Cozmo1 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Hi I have two questions, if I may..1) How can I set it (prefereably in my regtweaks.reg file) to change the Windows default theme from the default blue to the Silver one? Just the Appearance one.2) Also would like to change the default wallpaper for Windows from the default bliss.bmp to something I'd rather use... .bmp I have this set as a possibility:In Regtweaks.reg I put this command in:;Set the default wallpaper[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\myxp.bmp""WallpaperStyle"="2""TileWallpaper"="0"And I put my myxp.bmp here: \$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\myxp.bmpDoes that look correct? Because something seems off about it.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) wallpaper looks correct, if you import prior to the user loging on (CMDLINES.TXT) or prior the desktop loading (RunOnceEX)As for teh theme....[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ThemesManager]ColorName="Metallic"Should probally do ya. Same rules as above for when to import. Edited January 13, 2005 by Alanoll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillalph Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I do basically the same thing. Follow what I did in this post. Basically, setup your desktop (visual style, wallpaper) the way you like it and then save as a .theme and add the entry to winnt.sifhttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...ndpost&p=250759]Bonkers[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo1 Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Awesome! Thank you! I'm running it using cmdlines.txt One other question that just crept up if I may...What would be the best way to silently run a .vbs script? In other words, I want it to run with my start.cmd but don't know of any tags to make it run silently w/o any prompts. Unless, of course, someone knows a way to add TweakUI to the Control Panel using the registry?Much obliged and thank you again for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I thought VBS scripts naturally run silently without any prompts, unless they're programmed in.... i could be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo1 Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 I thought VBS scripts naturally run silently without any prompts, unless they're programmed in.... i could be wrong...You are most likely correct. I will make an iso of my image and install it into virtual pc and let you know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo1 Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well... the registry entry for the theme didn't work. I did notice the path wasn't correct, but even after being corrected it didn't work. I'm going to try ]Bonkers[ method next.Where does one put their .vbs file to have it load into windows? I put it in $OEM$ because that's where cmdlines.txt resides, but the .vbs didn't load. Hmm... I'm doing something wrong for sure. Back to the drawing board I go.

ToBe Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Unless, of course, someone knows a way to add TweakUI to the Control Panel using the registry?TweakUI in the control panel:;Show TweakUI at Control Panel[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}]@="TweakUI""InfoTip"="Start TweakUI for advanced settings in Windows"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\DefaultIcon]@="%SystemRoot%\\\\System32\\\\tweakui.exe,0"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell\Open][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\Shell\Open\command]@="tweakui.exe"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\ShellFolder]"Attributes"=dword:00000030[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}]@="TweakUI in the ControlPanel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmo1 Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sweet! Thank you, guys! That all worked real well. I found ]Bonkers[ method for the windows theme to work quite nicely, and ToBe's reg entry is just what I needed I must admit, Alanoll's reg modification should've worked. Not exactly sure why it didn't.Now I'm gonna work on some of the harder apps to silently install and deleting default wallpapers and icons before/during the install.Doh! Almost forgot... where should a person put a .vbs file to have it run silently or should I add its entry in my start.cmd file?Thanks again!
