is there a registry entery to turn the view to icons and remove the arrange in groups. i used regshot to try and trace registry changes but no luck.

during the unattended stage i copy a vbs script that i'll show you in a minute to systemroot than in the registry tweaks i add the following key let's call it qlaunch [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "qlaunch"="%systemroot%\qlaunch.vbs" this script will delete itself and the registry entery after execution set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run "control.exe" Wscript.Sleep 5000 WshShell.AppActivate "Control Panel" Wscript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "^{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "^{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Wscript.Sleep 2000 WshShell.SendKeys "t" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "t" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Wscript.Sleep 2500 WshShell.AppActivate "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" Wscript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "%q" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Wscript.Sleep 5000 WshShell.AppActivate "Control Panel" Wscript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" Wscript.Sleep 600 WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" Wscript.Sleep 2500 WshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}" Wscript.Sleep 1000 WshShell.RegDelete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\qlaunch" dim filesys, demofile set filesys = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set demofile = filesys.CreateTextFile ("%systemroot%\qlaunch.vbs", true) set demofile = filesys.GetFile("%systemroot%\qlaunch.vbs") demofile.Delete

yes but what does this profile include ? my personal info my personal settings? maybe something else

what is this profile and what information does it contain? thanks in advance

download active registry monitor than run it after a clean windows installation make all your prefered settings than run it again than compare with the program the two registry scans and save all the added and changed registry enteries. and that's it you have a reg file containing all your preferences.

about the via 4in1 drivers 1.open notepad and pase the following: [installShield Silent] Version=v5.00.000 File=Response File [File Transfer] OverwriteReadOnly=NoToAll [DlgOrder] Dlg0=SdWelcome-0 Count=7 Dlg1=SdLicense-0 Dlg2=AskOptions-0 Dlg3=AskOptions-1 Dlg4=AskOptions-2 Dlg5=AskOptions-3 Dlg6=RebootDialog-0 [sdWelcome-0] Result=1 [sdLicense-0] Result=1 [AskOptions-0] Result=1 Sel-0=1 Sel-1=0 [AskOptions-1] Result=1 Sel-0=1 Sel-1=1 Sel-2=1 [AskOptions-2] Result=1 Sel-0=1 Sel-1=0 [AskOptions-3] Result=1 Sel-0=1 Sel-1=0 [RebootDialog-0] Result=0 Choice=0 name the file setup.iss and place it in the same folder as the via executable and execute the hyperion setup file from one of the batch files like so(for the example let's assume the file is called setup.exe and it's placed in the via4in1 folder) start /wait %systemdrive%\install\via4in1\setup.exe /s /a /s /f1"%systemdrive%\install\via4in1\setup.iss" as for the catalyst control panel i'm not sure cuse i have nvidia vga card but if the control panel executable is in the installshield format you can execute it with the -R switch in the end it will generate at the systemroot directory file called setup.iss as with the via4in1 and than u will have to put the setup.iss in the same directory as the ati control panel installation and use the same command format as with the via4in1 shown above and execute it from one of the batch files(i personally did it with nvidia control panel and it worked) HOPE I COULD HELP

i wanted to know if it;s possible to prevent the installation of outlook express adress book and to disable windows synchronization through unattended setup (i know about the components section in winnt.sif but i think it's not possible to disable these components with this method) thanks in advance
