I have the following reg tweak in my reg file that is executre T-13 stage...

; DISABLE Start Menu Popping Up on First Boot
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000000

yet the start menu still pops up on first boot?

Any other suggestions?

Because you should be using a 2 instead of a zero.

Are you saying all the zero`s should be a 2?

HE SAY

"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002

I have this on my master image and it still comes up on first boot.

What's lowyat?

I think i've tried it with the 2 but like jgallas said still comes up...

Any more ideas?

Yea just tried with it as 2 but didnt work!

Entry should be in the HKCU hive:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002

That's what I'm saying. Don't know what to tell you, it works okay for me, unless I sysprep the machine.

I've noticed that when I sysprep a machine that setting seems to get changed somehow. Weird, but it happens. I think it may be that the Default User account gets changed back to the default. Or I missed a step somewheres.

This is what I have and it seems to work:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"StartButtonBallonTip"=dword:00000002

"StartMenuInit"=dword:00000002

Does this work for you?

ok, just tried that... doesn't work for me either!

Hmmm.... something smells fishy here. Are you sure that the reg entry is being executed and there isn't a conflicting registry entry somewhere in your tweaks file?

Does the reg entry "take"? For example, after you've applied this reg entry, can you open regedit, navigate to this key and see that they are set like we've shown you?

Just some ideas...

There are no other reg entries that conflict with those tweaks.

It is executed at T-13 from cmdlines.txt

So i'll check the regedit next time i use the disc.

That registry setting does get implied... so why does it not work for me!!!
