Recommended Posts

probably it's somewhere here on MSFN, but msfn is a little bit big :D

Problem: Where can i find these settings (image below), i think it will be some reg settings but i have not found it jet.

I want to predefine te start menu and explorer-toolbar shown here. So i don't have to do it afterwards (win installation) , wouldn't be unattended anymore :}

Get everything the way you'd like it to be on new installs for your profile, then copy your profile's ntuser.dat file to your CD. I use the following to copy that to new installations during setup in a script in [setupParams] (obviously with some other things in the folder structure as well, but the ntuser.dat is the most important file):

attrib -h "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User"
attrib -h -r "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data"
attrib -h "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat"
xcopy "%sourcepath%unattend\profile\Quick Launch" "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch" /s/i/q
copy /y "%sourcepath%unattend\profile\Internet Explorer.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu"
copy /y "%sourcepath%unattend\profile\Windows Explorer.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu"
copy /y %sourcepath%unattend\profile\ntuser.dat "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User"
copy /y "%sourcepath%unattend\profile\Task Manager.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
copy /y "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools"
attrib +h "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User"
attrib +h +r "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data"
attrib +h "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\ntuser.dat"

thnx,

this what i just found, solves the startmenu problem. But is the Explorer Toolbar stored in ntuser.dat?? or are therefore also reg tweaks?
