Quick request for you simon... any chance you could attach a changelog to the 1st post? This way, those of us who cant keep up on the pages upon pages of posts here will know exactly what was updated when we see youve edited it... Thanks!

::edit:: after pawing through thread after thread of people mentioning this tool, but simply saying to search for it... i finally found an actual link http://www.jsiinc.com/dl/NETUSER.EXE

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/autologon.htm

EDIT: we want names! um.. me?

have you tried this on WinXP?

Change the 1 to 0. and to not have the problems again, just modify your autologon.reg to not autologon as well...

sorry.... i guess i didnt realize one couldnt create a pointless post around here.

My main goal was find apps you can run from USB key and use on any PC... some of the programs posted above dont meet this criteria without addtional configuration... The couple mozilla apps (firefox, thunderbird) for example need additional configuration if you want to be able to use them on a usb on any pc since by default they create entries in the Application Data folder... I guess I'll try to keep the other thread alive with only programs of this nature....

So the pats just won, which completely rules (im from maine) and im pretty buzzed. love this place and frequent it perhaps a bit too frequently.... but just felt like posting some randomness....

I use the places reg tweak for that... anyone else have 'personal workstation' uses for this stuff?

I had the same problem, not only with winnt.sif but with using the 1395VidChng program available on UA guide downloads... I fixed it by using a refresh rate of 1 and it worked like a charm. give that a shot with your winnt.sif... id be interested in hearing the results

I wasnt aware you could change a username... I thought you could only delete and create user accounts... Is this what you did? Remove the 'WinXP' user account and create a 'Killa' account? Id say try booting into safe mode. Hopefully that will allow you to login without issue. At that point, I would remove the registry entry that was made by the autologin.reg file, then reboot and see if you still have the same problem.

yep... no problems here with removing LANG folder...

Trying to my hardest to decipher this post.... Let me see how I did... You used a UA cd with the autologon.reg / useraccounts.cmd to autologon with a particular user account with no password. Then you created a new user account, that does have a password and but its still trying to automatically login using your original account?? Am I even close? As for the last sentence about 'cant be log in...' i have no idea what youre talking about. Can you try to explain a bit more clearly what the actual problem is youre having?

Thx Alanoll! ... and apologies Cozmo if you felt I was giving you 'attitude'

I guess the question is what exactly do you plan on using this for? If youre referring to simply replacing the runonceex / guirunonce stage with something that allows for the user interaction you talking about, then use what a couple of these guys are referring to... WIHU or WPI, they do exactly that. If youre talking just any batch file in general, I guess another question would be, does it have to be a "GUI" interface? You can easily make menus with batch files that would allow the user to launch any other batch files you want... that would probably be the easiest solution to what youre looking for if you dont want to stray too far off of batch files... and holy cow! im over 400 posts! woot!

yea.. thats what I figured... darn

which doesnt change the functionality at all... just puts bells and whistles on the cmd prompt... but, thats about as close as your going to get without recoding your batch files...

got google? this isnt an msfn specific thing... search 'download SP2 uxtheme.dll' and youll have at least 10 places you should be able to download it. and btw, i use nlite and it patches my uxtheme without issue.

what does youre cmdlines.txt look like?

If youre looking to replace general batch files, not just the UA application install method, I hate to tell ya, but there isnt any 'easy' way to do this. Youve got to use some other coding like VB or Java script.

Is it possible to create a shortcut based on relative paths instead of absolute? IE: I have a shorcut placed on the root of a drive, which has a folder in it, which contains the program I want to point the shortcut to. I dont think there is, but thought Id check... Thanks!

Suggestion: Axe QuickTime all together and simply use Classic Media player with the quicktime addins.... (Sorry I just cant stand the program)

I can tell you your problem is in your runonceex.... you have a ton of entries with no end quotes as well as no '/f' at the end of each line. Not only that but your last 2 entries use the same numbers (045)... Clean that thing up!!

Short of the obvious admin stuff that would be useful in a corporate environment, what are a couple things you guys use this for on your personal pcs?
