Fo3 Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Hi everyone, thanks for all the info you guys post.I've recently made a slipstreamed unattended xp install with all the updates released so far. Took me a few goes with a cdrw, but now I got a cd that installs an updated xp. I have done a few reg tweaks I like as well, such as no popups, no cd autoplay, no shared documents etc. But I was wondering if any of you could point me in the rigth driection for other things I do for every xp install. That is:set start menu and control panel to classicset theme to classic (no wallpaper, win2k style taskbar etc)Set performance options in advanced properties to maximise(just have 'show contents while dragging enable')manually set page file to 1024mb on c:disable auto updates and remote accessdisable monitoringI suppose that all for now, these are the things I do within the first few minutes of any xp installation. If there are quick fixes for them it could allow me to get straight into customising for the individual PC, like drivers side of things.Thanks.

gosh Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 There's no way to set performance options via a registry file, because when you first boot into windows the registry keys are updated. You would need a vbscript that would change the performance options.For the pagefile, you could probably edit the registry key for that, i believe it's under Memory Management.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geckotek Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 So this lets you set the pagefile size right? What about moving it to another HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
