my lesson already (BUMPING and searching , rofl how sad ) and i'll try this thank u

the $OEM$ folder not copying itself to the hard disk for some reason.. the only change i made since the last time i tested the disk was creating a user controlled winnt.sif ... i don't know how this change could effect.. i got some other problem when using user controlled winnt.sif - when i'm changing the user name to, say "Adiel" , after installation , i need to log in as administrator and my user "Adiel" is not shown in the welcome screen .. here's my winnt.sif : ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [Unattended] UnattendMode=ProvideDefault OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No UnattendSwitch=yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No WaitForReboot=No ProgramFilesDir="%systemdrive%\Program Files" CommonProgramFilesDir="%systemdrive%\Program Files\Common Files" FileSystem=* [GuiUnattended] EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=135 OemSkipWelcome=1 [UserData] ProductKey=***removed*** FullName="User" OrgName="Home" ComputerName=Computer [Display] BitsPerPel=32 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=85 [TapiLocation] CountryCode=972 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=12 SystemLocale=0000040d UserLocale=0000040d InputLocale=0409:00000409 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile=%windir%\Resources\Themes\Royale.Theme [GuiRunOnce] Command0=%windir%\source.bat Thanks .

Thanks

Ok Allanol , i understand now from now on i'll wait one day or two before bumping. and 10x MHz , your file worked

@Allanol - if the thread is on page 2 , i'm still not allowed to bump? @MHz - i'll try this file , thanks .

Up,

i didn't understand exactly how to create this batch file , and excute him during windows install. can u create this batch file for me, and tell me how do i execute him during install? Thanks alot , Adiel.

i mean not through the winnt.sif file . i want to be able to choose any user i'd like to in setup itself. example : if i have 3 computers at home , and i want for each one a different username , lets say john , neo and adiel . the user in winnt.sif is a parament user , that can only changed after the windows install is finished. i want to option to set my desired user in the install , like in regular windows cd (not unattended) i tried removing the lines FullName OrgName ComputerName but the setup complaining about parameters missing .. is there anyway to do it? Thanks .

lol i didn't talked about the typo thing .. i meant ,, for what do u making a cd cover? seems usless to me
