[Small Icons in Start Menu in SP2]

I know how to enable them, but after restarting my computer the default "big" icons are back.

This only happens in SP2 not in SP1.

I tried, using regshot, to find the needed key.

But the key that regshot reports as changed doesn't exist!

Could anyone post a working regtweak for SP2 to enable small icons in Start Menu?

Thanx in advance.

[SP2 still SP1?]

Ok, thanks.

But that doesn't explain why it says Service Pack 1 in system properties page.

[SP2 still SP1?]

Is there a way to find out which SP build currently is installed?

I mean a way that definately is correct?

[SP2 still SP1?]

It just says Windows XP without the pro part.

[SP2 still SP1?]

I slipstreamed it into a clean XP using nLite.

I got all the SP2 features, but it says SP1 not SP2..

[SP2 still SP1?]

I just installed my new Unattended CD with SP2.

Everything worked fine.

But when rightclick on My Computer->Properties it still says that I have SP1!?

EDIT:

Windows build/version on Desktop says I have build 2158 and nLite says I have build 2180?!

P.S.: I downloaded it here:

[SFC Fix v1.0]

I tried adding the SFCFILES.DLL to my unattended SP2 CD (after changing it to .DL_) but I get an error during installation that says it is not a valid system file and must be skipped.  Any idea why I might get this error?

you have to CAB-compress your file. search for a tool on the xpcd called makecab.exe (to make cabs) and expand.exe (to extract them).

So this works for SP1 AND SP2?

[Undo F-lock Reg Tweak]

You could put a - after =

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]

"Scancode Map"="-"

and then merge the reg file.

I can't guarantee that it will work.

[CPL files. Reg tweaks to show/hide them?]

You could use Xteq6.6 in recordmode, it has an option do hide .cpl files from the controlpanel.

When finished stop recordmode and the changes will be saved to a textfile.

[how can i extract WINNTBBU.DLL?]

Try this:

just merge the reg file and rightclick on winntbbu.dl_ and choose expandit.

Try office shrinker.

Just search for shrink and you will find it.

You're welcome

[O&O defrag 6]

A reg file has to start with this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

So your reg file would be:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\O&O\O&O Defrag\6.0\Pro]

"User"="InsertName"

"Company"="InsertCompanyName"

"SerialNo"="InsertSerial"

[Nero Fixation]

The "Could not perform fixation" message is an hardware (cd/dvd-burner) related problem.

I had the same problem and the only fixing solution for me was to get a new burner.

Thank god I still had 6 months of guarantee!

You could google for the errormessage and maybe one of the solutions can help you.

[Including Office 2003 in XP Unattended]

The command can be put in the main_batch.cmd file.

I don't know where to put the folder, because I don't have MS Office.

But you could search the Unattended Tutorial.

I believe slipstreaming/adding MS Office to a Unattended-CD is covered in there.

Look at this site:

http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/office2003_advanced.htm

There is also a program to shrink MS Office.

Just search the forum and you will find it.

EDIT:

The answer to where to put the folder is in your command:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Office2003\

%systemdrive% is the $1-folder.

Here is the link to the office shrinker thread:

My BIOS did support it, but my Windows XP SP1 didn't.

Only after editing the registry, I got the full 160GB.

Here you go:

this worked for me.

You have to remove the entries from the registry so the hotfixes don't appear in add/remove.

[SP2 install needed hacked files list]

Thank you for the clarification

[SP2 install needed hacked files list]

Are the files in:

http://cheater.freeprohost.com/MSFN/hacked_files.zip

up-to-date?

What I mean: is tcpip.sy_ the unlimited one?

[winnt.bat]

Do I have to change them or can I leave them as they are?

EDIT:

Ok, never mind, I understand the %SETUPFILES% line.

But what about /copysource:lang?

Do I have to specify the language of my XP e.g:

/copysource:ENG

or something like that?

EDIT2: found some extra info about winnt.bat:
