I have UnattendSwitch="0" in my winnt.sif, but the **** video still shows... might it be another of my settings that interfere with this ?? Here's a snip from my winnt.sif: [Unattended] AutoActivate = No DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore Hibernation = No NoWaitAfterGuiMode = 1 NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1 OemSkipEula="Yes" OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Det4523\" OemPreinstall="Yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWS UnattendMode=DefaultHide UnattendSwitch="Yes" WaitForReboot="No" Any ideas now ?? And oh yeah, speaking of users... is there a way to enable the default 'Add users' screen that pops up if you install XP "normally" ?? other than the cmdlines.txt-type method I mean... I want to be able to add a default user, log in as "him" and then install the .reg tweaks and so forth... but maybe that's material for another thread
