Still having a question about this : I added this key, which is supposed to show the options (domain, shut down...) on the logon screen. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] ... ... "ShowLogonOptions"=dword:00000001 I just added the "ShowLogonOptions"=dword:00000001 after the other lines, but the options do not show on the logon screen. Is there another registry setting for that ? Thanks again !

Very good answer, thanks a lot !

OK, I found the solution ! I was right in my first post, when I talked about the "KeyboardLayout" setting in [unattended]. The problem is that I had not the correct value for this setting, because the Layout for my Keyboard "Français - Belgique" contains the special character "ç". I checked in the txtsetup.sif file, and the correct string was "Fran‡ais - Belgique". The "‡" is ASCII code 135, which in standard extended ASCII maps to "ç"... Well, I never really understood this mapping problem, but I believe that this character's code is interpreted differently by Windows and by the Textmode system...

Hi all ! When the RIS installation process is over, I am presented with a login screen with values for login / domain set to "Administrator" and "Local computer". Is it possible to set these values in my .sif file (at least the "Domain") to a different user, and to my D domain ? Thanks a lot !

Thanks for your answer. I might try to find a suitable registry tweak ! No, actually I am just installing a French version of WinXP, but these versions include French (Canada), French (France), French (Belgium), etc... It looks like the default behaviour for keyboard autdetection during textmode setup is to detect any AZERTY keyboard as French (France), without further investigation... Just a guess, of course. I'm still interested in better solution, but thanks for your tip !

Hi all ! I have successfully changed my SIF file to configure the WinXP installation with my Regionnal Settings : Belgium (French). [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=0000080c UserLocale=0000080c InputLocale=080c:0000080c The only problem is that after the installation there is a Language Toolbar with both "French (Belgium)" and "French (France)" available. I suppose that "French (France)" was automatically installed during textmode setup (auto-detected ?), ands I don't want this keyboard layout to be present. How can I instruct the installer NOT to install this Keyboard Layout, or to remove it ? I know that there is a "KeyboardLayout" setting in [unattended], but when I try to use it I have an error about an entry not present in txtsetup.sif. I don't have a txtsetup.sif file, and I don't really understand what should be included in it... Any idea ? Thanks a lot !

Great instructions, believe me !
