Small progress
adding these lines made the "small icons on start menu" stick - but not the rest
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2]
"Settings"=hex:28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,06,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3c,00,00,00,1e,\
00,00,00,fe,ff,ff,ff,e4,03,00,00,02,05,00,00,02,04
,00,00/ SwedenXP - still a bit
- but optimistic!

Thanx for all the good advice... but so far I still have the same problems
Feels like these tweaks doesn´t stick to the default profile and for that reason are not incorporated in my admin profile (which is the only one I have).

Alanoll - on 2 places... In my case this worked just fine upto SP2 - after that...
Cartooninte - of course! The problems are as follows - On my start menue, I loose the "show small icons" and "hide the toolbar" options. And the quicklaunch bar has to be pulled out. This happends on every reboot, so my idea is that these tweaks has not been added to the default profile or my admin profile (which is the only profile).
The commands.com, setuser.reg, quicklaunch.reg, regtweaks.reg are the same as before SP2. And I will include my services.reg...
Suggestions are appreciated.

I find them where I wrote... And thats the point.
If I find them, "auto-generated", why do I have to generete them myself and add them to my svcpack.inf under [ProductCatalogsToInstall]? As mentioned in the original first post and some answers...
/ SwedenXP, still
0 -
Yeah, I can acccept that.
But the .cat file seems to be generated anyway into a catalog ie. C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB834707\update.
In there I find the KB834707.CAT. And so on for every update I have done via my svcpack.inf

do?
I get my unattended XPProSP2 + all updates to work anyway...
Suggestions please.

3 C:\ drives? Is that equivalent of a split personality??? (sorry for the joke)
My suggestions is that You;
Keep Windows om C:\Windows
Keep Your programs on C:\Programs
And if You want Your Documents and Setting on a seperat drive do so (ie D:\Documents and Settings).
Good luck

You make good sence MCT - I might try NLite - just fo fun B)
And too hp38guser - nice tip, but I already use diskeeper regularly!

Dear Mr MCT - thanx fro Your good advices...
But I have managed quite allright without NLite before. I really belive it´s a wonderfol tool.
The question is; Is the performance of a XP Pro SP2 worse than XP Pro SP1 + all updates?
The cleaning out of 100´s of MB sounds good, but I have no HD space problems...

After slipstreaming SP2 into my original XP Pro cd and adding the same programs and drivers as I added to my "old unattended cd" I formatted and installed - everything worked just great
But the machine really feels slower now
Any suggestions ladies and gentlemen?
Hugs and kisses from a coooold Sweden.

Could it be a matter of "ECHO" ´s
Here is a piece of my main_batch.cmd
CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
ECHO Installing IrfanView 3.95
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\IrfanView\Iview395.exe /silent /folder="c:\program\irfanview" /desktop=0 /group=1 /allusers=0 /assoc=1
ECHO.
ECHO Installing IrfanView Plugins
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\IrfanView\plugins395.exe /silent
ECHO.
ECHO Installing WinRAR 3.42
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\WinRAR\winrar342.exe /s
ECHO.
EXITAnd the main_batch.cmd is called from the winnt.sif like this
[GUIRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\Install\main_batch.cmd/ SwedenXP B)

Dear Mr prathapml. I do believe that Your are right! ReGet Deluxe is cool
But I think I´ll settle for ReGet Pro...
Hopefully it´s possible to integrate it in the "unattended xp pro cd"
And when I have learned all it´s tricks - I´ll be really happy
BigThanx

I hope this is the right place to ask this question... I usually attend the "Unattended Windows" forum - and I like it!
After installing my Unattended WinXPPROSP2+updates cd I have had trouble with my downloadmanager (Download Accelerator Plus - DAP) and I would like a suggestion for another, new, better, fully functional downloadmanager.
So please, ladies and gentlemen give this request Your best shot
Thanx in advance

It´s much easier to compress your favorites into an .exe file with winrar and run it from main_batch.cmd lite this;
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Favoriter\Favoriter.exeAt least, that is what I do, and it works for me.
An alternative program that works very well for favorites, mailaccounts and mailfolders is Outlook Express Backup Genie - tried it and I like it.
