Ive tried use a reg file to duplicate these settings but I try they do not work. regedit says it has been entered successfully but it doesnt show up at all even after reboot so when i install windows all over again i dont want to uncheck a bunch of boxes every time the pic on the left is the focus but the middle and right are the settings i want to include in my unattended installation disk here are the supposedly keys associated with these settings: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\7\Shell] "ScrollPos800x600(1).y"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags\1\Shell] "ScrollPos800x600(1).y"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache] "@C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mycomput.dll,-400"="Mana≥" "@C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\SHELL32.dll,-8503"="S&earch..."
