I'm choosing inf over batch because it's cleaner. A batch shows a cmd window when it runs, then diappears quicky, which is ugly. I'm going to be running this inf from my [GUIRUNONCE].

Thanks Delprat. I see how it works. Thanks very much I have one more question. If I want to delete the cleanup.inf after it runs my clean up commands, how would I do it? It seems like I would have to do it on next reboot since this inf is in memory running. Thanks, Niatross

I have created a simple (.inf) file named cleanup.inf. Here it is: [Version] Signature=$CHICAGO$ [DefaultInstall] DelFiles=cleanup [cleanup] MSN Explorer.lnk ;end of file Anyway, my goal is to delete the MSN Explorer icon in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\MSN Explorer.lnk How do I tell the inf the file is in a specific directory. I'm confused on writing my first inf. I'm used to batch files. All the examples I see on the internet just name the file that you want to delete WITHOUT any path to the filename. My concern is that I have multiple MSN Explorer.lnk files. I only want to delete the one in the path that i've given above. Could someone help me out with this example? I thank you in advance if you could help because i'm not understanding. Thanks, Niatross

Sysprep 2.0 is stripping out my home page/startpage that I have setup in Internet Explorer. I have tried to use the follwing command via a batch file through the [guirunonce] in sysprep.inf to set the start page, but it won't work. Here is my batch file: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /v "Start Page" /t REG_SZ /d http://support.microsoft.com /f If I run this manually after i log on, the command (above) works fine. The problem is, I want this automated through my sysprep.inf, I don't want to have to run this command manually. Where can I set this in my sysprep.inf to get it to work? Thanks, Rick

Fact: Once you sysprep Windows XP and logon as the Administrator, sysprep will create two shortcuts on your desktop. They are: MSN Explorer Windows Media Player Bottom Line: I want the cleanest way to get rid of these two shortcuts via the sysprep.inf. Request: I ONLY want these two shortcuts (on my desktop) removed. I DO NOT want any references to these two programs removed from any other areas of the operating system (ex: Start Menu/Programs, etc.) I just want the desktop icons/shortcuts removed. I want to GET RID OF THESE during the sysprep process. How do you do it? What commands can I run in the sysprep.inf that "WILL WORK"? What command in the [GUIRUNONCE] section will accomplish this? Once the Administrator account logs on, I want these two desktop shortcuts to DISAPPEAR!!! Please re-read this post , if you are not clear on what my objective is. I want real answers to this issue, so please re-read if your unclear on what i'm asking for. Thanks in advance for your help... Best Regards, Rick Blake
