Jadestar Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 On that above tweak, you may want to remove the deleting the run key...i use this script to clean out startup files when installing, so if you were using this on a pc that isnt a fresh install..that may cause some complications.It also has some stuff directly related to my installs, like disabling incd service (which is bundled with nero essentials).

zeusabj Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Thanks for sharing this. Always love to know what items other SysAdmins are setting as default in their Windows installs. I incorporated a few of your tweaks into my own post-install script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
