@RyanVM Why would I need to provide any more information? Yzöwl Provided me with an answer that worked Hence why I said... Plus, not sure what happend about the refreshing, I never keep an internet page open for that long, but i'm 100% certain I didnt see any replies when I replied!

@ gunsmokingman Not sure how you mean? @ exrcizn I can't see why It wouldn't work? How do you mean you don't use this method? you mean you've applied the settings I'm trying to from your reg file, and it works?

.inf didnt work... looks like runonce is the only way!

True, I hope not, as these settings require a restart before taking effect. Although I guess it wouldn't be that bad. I'm just going to test the .inf file now, if that doesn't work I'll look at adding the tweaks to the registry via RunOnce. cheers for the input guys!

Ok, so basically, any settings applied during the T-12 stage will be applied to the Default User, thus All Users that are created after it will also apply to? I'm trying to add it to an .inf file to be added during Text Mode setup... I'll post back if it works.

@ Grex I've tried that! @exrcizn Ok, I've attached the .reg tweak file. Here is a list of the Tweaks that dont seem to work (might I add; that they DO work if I apply it after installation, but this isn't convienient!) ; Remove 'Links' Folder From Favorites [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar] "Locked"=dword:00000001 "LinksFolderName"="" ; DISABLE Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "MinAnimate"="0" ; DISABLE Show translucent selection rectangle [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000000 ; DISABLE Slide Taskbar Buttons [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000 ; DISABLE Use Background Image for Each Folder Type [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000 ; DISABLE Use Shadows [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "ListviewShadow"=dword:00000000 ; DISABLE Smooth Scrolling [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "SmoothScroll"="0" ; DISABLE Dragging of Full Windows [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "DragFullWindows"="0" ; ENABLE Font Smoothing [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothing"="2" "FontSmoothingType"="1" ; DISABLE... ; Fade or slide menus into view ; Fade or slide tooltips into view ; Fade out menu items after click ; Show shadows under menus [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "UserPreferencesMask"=hex:B0,12,03,80 ; Change Fonts to Trebuchet MS [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] "IconFont"=hex:F5,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,54,00,72,00, 65,00,62,00,75,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,74,00,20,00,4D,00,53,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "MenuFont"=hex:F5,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,54,00,72,00, 65,00,62,00,75,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,74,00,20,00,4D,00,53,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "MessageFont"=hex:F5,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,54,00,72,00, 65,00,62,00,75,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,74,00,20,00,4D,00,53,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "SmCaptionFont"=hex:F5,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,BC,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,54,00,72,00, 65,00,62,00,75,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,74,00,20,00,4D,00,53,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00 "StatusFont"=hex:F5,FF,FF,FF,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,54,00,72,00, 65,00,62,00,75,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,74,00,20,00,4D,00,53,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,0 0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00

Ok, I have a .reg file that is executed from a batch file that is ran at T-12 during setup. Some of the reg tweaks are applied to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER, others HKLM, though after install some of the reg tweaks havnt worked? (I've executed my reg file after install before, and all the reg tweaks work) My question is, for settings that are applied to the Local User what should I do in order for them to be applied?

Hey guys calm down, When I was reading this topic I had no replies at the time of me replying... Obviously two people replied whilst my window was open. Cheers for the input fellas!

anyone?

When is CMDOW copied to system32? As, cmdlines.txt calls a batch file during install, that contains... "cmdow @ /HID" During the install, the command prompt window says its an unrecognised command... So I added this to the batch file @echo off SetLocal enableextensions SET CDROM=%~d0 COPY /Y "%CDROM%\$OEM$\$$\system32\cmdow.exe" "%systemroot%\system32\" cmdow @ /HID To manually copy it... thing is, is I still see the command prompt window pop up for a second, as it copies it.

ok, I've found loads of reg tweaks using that regshot. But theres still two i can't find... 1. Time to display list of Operating Systems 0 seconds. 2. Time to display list of Recovery Options 0 seconds.

Can someone post a link or a detailed guide on how to intergrate all the parts for windows update? It seems to be the only thing i have to do after runnning my unattended disc!

I'm getting there, but Regshot doesnt seem to be that much help when it comes to the visual settings...

I've edited out what i've found... The rest in the post i'm still none-the-wiser! Just getting a copy of RegShot, ill give that a go.

@ elajua I have! I spent all morning trawling through registry tweaks... by snapshot, I wouldnt know where to look to compare in the first place? I've tried getting programs that log registry settings as they are changed but can't find any... (hint hint)

Hey, i'm extremely interested in this project, what problems are you dealing with atm, I may be of some assistance... Ant

ok, i've searched an eliminated a fair chunk, but still a load I can't find...

Hey, I'd like to know the registry settings for all of the following pretty please... SYSTEM SETTINGS 1. Time to display list of Operating Systems 0 seconds. 2. Time to display list of Recovery Options 0 seconds.

How do I... Remove Outlook Express Pinned icon from Start menu... (Reg tweak) Remove "Display Settings" red cross from taskbar (double click to allow windows change the screen res)

nlhive.inf and nlite.in_ doesnt contain any autologin information. I have no other auto login in any batch or registry files!?

argh!!!! It's not working!!! AddUSer.cmd cmdow @ /HID @echo off SET AdminUser=Antonio SET AdminPass=******** NET user %AdminUser% %AdminPass% /add NET localgroup Administrators %AdminUser% /add NET accounts /maxpwage:unlimited REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "DefaultUserName" /d "%AdminUser%" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "DefaultPassword" /d "%AdminPass%" /f REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v "AutoAdminLogon" /d "5" /f EXIT Just doesn't work

STICKY STICKY STICKY

Thank you very very much!

Suppose I'll have to use that method then! Is there no way of using the original administrator account just renamed?

ok here's the winnt.sif. I dont want to create an additional administrator account. I would like the original one renamed and auto login... @ Boardbabe Is this what your script does? cheers.
