BoardBabe

Hello bglinkerman and welcome to the forum! Please use the search function as these are both questions that are already covered at the forum. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=51753 covers your QuickLaunch question. As for setting FireFox as the default browser there is probably a way to do this through registry but also using -setDefaultBrowser switch when installing FireFox.

If you create a useraccount like I do the Administrator account will not even show.

by far the best one too

No, I put it in a batchfile that is ran from cmdlines.txt

MHz: Never thought of using WinMove() to hide a window, good thinking!

You don't. Not to be rude, but you need to go back and firmly read the guide from step1 and take it from there. I'd recommend following the guide 100% and create an unattended setup manually and wait with adding/removing till you get that working, you will get a better understanding of what's going on. It's hard to explain what you are asking when your missing some verry basic knowledge. Please don't take this offending, as we have all started somewhere and it is much to read for understanding what's going on Keep it up...

Here is my method for creating admin user with autlogon using a batchfile. @echo off : Set username and password (leave blank for non). set AdminUser=BoardBabe set AdminPass= : Adding user. net user %AdminUser% %AdminPass% /add net localgroup Administratorer %AdminUser% /add net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited : Activate autologon. reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "DefaultUserName" /d "%AdminUser%" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "DefaultPassword" /d "%AdminPass%" /f reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "AutoAdminLogon" /d "1" /f exit

I don't use nLite, I use WPI, check out the WPI topic for more info. PS. You can create a batch file by saving the content above to a .cmd file from notepad. You can also put path\to\exe\dotnetfx2.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q" in RUN to silently install.

You are encouraged to read and search because there are numerous topics that are double posted because new members tend to not use the search function, and all of what you are asking are already posted and answered. Personally I use the following switch for DotNet 2 dotnetfx2.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q" It's up to you how to install this, you could use a batch file as follows: @echo off : Determine CDROM drive letter for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\win51ip.SP2 set CDROM=%%i: start /wait %cdrom%\DOTNETFX\dotnetfx2.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q" exit Now this would only make sence to you if you have firmly read the unattended.msfn.org guide And don't worry it takes quite some trial and error to get it all working Good luck!

Please read http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/38/ again and referre to "Intermediate Users >> Applications" for the various installertype switches. Then use the search function at the forum for application specific switches, most are already covered, like dotnet.

It's not, those are required. Note that Adobe Help center is out in an updated version 2.1 (Get AdobeSecurityPatch and extract).

Please post your winnt.sif and the method you are using to create your admin account.

Would help if you post how you add this user.

Well it just sounds suspicious to me that this should not effect anything else than a displaytext. But as RogueSpear states we will find out

I am using XP SP2 Pro.

No need to double post. This belongs at the Applications part of the forum, and I'm pretty sure it's already covered if you search.

Hmm, I'm thinking this would effect something critical, any ideas? Don't you think this is actually an identifyer used for something?

Anything put in $OEM$\$1 will be copied to %SystemDrive% Anything put in $OEM$\$$ will be copied to %SystemRoot% Anything put in $OEM$\$Progs will be copied to %ProgramFiles% Anything put in $OEM$\$Docs will be copied to %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings It's up to you to make subfolders, if you would like to copy files to System32 dir you would then put the files in $OEM$\$$\System32 Files that are put directly in the $OEM$ folder will not get copied (permanently anyhow) to your harddrive.

Let me introduce my real identity, hello everyone my name is Mr. Gates, Bill Gates.

Eric1987: You are breaking the law by installing illegal Windows XP and may be reported, this kind of behaviour and posting is strictly forbidden and not tolerated at this forum. Buy a legal hologramed Windows XP CD/license and we will help you. PS. There is not even such thing as an official Microsoft Windows XP SP3.

Is there a way to disable the initial iTunes EULA?

Thank you Shark007, Thank you RogueSpear!

Hello coorrel, welcome to the forum. Paste the following into notepad and save as *.reg, apply during setup and shadow will be activated.

Bilou_Gateux: I don't see how this is different from my post above?

Thank you, that was actually a really good idea! Care to share how you are doing that?
