iwod, howdy...finally we'll get rid of that beta "Send feedback" message on first boot, i was even considering it as an option edit: snip

Thx both ! It has helped alot.

SolidasRock, heh...well it's crucial. Send unhacked slipstreamed,compressed on my mail, i'll see what can be done. (you can get my email from nlite)

I just saw this. Well...nlite is not removing anything connected to uxtheme, but to be sure see on cd in i386 is there uxtheme.dl_ and in services see if Themes Support is running. In those two screenshots first one is classic themed, i don't see any part of sentinel. Sometimes these things get fixed by restoring luna theme...maybe that's the thing that corrupted your themes. (but this is not common problem) Once i had similiar experience when deleting some critical folders and applying massive reg tweaks. As i always recommend...try reducing clean windows, without any tweaks or addons, try it in virtual machine, if it works then you can debug your tweaks. (you can remove luna theme if you're not using it) And sfc can only get on the way...you can disable it.

Marztabator, yeah, nJoy...about zipfldr, i haven't cracked anything, just deleted it and cleared the hives. Probably the trick is that this it's done before install so it isn't integrated in installation (registered).

I'll try yours later, can't right now. Mine was: -N -U -no-emul-boot -b boot.bin -hide boot.bin If you think on program i used, it was cdimage, no can do, only for ms internal. edit: Jotnar, great, will check it.

In searching for iso making utility for nlite due to copyright issues, I have chosen mkisofs, contacted the author and he gave me a green light. But, there is many attributes for it and not all are welcomed. Currently there is a long file name issue...it's trimming long file names and sometimes doesn't save the character properly, like ~ sign. Lets say -U trigger solves character bugs but long filenames still gets trimmed (tried -J)...if someone is using this utility without any problem with windows cds please post your command line. Thx.

Look in nLite's forum, especially the posts by Jeronimo http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=148984

Oo the sound of the evil voice is with us again I hope you had a good time. Well...i didn't thought to compress the cabs, i thought to compress the files with upx before cabbing them, so that when windows gets installed and they etract the cabs installation shoulb be smaller. But if you say that it can cause trouble then i'll delay it as long as possible...i have more important issues to fix right now.

Hm... I haven't, but it's a good idea, actually that can be a nice addition to the options...how much is the difference compared to the cabs, or there is a difference only on final install ?

Indent files are used by the windows to confirm the present version, something like that. You can find them in a root of cd, or in the directory in which you just slipstreamed service pack. You can test it with slipstreaming...just delete the .sp1 or .sp2 file and you can slipstream again...stupid ha. Other than missing files, second issue is with upcasting...meaning make them in capital letters.

Alanoll, ok, thx about the info, just i have something to add. I'm using this and it works (environment variable used) HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce","label",0x00020000,"%%systemroot%%\inf\file.ext" Maybe that's because it's in hivedef and applied on first logon. edit: I overlooked "CUSTOM value", not environment...apologies (it's those %% that triggered me). Lets leave the post for him to see how to use environment variable

LOL

Or if you want it really unattendently, even without regs, then extract i386\netwzc.in_ and edit: to Later recompress it with makecab and overwrite the original.

chezy666, it seems ok, but i do have a question. Is 0x00010001 Value a REG_DWORD, and +...02 it doesn't overwrite the value, like yours 0x00010003 ? (i'm not sure in that) And is it really necessary to convert in hex (e.g. "1500" to 0x5DC) ?

Only two components that i know of are connected to user menu...picture viewer and terminal services...keep them and you can remove everything else except experimentals.

CypherBit, i remove it all the time and it never frozes, but ok, i'll take your problem into consideration. You could post this into nlite forum, i would warn you of picture viewer right away.

This is very useful for someone who wants to make a generic hacking machine...someone Thx

Extract the drivers, then in directory where is IP4_1.msi package run this: start MSIEXEC.EXE /i "IP4_1.msi" MM="MM" REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /q Rename IP4_1.msi into the file you find similiar.

Rudi1, try this Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile] "EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000 "DisableNotifications"=dword:00000000

There you go, enjoy @echo off for /f %%i in (Buildno.txt) do set BUILDNO=%%i echo Line5 = Internal XP Build Number: %BUILDNO% pause edit: thread, look at the time, 3 minutes, i was writing it while you posted it

@Alanoll, you're right, and you have more experience with these things. I humbly close it. @MAVERICKS CHOICE, try now and if it still doesn't work,try here And Rudi1's. @Rudi1, thanx Thread closed...continue discussion here. Thank you.

Weird...i redownloaded it without any problem, try with download managers next time. I did it without any.

@bonedaddy, thanx Well, if i got it right, you think it's wise to close this topic ? I started another one because this one is getting too big and unreadable for a beginner, but let's leave it for general discussion.
