My previous statement that there's just one byte to toggle is BS. You need the complete stream data which is a binary representation of the file and icon locations as well as the windows positions of the taskbar.

The best solution seems to copy the key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"Default Taskbar"

to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"Default Taskbar (Personal)"

during setup.

The "Default Taskbar" key is created before the T-13 stage and contains the correct stream data for the quick launch bar.

This is a great advantage because we can avoid importing streams which might be in conflict with customized or localized paths and filenames or have other problems.

The "Default Taskbar (Personal)" is the default value for every user profile.

Here's an AutoIt script:

$var = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop", "Default Taskbar")

RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop", "Default Taskbar (Personal)", "REG_BINARY", $var)

Pure batch:

for /f "skip=4 tokens=4" %%A in ('reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop /v "Default Taskbar"') DO (
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop /f /v "Default Taskbar (Personal)" /t REG_BINARY /d %%A
)

I also copied the content of the Quick Launch folder to my Unattended.

I tested it in Virtual PC and it worked. :)

Wow u must ne a batch god -- i tried to understand the for /? data but its just too much.

So in concluzion all one has to do is copy the content of 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"Default Taskbar"

into this one:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
"Default Taskbar (Personal)"

??????? for the quick launch to run? NICE!

I tried it in a batch just about now and it did copy all the hex from first to second as far as i've seen it.

oh BTW 10x for quoting the whole tweak over again bucketbuster :)

I tested it in Virtual PC and it worked. :)

I'll try to find an elegant way to switch that specific byte without touching the rest.

Heh, I like a challenge :)

This VBscript will read the Settings REG_BINARY, write it out to a temporary .REG file and then import it.

You can amended individual bytes before they get written out.

'Initialization Section
Option Explicit
Const RegKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\"
Const OutKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams"
Dim WSS, FSO, OutFile, OutFileName, RegOut, RegOutH(100), RunReg, xl, x

'Set up an instance of the WSS and FSO objects
Set WSS = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set FSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Get settings REG_BINARY (should return an array of variants)
RegOut = WSS.RegRead(RegKey & "Settings")

'Output should be an array of variants 
If varType(RegOut) <> 8204 then WScript.Quit

'Convert variant array to an array of hex numbers
xl = Ubound(RegOut)
For x = 0 to xl
    RegOutH(x) = Right("0" & Hex(Cint(RegOut(x))),2)
Next

'Do your updates here like this...

'Change byte 33 (array starts at 0) to 02 (hex)
RegOutH(32) = "02"

'Prepare output file  
OutFileName = WSS.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") & "\~RegSet.reg"
Set OutFile = FSO.OpenTextFile(OutFileName, 2, "True")

'Write data to reg file
OutFile.WriteLine("Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00")
OutFile.WriteBlankLines(1)
OutFile.WriteLine("[" & OutKey & "]")
OutFile.Write("""Settings""=hex:" & RegOutH(0))

If xl > 0 then
    For x = 1 to xl
        If (x mod 21) = 0 then 
            OutFile.WriteLine(",\")
            OutFile.Write("  " & RegOutH(x))
        Else
            OutFile.Write("," & RegOutH(x))
        End if
    Next
End If
    
OutFile.Close()

'Run the reg file
Set RunReg = WSS.Exec("REGEDIT /S " & OutFileName)

'Wait for it to finish
Do While RunReg.Status = 0
     WScript.Sleep 100
Loop


'Finish up
Wscript.Quit

You can run it from CMDLINES.TXT like this

"CScript RegSet.vbs //NoLogo //T:10"

LoL i've finished a stable unattend and the reg keys mentioned in this post DON'T EXIST anymore. The only in depth key i have is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop

with 2 entries:

TaskBarWinXP(reg_binary) - long hexa...

Toolbars(reg_binary) - v. short hexa...

no more streams 1,2...n keys and i guess those tweaks contains junk they are not general as in for anybody(stream keys)

after i enabled quick launch and rebooted just in case no new keys appeared! so i guess the settings are contained within those 2 keys above.

as for status bar details view there must be something slimer and simpler than this ... i guess importing ntuser.dat is a beter way in a lack of otions what do you say?

I also think it is some bin value in "TaskBarWinXP", because I tried it with Server 2003 and it first don't worked to enable quicklaunch. After I noticed that it is named only "TaskBar" in 2k3 and changed it, it worked.

The statement that it's just a few byte to toggle to enable the quick launch bar comes from a wrong observation.

The streams for the taskbar are only written during the windows shut-down process. So any taskbar setting you change will only be present in the registry after a restart.

PS

Running

for /f "skip=4 tokens=4" %%A in ('reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop /v "Default Taskbar"') DO (
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop /f /v "Default Taskbar (Personal)" /t REG_BINARY /d %%A
)

during cmdlines.txt works fine.

Does someone know how to force the QuickLaunch to load/save his settings ?

b.t.w. its the 8th byte that has to be set

I wrote a short vbscript in another QuickLaunch tread in this forum

in there is the script and the possible settings.

problem is how to force the QuickLaunch to load / save his settings

I tried to send an settings changed broadcast but that does not work.(see other tread)

maybe you can send a shutdown request only to QuickLaunch ?

gr /\/\o\/\/

(Edited : Oops the 8th byte not the 5th (corrected), added qoutes from onther tread

0c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,02 < --------------

the setting we do want is at the 8th Byte -|

(2 in my case)

possible are (as far as i know) 1 = disabled 2 = Off 3 = On

Dim MyReg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.CurrentUser, "YourPuter")

Dim MyRegKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey

MyRegKey = MyReg.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\", True)

Dim a As Byte()

a = MyRegKey.GetValue("TaskbarWinXP")

a(8) = 3 ' <- value to make selectable (removed for readability)

MyRegKey.SetValue("TaskbarWinXP", a)

The 8th byte is the number of toolbars (quick launch being one of them) on the taskbar.

You can force the taskbar to reload the hard way by killing the last explorer task via the task manager.

Then start the explorer again in the task manager->File->New Task

This is known to work invariably without problems (for XP SP1 and above):

;=========================================

Copy/paste the above in any .reg file, and apply it during T-13 (through cmdlines.txt). [Cmdlines.txt is a plain-text file to be placed directly in the $OEM$ folder.]

For example, have QuickLaunch.reg directly in $OEM$, and this command in cmdlines.txt:

[Commands]
"regedit /S .\QuickLaunch.reg"

Now, this has enabled the Quick Launch bar for all users.
