[Typical Microsoft]

[Gosh's Unattended Tips And Tricks]

change this section in your theme file

[VisualStyles]

Path=%ResourceDir%\Themes\Cbfield\Cbfield.msstyles

ColorStyle=NormalColor

Size=NormalSize

there are regkeys too but theyre not essential

i would recommend changing this key for a classic login and shutdown theme

HKU,.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager,DllName,0x20000,"%windir%\resources\themes\Cbfield\Cbfield.msstyles"

edit :: or add it if it dont exist

[Hotfixes For Windows XP Professional SP1]

aaron your guides missing the ntoskrnl.exe in dosnet.inf ooops

also when i extract the rollup with the /x switch i dont get the update.exe.. just the KB826939.cat, update.inf and update.ver ..now im confussled which way to go with it.. spose i can just use the KB826939.cat and rename the hotfix to KB826939.exe and slipstream the usual way.. no worries

ill go the update folder way .. saves me 9mb's

[Gosh's Unattended Tips And Tricks]

rename a copy of luna.theme in windows\resources\themes, edit it with notepad, copy it to $$\resources\themes and add this in winnt.sif

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\filename.Theme"

change filename to whatever you called it

[Xp Customization Guide]

oops i think i found it in shell32.dll

edit :: nope.. still no luck

[Xp Customization Guide]

heres a handy link

http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/logo_scr.html

right at the bottom is the gina hack

[Xp Customization Guide]

contains the bitmaps for the shutdown dialog logo that appears after this one and the classic logon logo.. the above is the only one i havent got rid of..

a word of warning.. you can only use a hacked msgina.dll with a reg tweak.. otherwise windows wont boot

[Xp Customization Guide]

this is the git

god **** annoying.. managed hacking the msgina.dll but cant find this one

[Xp Customization Guide]

how about customizing the classic login and shutdown dialogs.. them logos get on my tits

surprised you can type with no eyes.. you using a braille keyboard or sumink

[Gosh's Registry Files]

why not use a command like this to process all reg files in a folder

for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\Tweaks\*.reg) do REGEDIT /S %%i

this'll work in cmdlines.txt and guirunonce.. dont even have to cd into the folder as the variable %%i contains the full path and filename of the reg file

just a thought

i use it for my hotfixes .. 3 lines of code to do all hotfixes .. nice

edit :: might be better to use this

for %%i in (%systemdrive%\install\Tweaks\*.reg) do start /wait REGEDIT /S %%i

dont want the machine to overload processing 100 reg files at once

[Servicepack 2 Build 1213]

i heard its a little more than hotfixes.. thats why sp2's been pushed back till mid 2004.. supposedly its going to have a better firewall and antivirus built in

[Servicepack 2 Build 1213]

what rollup lol .. ill prolly reinstall by then

[Servicepack 2 Build 1213]

speaking of build 1240 .. have a look at this mysterious update

http://www.warp2search.net/modules.php?nam...ticle&sid=14845

im running it with no probs so far

[Question About Reg Keys]

im using the reg command directly from cmdlines.txt.. e.g:

REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000004 /f

[Other Folders for $OEM$]

dont know if anyone mentioned this but anything you put in \$OEM$\$$ folder gets copied to windir.. for instance to install fonts put them in \$OEM$\$$\Fonts

[Real Men Dont Click!]

i thought it was a joke.. i clicked n nowt appened lol

[Setup.iss Question]

yep

http://documentation.installshield.com/rob...m_variables.htm

For example, when InstallShield Developer is installed, it is placed by default in the following folder: PROGRAMFILES\InstallShield\InstallShield Developer

i suppose a big hint is theres no %'s and possibly case sensitive

let us know if it worked

[I can't install Soundblaster Live drivers silently]

The /a switch causes Setup.exe to perform an administrative installation. An administrative installation copies (and uncompresses) your data files to a directory specified by the user, but does not create shortcuts, register COM servers, or create an uninstallation log.

hmmm probably better off without it
