gosh Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Awhile ago i was making a win2k 4in1 all in one cd, but gave up due to lack of interest. I thought i would share some of my ideas from that project.1 - Disable automatic updates. Delete au.in_ and download this file to your i386 folder, download it here.2 - Disable connection wizard iconDon't you hate that icon on your desktop from the connection wizard? Well i do. Download this file and save it in your i386 folder. Delete icwnt5.in_.3 - Customize the default profile.The way i customized profiles is to modify hifedef.inf. Download mine here . Overwrite your hivedef.inf with mine. To find what i changed, search the file for changed_win2k. I've tested it and it works perfect. It's great for beginners.Enjoy. All .inf files are for win2k sp4. All .inf files you can get from the free sp4 download.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcx9 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Wondered if you had a hivedef.inf for xp pro I could take a look at as well?Numinous has been playing around with this method to change the settings for the default.user but the syntax is a little different than reg files.

gosh Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Here's my list of changes to win2k and xp. Like i said i abandoned the project, so it's incomplete. But you could just copy and paste my settings to your hivedef.inf. Below is my list of changes.txt:Hivecls.inf creates Classes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.Hivedef.inf creates HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT and the Ntuser.dat for the default user.Hivesft.inf creates HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.Hivesys.inf creates HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM.Hiveusd.inf does not create accessible hives.;
