ok, i was more comfortable with option 2....however, as I plug into runonceex, do i need a switch for aiminstall.cmd? this is what I have so far.... REG ADD %KEY%\042 /VE /D "AOL Instant Messenger v5.9.6089" /f REG ADD %KEY%\042 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\aiminstall.cmd" /f Switch2me??!?! Or is that good enough? - Jeff

thanks takeshi....i had a misspoke as they say.....the novice in me was looking for a billboard that screams "read me" :

Hey all, Ok, since this post was recently hit and I saw something that caught my eye, I was hoping that I could play on some generosity.... speaking of reg tweaks and "unattended"...I've been looking over the forums and haven't a satisfactory (to an a**-backwards n00b) answer to the following questions. I made a tweaks.reg file, compiled from other ppl's tweaks, for an unattended install......now what the heck do i do with the file? i know that i need some lines in a .cmd file; i already have a bootlogo.cmd file for the boot screen. do i, and more importantly what, add to get the tweaks.reg file going? on top of that, the unattended guide kicked *** on how to create the file, but it neglects to mention 1) where i put the file in my install cd and 2) what sort of code/commands i need to get it done? do i put something in my winnt.sif file, which i've put (hopefully correct?).....i've made an educated guess that... [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\tweaks.reg (%systemdrive%\install as a folder equates to __________ in my distribution folder tree?) bootlogo.cmd (but that needs a direction, and i don't know which folder to put that file in) Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope!

ok, n00b here needs a crutch....i went through and compiled a small list of regtweaks i wanna use in my unattended install....made tweaks.reg what do i do with tweaks.reg? where do i place it in my folder tree? what do i add to winnt.sif? also, do i put the "REGEDIT /S <path>\tweak.reg" after EVERY tweak or just the end of my file? What would I put in the <path>? Sorry to be greedy with so many questions, I'm just really excited - Jeff
