Thank you for your comments. I was hoping there was some way to bypass, but it looks like I'll just have to suffer through it. The suggestion to just reinstall my own unattended version would definitely solve the problem, but I think the reinstalling process would take longer time, even though I don't have to attend it directly. Thanks again.

As part of my job I setup many Retail PCs for the first time, ie I take compaqs/hps/sonys out of the packaging and get them to the desktop. I would like to be able to bypass the standard questions given on first boot, ie 'Can you hear sound?, Do you want to register with MS?, Accept EULA, Setup Internet?' I am new to unattended installs but am highly competent with computers and windows. I have done some research and I know in 'entirely unattended' installs an answer file (answer.sif?) will bypass these things, but I am unsure how to proceed when the OS is already installed. Thanks everyone on these forums for their efforts towards the goal of saving time. -Rob

>Is Bittorent realy secure? If your question is 'can someone see my IP if I use BT?' the answer is yes. BT is intended as a legal file sharing app, so no reason to hide IPs. Specifically in azureus you can go to 'peers' and you will see all the IPs that are connected to you. >Who scanned my HDD - MY ISP or 3rd Party? In general ISPs do not monitor or interact with users activities. Most likely what happened was when you tried to register the software it contacted its server to verify the registration key was correct, when it wasn't, it determined your ISP via your IP address, and sent you the scary message. If you are concerned about people accessing your computer, making sure you have an active firewall is a good first step.
