Still no luck on the creation of the User account. I'm made all the changes suggested by others (thanks for all the help so far!). XP completes the installation and all the software works but I'm still logged in as Administrator. I can manually create the account and get into the system but I was hoping to get over this one last hurdle. Please read my earlier posts in this thread and see if anyone can find my mistake. TIA!

My bad, i didn't list the location of the Reg_Root_Tweaks.reg file. It is in the Install folder along with all my other reg files and the application.cmd file. I still have to manually create the User account. I tried the help offered by Twisted Maniac but it didn't work (thanks for trying). I've got everything else working, even added Alcohol 120% and the modified Winntbbu.dll (jlo) file. I don't see a typing error so it must be something in the way the files are located or the order of the commands in the files. Hope someone can point me in the right direction... Glad CD-r's are cheap...

Hmmm, must be doing something wrong. The installation went well but upon booting I get an error message stating "The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct". Under Control Panel | Users the User account is not there. I created the account manually and the system boots fine. I've listed my four files and seperated them with a line. (the seperating line is not in my file) I would appreciate if someone could look these over and spot my mistake. Here are my files... Winnt.sif located in the i386 folder: ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition=0 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" [unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Audio;Drivers\Video" [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="*" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=20 OemSkipWelcome=1 [userData] ProductID=***** (key not listed) FullName="User" OrgName="None" ComputerName="Computer" [Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768 Vrefresh=70 [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 [identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes [GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\install\applications.cmd ______________________________________________ cmdlines.txt located in the $oem$ folder: ".\user.cmd" ______________________________________________ User.cmd located in the $oem$ folder: CLS @ECHO OFF ECHO Adding Default User... net user User /add net localgroup "administrators" User /add ECHO.

Thanks to b0r3d and webmedic for their quick help. Within 10 minutes of my post my questions are answered. I've got my slipstreamed XP cd burned and am currently installing XP. I really appreciate your help.

I just started learning about slipstreaming XP installation and have successfully created a CD to install XP, Drivers, Reg Tweaks, and my apps (Nero, Winrar, Acrobat Reader 6, and NaV). Two problems still plague me. 1. After installation of Winrar I need my rarreg.key file copied to my Winrar folder on the hard drive. This is the command I use... ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.20 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\WinRAR\wrar320.exe /s ECHO. ECHO Copying WinRar Registration Key... COPY "%systemdrive%\Install\rarreg.key" "%systemroot%\Program files\Winrar" The rarreg.key is in the $OEM$\$1\Install folder. The error message is "Cannot find path specified". I thought %systemroot% variable is C:\ 2. I tried to follow the instructions provided by WebMedic for creating a User account but it didn't work. Probably because I don't understand what files are needed and where they should go. A more detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
