How do I take out the "Welcome To Windows" etc.


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

first post here. created my bootable slipstream sp2 CD. works a charm. I have a question though....I have my admin account getting added and it works but how do I automatically get rid of that XP EXPERIENCE screen + it prompting you to add users + it prompting to register etc....you guys know what I'm talking about....that little movie in white etc..

I am bad at explaining it but I think you guys get the gist. Otherwise, thanks for the help!!!

When you install windows you are doing it unattended right. If so the way to skip that silly musical sequence with the talking questionmark is to put the following text into your winnt.sif answer file

[GuiUnattended]

OemSkipWelcome = 1

Good luck :thumbup

This is my winnt.sif file, the only difference i can see is the quotation marks on some items, which shouldnt really make a difference, but in the deployment tools reference file it does not use them. not really sure why you are getting that problem though.

...let me repeat myself, we're only trying to help and i only tried to post both solutions.

Hey guy yourself...

True... but the problem is you consistently repeat previous post adding no content to the discussion. Just trying to make you aware of that... GUY! :P

I removed the quotes but still the Welcome to Windows comes up. I'm going to start over at this point. Don't have much to lose at this point. Thanks for the help.
