hardmajik Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Im having issues where the registry tweaks dont seem to be installed during my unattended setup... Ive gone as far as to split up the hives (HKLM and HKCU), have the cmdlines.txt call both files to import each hive, and even put in an entry for them to be run at the end of RunonceEx.these settings are most for the appearance of windows, but im very particular on how my system looks...ie., unhide file exts, have classic theme instead of the "bubble" theme, etc the majority of the "tweaks" i found on the web, but i made sure to verify them on multiple sites before adding to my tweak files...can anyone anyone please post a sample reg file or give me some advice on what im doin wrong?any help would be greatly appreciated...

iamtheky Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (If you got 0%) It seems it would be difficult to jack up every entry in what is seemingly a thorough .reg and not have very obvious errors/entries.Maybe its the way you are calling the file?regedit /s %path%\RegistryEdits.regIf you place your file in your loaded os and call it from the command prompt does it work?

hardmajik Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 thanks for the reply..heres a sample of the HKCU file that causing me problems[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]“HideFileExt”=dword:00000000“Hidden”=dword:00000001for the runonceex script i am calling the HKCU reg file by:REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Importing Registry Tweaks Part 2" /fREG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\HKCU.reg" /fwhen i create a reg file in the root with just the top two entries and run it in a command prompt, i receive no errors...but when i browse to that key, and export the entire advanced entry, i find that the key are not changed:"Hidden"=dword:00000002"HideFileExt"=dword:00000001could it be a problem of changing keys that are DWORDs that are already in the system?

maxXPsoft Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 changing keys that are DWORDsNo should not be any problem there.You do have REGEDIT4 or Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 at top of these reg files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardmajik Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 yep, i have "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the top of the reg file..i even tried to use REGEDIT4 but still same situation...from a command prompt it gives no errors; the same when i just double click on the reg file and merge it that way...i've even created a new account to see if it was because i was logged into administrator making changes to the HKCU tree, but had the same result...

maxXPsoft Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) “HideFileExt”=dword:00000000"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000do you see the difference in them 2? Look at the "If you copy off some websites it gives you that but second line is I exported from my own registry Edited December 8, 2008 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
