not sure on your hotfix problems but that registry key would only import on the machine and install it was created on.

This guid "S-1-5-21-1935655697-2111687655-725345543-500" will be unique to every install of XP. And on my machine I have no key that ends in -500, typically the administrator user.

maybe your right about that regkey

but i really want to remove this option (really annoying )

but i ve made a backup of the registry just when i finished to install windows without any regkey

than i ve removed this option and i ve made another backup of the registry

then in compared the two files with "windiff" and the only regkey who was modifyed was that one

than i tryed this regkey and it worked! now i dont remember if i ve put it killing explorer.exe and restarted this process after i run that reg key

anyway i ve tryed this regkey in the runonceex and it din't work

thanks for your replay

For KB873374 use this registry tweak instead:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GdiDetectionTool" /v "GDITool" /t REG_DWORD /d "00000001" /f

use /quiet /norestart for KB927978 and KB891122

thanks so much chon_

edit: but do you install KB873374 via RunOnceEx?

@IcemanND:

yes you were right

that key il always changing at every installation of win xp (with the same cd's source file), but it ends always with -500 (as you said) for Administrator account. now i think that i find the solution making a source code (in c++ or c#) who takes all the subkeys inside the key: USERS. now this key (the one that ends with -500 or wathever with the normal user account) is the "longest one - 1" (the longest one is "that key + _class"). so with that source, we can take all the subkeys inside the USERS key, and identify this key (lol sorry for this joke: key,key,key.. gh) and than change the value inside that one ^^

thanks

p.s: i hope that someone we 'll understand what i wrote LOL

For KB927978, it is not a critical hotfix but you could try this switch /q reboot=reallysuppress

For KB891122, it is not a critical hotfix and there are several versions of this file, you may need to specify more information if you need help with it!

For KB893803, if you read the opening post of the hotfixes thread it says to use switches /passive /norestart /quiet

For KB873374, if you read the opening post of the hotfixes thread it says to add the registry setting instead
