Hello, i have G:\MoviesHD and H:\MoviesHD and i would like to have both these folders viewable as one. I tried creating .library-ms for it, but it works only in explorer, unfortunately. Is there some universal alternative? Or at least one for total commander. Read only access is enough and i don't care if result would be drive or folder. I tried winmount, but it don't update content automatically. EDIT: i found DFS, but dfs server can not be set up on windows 7

Unfortunately i don't remember how it was, but you can try it. I know i run into issue that even hklm registry did not take effect somewhere in the process, but i don't know where it was

I know that i don't need it, but i tought it would be more "clean" to use it, but as i tried it with ctrl+shift+f2 and saw what it really is i now don't see a point in using it. BTW i found that thread before i asked, but i still did not understand how it works, because reseal is set to audit (i also looked on reaseal info on technet), but then in auditmode there is no boot(sysprep) to oobe.

Is there a way to get rid of "preparing your desktop" during firstlogoncommands and replace it with ie. xplode? I know i could probably just add it to runonce in registry in firstlogoncommands, but i would like to have it before taskbar etc. shows.

I'm still not clear about audit and oobe modes of installation - if i set up user in auditmode (audituser pass), will the same user and its data visible in oobemode?

So i have this part <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ComputerName></ComputerName> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>10</Order> <Path>cmd /c "FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\installation.media SETX installationMedium=%%i: -m"</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>20</Order> <Path>%installationMedium%\install_specialize.cmd</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> in my xml. Unfortunately it does not work. I have found some threads with similar issue here, but no working solution. Do you know what error i made? It don't fail with error, but no environment variable is set. Edit: fixed installationMedium %%i is correct, not installationMedium=%%i (no =)

Helo, is it possible to define automatic user cration, but at the same time have have prompt to enter machine name in oobe, or even better at setup begining? I used to have this set up in custom RIS page in XP, but now i would like this to be in setup on windows7 installation on USB stick. I tought that maybe there is way to run some autoscript in begining of winpe phase that will set this - but i'm not sure how to do it exactly This is autounattended.xml that i tought would achieve behavior i wanted in OOBE phase of setup, but obviously it did not work:) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="windowsPE"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SetupUILanguage> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> </SetupUILanguage> <InputLocale>0409:00000409 </InputLocale> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <UserLocale>en-US</UserLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>49PB6-6BJ6Y-KHGCQ-7DDY6-TF7CD</Key> <WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> <DiskConfiguration> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </DiskConfiguration> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <InstallFrom> <MetaData wcm:action="add"> <Key>/IMAGE/NAME</Key> <Value>Windows 7 Ultimate</Value> </MetaData> </InstallFrom> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <OOBE> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> </OOBE> <TimeZone>Central Europe Standard Time</TimeZone> <ShowWindowsLive>false</ShowWindowsLive> <RegisteredOwner></RegisteredOwner> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Name>userCreationTest</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> </component> </settings> <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:c:/win7unattended/source/sources/install.wim#Windows 7 ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" /> </unattend> UPDATE: interestingly now i tried it again it is working (i must made some mistake in first run), also i needed to add blank password or else user would be asked to change password on first logon. I still wonder if is it possible to put dialog to choose computer name in winPE phase - it would definitely be timesaver.

No, it is not woking just by adding administrator to localusers in autounattended.xml. I just tried it, if it does for you, then attach example xml please.

Hmm, i does not work, obviously, so i will just leave it and don't make default user settings in unattended installation.

Ok, one more thing before i try it - does this http://support.microsoft.com/?id=284193 still work in windows 7? This will be nice solution - i would just put script to runonce to HKCU_USERS and no need to attend and run scripts manually when new user log on for first time will be needed.

I tought about putting script to setupcomplete.cmd? But i'm to lazy to try it. But i guess, that since you mention only NTUSER.DAT, that somebody already tried it withouth success.

How to unattendedly apply regtweaks for default user, so that every created user preferably including default administrator will inherid HKCU registry from default user?

How can i aply HKCU regtweaks for default user?

Or you can use old trick (this is from old xp unattended guide here) put installmedia.txt on your installation medium FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\installmedia.txt SET intallmedia=%%i:then you get root of media in %intallmedia% in batch script run anytime after installation So this way you can avoid unnecessary coping intallation files to system drive

I tried windows update on my fresh windows 7 and this list matched with updates found by windows update. Nice.
