How do I disable the XP intro movie ?

[Rancor]

Hi guys

Just started playing around with creating my own unattended XPSP1 CD using the incredible guide at MSFN.org, but the XP "intro movie" starts playing in the middle of it, which sort of interrupts the unattended bit... is there any way to disable this ?? Maybe I missed some setting in my winnt.sif or ... ??

Any ideas or help would be most appreciated

Add UnattendSwitch="yes" to [unattended] to bypass the Welcome to Windows XP section of Setup.

Regarding this, I read that if you skip the welcome and don't enter a user, all of your programs that are installed are installed for Administrator only and will not be installed for other users. Any feedback on this?

Usually not an issue for me, but I might actually let my roommate use my PC from time to time for things his PC can't handle.

There is a way to create a username using cmdlines.txt during setup. It shouldn't be too hard to find if you search.

I have UnattendSwitch="0" in my winnt.sif, but the **** video still shows... might it be another of my settings that interfere with this ??

Here's a snip from my winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
    AutoActivate = No
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    Hibernation = No
    NoWaitAfterGuiMode = 1
    NoWaitAfterTextMode = 1
    OemSkipEula="Yes"
    OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Det4523\"
    OemPreinstall="Yes"
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    UnattendMode=DefaultHide
    UnattendSwitch="Yes"
    WaitForReboot="No"

Any ideas now ??

And oh yeah, speaking of users... is there a way to enable the default 'Add users' screen that pops up if you install XP "normally" ?? other than the cmdlines.txt-type method I mean...

I want to be able to add a default user, log in as "him" and then install the .reg tweaks and so forth... but maybe that's material for another thread

Unattendswitch should be 1 to skip the Welcome to Windows thingy, not 0

Errr, I must have been struck with something during my last post... of course I have UnattendSwitch="Yes" in my winnt.sif as I pasted myself

Use this : OemSkipWelcome=1 under [GuiUnattended]

Works for me.
