Actual reason for commenting out that first line is:::: Some people are so foolish to apply all without regard. Then they want to complain that this don't work or this don't prath made this file so everyone can select what they need, not apply all and hope for the best. If you don't know what it does or are clueless then don't apply it. It's your sys so learn what each is before APPLICKING it.

Well thats exactly what i posted first time you said didn't work. I just didn't add all the hex stuff. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy] "Policies"=hex: But anyways the other method works also.

OOps that Policy don't work anymore either I just done another with Installwatch I must have been looking at something else the first time [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "ScreenSaverIsSecure"="1" I can turn it on and go to reg and set to a 0 and open and look again and its off If you want it off set that to a 0

Incorrect Policy no longer works

be nice if you had complete instructs, I just haven't gone there yet. I let it install then run the SP6 and any extra tools like MZ and Indenter. Don't take much time doing it silently. Dropped the VSI for the Inno

SibTiger NO Only way is export those long key's but they contain a lot of things within them and not just monitor so makes sense if you have things set the way you like it then export the whole key that cover's it all. I have seen the page where it tell's all the things it covers but its somewhere within my fav's and I just don't wanna search it. I auto export em when i'm setting up a CD

Simply try this nothing else. In VMWare its what I had to do to get it at resolution I wanted. Adding the other stuff will mess it up if driver's don't install right with Virtual CRUD [Display] Xresolution=1024 YResolution=768

Modify Placesbar = pretty good http://www.puppypc.com/windows/rt/comdlg_placebar.htm I think this is what you are looking for

Ok have a few ? since i'm new to the 2000 My friend a reseller bought 10 Win 2000 pro machines with COA's and wanted me to fix up his CD with all the updates so he can load them. 1. I saved the XPCTHLST.TXT to root XPCREATE dir 2. It wouldn't d/l the files or either I misunderstand. Can't make it do it so I just modded the XPCTHLST into a .cmd file with DOWNLOAD.EXE -download http yada yada to the correct dir's and saving them shortfile name. Like C:\XPCREATE\SVC-DAH\832483.exe Is that all I need to do? It will be an attended since he has to put the COA's in when he install's them to the pc's. Do I edit the XPCTHLST.TXT to reflect the shortnames or should I have left them longname? Appreciate any help

You should have just asked in my Post if about the Unattended CD Creator http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=33040 and I might have seen earlier. Or http://maxxpsoft.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=60 The latest tweaking app is not released except to 2 people.

Longhorn Clock Asta? Yep I recognoze it. http://www.<<spam>>.net/forum/...pic=157465&st=0 replace the <<spam>> crap with neo and win dam thats a nice tray clock why ya'll doing the .<<spam>>. crap? Forum war's?

Incorrect

Important [GuiRunOnce] You must put each command line in quotation marks. "%systemdrive%\Install\start.cmd"

I might add though

Thats why instead of VM nightmares I use CDRW, may take a little longer but you have actual view of what is really going on instead of a (not perfect)simulation.

I've done it with as little as 2 components so quantity I would think shouldn't matter. As far as Order it resembles an inf file and is processed as it needs to be, In other words it don't matter or shouldn't according to MikeySoft but who knows? Interesting though Prath , something I'm going to look at. Getting things to work in the Virtual is a lot harder than actual, I've seen things work actual when they did not in Virtual if you understand.

True Thats what I will do then Thats there if anyone wants it cause that works total Silent.

Ok on the GDITool, I wanted a silent Install switch for it. It was a little tough but heres what I came up with. that thing is so weird, doesn't copy the dll or .inf no where, basically it creates some reg entries and a few minor files E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.chk E:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log E:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system.LOG E:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Logs\wbemess.log and a few others it modifies or creates I ran that on a clean Install of Pro with Dotnet I had to Install also. It requires Dotnet, Office or a few other things in order for it even to install. I'm thinking if those files needed update then possibly it would copy the oudetect.dll, msiutil2.exe, gditool.inf, gdidet.cif files and replace the old ones. Modifies this reg key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceCurrent] @=dword:0000000a Adds This [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_MSISERVER\0000\Control] "ActiveService"="MSIServer" I did determine that running it by clicking on it that it extracts it to the same exact %TEMP% dir I used in the commandline below So heres what I'm thinking The commandline I pasted is correct to install it silent. Anyone got any thoughts on it? SVCPACK.INF [setupHotfixesToRun] 873374.exe /Q /T:%TEMP% /C /C:"%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 gditool.inf"

Nakkoush Like I was showing you with the example over there. If its 1.6 then it don't need extracted. "%systemdrive%\Install\Flashget\fgf160.exe /S" If extraction or anything needed we add this to it. [DotNet] REM NOTES: Extracted

Not actually with XP Home it starts with the name you tell it in users.cmd and the Autologon.reg Theres no ADministrator in Home or at least its pratically invisible or easier to say unuseable. If you don't tell it then its "Owner"

sorry about the other night bmn I was just trying to get my thing started OK

Think what he saying is [GuiUnattended] AutoLogon = Yes Delete that complete entry I don't have it in mine either in [GuiUnattended]

This is the Autologon.reg I'm using by the MSFN Guide Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="MyName" "DefaultPassword"="" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" No Pass here either

Alanoll lol we need a sticky on that then man

I have already tried, doesn't work. Already tried that? That fast I will tell you that if you running in a VM(Virtual Machine) environment that display is one thing they lacking or not good at. Been there done that.
