  1. Hello crazyjust,

    Actually, just to add to what Johnhc said, if you don't mind other users having that same file on their desktop as well, you can simply add this folder to the root of your Windows Source directory (the one that nLite uses to create its files):

    $OEM$\$Docs\All Users\Desktop

    ...and just add your textfile to that directory. When your nLited Windows installation finishes, I think you will find the file on your desktop.

    If you already have a username in mind, and try the following directory structure:

    $OEM$\$Docs\Username\Desktop

    ...you may find that windows will create a folder with that particular username in "Documents and Settings", but if your Admin name is the same as the user name you'd like to use (since we can do so in nLite), you may get

    Documents and Settings\Username

    Documents and Settings\Username.WorkGroup

    ...like Johnhc said, there may be a problem because Windows didn't create the file structures yet when Windows gets to the $OEM$ folder (account initialization not complete), but you can give it a shot if you'd like.

    There may be a setting you have to enable in nLite to be able to use the $OEM$ folder though - I'm not sure anymore.

    Good luck in your quest for an answer! :)

  2. Hello malcomx,

    It might be something on your end, perhaos a setting. I just installed an nLited version of XP and when I go to Display Properties > Appearances > Effects, Cleartype is already enabled on my system.

    When using nLite in the "Tweaks" section, I'll assume that you enabled the "Smooth edges of screenfonts" option to "Cleartype" ?

    If you did, then I'm all out of ideas...

    Good luck in your search for an answer!

  3. Hello to you all,

    First, I'd like to thank nuhi for an excellent program - been using it for years now on several machines and it is great :)

    I was wondering though if the following would be possible to implement through nLite:

    * If we have a wireless network, and we know all the settings, could we pre-set nLite or Windows to "install" the network so that when nLite finishes the installation, the wireless network card will already be connected to the default wireless network?

    * Can we do something so that when nLite finishes installing, that an Autologin is in effect, eliminating the need for a password? I am only one user on any of my computers and usually use TweakUI to set the AutoLogin settings, but was wondering if there is an efficient/lazy way of setting it in nLite.

    I can do both of these things manually after Windows has been installed, but was wondering if there was a way to do it so that it is part of the install process.

    Thanks to you all for your time, I find the nLite forums very friendly and useful (I'm more of a lurker than a contributor) and have a great day!

  4. Nuhi - thank you very much for nLite in general :) It is very, very much appreciated. And now, with Directburn possible - SWEEEET! :D Thanks to Binary Magic too for that!

    And the people on this forum who do their best to help, respond, and trouble shoot - you all kick a** :)

  5. Hello,

    From this forum, http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=24318&st=40

    James posted,

    "A little self-explanator, but perhaps worth reaffirming; if one removes the experimental 'Logical Disk Manager' service they will lose the ability to prep new harddrives (partition etc.)".

    1) So, just to be sure, if I remove Logical Disk Manager, but my partitions are already all taken care of prior to an install due to Partition Magic or any other such tool, then I no longer need LDM right?

    2) And after an install without LDM, if I add a new HD and take care of it with Partition Magic, then all I have left to do is boot into Windows and Format the new partitions, right?

    3 And the lack of LDM will not prevent my computer from using my logical disks I assume?

    Thanks in advance for any and all help! :)
