Found this info in the updated help files, I've personally used the reg tweak during setup to no avail??

Has anyone managed to get this one to work without sysprep. I don't quite understand the last part of the reg where it states the icons,

eg.

IconPath: REG_SZ (Icon for network)

Taken from the latest readme_waik

HELP UPDATE: Workaround for the Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup/OOBE/NetworkLocation setting.

The Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup/OOBE/NetworkLocation setting is not functioning properly. Use the following workaround to:

• Suppress the Network Location page in Windows Welcome.

• Prevent the Network Location dialog box from appearing after the user created in Windows Welcome logs on for the first time.

To work around the NetworkLocation setting

1. Run sysprep /oobe /quit /unattend:unattend.xml.

This unattend.xml file can contain the NetworkLocation unattend setting, because it is being used to suppress the OOBE Network Location page.

2. Create a new registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Signatures\FirstNetwork.

3. Under this registry key, create the following values:

• NetworkName: REG_SZ (Name of the network)

• Category: REG_DWORD

• 0 to set to public

• 1 to set to private (maps to home/work)

• IconPath: REG_SZ (Icon for network)

• IconPath="%WINDIR%\system32\NetworkList\Icons\StockIcons\House"

• IconPath="%WINDIR%\system32\NetworkList\Icons\StockIcons\Office"

• IconPath="%WINDIR%\system32\NetworkList\Icons\StockIcons\Bench"

4. Restart the computer.

It just means enter the string that represents the path to the icon you want to use in the IconPath key. If you don't care what the icon looks like, just ignore it.

I use the regtweak during setup and it works great.
