The only one that i can see that i'd consider immediately suspect is: ;Adds "Empty Recycling Bin" to the right click menu [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}] @="Empty Recycle Bin" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin] @="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin] @="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin] @="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Empty Recycle Bin] @="{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" Due to the location 'contextmenuhandlers', i hope it isn't an unwanted side effect. laze.

Hi, http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/65/ I've added the modified file to my I386 directory, i used the XP Service Pack 2 file, not the XP Service Pack 2 with KB??????? (which may i add is misleading, does it mean if you have any critical update applied at all you should use it instead of the non-KB file?) How can i confirm it's worked/working?

Hi, Thank you blinkdt, i'll give it a go and as you mention, report back with my findings.

Hi, I am still having the same problem. I will test the *.dll on a fresh installation and report back.

Hello, This did not work. I added it to my hkcu.reg file that's executed by cmdlines.txt. It did not have the desired result, the start-menu items i've never ran were still present on first and second logon. laze.

Hi Shark007, I hope this is isolated to my Virtual machine. Windows Live Messenger takes an unusually long time to load... a painfully long time actually. laze.

No No. This can't be set as 'global' setting. It is an indivudual setting assigned to each passport used/created. Even though you disable it from the options menu, the next passport loaded will get the annoying popup. This setting is assigned to a registration key that gets created as you create your passport login information.shark Hi, Could you provide the registry entry, if imported into current_user using cmdlines.txt it should take to all users, correct? laze.

Hi, Does the addition of /F force deletion, because certain icons of mine are proving a little rebellious. laze.

Hi Shark007, Two questions: 1. Does the messenger window pop-up when you logon? 2. Have you disabled the daily news pop-up you get each time you load messenger?

Solution - use the industry standard PDF reader.

Hello MGadAllah, Because it's messy to leave them there? On first boot (or second if such a registry entry requires a reboot to take) i want my start-menu to look unused, clean, as if it hasn't been used. With 3 programs listed as recently run it doesn't so i want them removed. Anyone?

Hello, After my unattended installation completes, i have 3 items listed as favourites on my start-menu... Files and Settings Transfer Wizard Windows Movie Maker Windows Media Player Is there anyway i can clear these items, i don't want to disable the favourites feature but perhaps there's a regedit that clears the list? Please advise.

Thank you very much.

Hello, I'm not sure how to interpret "I think you're talking to the wrong guy, but you make a good point" RyanVM. Camarade Tux, I understand exactly what you're getting at. Duplicate shortcuts referenced as a single entry could well be the cause - I will look into this. The registry tweak you mention - I do not have such a tweak applied. Thanks.

Hi, Thank you shaggy, you were right! cluberti, the title of my post was purely a bit of 'fun' and unfortunately i don't have the time to read MSDN as extensively as i'd like to.

Hi, Are you being serious, or funny? I'll give it a go and report back.

How strange.

Hello, I have numerous registry tweaks, but none to change my Start-Menu to classic, yet it still happens. Can anyone spot the registry tweak below that may be having the undesired effect?

Hi Ryan, I'm not using the *.DLL and registry to duplicate the tweak. I've removed the *.DLL and i now have no 'Copy To... Move To...' options at all after install.

Hi, I've attempted to install .NET v3.0 using the below: REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D ".NET Framework v3.0" /f REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\microsoft\net\dotnet_v3.0.exe /q" /f However, it does not show in Add/Remove and is not present in the Microsoft.NET folder within System32. I did install it using the /q switch before i added it to my RunOnceEx and it worked fine, so i'm quite confused as to why it hasn't worked :-/.

His most recent post contains a valid link. laze.

Ryan has v1.1 and v2.0 switchless .NET installers.

Hello, I've many registry tweaks, most of which work, however the below one does not. ;Disable Hibernate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Power] "Heuristics"=hex:05,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,3f,42,0f,00 It is imported during cmdlines.txt from hklm.reg, I have checked the registry it is imported correctly, it just don't appear to be a valid tweak. If you have this tweak and it's entered into the registry different to the above (successfully), please post it. Regards, laze.

Does anyone have a link to a switchless installer for .NEt v3.0? laze.
