Thanks tmtuong I am still trying things so here is a new version. Just install over the top and it will pick up where you were. 'Se7en_UA.exe 6.5.3: March 02, 2011, 7:16:34 AM ' Fix desktop.ini in several locations to be hidden so they don't show up like in Favorites. ' If you mod boot.wim it will compress to eliminate the [Files] folder from the .wim ' Added DRM fix ' If you use Media player try open this file with it. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=166118 ' Correct ini creation to include other section

If you are running Win 7 now you don't need the waik. Dism is in System32 folder EDIT: You might want these .chm help files. Small d/l unattend.chm and waik.chm http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=F1BAE135-4190-4D7C-B193-19123141EDAA&displaylang=en

I took that image off a VM install. Can we stretch our image to cover the black?

They done moved another post from Unattend. I won't answer

Finally got around to modding a few more files W32UIRes.dll.mui and spwizimg.dll Bitmap-516 I know theres a way to turn off that black border anyone remember where? W32UIRes.dll.mui 120, "Your computer will restart several times."

Ricksteele posted the easiest way to add HKCU to default. Mount the wim and apply The only place HKCU reg tweaks work is during oobe and after a user is created.

<InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> should be in that format and don't need in just PE don't need <UserLocale> in PE <UserData> in PE <ProductKey> <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> </ProductKey> EDIT: also in PE <ComplianceCheck> <DisplayReport>Never</DisplayReport> </ComplianceCheck>

I extract by full name English (United States).rc It will open in Notepad but I use Notepad ++ STRINGTABLE LANGUAGE 9, 1 { 99, "WIN32UI" 101, "Install Windows"

With restorator I extract the .rc exactly as named. Modify it. Right click and copy and just paste back in

Have been unable to make FirstUXRes.WIM work in SP1. Works like 1 time during setup and then it is replaced somehow. Yes I replace it in oobe also I have replaced in also new additional folder for sp1. Mountdir\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-setup-component_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17514_none_905283bdc3e1d2d8\FirstUXRes.WIM

Ok didn't know if you had seen the new. Mine showed improvement but like I said 65 seconds regardless with SP1

MagicAndre1981 Might want to paste this in first post. I think these are updated versions Windows SDK 7.1 (contains WPT 4.7) actually installs Windows Performance Analyzer 4.8.7701 A small file will let you download the Windows Performance Tool Kit and not the whole SDK I ran this and it shows it improved my time. I don't understand how when I reboot with my stopwatch it shows 65 seconds to reboot and boot is about same It was same time before 65 seconds bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl I see 180 boot_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl I see 28 EDIT: This is SP1 full install

Running SP1 I improved this by running command which improves reboot time. goes through same things like 6 or 7 reboots xbootmgr -trace rebootCycle -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot xbootmgr -trace boot never improved my boot time much only reboot time (Before SP1)

After installing full SP1 dvd mine became worse after running this.

If you do Audit you will need both because Auditsystem load's Audituser pass Thats a good way of doing everything. When it reboots into oobe all is done Edit: Only problem is some apps install only for current user I do office 2007 with an xml and allupdates in the Updates folder REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V Inum /D "CMD /C Start /Wait %SystemDrive%\APPS\MS_Office_Enterprise_2007\setup.exe /config custom-uA.XML" /f

Cannot install Applications during Specialize. You must use Audit Mode or OObesystem Reg tweaks applied during specialize can only be machine specific like HKLM Commands in the Setupcomplete.cmd file are executed with local system privilege. HKLM Reg tweaks can be ran here but not HKCU which are user specific. HKCU can be done during Firstlogoncommands Unattend.chm is your friend here and will explain a lot of this

That one didn't work for me, it didn't slide QL back to left. Tried from desktop where there was no other folders open. I have nothing on Taskbar This one work's here and is one I add to tool's folder 7QuickLaunch.au3

Yes that's what it say but we are already slipstreaming SP1 7601.17514.101119-1850. When it is web released I will d/l and compare to see what the differences are but it is working

DO you know how to mount images with Dism? There is so much involved here if you are not able to do these things then adding packages might be hard to explain. If you know how to Mount images then mount the install.wim and run a cmd Dism /image:C:\zMountDir /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\IE9\IE9-Win7.cab you may also need Dism /image:C:\zMountDir /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\IE9\ielangpack-TRK.cab Dismount with commit

No problem jbm, was my mistake trying to make it easier. Glad it working again

open command prompt same folderIE9-Windows7-x64-enu.exe /x:IE9 it will be .cab but you can add to image also

When you write to registry it also writes to your current user profile same things. If you close explorer then you lose them. This save when you logoff or reboot EX: Place new file on desktop and drag to far right. Restart explorer you lose position. TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe Timeout 2 start explorer.exe
