Thank You. I will be trying it soon.

Well I have attempted to make a Auto Install DVD that uses a VB program written by me to add users, set comp name, set admin password, and choose programs to install. The Weird thing is that some installers such as Clone CD will not launch well the VB window is open. I used auto it on it and many others some of which work and some do not. So I have 2 questions. 1. Anyone know why a VB.net program would prevent CloneCD or any others from Opening? The AutoIt Script sits in the background listed as not responding until the window closes then quickly does the install. 2. Is there a way to record exactly where files are put on an install so I can do my own install. I already know exactly what reg keys were written, but it seems that there is a file that is illuding me. Thanks In Advance

Ok well I figured out what the problem was, but not why. It seems that inorder for my desktop.ini to work the attrib properties on the folder must be read only, but It seems that I have to use the Command line attrib. Just checking the Read Only box dosnt do it. Anyone have an Idea as to why?

Ok I want to Customize all of the Icons in my program files folder and a few other places for my unattended Install, but I seem to be missing somthing. When you customize a folder in XP it creates a desktop.ini file with Info such as the info below, but it seems that somthing else is done. If I manually create the Desktop.ini in a folder that hasnt had one it will not apply to the folder. After you tell windows to create the file changeing to a different icon works and deleteing the file defaults the Icon. I have checked and found that the icon changes are global, but when I watch the registry for changes while setting icons only HKLU is changed and that is simply adding to the Last accessed .ico extension. I was going to write a program to do this, or at least a script; but I simply cannot figure out what else is happening to make the desktop.ini be read. Desktop.ini [.ShellClassInfo] IconFile=%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search & Destroy\FolderIcon.ico IconIndex=0

Ok well I cannot tell you for sure but I will give it a try 1. This seems to be the Bit to enable/disable Terminal Server (IE remote Desktop) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections: 0x00000000 2. I have no clue about the epoch one. 3. All of the changes with port 3389 enable Terminal Server to listen on that port and also possibly deactivate windows firewall for that port? So you will need at least the terminal server and ports.
