PryGuy Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hello all!Well, I have a problem disabling the nasty taskbar animations durin the Windows Unattended Installation. I apply the following registry setting during the installation process using CMDLINES.TXT:[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000Windows installs, boots up, and first thing I see is the bloody taskbar animations! I have an idea that it just overwrites my setting with it's own settings during the account creation process. I have tried applying it with the [GuiRunOnce] section in the WINNT.SIF file, but it doesn't work as well...I have the same problems disabling screensaver and applying No Sounds scheme.

PryGuy Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 I HAVE FOUND HOW TO TURN OFF THE NASTY "SLIDE TASKBAR BUTTONS" OPTION DURING THE SETUP BY DEFAULT"!!!Yes, "TaskbarAnimations"=dword:00000000 really turns off the Taskbar Animation, but it doesn't work if you put it in the REG file and apply it using the CMDLINES.TXT or the [GuiRunOnce] section in the WINNT.SIF file. I think that's because of the fact that Windows kinda tests your system to see if it's possible to handle all the silly eye candies everytime you create a new user account. But I have discovered that one can override it putting the following lines in your REG file and importing it using the CMDLINES.TXT method:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\TaskbarAnimations]"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000"DefaultByAlphaTest"=dword:00000000Already tested it, works fine!
