what method did you use to copy uxtheme.dll over? Using Rename and Copy, or the $$ folder in $OEM$?

you need to sign out then sign back in for it to take effect

I will update the guide at some point for this different method, just haven't got the time to do any major updates for the time being as my hands are full at the moment.

Thanks, posted

I will fix them in due time because I'll have to wait for Amplier (he's german and also fluent in English) to do the translations for me when he's back from vacation on 28th

The Aero screenshots are real, however I'm uncertain about the Longhorn screenshots at msbetas.net; they're not a very reputable source, whereas WinBeta.org is.

Some good ones here: http://americanpsycho.deviantart.com/gallery/?limit=60 and my favourite, which was used in one of the Longhorn screenshots at WinHEC IIRC: http://www.deviantart.com/view/1452879/

OK I'll look into it.

http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/finish.htm : make sure the $OEM$ directory is alongside the i386 directory, not in the i386 directory! e.g. C:\XPCD\i386\ C:\XPCD\$OEM$\ Not: C:\XPCD\i386\$OEM$\ Looks clear to me, but umm.. I'll do screenshots if people are having trouble understanding that...

We can't change all the legend icons to windows icons, that means 8 unique windows logos, when there's only one.

are you trying to upload a png with the extension in uppercase? (e.g. myavatar.PNG)

The contents of the original Office XP Professional with Frontpage CD is 448 MB (470,095,891 bytes) I'm not sure about editing an Administrative point to change a CD-Key. I'm sure its storing it somewhere.

yes, it doesn't exist, becase the registry tweak removes the whole key from the registry. to add it back in, remove the - in front of HKEY

Double posts merged

hehehe. XP Mods and hacks for XP would be great, it could even be a partner site for MSFN's Unattended XP CD Guide Remember, good layout. no bitmap images(!), and no geocities either!

Doesn't the one on the Registry Tweaks page work? At least it works fine for me.

The CSS was a pain in the a** for skinning the board identically as version 1.1.2. We still have a few minor adjustments to make, including making some dark buttons for the new images we came across, but we'll do that tomorrow.

"I've downloaded the ISO stuff, from the site: http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/finish.htm I used WinISO, to copy the files into an ISO file, and then added the boot information from the XP_PRO.ISO file." What I meant is you tried to make the ISO from the site 'bootable', when it already was. This probably caused the error.

adding your own boot information caused the problem, because the ISOs available on the site are already bootable.

well, you lose the quality a bit. Ripping as wave keeps the quality intact as it was on CD.

Windows Printscreen won't capture images that are using directx, you will need to use Hypersnap for special capture options for this. WinDVD and PowerDVD also have screen capture options

Place both CDIMAGE.exe and xpboot.img in the root of the C:\ drive, this command also assumes you have a folder called C:\XPCD\ containing your CD files. C:\CDIMAGE.EXE -lWXPFPP_EN -bC:\xpboot.img -t08/26/2001,02:56:00 -d -h -n -m -o C:\XPCD C:\WXPFPP_EN.ISO WXPFPP_EN.ISO will be created in the root of the C:\ Drive -l = specifies a volume name, WXPFPP_EN is Windows XP Professional -b = specify location of boot file -t = set a time stamp on all files -d = don't force lowercase filenames to uppercase -h = include hidden files and directories -n = allow long filenames (longer than DOS 8.3 names) -m = ignore maximum image size of 681,984,000 bytes -o = optimize storage by encoding duplicate files only once Since Command prompt doesn't allow you to paste the command in, (its a hassle typing all that out) simply put it into a CreateISO.cmd batch and execute!

I'll see if I can make a command for XP SP1

Microsoft's Software Update Services (SUS) is what you need. It downloads all the updates onto the server, then acts as a local windows update for all the systems on the network. http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/windo...sus/default.asp

The Microsoft CDImage app is also a nice tool. It will make a bootable ISO out of the XPCD directory you specify, using only one command line.
