so like me you are initiating the quicklaunch.vbs before the shell has loaded.

But this dosnt work for me, when the shell starts it opens the control panel and then pops up the start menu and thats where it stops.

hm well the one time I tried it my first_boot.cmd was in the wrong directory and so I initialized it by hand after the shell was loaded. So I see were this is going.

I have a solution for this though. Havd a cmd file that runs that vbs script dump it into the statup folder. Then after it runs the vbscript have it delete itself.

I'll try it out now to see if that works. it should though.

AS well as quick launch, what about the actual Start Menu.

Anyone know a way to select the "Classic StartMenu" by default? :/

the classic style themes are done in the winnt.sif like so

[shell]

DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

DefaultThemesOff = Yes

; defaultthemesoff = yes will override this setting

; CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%systemroot%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

as for the other I found running it for the second time that it will indeed work ok you just need to give it longer before reboot. So I'm upping mine to 120 second before reboot.

I dont't think that will solve my problem as i don't reboot the pc, but the startup folder will, i think ill go with that route.

I just have to figure out how to del the file from within the vbs.
