Hey folks, I just discovered this site about a week ago and I have been working on creating an unattended XP-SP2 cd and I keep running into problems with my regtweaks.reg file. I've read much of the 84-page "registry tweaks" threadm done searches, and followed the instructions provided on unattended.msfn.org. But I cannot make about half of my registry tweaks take. I have tried applying the .reg file through the runonce and cmdlines.txt but to no avail. Here is my code: cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "useraccounts.cmd" "REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg" the lines of RegTweks.reg that won't take: ;-----------------------------------------Desktop Appearance Tweaks-------------------------------------- ;Sets Custom Wallpaper [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\StephandOwenBackground2.JPG" "Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\StephandOwenBackground2.JPG" ;Sets desktop background to black [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Control Panel\Appearance] "CustomColors"=hex:00 00 00 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF 00 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Control Panel\Colors] "Background"=hex:0 0 0 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "WallpaperFileTime"=hex:8E AC CF 39 7F 85 C4 01 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "WallpaperLocalFileTime"=hex:8E 0C BE B2 5D 85 C4 01 [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General] "WallpaperStyle"="0" ;Maps "My Documents" to "D:\My Documents" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\My Documents" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Personal"="D:\My Documents" ;Maps "Favorites" to "D:\Favorites" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Favorites"="D:\Favorites" [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1004336348-436374069-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] ;-----------------------------------------UI Tweaks-------------------------------------- ;Disable links folder in explorer favorites so it never appears again.

Interestingly, I am able to start with quicklaunch bar and start with unlocked taskbar. But I cannot set folder view (like showsuperhidden and no webview) and I cannot set the desktop settings. What am I doing wrong? I used nLite to slipstream SP2 and slim down windows. I then added these to the $OEM$ folder and also tried adding them to the $1/Install folder to be called by start.cmd. Then I created the ISO with nLite and tested in VMWare. Could this have something to do with the "subpaths" that GreenMachine was talking about in the huge regtweaks thread? Because I haven't been able to find any more info on those. Please help a newbie!
