You need nothing extra Win 7 bootable disk can handle everything. http://www.msfn.org/board/uploads/post-9484-0-92001300-1360052457.png When you get to partition screen create 1 and it adds the small one. Select 2nd partition and choose delete. Now just Extend the 1st part to fill drive. Format and install. Or just choose next and Windows will format it and install No 100mb disk On Win 8.1 its 350mb

Not sure what removed since I haven't messed with that in awhile. Why not just put on VLC it plays everything and free. http://www.videolan.org/

you can do it easily with this http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/150275-add-right-click-wim-windows-7-or-windows-881/?p=958469

Took another look at that Tweaking.com Registry Backup. Works very well here even with restore off. Don't know why I thought it wouldn't work. I just d/l the portable and set the settings and use TweakingRegistryBackup.exe /auto in my Startup folder on win 7. You can set a task also win8+

Excellent When I searched for SEE_MASK_NOZONECHECKS it lead me to the Unblock Streams thing. Post #870

That could be it. I don't have any IIS at all. Or maybe some of your files have Streams in them. When I robocopy I use robocopy D:\_Backup %~dp0_Backup /E /COPY:DT /MT:32 /PURGE /R:1 /W:5 The DT supposed to remove the S=Security=NTFS ACLs Checking my Update download dir I get this on some files if right click properties So I do this to process all at once. Then just right click on a folder and choose Unblock the files inside EDIT: Upon doing this it removes the prompt "Do you want to run this file" mess when you normally double click to run EX: filterpack2010-kb2810071-fullfile-x64-glb.exe: Deleted :Zone.Identifier:$DATA Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00;Download the *Sysinternals* *Streams.exe* from the link below. (Remember to unblock the zip file.);Unzip and copy streams.exe to \Windows\System32 or any other directory in your path;http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile]@="Unblock file"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblockfile\command]@="cmd /k streams -d \"%1\""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles]@="Unblock the files inside"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblockallthefiles\command]@="cmd /k streams.exe -d -s \"%1\""

yes have to check for version you have DisableFirstRunWizard Specifies whether to skip the First Run Wizard when the user opens Internet Explorer for the first time. Internet Explorer 8 through Internet Explorer 10

I integrate all 149 through Oct and never get a popup. Perhaps setting in xml? I do have UAC off at that point and generalize <settings pass="offlineServicing"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-LUA-Settings" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <EnableLUA>false</EnableLUA> </component> </settings> <settings pass="generalize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysprep" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls> </component> </settings>mp3 won't play till firstlogoncommands I've tried doing during setupcomplete just so I know where its at. even tried using "SAPI.SpVoice"

Just mount your image and do this Dism.exe /image:YourMountDir /Get-ProvisionedAppxPackages or from Win 8.1 Pro 64 bit http://www.mediafire.com/view/aw2odrf6iz4s2az/zProvisionedAppxPackages.txt

defender silent switch is mpas-feX64.exe -q or /q works also You could run the command line version for that "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" -SignatureUpdate Either way you have to have Admin rights on that one. Perhaps setupcomplete.cmd?

most them youtube downloaders have junkware built in so I only install them after and click through each so they don't change my browser homepage, search and stuff so I use JDownloader if I want to save one. Paste the link in and it will give list of all files available there

I can't see what that is so tiny. What app are you trying to run? I don't ever get that

Been using the http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm host file for a long time and use Hostsman so I can simply start it and turn off host temporary blocks a lot of ads

Yes real easy. Open Windows Update from control panel Upper left is a link say Restore hidden updates just click it and select the ones to restore and choose Restore at bottom right What this does is search the Windows Update catalog and Hides the updates you don't want. Same as right click on one and choose Hide Update

Registry Backup uses Volume Shadow Copy which is basically System Restore which I have turned off because I have an SSD and it was recommended dang i hope they update that Free Regbak for 8+

I was using Regbak but it may not work on Win 8.1 Worked really great on Win 7 backing up all the hives each time Windows started. using this in Startup folder The right click brought up program where I could choose backup to restore RegBaksilent.lnk = %windir%\Regbak\regbak64.exe "%windir%\Regbak\<DATE>\<TIME>" /reg:suo /silent /overwrite /limitdays:7 /limitcount:14running in win 8.1 I get a I tried and it is failing

edit oops wrong I haven't found either

I didn't add that and it was only a xml to enable Administrator autologon. You have to add all them things yourself Look at <settings pass="oobeSystem"> in first post. It is updated I add as much as possible to block them. Perhaps you need to add language and the OOBE, never done it with minimal stuff.

Ok here it is Autologon with Administrator and nothing else Windows 7 SP1 and this is X86. I add so many things so I don't have to add them later or answer but this is the basic needed. EDIT: You may not need the settings pass="specialize" but it worked this way so I don't think it hurts to have it in there. I watched it running setupcomplete.cmd and then went to desktop after personalizing settings <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend"> <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Description>Enable Admin Account</Description> <Path>net user administrator /active:yes</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component> </settings> <settings pass="oobeSystem"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>2</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value></Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>Administrator</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts> </component> </settings></unattend>

I read in the unattend.chm that just adding the <Name>Administrator</Name> in Autologon will enable the account but I haven't tested that. I'll test in a VM when I get off work.

You don't have to use all of it, he said look To logon with Admin you need to add this to <settings pass="specialize"> so it will be set active for oobepass <settings pass="specialize"> <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Deployment" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Description>Enable Admin Account</Description> <Path>net user administrator /active:yes</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous> </component></settings>then <AutoLogon> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <LogonCount>2</LogonCount> <Username>Administrator</Username> </AutoLogon> <UserAccounts> <LocalAccounts> <LocalAccount wcm:action="add"> <Password> <Value></Value> <PlainText>true</PlainText> </Password> <Group>Administrators</Group> <Name>Administrator</Name> </LocalAccount> </LocalAccounts> </UserAccounts>
