Shell Replacement Install Question


emac

Recommended Posts

I want to add Talisman shell replacement as part of my unattended windows xp w/ sp2 installation. With a theme I've already picked up, and have it load at startup, 1st time, etc.

What would be the silent unattended flags for this.

Talisman 2.98

I've search this board and found nothing on talisman, and if possible, the flags to litestep too, had problems with talisman but wish to use it, if it gets too crashed, I'll go with litestep instead.

I want this used instead of the explorer.exe shell.

thanks

I'm not sure if this willl help but what I did with Aston shell was:

install it

set it up the way I like it

backup it's directory and registry settings

use a 7zip install to install it manually

I used installrite to get the proper registry keys

unfortunately you have to reboot in order to make it the default shell.

Here are the registry keys that I use to set my shell to Litestep.

You should be able to to apply these to any other shell (provided you set the correct path.)


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\LITESTEP\\LITESTEP.EXE"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot]
"Shell"="USR:Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon"
