You are the one who is flooding the group with non-topic related posts. I'd ask "If you'd be so kind, could you please post a link to this 'guide' or perhaps tell me what to search for, because 'user pictures' isn't cutting it", but then again, you're not that kind, so I doubt you'd help me.

No need to be rude, sir. I did use the search button to no avail. Searched for "user picture" and looked at several pages of what was returned, but nothing popped out at me.

During setup, I've got mine set up to add my user name and add me to the Administrators group. But, the question is: is there any way to change the user picture as well? I have found this keyname: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Hints\<username> with a value of "PictureSource"="<path>\picture.jpg" While adding the username, I also use the REG program to ADD that key and value name and have it point to a certain picture. But, when windows starts up, it shows the default "random" picture built-in to XP. If anyone has any idea about how to do this, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

After installing Office 2003 (unattended or attended), the language bar is turned on by default. Does anyone know where it is in the registry that you can disable this by default for any new user that signs on? I would like to have it imported during setup.

As a hobby (should be a profession), I build computers for people when they ask it of me. I keep on hand usually 3 to 4 WinXP Pro OEM CD's (usually buy them in a 5-pack from my distributor). I pre-load various software applications (like Adobe Acrobat Reader, various chat programs, and others as well) by creating a single CD with everything I need on it and do an unattended installation. After installation is complete, I just change the CD-KEY to the appropriate one before delivery to the buyer. I've just begun trying out the Sysprep tool and using the "Resealing" option, adding the new CD-KEY to the OOBEINFO.INI file and let the "Out of Box Experience" run when they get it. I think that would be very neat, but I can't use this method just yet until I figure out a fix to a problem I'm having. After I run the SYSPREP -RESEAL option, and reboot and go to test the startup, something happens after the first logon. My RunOnceEx commands (entered by CMDLINES.TXT and the RUNONCEEX.CMD file during setup) executes AGAIN when I type in my name and logon for the first time. The dialog shows up, but gives an error on every single one because the file doesn't exist ('cause my Cleanup command deleted the \INSTALL folder already because the applications are already on). Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
