cool...can;t wait to see that generator

hello, i was wondering how i can set my geforce to agp mode, it is currently in pci mode which couses the card not to perform in top condition, does any1 know ho i can switch this card to agp mode? tnx....

awsome work man.....when r u goin to add the "reg-file generator"?

if u aint payin it aint legit! :P:P:P

you could even add the option, some sort of pre-menu, to choose if you want to make the sif file for windows xp or windows2k (there aresome minor differences between win2k and xp unattended setup) and...u could add a "reg-maker" u know...with all the tweaks listed...so u just select them and hit generate! but the idea is gr8 man! u have my respect

dude ..stop it! that IS scary! than no1 want's that yearbook anymore.....

well i found another (freeware) program while i was googling it... it's called ]==-->Memtest86<--==[

interesting....can you post some script Xamples?

hello ppl....does any1 know a good/fast program that you can run (preferably in windows) to test your RAM? if you know 1..plz tell me...i cinda need it

i like ur sig Vcant and if u want i got a "s***load" of SciFi/fantasy/3d backgrounds @ 1600x1200 that i use myself...

hey! it's the first time i'm doing this s*** so i think it's pretty good of me that i came so far! but everything is working verry well...accept for adding the logoff button to the startmenu and show quicklaunch and stuff

well...tried it with the key you gave me....but that was unaffective...so i hope any1 else has a sollution...i was thinkin of policys.....but how can i automatically add policies to the system?

kpalser, if u just put the winnt.sif file on a floppy and set your cd-rom drive to 1st bootdevice in the bios, windows xp will autostart and look @ the floppydrive for an answerfile or cmdline.txt if it finds one the setup will use it (got that from unattended.doc) webmedic, i use this: (copied it from the register when i set this for an admin, tested it by putting it into the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT but that did not work nor in machine.

i did it different this time...i made a classic theme with my prefered background, saved the theme and set it as default in my winnt.sif file [Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\custom.classic.Theme" and in my script i added the line to copy the desktop.jpg and custom.classic.theme to the hdd. how can i add the logoff button to the start menu for every user? i've seen the setting for a single user...now i was wondering how to do that for all users in the windows register... (this is my finishing touch...would be nice if it will work)

tnx for the help webmedic, still gotta findout if it'll work... 1 more question; what is the registry tweak/code to set (FOR ALL USERS) windows xp to the classic style,startmenu (and logoff button in startmenu), with my own desktop.jpg ? and neo, changing the memory worked man! tnx! I removed the current dimms and replaced them with a 512MB dimm works gr8!

yes, well...this is for a standardisation of installing workstations....and i sometimes have to change the computername in the sif file....so i can;t make such a cd (my boss wants it automated AND i want to make it work like this cuz i know it;s possible ) how do you set in the [unattended] section that i want to execute script.bat from a floppy after installation before reboot? i think that;s the final thing i'm lookin for. and neo... i'm gonna check out that memory suggestion of yours, i have 4 sticks of 64MB in it...just need to "perfect" my scripts

yes, i'm loading them from a floppy.....but could i let that script run in [unattended] to?..if yes, how can i let that run from floppy?

Hello, i'm installing windows xp pro with unattended setup; but i have some errors during the 2nd stage of the setup, when setup copies some files to the HDD. Setup prompts me that it can;t find some files on the cd and that i have to push enter to retry. I have to push enter for like 5 times and then setup finds the file and continieus. also, when windows boots up "for the 1st time" i get a bleu screen and the pc automatically reboots (the bleuscreen stays for 1 second and then a reboot) after that i never see the screen anymore....accept for a registry crash i have after my scripts :S I install windows from the original cd and have the winnt.sif and my scripts on a floppy. i'l show you folks my files and i hope you guys can help me! winnt.sif ;SetupMgrTag [Data] AutoPartition = 0 MsDosInitiated ="0" UnattendedInstall = Yes LocalSourceOnCD = 1 [Unattended] UnattendMode = FullUnattended OemSkipEula = Yes OemPreinstall = No TargetPath = \WINDOWS WaitForReboot = No UnattendSwitch=Yes [GuiUnattended] AdminPassword = "masked" EncryptedAdminPassword = No OEMSkipRegional = 1 OEMSkipWelcome = 1 TimeZone = 110 [Display] BitsPerPel = 32 Vrefresh = 75 Xresolution = 1024 Yresolution = 768 [UserData] ProductKey = masked FullName = "masked" OrgName = "masked" ComputerName = Workstation1 [Identification] JoinWorkgroup = WORKGROUP [Networking] InstallDefaultComponents = Yes [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup = 1 SystemLocale = 00000409 Userlocale = 00000413 InputLocale = 0409:00000409 [Components] msmsgs = off msnexplr = off freecell = off hearts = off minesweeper = off pinball = off solitaire = off spider = off zonegames = off [Shell] DefauLtStartPanelOff = Yes DefaultThemesOff = Yes [GuiRunOnce] a:\script.bat script.bat @echo off ECHO.

when i do this...the wallpaper does not change, maybe becouse i don;t have active desktop enabled?...if so, how do i do that?

as far as i know it should be: net user User pass /add net localgroup Administrators /ADD User

as far as i know it should be: net user User pass /add net localgroup Administrators /ADD User

well..the mehtod u discribe makes the user autologin, what i need is to have 3 users (including Admin) but NOT autologin and WITH classic log-in screen....and the only way i know how to do that is using the [GuiRunOnce] option.

does this tweak: ;Broadband Tweak for Windows XP [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters] GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize="256960" TcpWindowSize="256960" Tcp1323Opts="1" DefaultTTL="64" EnablePMTUDiscovery="1" EnablePMTUBHDetect="0" SackOpts="1" TcpMaxDupAcks="2" MTU="1500" HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000020 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000020 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000020 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000020 Work for win2k to?

use a .vbs script and call that in your guirunonce; script looks like this: Option Explicit ' On Error Resume Next Dim objComputer, objGroup, objUser, objWSHNetwork, strComputerName, strFullName, strPassword, strUserName Set objWSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") strComputerName = objWSHNetwork.ComputerName Set objComputer = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputerName) Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputerName & "/Administrators") strUserName = "username" strFullName = "full name" strPassword = "password" Set objUser = objComputer.Create("User", strUserName) objUser.SetPassword strPassword objUser.FullName = strFullName objUser.SetInfo objGroup.Add "WinNT://" & strComputerName & "/" & strUserName objUser.SetInfo Those " " have to stay..but i guess you figured that out allready

but how do you set the same wallpaper for all users on the XP machine after you installed it? i have an unattended WinXP Pro installation that adds 2 new users after the install, i want ALL the users on the machine to use the same .JPG background....how do i do that with a register script? (i'm looking for that answer for 2 days now...and hope to find it here)
