  1. Hi all, I was just wondering what the registry settings are for starting XP in with the classic theme (HKLM and HKCU paths if possible) as I can't seem to find this ages...I was sifting through the registry tweaks sticky thread but got bored by the time I got to page 18....
  2. Thanks for the reply rx7tt, I shall try those shortly. However, now im slightly confused. I was under the impression (from reading various registry tweak related threads) that if you add a HKEY_CURRENT_USER value to the registry using the cmdlines.txt the changes would be mapped to the default user profile. However, the above post are HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and a quick check on this computer using regedit shows them to exist here, so have I been misreading these threads? Just trying to get things straight in my mind :/
  3. Thanks for the replies guys! Mahi's suggestion is more concise, however, I may have to try Yzowl's because as I mentioned in the opening post, the classic control panel doesn't show up...after further experimenting it seems that all HKEY_CURRENT_USER entries processed from the cmdlines.txt don't work when im doing my unattended install, however HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entries do!!!!! Is this normal? What could be the reason for this?
  4. Im plodding along adding things to my unattended installation bit-by-bit and now im exploring registry settings. Above all else I want the 'My Computer' icon on the desktop by default on all user profiles and I've searched everywhere for this on these forums and the net...unless im being blind I cannot see it mentioned anywhere but I wouldve thought this was a common request. Also, I've tried this once (my registry file 'Regedit /s tweaks.reg' called from cmdlines.txt; Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disable Welcome Screen and uses Classic Logon [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "LogonType"=dword:00000000 ;Classic control panel view [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "ForceClassicControlPanel"=dword:00000001 The classic logon works, but the classic control panel doesnt?!? Any ideas. Cheers.
  5. As per the guide on this side it says put the $oem$ folder in the root directory, on the same level as i386, however other places, including the Microsoft guidelines say put this directory inside i386. So, if I follow the Microsoft guidlines I get this message when running the initial winnt setup program; C:\$\$1\installs\office~1\files\common\l&h\speech\1033\tts\tts3000 Otherwise if I put the $oem$ directory in the root i.e. C:\XPCD\$OEM$ the files dont get copied across! What's going on ?
  6. No I didn't, because I am installing Office 2003 And I did follow the 2003 guide, and I've double checked it again today!
  7. Hi all! Having recently discovered this site I've been playing around with various unattended installs of programs as well as XP...When I try to add Office 2003 into my unattended install I get this message half way through copying; Setup was unable to create the following directory on the target drive: C:\$\$1\installs\office~1\files\common\l&h\speech\1033\tts\tts3000 Im using the winnt command, not winnt32. I have a dos 6.22 network boot disk and have an initial maximum sized fat16 partition (2gig) which is converted to NTFS and expanded to fill the drive (through the unattended script). I get this IDENTICAL message on two completely different setups - at home on my desktop and laptop and at work from a server and random workstation! Any ideas? Thanks!
