Did you use nlite twice on the same folder ? Try to start again from scratch : delete the folder, copy your CD again to this folder, start nlite. If needed, you can automate this with a .reg file that would silenlty be run after each install. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\ Remove the entries you don't want. Export the key to a .reg file. Lets name it mycomp.reg for instance. Edit it with notepad, on the second line, add [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\]. Save. Move mycomp.reg to the $OEM$ folder for your CD, edit the cmdlines.txt file, add this line at the end : "regedit /s mycomp.reg" (with the quotes). You're done.
