i wonder if someone help me with this tweaks in the registry for my unattended installation:

1)how to autoalign icons in the desktop (i hate recycle bin in the right side and the rest of icons in the left side)

2)show all hidden files and folders (i tried to export my settings from [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams] but it doesn't seem to work)

3)change icon sizes from 32x32 to 48x48 or **x** (can't find the correct setting in the registry)

4)remove the sound control from the taskbar (i remember i saw it somewhere in this forum but search does not work and i can't find it again)

5)double clic on a folder opens explorer view in that folder (double panel view)

6)change my user picture to whatever 48x48 .bmp i like (again i remember read this in that forum)

thanks to all and please answer as more questions as u can

2)show all hidden files and folders

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001

4)remove the sound control from the taskbar

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray]
"Services"=dword:0000001b

5)double clic on a folder opens explorer view in that folder

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\open\command]
@=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\
  00,5c,00,45,00,78,00,70,00,6c,00,6f,00,72,00,65,00,72,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,\
  65,00,20,00,2f,00,65,00,2c,00,2f,00,69,00,64,00,6c,00,69,00,73,00,74,00,2c,\
  00,25,00,49,00,2c,00,25,00,4c,00,00,00

thx for the answers x86, the problem is that the 2) show all hidden files and folders tweak does not work, maybe i need run it in a later time of the install process because it's overwritten when the user log in (?) anyone knows the tweks for 1) 3) 6) ???

sorry i forgot one thing anyway to disable the burning capabilities in xp? nLite can't remove it?

Try setting it to 2 instead of 1.

To disable cd burning:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoCDBurning"=dword:00000001
