I'm not sure how we can get different results if we do the same thing...You put the exact same entries in as I listed, via cmdlines.txt and it did something different? I'd really like to see the file you used and how you applied it. Getting different results for the same thing doesn't make sense. When working w/the registry, entries have to be very specific and very often 2 or more keys have to be set together to get the desired result. As an example the following keys look similar appear to do the same thing but if any one is left out or changed, the results will be totally different.

Express, I understand. It works fine to put your tweaks in through cmdlines.txt. If you had a problem w/that then you probably need to check the tweaks you're using and where you're putting them. I use INF files for my UA.

Either change the values you want or delete the lines you don't like. Should work. I didn't include all the comments explaining what each tweak is, I'm assuming you know most of them. Some of the settings have to be applied to HKLM as well as HKCU. Hope this helps you.

You can put certain settings into HKU\.DEFAULT and have them apply to all new users. I can never remember which ones work and which don't and it's not really the best way to do it. See below... This only works during installation of the O/S. If done this way all new users will have the defaults you setup--assuming your original edits are all good. Once your initial setup/installation is done you're right. If you didn't do ZileXa's method when you setup your system and you want to make something that applies to all new users from now on, do the following: Log on w/non-Administrator privledges account. Preferably a new account. Doesn't matter what you call if or if you plan on using it, it's just to make a template, you can delete it later if you want; Set all desktop/user settings exactly the way you want them to be for all new users; Re-start; Log on using account w/Administrator privledges; Open the "System Control Panel Applet"; Click on the "Advanced" tab at the top; Click the "Settings" button under the "User Profiles" section; Under "Profiles stored on this computer:" highlight the account you just made & configured; Click the "Copy To" button; Click the "Browse" button and navigate to the "Default User" folder under "Documents and Settings" and click "OK"; Click the "Change" button. You'll get a message about over-writing existing files or something similar, just say OK or whatever. When the copy process is completed all the settings you made on that new account will apply to any new accounts that get made. Make sure you do not use an account w/Administrative privledges for your setup-sample account or new users w/o Administrative privledges will have problems using the new default settings. You can even setup printers for new users this way.

Thanks MHz This is really a great product. I find myself using it more and more everyday and the majority of my work isn't UA stuff! Keep up the good work! Ps. what do you think about having people contribute "add-ons" or features they've developed themselves to work w/CMenu? Any interest? Anyone?

I'm glad you're finally getting somewhere! As you said, you know you're on the right track now. Better be careful here! I think there's a problem w/running RyanVM's update after you run "WMP10_Slipstreamer" because it will replace some of the files you've updated w/older ones.Having said that though, it might not be true anymore 'cause of RyanVM's new "RVMAddonsWMP10_1.0.cab" and boooggy's comments about adding his "newWMP.rar" after adding RyanVM's stuff. I'm sure boooggy will jump in here and let us know.

boooggy's correct, I meant the update pack RyanVM had prepared in between his major releases. That's moot now since he's updated to 1.3.1, so don't worry about that step.I also mentioned RyanVM's installer for the .NET framework if you need to reinstall that.

I noticed that you mentioned HFSLIP but I didn't really consider it an issue because the whole concept of slipstreaming is something that MS built into their SP & Hotfixes, so no matter how you do it or whose software you use (nLite or HFSLIP for example...) it's still really happening by the same MS method.Bottomline is that it shouldn't matter how you slipstream as long as you're not modifying the files and adding or deleting beyond the "slipstream-as-defined-by-MS" norm, you should be okay. Good luck w/getting going correctly! Let me know how you make out.

I haven't used PowerDVD in quite awhile but it seems like there's a setting in one of its option/preference menus that can change that for you.If not, and you're comfortable going into the registry you'll have to manually adjust the entries that PowerDVD made. The changes need to be made will be in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpg] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpeg] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mpegfile]I've attached a .REG file that might help you. It's 123 lines so I didn't want to list it all here. Good luck! mpg_fixed.reg

They are completely compatible!If you follow the steps that have been outlined before: Run nLite and do whatever you want to do w/it. Complete all the nLite steps except making the iso Add RyanVM's update Close/exit out of nLite Everything will work fine. I've done this (as others have) many times now. In fact I just redid it w/the new newWMP.rar files. If you're still having problems after following the above exactly then maybe you can check the following: Download a fresh copy MP10Setup.exe from MS Reinstall MS's .NET Framework (I use RyanVM's netfxsp1.exe) Are you a member of the administrator's group on the system you're working? Do you have "full" permissions to the folders involved? Is there some background program that's conflicting? Try it from a completely different system and see how it works Create a new user profile on your existing system and see if it works I don't know what else to tell you other than it does work on the majority of systems that are trying it so if it's not working for you--and I don't mean this as an insult --there must be a problem on your system.

Hibernation and Power settings are a per User setting. I tried for quite a while to find a registry tweak for them and couldn't--you'll find several listed in these forums but they all work differently depending on other settings in the user's profile. What I finally came up with is a batch file that I use in my UA but it could also be run as a startup item. There are 2 different batches, one for laptops--which is a good use for hibernation--and one for desktops. Both need powercfg.exe which is part of the WinXP install. ;;; this is for desktop systems @echo off start /wait powercfg.exe /s "Home/Office Desk" start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /monitor-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /disk-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /standby-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "Home/Office Desk" /hibernate off ;;; this one is for laptops @echo off start /wait powercfg.exe /s "portable/laptop" start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate on start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /monitor-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /disk-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /standby-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate-timeout-ac 0 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /monitor-timeout-dc 30 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /disk-timeout-dc 45 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /standby-timeout-dc 120 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /hibernate-timeout-dc 180 start /wait powercfg.exe /x "portable/laptop" /globalpowerflag on /option:batteryicon Hope it helps.

Thank you very much boooggy! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

That will do it! If you can change the following section from to this: ;;; stops WMP from asking about elecard based files [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Extensions\.wmv] "Runtime"=dword:00000001 "Permissions"=dword:00000020 It'll stop WMP from asking you if it's okay to play those files.

Try using the tweak below and copy multiple items. You'll have problems. As prathapml said; "It opens the moveto/CopyTo dialogs at odd times/places even when you did not choose to open them." I haven't tried this particular combination using "*" instead of "AllFilesystemObjects" but if MHz is suggesting it, that's enough for me... The reason I haven't tried MHz's suggestion is that I'm now using his most-excellent CMenu and it replaces that tweak. There's also the ContextMenuExt.dll originally posted by Astalavista. But if you're going to use CMenu do not use ContextmenuExt.dll with it. There's a conflict between the two and author MHz suggests only using one. Regarding, Jedi82; I can't tell what you're trying to get rid of... the new WinXP style start menu? Do you want the "Classic" start menu? And I don't recognize that other dialog box either.

Thanks for the update boooggy, I really appreciate your efforts on this! BTW, to the rest of you out there, I just want to reiterate that following boooggy's steps: after doing all the "nLite" and "RyanVM" stuff works just fine. I've built over 20 systems following those steps w/o problem!

Run nLite and do whatever you normally do w/it, including RyanVM's update pack (NOT the "no wmp" pack or whatever it's called, just the normal update pack); Add the files from RyanVM's "122to122b-full.rar" to your UA i386 folder; Run "Slipstreamer_v3.exe", following instructions as indicated; Add whatever else you add or do--if anything--before making your iso; Make & burn iso; Done!! Works great for me, done several different models all successfully.
