OMFG, I've Found A Miracle Cure!!! Set all of the settings that you want (ie: Desktop Icon Arrangement & Control Panel View) Then... Copy The NTUSER.DAT file (its a hidden file) to the "Default User" (again a hidden folder) under "Documents and Settings" to replace the existing file. Every time a new user is created, it will still have the same Icon Arrangement as well as Control Panel view!!! However, I have not tested this in an unattended windows install situation yet. Test it and let me know!

Well, I know I could find keys online.... but are they legit? that is the thing. The keys that I need, HAVE to be 100% legit and not disabled or blocked from microsoft.

Question: So, if I understand correctly... I can use the key from: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...y/oempreac.mspx on any Royalty OEM XP Pro system along side with the respective OEMBIOS files to preserve pre-activation... Is there a generic key for Home Ed. as well? or will the same key work for Home?

PM me

I have OEMBIOS for: Compaq - Home & Pro Dell - Home & Pro Emachine - Home HP - Home & Pro Sony - Home ATM these are all that I have aquired... Let me know if you need some help, I would love to have a CD that would auto determine what brand system is being used, and then use the correct preactivation files.

SWEET!!!!! I've been waiting for a non-runonce solution for .NET2.0 for like ever now. Great Job!

Still looking for how to make the control panel into Classic "Icon View" instead of "Detail View" like it is ATM.

Well, I'm pretty sure that andregcasal gave you the wrong info. RyanVM does NOT have any driver packs, only Update Packs. On the other hand Bashrat's Driver Packs are exactly what you are looking for.

Hmm.... the setting can get saved after it is changed.... so there must be a way..................

anybody else run into this issue?

Any ideas?

^^... Ditto Any test results? Right now I am running without the Display driver pack (would love full driver support) if someone gets to this before me, let me know the results.

how were you able to reinstall WMP10? when I try to reinstall it says that I already have a newer version, then the install stops.

Hey guys, I am using RyanVM's update packs, WMP addon (the release before this months from the 15th - 2.05 i think). I have MusicMatch Jukebox as well as some songs that I backed up before i formatted. When I try to play the music files in MusicMatch I get "Error: c00d2711, c00d2711" (apparently something about DRM. Same thing in WMP, but it just tells me that WMP is not installed correctly, and to reinstall. How can I remidy this? I have seen some other post about similar issues, but was unable to find a resolution. Please, any input is appreciated.

Right now my unattended CD is setup to have my files & folders show up in 'Detail View'. I am wondering what I need to change to make ONLY the Control Panel show up in 'Icon View'. Thanks In Advance

First of all I'd like to say 'Great Job!' with the coding for this! I also wanted to bring up that I have been having some issues trying to get this to work with BTS's Driver Packs. When I select my boot source after Text setup the system reboots & tries to load BTS files, but fails because it can't find the \OEM\BIN folder (not $OEM$). If I copy the entire OEM folder to the root of the AIO disk it works with no issues. The only drawback is that I am doing an AIO with each containing different files from BTS packs. (ex: 1 w/ LAN, 1 w/LAN, SATA and so on). Ex. DIR Structure: ***non-working*** $OEM$ Setup -English ----WINXP --------Original ------------I386 ------------OEM ***Working*** (moved OEM to root) $OEM$ Setup OEM -English ----WINXP --------Original ------------I386 ------------OEM can anyone help me to make my AIO point eich to their respective OEM folder, instead of only looking for OEM in the root of the drive? Thanks

when the new version is planned publicly? dziubek This weekend, if the bugs-god is happy. Sweet! ... Lemme know if you need me to steal more code from the future lol

PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_D104&SUBSYS_D1041106&REV_00\3&61AAA01&0&85 : Network Controller I was unable to find the above Network driver in BTS's LAN Pack, nor was I able to find a compatible match online or the manufacturers site. Maybe someone can help me find a working driver for this HWID, or could be added to the pack in the future.

Many Fruitless hours of just that, on top of that can't understand half of them because our lovely country loves to outsource to India.... Give a brotha a hand.... ....Now that (Sony) is one I didn't think about... I don't have those files

Well, I actually do own both an Emachine & Gateway... among many custom built systems.... but the first thing that I do is format the system to take all of the 'Software Packs' (aka crap) off of the system, and doing so removes the pre-activation files that I am looking for. So, I would be very greatfull if someone could help me get those pre-activation files. 2nd of all, the pre-activation files only make sure that it is a system of the same brand, usually by the BIOS/mainboard. so, the pre-activation files are universal between ALL the same branded system that originally came with XP Home & Pro, However the files are different between Home and Pro. See here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=63258# Bezalel quoted in post#7, that he was working on such a thing... but that was back in 2005, and the post seems dead to me. So, I was just wondering if anyone had ideas on how to do it. Otherwise I can do seperate CD's once I get the pre-activation files. Thanks in advance

... also was wondering... if the WINNTUPG, WIN9XUPG, WIN9XMIG were deleted, will the XP Upgrade CD still function correctly? Or will it only work for full fresh reinstalls?

Hm.. good question, I too compile the Upgrade CD's but for the life of me I can't remember if it asks for the CD or not (actually I think it doesn't if it is not a clean drive, but not sure).

Thanks, I didn't think that it was. ...And I have been to that link b4, but it didn't refer to 'DOTNETFX' so I figured I ask to be sure. Thanks Again
