Does that Autoit script work when started during XP's first boot?

As in, starting it with a CMD-file that's started with the GuiRunOnce command...

Edited May 2, 200818 yr by bartgrefte

I've got a strange behaviour when I activate Quick Launch with this guide:

When I add the reg key with $oem$/cmdlines.txt Windows changes the keyboard layout to All Users. In my unattend.txt I set the [RegionalSettings] to German/Switzerland. But with this Quick Launch-Thing the keyboard layout changes to US.

What could be the reason for this?

To enable quicklaunch on Windows XP I use the following regtweak:

;enable quick-launch bar near start-menu

Works everytime

To be abundant, in my unattended install I'm using

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2

to set taskbar size and position and

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\streams\desktop

to set taskbar settings like quick launch size and so.

But with this registry keys I couldn't achieve to change quick launch icons size to large icons.

Did I make a mistake?

Is there another reg key to do this?

Hi Guys,

Thx for the tutorial on the Quicklaunch Bar.

I've still got a question though...

For all the users in my network, I want the option "Show Titles" on the quicklaunch bar to be turned off. The registry key's in bla,bla\explorer\streams ans bal,bla\explorer\struct2 however don't seem to hold the right setting for that option. Regshot shows no change when I set the option manually.

I've tried exporting both reg-keys and tested an import of the keys while logging off and on.. no change in the status op the option.

Obviously there is a different reg-key or file used for the setting... but I just can't seem to find it !

If someone else knows how to make the setting.. please respond !

Maybe someone knows about a Kix/CMD or VB-script to do the job

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED !
