Hi Tihiy, I've sent you a pm some time ago. If you aren't too busy, can you please respond?

I have a simple batch script that copies a file to the startup folder, but it appears that I can't use shell:Common Startup as a parameter to xcopy. I have tried this xcopy hurrdurr.exe "shell:Common Startup" and many other variations, and they don't work. As an aside, if this did work, "hurrdurr.exe" would run on every startup right, assuming I got clearance via uac to do the xcopy operation? The os in question is Windows XP and proceeding. I know that people recommend against putting executables directly into the startup folder, but I'm just curious why this doesn't work. Thanks!

Would removing those features after /clean-image still work?

Using dism to remove the packages and features, even with the tweak, have barely reduced the wim. I'm waiting for winreducer to be released.

care to share the scripts?

Yeah, I know it has something to do with the unattended user setup, but the order is quite important. Does anyone know?

Hello again, I was once again reading through my old files. What do the true and false values correspond to? Administrator|||True|Administrators||True|False|True Guest|||False|Guests||True|False|False Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Hi, I was going through a customized copy of Windows XP I created several years ago, and I looked inside one of the batch files. I noticed it had some code I don't remember writing for /f "tokens=3" %%i IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" ^| findstr "REG_SZ"') do set SOURCE=%%iis that code a result of using the source variable? If not, what does it do?

Is it possible to remove notepad? I see that it's not an option with nlite, but is there a batch script that will remove the executables and the keys in the registry? Also, I'm wondering if sc delete Themes will be enough to delete the service, because I see that's not an option either.

I tried changing it, but then I got errors. So I reverted.

nvm, fixed by moving all x64 components to the settings pass of the other x86 sections. <?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="x86" 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> <UserLocale>en-CA</UserLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <ImageInstall> <OSImage> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </OSImage> </ImageInstall> <UserData> <ProductKey> <Key>D4F6K-QK3RD-TMVMJ-BBMRX-3MBMV</Key> </ProductKey> <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula> </UserData> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> <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"> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>1</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <OOBE> <NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation> <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage> <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC> <HideWirelessSetupInOOBE>true</HideWirelessSetupInOOBE> <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE> <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE> </OOBE> <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone> </component> </settings> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" 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>Nano-pc</ComputerName> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> <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>Nano-pc</ComputerName> </component> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Security-Licensing-SLC-UX" 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"> <SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation> </component> </settings> </unattend>

In x64, after installation, it asks me to make a user and prompts me for security, followed by leading me to the welcome screen with administrator and the user I just created. How can I recreate the experience of x86 in x64?

edit: nvm

Yes why wouldnt it?. 1.7.0 and 2.6.0 fully support SP1. but the software. came out before the sp1 pre integrated isos came out.

I didn't bother reading this thread because all I saw was "when will bensam release v3.0? Has he abandoned this project, etc." It's hard to find actual answers without digging multiple pages, so I just stopped. Now that I read through 10 pages or so, I can't find any clear answers.

He probably got tired because of people pestering him everyday. I haven't read this thread for months. Does removing components from a clean windows 7 with sp1 pre integrated from msdn work?

Great! I tried doing it with just xp and partedmagic, and it worked fine before. Was just wondering if throwing in 7 (x64) to the mix would change anything. I read in the front and it said in another partition, so I got a little confused. Thanks!

With this software, would I only need one partition to put on PartedMagic, xp installer and 7 (x64) installer? How would I format/put the right mbr on?

would http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0aee2b4b-494b-4adc-b174-33bc62f02c5d be needed for modifying sp1 images?

Hi, the current site is down, so I'll post a link. http://files.brothersoft.com/desktop_utilities/miscellaneous/LiteShellsetup.exe It would be nice if I knew how to delete explorer.exe, and replace it with liteshell (above link) and 7-zip. thanks!

Hey Bensam, is it possible to prevent the 100mb hidden partition that windows 7 makes from being created?

I did. Not planning on removing it because difference is neglible. I just don't know what it does.
