eyeball Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 hi guys,does anyone know how to get rid of the screen that first comes up once you have installed xp? the one that asks for a user name (it gives a list of about 5 boxes for you to enter user names in)sorry i dont know its real name but i wish i could just get rid of this screen/sequence of screens altogether as i only end up deleting that user i create anyway,thanks for any input on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherworldBob Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think I know the one you mean.In the unattended install there is an option to skip this screen, you just tell it what Usernames you want, and if to auto register or not, if done correctly, it won't even flash up.Not sure of the exact way to get rid of it off the top of my head, but it can definately be done.

ironside Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 In your winnt.sif file add:[GuiUnattended]OemSkipWelcome=1Hopefully That should disable that welcome screen for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
