Edit the registry. Navigate to the following sub key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System In the right-hand pane, locate "DisableTaskMgr" and modify the value to 0. And Navigate to this following sub key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System In the right-hand pane, locate "DisableTaskMgr", if present, and modify the value to 0.

Type this in the Command Prompt and your Folder should work correctly. REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell" /va

Open the command prompt and type the new location of the temp files. set temp=d:\temp set tmp=d:\temp

Copy the following into Notepad and call the file whatever.reg. Double-click the reg file to import into the Regsitry. This will restore all your display tabs.

Thank-you VAD, much sppreciated.

To Rambler, I am sorry, I was the one mistaken. And thanks to VAD for pointing this out. So in the cmdlines.txt file. Should look something like this? ------------- [COMMANDS] "REG IMPORT DefaultTweaks.reg" ----------------- With the "DefaultTweaks.reg" loacted in the $OEM$ folder.

Sorry this was not the answer I was looking for. I have figured it out. The ntuser.dat file in the Default Profile is not the same as the regeistry key HKEY_USERS\.Deafult

Just a couple of questions. I want to add registry tweaks to the Default User. I am wondering which way this should be done. Should I do it this way: RunOnceEx partial contents: ------------------------- REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks\Tweaks01.cmd" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 2 /D "regedit.exe /s %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks\Tweaks.reg" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 3 /D "%systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks\Tweaks02.cmd" /f ------------------------- Tweaks01.cmd contents: ------------------------ cmdow @ /HID REG LOAD HKLM\Tweaks "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat" EXIT ------------------------ Tweaks02.cmd contents: ------------------------- cmdow @ /HID REG UNLOAD HKLM\Tweaks EXIT ------------------------- Tweaks.reg partial contents: ------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Tweaks\Software\Microsoft\Whatevertweaks] ------------------------- Or should it be done this way: RunOnceEx partial contents: ------------------------- REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "regedit.exe /s %systemdrive%\install\RegTweaks\Tweaks.reg" /f ------------------------- Tweaks.reg partial contents: ------------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Whatevertweaks] ------------------------- Any advise would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks tguy

I was wondering if there was a way to copy the files to a different partition or 2nd Hard drive when Win XP is copying the files to the system drive at the start of setup. I was thinking if you put the files under $OEM$\$2, would this copy the files to a different partition during the Win XP setup installation?

This is a great site, a wealth of information. I am from British Columbia, Canada. If I cannot find any answers to my questions after searching then I will post. But so far I have found many of my questions with the search function.
