What are all the $OEM$ folders?


Recommended Posts

I have read the $OEM$ Distribution Folders section of the Unattended Install and wanted to know if there were more folders then listed.

For instance, will $Desktop place a file or folder on the desktop if it is in that folder? If so what other folders names will work for other aspects of the $OEM$?

I just wanted to know if there are more since I have not been able to find it in my search of MSFN and GOOGLE.

You cannot use $Desktop as you don't know the user name yet.

The only user you know for sure is All Users

Thus

$Docs\All Users\Desktop

Any files placed there will appear for all users created in the future.

$Progs = Program Files

You already know the folder for Windows and Root, so what else do you need?

The stuff on the unattended guide for $OEM$ are all u can do with it.

e.g. if it says only $Docs $$ and $1, they are the only ones u can use.

Thank you Gee! This did work correctly so that means that "T D" is incorrect.

True... but M$'s documents say that's all u can do (yep, they have their own unattended guide but for businesses only. I'm not a business but I read it). So I put it down.
