I have all my registry tweak 1 one .reg file. Just wondering if it's a good idea to import my registry tweaks in the SVCPACK.inf. 1. What's more preferred place to import the tweaks in SVCPACK.inf or CMDLINE.txt? Both equal? 2. The files in $OEM$ distribution does all file need to adhere to the 8.3 naming convention to work properly? 3. Does the below registry actually going to benefit modern day PC's? e.g. Q9550, P5Q...etc or PII 940, DS4H...etc ; Allows boot files to be placed optimally on the hard-drive for faster boots [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction] "Enable"="Y" [s]; Prefetcher tweak (faster booting) boot and program prefetch use 00000003 or Boot only 00000002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003[/s] XP default is 3 already. ; Faster reboot time [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "EnableQuickReboot"="1" Thanks

Just wondering if it's also possible to add the batch to the end of svcpack.inf to add the reg tweaks?

Just wondering is installing a runtime pack (.cab) the same as installing couple of switchless installs eg Java? Which runtimes are recommened to be installed to avoid trouble later on? Is it a good idea to install a pack like this? http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?...;highlight=java Thanks

Thanks for the tips. Are these tweaks nessesary? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003 - will it really boot faster? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL] @="1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "DisablePagingExecutive"=dword:00000001 "LargeSystemCache"=dword:00000001 "IoPageLockLimit"=dword:00020000 And also I been search for a way to turn on the "classic start menu" without actually totally disabling the other option. Is that possible?

I have some tweaks I want to import in my regtweak for my XPsp2 slipstream, can someone explain to me if it's neccessary to import the following to both CU OR LM keys? Or will importing in one effect the other as well? [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001 "NoStartMenuHelp"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000001 "StartMenuLogoff"=dword:00000001 "NoStartMenuHelp"=dword:00000001

So can .net 2 be installed in the RunOnce method if it were installed first? If not can you provide an easy example of where it can be installed please? Thanks

Another quick question. I downloaded a silent switchless dotNET1.1 and 2.0 install and it says to "Install from: svcpack.inf". Since I'm not very familar with svcpack.inf, would it make a difference if I just run it first thing in RunOnceEX?

Sorry I found the variable in my CMD which I copied over from a friend: SET PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\ Thanks for being very helpful.

I'm new to this and while adding silent installs to my install.cmd I've go a few questions: 1. REG ADD %KEY%\004 <--- what does this number represent 2. For the number above is there a set incrementations to follow or any will do? 3. Guirunonce and runonceex ---> I read that both run at the same time, I'm currently only using the runonceex method to install programs and regtweaks. Is there a difference between the two? Which one is more favoured? 4. In my attempt to make my install.cmd, what does theses switches stand for? /ve /v 1 /d /f /qn /qb- where is %PP% located? Thanks.

Finally find it, took me a while to look through my regtweak file, it was: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002­ thanks all you advice...

Awesome dude, "run time" error 380 on my actual OS ... But worked sweet in my VM OS cheers

Hi, I did do a search here most points to untick "use drop shadow ..." in performance settings or th listviewshadow key, both did not work. My current view: My VM view: Can someone help me please?

Yeah , after reading/editing/thinking about 2 day and nights, I finally turned my XPsp1 in to a patched and slipstreamed with sp2 with the desired reg tweaks that I needed. First test went pretty well in VM, most of my reg tweaks applied and my setup screen changed (planned to changed everything but don't know how to change the progress bar) ... Needed a bit more editing of the progress bar if someone can tell me how to change that.
