nuhi Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Disable prompting for Windows Update when new hardware is found in WinXP SP2:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching]"DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001"DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001
gospeed Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 I have gotten pretty far with making my own unattended CD including tons of stuff I have read about on this site, but now I am stumped! I have searched quite a bit here and I cant seem to find the answer. I have all these reg tweaks that I want to use saved as "setup.reg" and saved in my C:\test\$OEM$\$1\Install folder along with my other programs that are installing correctly. I have actually tried it in a few different folders from what I gathered from posts here and other websites, but I have never seen anyone explain where this is supposed to reside? I have installed quite a few features into my xp install disk so far, but this has me stumped! Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome. I named it .txt just to post it here, it is .reg (disabled "hide extensions" after my last problem;) within my folder.setup.txt
XtremeMaC Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 u can put it anywherejust call it right...u can call it from cmdlines.txtrunonceexetc.. just use a correct path for it.
gospeed Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Edit...think I figured it out...the search function took some "creative wording" to find what I was looking for! I ended up placing all these tweaks in my C:\test3\$OEM$\$1\Install folder and called it in my C:\test3\$OEM$\$$\source.bat folder- seems to work great, all the tweaks do what they are supposed to. Anyone have a tweak to remove the sample files, like the My Music folder and the My Pictures? Maybe I missed it but I have tried! thanks all for the help---Jeff
Professor Frink Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 Is there a reg tweak that will by default set the screensaver to "none"? I already am using the one that makes the monitor never turn off:;-----Set power settings to "Presentation"-----[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg]"CurrentPowerPolicy"="2"But I'd also like to make it so that with each user's first logon, the screensaver is set to "none". Then they can set one later if they want.Is there a reg edit that will do that?
creopard Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 this one worked for me:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="(none)"
XtremeMaC Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 HEYto all u ppl who use outlook and want to use alternate folders I finally found the registry key for it [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook]"ForcePSTPath"="d:\\Documents\\Mail\\"
neophyte Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 XtremeMaC: If you find a reg tweak that forces Office to start up using a particular folder (ie, "Sent Items" instead of "Inbox") post it here
Cronos XP Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 That's a really useful tweak, XtremeMaC, but the problem is the Office version you're installing. That tweak would definitely not work for me as I'm using Office XP, which is version 10 of Office. So I'm guessing you're installing Office 2003? You have to first find out what Office you're installing and modify that key accordingly.For example, for Office XP it shoul look like this:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook]"ForcePSTPath"="d:\\Documents\\Mail\\"
XtremeMaC Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 yes that's very true I thought everyone was able to spot that @neophyte working on it
XtremeMaC Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 good new neophyte I found it and tested it at least it works on my comp Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046]"001e0336"="8001010118000000749C0E03720000008C9C0E03000000007B04282DC29C794FA069DADDA4EC7C6E828000000000000038A1BB1005E5101AA1BB08002B2A56C200006D737073742E646C6C00000000004E495441F9BFB80100AA0037D96E0000000044003A005C0044006F00630075006D0065006E00740073005C004D00610069006C005C004F00750074006C006F006F006B002E007000730074000000"u wanna test it and report back if it doesn't work for u i'll just delete itbut i think it will work it doesn't seem to be a sid'ed valueow btw this changes to inbox from anything else
neophyte Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 Fully Sick. I'll have to check out my little configurations (I have mine set to open to the "Unread Mail" search folder, because I have rulesets applied, I like to still read my mail from the one spot).Oh, can this be applied before Office is installed?Muchios appreciatos!
