Do you use the $OEM$\DOCS\ADMINISTRATOR folder on your CD that gets copied over?

If it see's an existing one, I think it creates a new ID/profile.

If that is the case, then you need to tweak things to get the desired effect, without an existing ADMINISTRATOR folder.

Try putting what you want in the Default User folder or the ALL User folder

hi

thanks 4 responding, no i dont do that at all

[WwTIPPYwW]

does the cmdline.txt create something that would confuse the PC into thinking that ADMINSTRATOR is used already and create a new ID ADMINISTRATOR.PC_NAME?

I am pretty sure that I read in the forum somewhere that because the ID already existed, it creates a new ID with the PC name on it.

the only thing in cmdlines.txt i have is the command 2 install regtweaks during t-13 , rest goes & t-9 & it works fine :S

[WwTIPPYwW]

what are your reg tweaks? do they create administrator settings that mess it up?

[MCT]

nope, its basically just tweaks 2 change things like disabling highlighting of new programs in start menu, just GUI tweaks basically

ive removed cmdlines.txt & that didnt help :S only thing else i can think of, is it could be something with xplode & T-9 maybe?

Something is creating a folder called "Administrator" in your Docs & Settings directory before the Administrator account logs in.

When you log into Windows, if there is a folder with the same username that is not part of the profile Windows creates a new folder and appends .<computername> or .<domain> (if a member of one).

Somewhere before the first logon, that "Administrator" folder is being created.

What do you have going on in XPLode at T-9? Any files being copied? Desktop icons? InstallRite (or other) installation packages?

MCT,

You're not making things any easier on the people that are making an effort to help you. From what I read people are suggesting things and you simply reply by saying "that's not it" or "I don't do that"...

It WOULD help a great deal if you could TELL US what exactly it is you ARE doing instead of letting us guess. Post your code! Your question has been answered many times before. And whether you like it or not, windows does this by design; ITS you that's making a mistake somewhere! Either search MSFN or state your situation clearly! This is going nowhere!!!

From an experienced poster like yourself I would expect a little more common sense!

ive had the same tweaks & things (nothing different) & its always worked b4 , but now its giving me the username thing, its not a big deal really, ill just keep playing til i get it

[Dustinwmew]

do you have a "$OEM$\$Docs\administrator\" folder on your CD?

(people have all really asked this but not in a simple way.)

[MCT]

nope, only oem folder's i have are

$OEM$\$1\Install\Apps

$OEM$\$1\Install\Xplode

$OEM$\$$\System32

$OEM$\$$\Fonts

$OEM$\$$\Web

$OEM$\$$\Regtweaks

$OEM$\$$\Cursors

$OEM$\$Progs75\Opera\Plugins

like i said, these have worked fine b4 flawlessly

i figured the above is the easiest 2 explain the folders

This is because the user administrator was already existing on the target partition. (You didn't format it before installing ? )

[MCT]

ya, i did, maybe its a glitch with vmware? cuz the hdd isnt a "real" hdd & maybe windows format got messed up ?

btw: thanks 4 all the posts
