That's it NoelC, thanks alot. I'm pleased to see that it's easier than I thought.

Hi, I want to "declutter" the File Explorer default view a bit, reducing as many recent Windows 8.1 disimprovements as possible. As long as it could be done via Registry or tools like WENPCFG, I already did it. What's still bugging me is one entry (yellow border) for the current user. How could I remove it? Thanks in advance, Mikka

I did a test in a vm, this line --called unattendedly or not-- gives me a bluepurple screen ... Seems to be yet buggy. Applying some settings (via .reg import) would be okay, though. @Tihiy: I acquired 2 licenses for SIB+, all I miss is a working unattended setup procedure (progpath & most important settings to keep things silently).

Tihiy: Firstly, thank you very much for an awesome tool. I'm currently checking it out, but I guess StartIsBack+ 1.5.1 seems to be the one tool I need. I've got 2 fresh client systems here for unattended Windows 8.1 installations. The icing on the cake would be an additional unattended switch for the SIB+ installer. (I don't mind writing a little script either, featuring stuff like 7z x -o"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\StartIsBack+\" SIB+.7z, regsvr32 /s StartIsBack64.dll ...) That would be really great and an asset compared to similar tools! Thanks for considering my suggestion. B)

Unfortunately, I doesn't work any more, I don't know why. I ran it with all F and, in a second step, tried to apply a random value. Using all F, it's something like FF1BFF70-FF24-FF22-5FFF-6CFFFFFFFFFF what I get. Maybe AMIDEWINx64 isn't appropriate for UEFI...?

puntoMX you're right, such an effort isn't usually worth it. Tripredacus, I was looking for system properties to change to their "default" state. In case I've got a run-of-the-mill PC, using wmic CsProduct Get /all /format:tableI get a few properties which are set to "To be filled by O.E.M." (except for [the Mainboard] "Vendor") that might be customized accordingly.And there's the UUID. Which I expected to be changeable, too, and with the additional tool AMIDEWIN[x64].exe AMIDEWINx64.exe /su 00000000000000000000000000000000I changed it. But it seems the assigned UUID isn't permanent (not "reboot proof")...

It puzzles me a bit that with wbemtest you can set a "UUID" value like this. However, it has no effect. Checking with wmic or a vbscript, the UUID remains the same. I would like to set mine to f only (as not set). It seems the UUID is also named SMBIOS GUID, which leads to Gigabyte's/AMI UEFI. Seems to be no simple way, unfortunately...

Enter the following command in cmd: wmic CsProduct Get UUID you'll receive the system's UUID value, usually different from: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF Well, I seek a possibility to simply change my UUID to this very value (33 times F meaning "none"). How do I do that, or is there a simple way of doing this? (I'm on quite recent Desktop PC with a Gigabyte UEFI motherboard, just in case.) Thanks in advance!
