Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I made a Unanttended vista dvd.

It works fine, but there are 2 things what i wount to see removed.

First if vista is installed i get that welcome screen, how can i remove that so it don't startsup if vista is installed.

Second the sidebar, how can i remove that so it also dos'nt start up if vista is done installing?

Thx for helping.

I'm back after a little research :hello:

At this moment i have found how to disable the sidebar in my vista unanttended , so it dos'nt start if vista is installed.

For all the people that also want to do this here is the code to place in the unanttended.xml file:

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral"
versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86">
<SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault>
</component>

Ow and sorry for my english, i'm from holland :blushing:

If you want to disable the welcome screen in your Vista unattended.xml just past this code between the "OOBE" part:

<SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>

I just tryed it out and it works no welcome screen annymore after installation.

This is just to show that it goes into oobeSystem:

    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<OOBE>
<HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
<NetworkLocation>Home</NetworkLocation>
<SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>
<SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>
<ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>
</OOBE>
</component>
</settings>

I have my account as well as my wife' and child's account in here also, hence the SkipUserOOBE.
