They look very cool Thanatos Can you do some 'alternative' ones for win2k3? As terminator3 said the target paths can be edited with Resource Hacker i didnt change them as i was just playing around and just wanted to see what images people would make to make it worth while.

Here, just made a setup screen. Put it together with some pretty basic tools but i thought someone might be interested or want to edit it/tweak it to their liking maybe. You might recognise the two girls in the image i think... Link: <upload in progress>

I was just playing around yesterday with some old Whistler BETA cd's and seeing if there was anything i could remove with Resource Hacker (image etc) and i had a thought. The 'Autorun' menu in 2000 is rather nice and simple. Surley it would look better than the 'big colourful' teletubby type button autorun menu? It may not be 'essential' or that important but ive run out of things to modify and fiddle with. :lol I have very limited tools available to me at the moment, 'Paint' is all i have on my system (i had abobe but the CD got damaged :/) at the moment so im sure people can do better... Here is the file so edit away and post back ur changes if you have a spare few mins. Ive not made any changes to make it work with ALL the extra features of the win2k3 CD but its just a matter of editing the target paths with reshacker. Setup.rar

That's the one.... Cheers

This only copys the files, not the folders. Removing the wildcards also results in the same thing. I know im missing something obvious that im gonna kick myself for but what is it? :/ Im trying to have MozillaFirebird installed along with everything else you see.

Thats strange. I mean that tool is on MSFN's main site, download link and all.....

I have the workstation conversion that is. But i always get "Installation Failed" after a few mins when i use that command^

http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBN/tip6800/rh6821.htm Didnt work for me though - nor did the Microsoft guide either which is exactley the same. Wonder why they took down the KB article anyways... ...I guess maybe some people could have been getting confused and thinking 2003 was an ugrade to XP.

I have one to add for Windows Server 2003 Thanks to RegShot actually.

AS well as quick launch, what about the actual Start Menu. Anyone know a way to select the "Classic StartMenu" by default? :/

Thanks for that. Seems to be related too.. HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-819130938-3301966380-4059328890-500\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\srvWiz\: 0x00000000

Yes Thanks lol but what i actually meant was the registry value that changes so i can apply it via a regfile on my unattended CD. So im not greeted with that screen after its done.

Hmmm the tool your using looks interesting Install XP? Where did you find it?

Does anybody know the registry value that clicking "Do not show this at startup" sets when you dismiss the "Maintain Your Server" screen on first bootup? I want to set this OFF by default you see. *edit* I solved the wallpaper riddle. typing error - all works now. *edit*

All on one line like that? I didnt change the font to do that i just edited the images that display to the side of the text and made them VERY small and the same color as the background. *edit* Oh wait my bad, you mean WITH the side images intact too. Nevermind then.
