Anyone got MasaiEditor I want to try it, but i dont want to register on their since since they will send me tons of email Thank you!

Windows XP could run perfectly if you just disable all those useless visual effects... All doable with registry tweak. Again, this is time consuming, but this is very usefull tough..... Still working on this right now...

Doing RIS installation would be easier than Ghost My corporate environment is using a lot of different system. 3-4 dell different system, clone intel based desktop, laptop.... Right now im working on RIS install Using unattended Ris installation this is a goos first step Then using RunOnceEx command line, u can install all ur apps easily. Just get the unattended installation switche and you're done I think the harder part is to get the tweak so your system is tweaked the way you want it. This forum has a lot of stuff on this.... you can do it!!!!

Well... huh... i know how it works And actually, it loads from a regedit /s regtweaks.reg and yes the file contain my tweak inside.... And yes most of others tweaks works inside....

Loading this with cmdlines.txt [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="2" "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000001 "SmoothScroll"=dword:00000000 "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:30,20,05,80 So it's applied on default user...

Go to your Domain GPO setting, then edit your Default GPO Policy Under User Configuration -->Windows Setting --> Ris Option D-Click on Choices Option Then Enable custom When Running Clien installation Wizard U'll get the choice of going Custom Mode, this way u'll get able to enter machine name Hope this help!

Hello! I have a question, i've done a lot a search on this, and a lot a try. I would like to know if someone has ever tweaked the "Display Properties" in the way that "Fade Effect" = Disable And Smooth Edge = Normal I know there is a key in HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop then UserPreferencesMask I know this setting is saved as HEX. On this site found while googling --> UserPreferencesMask They talked about this tweak. Seems that this tweak has to be edited in BINARY then ocnverted to HEX. Ok this part i got it. Now the part that i dont understand. I've set everything i wanted, exported my setting. So now, default user --> UserPreferencesMask=hex=30,20,05,80 The trick is, if a user logs on, those setting are overwriten with 3e,2c,05,80 Anyone has a clue on this one? Thank you for your help! This board rocks!

First of all, thank you for this info, i was searching for this one since a couple weeks! My question are: 1) Where do I run this cmd file? 2) Is this will work for all user? Thank you!

Actually, this is what I'm doing. But i want it fully automatic. What I'm planning to do, is to keep the same password on my RIS image, and at the RunOnceEx command, to change it, and dump it on my network (a secure place) to retrieve it. All I need is some apps that will generate a password and will dump it on my network...

I only need to get this file for retrieving purpose. If it doesnt dump the password somewhere, how i can know this password?

For home user i think Windows Post Installer is the right answer for them. In a corporate environment where you want no end-user click, i think RunOnceEx is more appropriate. Should use some SMS to deploy other apps too.

Using the reg tweak with: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="Administrator" "DefaultPassword"="PASSWORD_HERE" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" Will this log on only 1 times of it will log on automatically everytimes it boots up? In my corporate environment that would be perfect if it can just logon once to get my RunOnceEx command executed automatically... Thank you!

Hello all! First of all, i'd like to say that this board is awesome. It's very interesting to see how much people helps others. In the context where security is a big priority for sys admin , most of you, i hope, have a different local administrator password. (Don't you?) Here is my setup scenario: 1) I'd like to be able to generate a random password for the local administrator account 2) Once Windows Has finished to install, on first logon, able to log as "local administrator" 3) Dump the generated password somewhere on my network Am I dreaming? or Is this possible? Thank you for your answer!
