Good one. Granted that's not exactly what I'm looking to accomplish. Thanks all the same.

Well gang I have what I'm sure is a simple question for you seasoned veterans out there. A little history first... Been performing unattended installs since Win2K by the old manual ways before such great programs like nLite came out and what now. So, I have the basic skill sets plus some putting me comfortably at an intermediate skill level I'd say. Here's what I'm looking to do that I cant seem to solve. Looking to perform an unattended install of WinXP (created like a million of these before) that does (2) additional things either before the first login or at the first login. I do not care which. 1) Import one registry key that sets XP's SourcePath to the C:\ drive. Example: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] "SourcePath"="C:\\" ********** 2) Copy the I386 folder from the CD over to the C:\ drive. Example: XCOPY %cdrom%\I386 C:\I386 /E /Q ********** To me this seems like it should be easy to take care of and I can see where using the $OEM$ with cmdlines.txt would probably accomplish the job except I have one problem there, I'm not using the $OEM$ folders for this particular unattended install because I have to use the F6 option during install and I do not want to integrate the drivers on this disk. I require the So, I've dug through RunOnceEx.cmd and various INF files and cant find a single way to accomplish these two basic tasks. Let me rephrase, the registry import can be easily accomplished I know. I just have no clue how to perform the batch file command to copy the I386 folder from the CD to the C:\. Hopefully someone has come across a similar scenario and can assist here. I certainly appreciate any help that you can provide. User0101
