I just found most of the settings I was looking to change in the registry tweaks thread, so I guess you can consider this moot now.

I personally use MDAC 2.8 rather than 2.7SP1. If you do that, just use "dasetup.exe" instead of "dahotfix.exe". MDAC 2.8 isn't affected by that last security hole and WindowsUpdate doesn't mind it being installed

Or you could just do a self extracting exe that silently extracts itself

I'm trying to add to my batch file the registry entries needed to remove some icons (Like "My Music") and make things like the Control Panel expand themselves. I've figured out which keys control this (yay for Advanced Registry Monitor ), but the problem is that they lie in the HKCU area under those user-specific sections. I've thought about putting the changes under .DEFAULT, but I'm don't think that would help the current user. Is there any way you guys know of to determine this registry key for the current user to in order to make the necessary changes? Thanks!
