Ahh, thx for that dude, twas the patch

U want to to map a Network drive through CMD right? use this: net use x: \\pcname\ If u require passwords and usernames check out this site here http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~help/windows/mapp...ing_drives.html

I had the exact same problem dude. I used UltraISO rather than WinISO to create the image and it worked fine... hope that helps...

Been recording CD's for years, but recently this problem has come along... I'm unable to burn CD's of high capacities (690MB and over...). Not just with Nero, but with other Apps too... I recently installed Adaptec's ASPI, could it be that. In that case, how do i remove it? thx,

cool tweaks, thx dude

thx for that GreenMachine!

Did some research, found 2 great tools (not as simple as RegsShot but can export to .reg) These are Advanced Registry Trace and RegSnap (both available for downloads.com). If u don't want to export to .reg, i recommend u use RegShot. Sorry for answering my own post, lol

Anyone know some software like Regshot that can check for differences in registry and then create a .reg file?? (not AI Snapshot) or do u have n e suggestions on how to turn the RegShot files to .reg entries quickly?? 2ndly, any1 know a good registry editor??

Any1 know a good Registry Editor (better than regedit)???

One question, by using these methods of installations, do u get problems with WFP??

Insert something like this in the batch file: ECHO Removing useless shortcuts... DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk" DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk" ECHO.

Ahhh COOL! thx for the quick reply m8

Hey i don't know about u guys but i've been making a crap load of $$$ just fixing MSBlast for ppl. thank u M$!

Sorry, not really experienced with BATCH/Registry entries, but what would I do to remove individual entries, like these to here: [HKEY...] Entry 1 Entry 2 I know that i can put a - sign before HKEY, but that would also delete Entry 2, and only want to delete entry 1. How do I do this?? thx ppl

thx for that Red!

I suppose that u have already created the accounts, just create the folders u want to be copied and put it in the install dir and in the batch use a command like COPY %systemdrive%\install\foldername %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\ /Y I think there are better ways, but i can't think of 1 right now.... how it helps

Hello I'm new to visual themes and stuff and i was wondering wut u guys recommended to place custom icons so that i could make them install unattendly. Any ideas0=???

yeah it make sense, but i don't think u can (u might if u ask some1 who knows more) but u can just disable MSN Messenger 4 and do a batch for MSN 6...

bump

BTW, what is this Spyware Alexa anyways??? Just put into mine cause other ppl had it...

ya! Regshot's pretty sweet. Anyways, thx to every1 who helped out in this thread i managed to create the perfect tweak REG file (for me...)

No more tweaks anyone wants to share ???

Nevermind, I just used UltraISO and it worked fine. I recommend it, better than WinISO!!

Hello, has anyone managed to install their Unattended XP installations using WinISO and Virtual PC. Everytime I create the ISO file and mount it, it says gives me "Code 4" error saying that it can't boot from CD!! The settings i used for WinISO was the CD Label as WXPVOL_EN (don't think it matters) and i used the boot information from a file name boot.bin which I always use for burning in Nero and always works fine. The directories are identical as always keep them in normal XP CD's. Any ideas anyone??
