Reg tweaks before login & turning off MSN balloon

[mickah]

I want to know how to install reg tweaks before you login and I was also wondering how to turn off "get a Microsoft passport", I went to Kelly?s corner and copied there reg tweak but I'm gathering it didn't work because it was probably for Windows Messenger 4.7 which I choose not to install and just have MSN Messenger 6 to install.

Thanks

I import my registry settings from cmdlines.txt. Place both your registry file and cmdlines.txt in the $oem$ directory.

cmdlines.txt

[COMMANDS]
"regedit /s regtweak.reg"

Replace 'regtweak.reg' with the name of your registry file.

;Removes Sign up with Passport Wizard when trying to sign in MSN Messenger
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Passport]
"RegistrationCompleted"=dword:00000001

THat should get rid of the Passport wizard..

or... use nLite to reduce the size of your XP source as you can select to have MSN removed altogether

jrzycrim: doesn't commands only run something once windows is already loaded?

thanks guys

Nope. Your thinking of GUIRunOnce and RunOnceEx. cmdlines.txt executes at T-12 minute stage...
