Regtweaks - when?

[a06lp]

should regtweaks be the first thing installed?

or does windows need time after logon to build the registry, and therefore it should be last?

I use cmdlines.txt to apply tweaks. But if you have some tweaks which are 3rd party program related, those may need to be applied after the programs are installed, but only if they may be overwritten.

Consideration is best depending on your setup configuration, etc.

[a06lp]

no 3rd party stuff. ALL windows-tweaking stuff

(IE, start menu, disabling services, etc.)

I like doing those(IE, start menu, disabling services, etc.) from cmdlines.txt so that they apply to all users created from that point on.

i just read the tutorial, seemed pretty straightforward...

1) create cmdlines.txt, calling regtweaks.reg

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S RegTweaks.reg"

2) put both cmdlines.txt, and regtweaks.reg in $OEM$

right?

I plan to test this on my next install...

(just did one today, and dont want to go through all of it again until theres more to test)

I usually apply mine twice. Once in cmdlines, and once at runonceex.

The one before is meant for default user, and the one after is for keys that may have been overwritten on program installs, or first login.
