#1 Is this in VMWare? That is a known issue. You need to integrate the proper video drivers for VMWare.

#2 This is no bug! Due to MS and the antitrust lawsuits the feature was removed...

#4 How are you "Unloading" it?

[Nepali]

1st: yes, it is in VMWARE, does it mean it will be fixed on phycal PC

2nd: what will be the process for unattended to set the wallpaper for every user

3rd: how to bring back the option

4th:i am unloading it by rt clicking taskbar--toolbar--language bar but on next retart it will appear it again..

[Kelsenellenelvian]

#1 yes the screen resolution will be displayed properly on your running system...

#3 I have seen a reg file looking for it now.

#4 I am testing this out BUT I do believe you were already given the answer in the LAST thread you asked that in.

for the first one: along with the screen resolution, it also popup welcome screen and also prompt for the user account creation.

I had already set a user on t-13

will this one also be fixed on physical PC (running system)

[Kelsenellenelvian]

The resolution part will be fixed, yes. As for the rest just remove OOBE with nLite and NEVER worry about them again. (Only for VLK versions though, DO NOT do this on a non-VLK system)

Here is the reg file for the ie icon. Simply run it and then refresh your desktop, logoff\logon or reboot and it will be there again.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

Here is the vmware video drivers please integrate them into your disk when nLite-ing!

what to do with my OEM version of XP ? i cannot remove oobe from my system

so time i need to take my system to adifferent hardware and has to perform sysprep and mini setup as well.

the question is : why this welcome screen is poping up this time with SP3 ?

the registry setting only helped me to recover the icon but not the option in the customize section of desktop properties.

There is now way to recover that option...

It is GONE forever. Unless you go back to sp2 without all of the hotfixes.

I can't help you with the unnatended settings.

thanks for the video driver for VMWARE, the problem is now fixed

i removed the OOBE from nlite as well, and working like a charm (its VLK version)

but the theme service is gone now, i will rebuild it again from the begining.

i used the registry to bring back the icon, its cool

i used the language bar registry tweak to hide language bar as well...

now i got a perfect UAXP CD

thank Kelsenellenelvian

For OEM i will search other option ..
