May 20, 200521 yr Hello, Is there a way I can automatically set the XP shell to display the "My Computer", "Network Places", and "Internet Explorer" icons on the desktop during an unattend install? I've searched though the fourms for a reg key or an option in my default theme file and haven't located anything useful. Thanks in advance!

The only change I want to make is to add the My Computer icon to my desktop, so my reg tweaks file has this:;----- ;----- Show My Computer on the Desktop ;-----[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000Hope this helps.@BlueMeIn the future, please use code or codebox tags when posting blocks of code.
