I was wanting to know if there is a way to set my unattended cd to automatically not show desktop icons. I also want to know if there is a way to have the quick launch & desktop toolbars selected by default? I am using nlite to modify my setup & haven't found these options anywhere.

So.. you reached the limits of nLite ?

Well now you have to dig to get what you want.

In WinXP pro there is a registry setting, to disable desktop, hide all on it.

You could also just use batch files to delete all content in desktop folders after installation.

Quicky and desktop toolbars i beleave are also set with registry editing.

Now there: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/page/list/registry/

are some examples... i didnt find what you need tho.

I'll start searching for the needed registry settings. The only problem is I don't know how to get reg files to be installed during setup. I read the link you gave but still not sure how. (actually read most of the guide there).
