/me looks at albator in dismay.... This is definitely a post I would NEVER thought you could come up with @aemxt Read the "Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003" threads here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Unattended_Windo...P_2003_f70.html and the nLite threads here: http://www.msfn.org/board/nLite_f89.html to get you started. In either case, make sure you have a full backup of the files you want to preserve, be it on a different partition on your hard-disk, an external hard-disk, or even CD's / DVD's. If you run into any problems, just come back here and ask. Oh, and welcome to msfn
