Few questions after my first install

[dukeleto]

I've just done my first intall using unattended, and sat here and watched it work, and it was about 95% correct, very good for first attempt.

I have lots of reg tweaks running, and they all worked.

I've got a few questions now, and a few things to note:

First of all, the switches that I got off this site for the Advanced Networking Pack were the wrong ones for that type of hotfix, they should have been /Q:A /R:N. That might need to be altered in the guide.

I got lots of reg tweaks off here, but there are a few I must have not seen, as was hoping someone could post them in a reply here:

; Allow Remote Desktop.... ie to have that box auto ticked

; Dont show the little green "GO" button in the IE toolbar

; Dont use the classic start menu, i prefer the modern XP style one

and it's probably not a reg tweak, but how do I:

delete c:\program files\online services

as part of the install.

Thanks.

;Allow Remote Desktop Connections

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]

"fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000

To delete the Online Services folder, you need to disable windows file protection first. Follow the directions here: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/wfp.htm

thanks for that, so how do i in regtweks.reg:

; Dont show the little green "GO" button in the IE toolbar

; Dont use the classic start menu, i prefer the modern XP style one

Also, I edited msgina.dll (with some of my own bitmaps) and put this into:

CD-ROOT\$OEM$\$$\System32

but on the full install, it does not seem to have copied over like it's supposed to..

any help is great.

[RyanVM]

Windows File Protection, my friend . With msgina32.dll, you're probably better off running ModifyPE (there's a link to it from the MSFN unattended guide) on the file then compressing it by running "MAKECAB MSGINA32.DLL" in a command prompt. That'll turn it into MSGINA32.DL_ which can then overwrite the current version in the I386 folder of the CD.

Regarding the other options, the Luna theme (modern) should be default.

Try this for ditching the Go button, but IIRC, it takes more than just this setting to make it disappear.

;Disable Go Button in IE

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"ShowGoButton"="no"

[dukeleto]

excellent, thanks heaps, the makecab thing was what I also did to change the default wallpaper..

so this leaves one thing now....

what regtweak do I use for

; Dont use the classic start menu, i prefer the modern XP style one where it has two columes, not the older looking one from win 9x/nt etc.

[RyanVM]

Like I said before, it should be the default one. If it's not, you're changing it elsewhere.

And make sure you run ModifyPE on the file before creating the cab file, or else windows might refuse to copy it.

[dukeleto]

Well this is what I have got, which one do I need to change to allow me to have the Windows XP style start menu?

;Configure Start Menu[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"Hidden"=dword:00000001"ShowCompColor"=dword:00000001"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000"DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000000"ShowInfoTip"=dword:00000001"HideIcons"=dword:00000000"MapNetDrvBtn"=dword:00000001"WebView"=dword:00000001"Filter"=dword:00000000"SuperHidden"=dword:00000000"SeparateProcess"=dword:00000000"ListviewAlphaSelect"=dword:00000000"ListviewShadow"=dword:00000001"ListviewWatermark"=dword:00000000"TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002"StartButtonBalloonTip"=dword:00000002"Start_ShowNetPlaces"=dword:00000001"Start_LargeMFUIcons"=dword:00000000"Start_MinMFU"=dword:0000000c"Start_ShowControlPanel"=dword:00000001"Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001"StartMenuFavorites"=dword:00000002"Start_ShowHelp"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowMyComputer"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowMyDocs"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowMyMusic"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowMyPics"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowPrinters"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowRun"=dword:00000001"Start_ScrollPrograms"=dword:00000000"Start_ShowSearch"=dword:00000001"Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002"Start_AutoCascade"=dword:00000001"Start_NotifyNewApps"=dword:00000000

[dukeleto]

should I add:

"ClassicViewState"=dword:00000000

[RyanVM]

I've got that key in my (working) regtweaks, so it won't hurt to use it

[dukeleto]

thanks.

this one is already in mine, but it did not seem to work, when I started up OE, the msn icon appeared:

;Do Not Start MS-Messenger with Outlook Express

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express]

"Hide Messenger"=dword:00000001

[dukeleto]

is there any difference between these two?

;Max your Internet Explorer's simultaneous downloads to 10 (default was 2)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a

"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a

;Increases the number of concurrent downloads from a site (default 2).

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010

"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000010

the second one sets it to 16
