• Added Windows 2000 SP4 specific information
  
• Added Slipstreaming SATA/RAID Drivers information
  

Ok taking a break... I think if I add anything else I will break the forums LOL

I think I may need to use text coloring for the seperate projects.. Win2k, XPSP1a, XPSP2.

Is it get hard to follow or is it still ok?

• Updated PDF so it is current.
  

i think the text coloring would be good..

Agreed I am going to use Blue, Green and Purple. Only because I have a few warnings and I prefer they stay red.

This is OUR guide! I am just the one gathering the information B)

DigitalAZ as most new user will have a retail xp and 2k cd with sp1 and sp4 slipstreamed by M$ the disk size is really 539mb for xp and a little over 400mb for 2k those with a gold versions of the os'es list below will have these disk sizes

Windows 2000 Professional Installation CD size : 380MB=no sp4

Windows XP Professional Installation CD size : 484MB=no sp1

Both of my retail CD's have no SP intergration. The sizes I listed are correct for Gold/Clean source which is what is recommended.

no every one has gold versions so you should factor that into your guide

btw it is a very good guide

forgot to mension it in an earlier post.... nice job

Would the SATA raid apply for my ABIT NF7-S? Looking a Abit page I see SiliconImage 3112A SATA Driver at http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/driver...ories=1&model=6

Any ideas ? Is it the same ?

Importing Registry Tweaks

There are several methods for importing tweaks into the registry. I choose the following because it takes place during Windows setup thus applying the settings to all users. HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry tweaks executed after setup apply only to current user. Another user logs in and the registry tweak is not applied.

* Create cmdlines.txt and place it in C:\working\xp_cd\$OEM$\

* Place the following into cmdlines.txt and save the file.

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S xp_cd.reg"

* Create xp_cd.reg and place it in C:\working\xp_cd\$OEM$\

* Place the following into xp_cd.reg and save the file.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"WallPaper"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"

The above code is merely an example. Place the HKCU registry tweaks you desire into this file. cmdlines.txt is automatically ran at the T-12/T-13 minute stage of Windows XP Setup.

I need a couple ?'s answered

First off when you say HKCU tweaks are executed after setup only apply to current user, making another login from a different user default and not "tweaked"

Does this mean HKLM and etc types of tweaks have the same rule?

And also can you only install HKCU tweaks through a cmdline.txt, or i also put in the many different types of tweaks such as HKLM etc and if it is true that HKCU tweaks are all that you can run through cmdlines.txt, will the tweak still work if i change HKLM tweaks to HKCU heading making them applied too HKCU instead of HKLM. Cause i thought HKLM tweaks were applied too all users machine wide, as were HKCU is only applied to the Current logged in user.

Thanks hope it makes sense. Just want to make sure before i am happy with my reg file to be installed with windows.

@ShakeNotStirr

you could just save ur regfile, and after u add a new user and execute the regfile once its just 3sec work

or if u have time to spare:

u c that DigitalAZ puts his tweaks in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ now I'm sure DigitalAZ is een nice guy but indeed, the tweaks only apply to the logged in user which isnt very handy

there is a default tree in the registry which is copied if u make a new user, so if u would tweak the default tree, then every user u add would b tweaked...

now I dont know if all current user tweaks can be set in default.. so u have to check urself if a key exsists in the default tree..which is located, here:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT

give it a shot

I hope this helps

[edit]

so

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"WallPaper"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"

would be

[HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"WallPaper"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"

u c that DigitalAZ puts his tweaks in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ now I'm sure DigitalAZ is een nice guy but indeed, the tweaks only apply to the logged in user which isnt very handy

You need to re-read what I posted.

I choose the following because it takes place during Windows setup thus applying the settings to all users. HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry tweaks executed after setup apply only to current user.

I read that, but appearently that guy wants the users he make's AFTER an install to be tweaked as wel.. so I explained to him wot he could do..

and sorry if I offended you in anyway but I still think tweaks are good for everyone and the default template for a user in the registry should be tweaked.. instead of the user tree's...
