Hey i acctually imported this line, Instead of what you have posted kelsenellenelvian. ;Disables the Music Played During Windows Startup and Shutdown [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current] @="" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemExit\.Current] @="" However i am unable to import this key sucessfully during an unatteded install. At first boot i import these keys and it imports perfectly and sounds are disabled. @kelsenellenelvian Do you have any reason to use @=hex(2):00,00 rather than @="" @deweydesigns Yea your method might work but i only want Startup Music and Shutdown music disabled. Thanks for your tip though.

the system is part of a home network. Its running windows xp pro and the install was not unatteded.

I have this checked under driver signing... (x) Ignore - Install the software anyway and don't ask for my approval. Yet when i just installed the new version of omega drivers it said they did not pass windows Logo thing. Why did i get this prompt? Is there some other setting that needs to be changed? and yes "have this be the administrator defualt" is also checked

@kelsenellenelvian Thank you for your quick response. Ill give this a try

Does anyone know of a registry tweak to change the windows startup and shutdown music that is played to "none"?

hmmmm so i think i messed something up. I can no longer changes ettings under the security tab. Every option ecept for Edit is grayed out and when i click Edit everything in that window is also grayed out. what did i do? can i change it back to default settings some how?

hey if i remove "everyone" from my permisions no one can see my shares can they?

@Takeshi WOW Takeshi thanks ALOT. I never knew there was an option like this. This is what i wanted!!! thank you!

Alright i want to uncheck this option "automatically search for network folders and printers" In the registry tweak file i found this ;----- don't auto search for LAN folders/printers "NoNetCrawling"=dword:00000001 "FolderContentsInfoTip"=dword:00000001 "FriendlyTree"=dword:00000000 the NoNetCrawling key unchecks or checks this option. What are the other keys for? also this key is listed under here in the registry file... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] I acctually found it here... [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] im a little confused...

@circumflatulator well i tried what you said and check the box to allow users to change my shared files. It then changed the folder permissions. So then i unchecked it and it did not change folder permissions... i dont get it. I could share the entire drive i guess but i really rather not if i dont have to... @vando2k I dont have a security tab in my folder options. just General, Sharing, and Customize. There is a security section under sharing. is that what you are talking about?

Has anyone else had problems with the sound fx in age 3? for some reason it plays the sounds for like 10min but then they just disapear after i have been playing a while. very annoying.

I have a network setup with my roommates and my computer. We all share music and movies with eachother over this network. However for some reason we are able to delete and rename and move shared files straight off each others computers. I Is it possable to only allow shared files to be copied from one computer to another so that nothing can be changed. In my shared folder (which is not my Shared Docs folder) i do not have "Allow network users to change my files" checked so i dont see why shared folders can be edited/deleted.

Awsome i can hardly wait for this game. Thanks for the link.

Well i dont know what to say guys but i tried what you said and still nothing. I tried the \ thing between the long strings so that key would import and that did not work. So i just imported a few of the file type extentions just to test to see if once imported the file would run without the prompt but no luck. I tried downloading the file after the settings where imported still nothing I think there must be some other key involved becuase when i downloaded a file and uncheck the box that said "allow this file to be run or whatever" when i got the prompt no keys where created in the registry similar to what i was importing. unchecking that box must change something elsewhere in the registry. please let me know any other ideas. thanx

I am very curious what the folders you are removed are for? What would hey be used for? What programs/serivces ect rely on what you have listed here. Your batch file looks very good and i would love to test it and perhaps add it to my unnatteded install. If you could only tell me the reasons you feel safe for removing what you are removing thanks

My winnt.sif looks alot like yours but i have AutoConfirm=1. That line should prevent your pop-up [Display] ; Sets screen resolution to 1024X768 BitsPerPel = 32 Xresolution = 1024 Yresolution = 768 Vrefresh = 75 AutoConfirm=1

yes they are the same

I just tested the tweak to prevent the open file - security warning and had no luck. Although i noticed that this reg key did not import for some reason. so that could be the reason for the falure. Let me know what you think [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Associations] "LowRiskFileTypes"=".zip;.rar;.nfo;.txt;.exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.msi;.htm;.html;.gif;. bmp;.jpg;.avi;.mpg;.mpeg;.mov;.mp3;.m3u;.wav;"

I found this in the tweaks file but i an unable to get it working? has anyone had success with this tweak? ;----- Gets rid of anoying popup for running files you download from internet ;----- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download] "CheckExeSignatures"="no" "RunInvalidSignatures"=dword:00000000

I have these 4 tweaks that get prevent prompts 1, 3, 4 and 5 in the list you have. I would love to know what tweaks are needed to get prevent the others. ;Disables Internet Explorer "Send Information to the Internet" Prompt [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3] "1601"=dword:00000000 ;Disables Internet Explorer "Auto-Complete" Prompt [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IntelliForms] "AskUser"=dword:00000000 ;Disables Internet Explorer "Information Bar, Which States IE will block Pop-Ups" Prompt [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InformationBar] "FirstTime"=dword:00000000 ;Disables Internet Explorer "Cookie - Privacy Icon" Prompt [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "PrivDiscUiShown"=dword:00000001

It is quite simple really. You only need to add a few things in the networking section of your winnt.sif. This is what i have in my winnt.sif although for mine i instlal QoS packet Scheduler and NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS along with the default installed network components: [Networking] DefaultComponents=No [NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1 [params.Adapter1] INFID=* [NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient [NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER MS_PSched=params.MS_PSched [NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP MS_NWIPX=params.MS_NWIPX [params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=Yes UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1 [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=Yes WINS=No NetBIOSOptions=0 [params.MS_NWIPX] VirtualNetworkNumber=00000000 AdapterSections=params.MS_NWIPX.Adapter1 [params.MS_NWIPX.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 PktType=0xFF NetworkNumber=00000000 If you want to just install QoS Packet Scheduler use setupmgr.exe in your Deploy.cab of your Windows cd. WHen running this program select what network components you want (QoS) in your case and then finish the setup and look at teh file setup manager has created and get the lines of code you need for QoS. Hope this helps

Does anyone have a working method to skip the "do you want to turn on automatic updates screen in the oobe after windows install? I have tried skipautoupdate=1 in oobeinfo and i have alos tried the skipupdate in the winnt.sif file but no luck with either. It seems i have read somewhere in here that it is possable. Does anyone know how to do this?

just use nlite

Yes i have looked into the ATTRIB command more and if we had +H and +R it will be hidden and read only. FIRST ATTRIB +S "%systemdrive%\...folder path" THEN ATTRIB +H +R "%systemdrive%\...desktop.ini path" I test this and it gave me what i wanted. before the desktop.ini file was not hidden or read only. Let me know if it works for you too.

Yes the ATTRIB +S command worked!!! I called it with a batch file at the 9min stage of setup. i just did: ATTRIB +S "%systemdrive%\...path of folder" However i have noticed a side effect. all the icons on the desktop now are highlighted (the text under the icon: ie My Computer, Recycle Bin ect.) Very annoying i will have to tinker with this to see if i can prevent this from happening again. Even after i restart my computer the icon names are still highlighted. Still... Thanks for all your help!!!
