Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to protect a CD/DVD with a password when booting from DOS and Auto Booting in windows. I have searched the net and found some programmes that will protect in windows but you are not able to boot from in DOS. Im just curious if this can be done. The 911 boot cd creator can password the bootprocess but the files are accessible from windows. CryptCD 5 can encrypt the cd so that the disk is not accessible in windows, but is not bootable. Any Ideas please. Regards John

Many thanks, ive been searching the sysdm.cpl for ages but could not find it using a hex editor. the ResHack is a fine utilty. Thanks again.. Regards John

Hi, To date I have not been able to put a final tweak on my installation cd. I would like to be able to change the text on the [system Properties] [General] tab. When you have OEMLOGO.bmp and OEMINFO.ini in the system32 folder, you see the text "Manufactured and supported by:" above the logo. Is there a way to edit this text or delete it? Regards John

Not Blind, Can Read, Can't find what i,m looking for. I looked at the Sticky Topics and yes, there are some reg tweaks iI require in the topics files but not all. To date I havn't seen a Tweak that will Auto Arrange Icons on the desktop. or Set the powerscheme to presentation. Now, Without sounding rude, do you have anything more constructive to say or is it easier to point out the not quite so obvious? Regards John

Hi All I'm looking to add a few tweaks to my cmdlines.txt. any help at all would be great. 1. Arrange icons by on desktop " AutoArrange" 2. Show internet Explorer Icon on Desktop 3. Set Power Scheme to Presentation Regards John

Many Thanks Most helpful. Kind Regards John

Hi, 1st question I have a RunOnceEx.cmd file which I want to point to the Applications on my systemdrive. Where in the $OEM$ folder do I put my folder "Apps" so that it is copied to %systemdrive%\Apps 2nd question Is there a list of registry entries that can be used in the cmdlines.txt file for fine tweaking. Regards John

Thanks Folks. Most helpful. is there a list of registry edits that can be used i the cmdlines.txt file Regards John

Hi, Not quite what I wanted. Maybe I didn't phrase things right. I want to be able to set the desktop background image to show no image rather than selecting display properties and changing manually. "Not the images of my installation process". Good reply though, i will use that some other time. Regards John

HI Really new to this so take it easy on me. How do I create a command lines text file to set the background image of my desktop during install. This is just one of many tweaks I wish to adjust but If I see how to do one I may get the hang of it to atempt the rest. I use nlite to integrate service packs and hotfixes but it has limited tweaks. Kind regards John

The CD Key for reference is a blocked key used by OEM Professionals for preinstallations and testing purposes. you cannot activate and require a genuine cd key. Sorry

I would like to add some other tweaks to my unatended installation winnt.sif file shown below. Where in this file would I put something like "screensaverdisable" "set power options to Presentation" "Show My network places on desktop" etc, are there any good sites that will give a list of all interchangeable options for the winnt.sif file.
