This may seem like a noob question, but I see alot of unattended guides referring to a tweak.reg file. They link me the the msfn unattended tutorial, but it says nothing about creating said file. Can some olne point me to a tutorial on how to do such a thing?

I used nlite to config my xp disk.

First go into "regedit" and take just one folder, rightclick, export to whereever you want.

Now open this xxxx.reg with notepad and have a look.

This xxx.reg contains all the settings in the folder you choose in regedit.

By executing the file, the code is (re)written into registry.

So the trick is to collect regtweaks and insert them in the system-settings.

An example:

Windows has no "Copy to" and "Move to" in the contextmenu.

If you copy the following code into a simple textfile and name it "Tweak.reg",

you will extend your contextmenu.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy to]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move to]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

These Regtweaks can also be installed by commandline to be silently executed:

regedit /s tweak.reg

I know how to do that, but how do I make my windows installer execute "regedit /s tweak.reg"?

This was your question in Post #1:

They link me the the msfn unattended tutorial, but it says nothing about creating said file. Can some olne point me to a tutorial on how to do such a thing?

So I explained with lots of words - and you tell me, you know how to do it...

Now you`re asking:

...but how do I make my windows installer execute "regedit /s tweak.reg"?

Your "Windows Installer" has nothing to do with that Regtweaks.

I told you that Regedit is the thing. And how to execute them by commandline.

i would prefer the "cmdlines-method:

Sorry for the mix up, didn't know the wording off of the top of my head NOW I know what to do, thank you very much.

So let us know if our solution made effort to you.
