he is assuming that you have an @echo off statement at the beginning of your batch script, if you don't, you can safely ignore his suggestion. (@echo hides the commands being executed from the window)

There probably is a registry hack for this, I'd either check the usual suspects (through google) or change it on a running system and monitor the change with regshot. that should give you the necessary information

The aspi32 problem could be related due to you removing scsi from your installation (with nlite for example.) - if you did that....

OR it's just a crappy VM configuration However, DarkPhoenix has a point, and I think so too...

meck meck. beat me to it

I did the following to achieve the effect you seek: - Install clean XP in VM - Take a VMWare Snapshot right after first logon (not required for this, but gawd, I love this feature, it's so helpful) - Install PowerToys - Adjust your normal user settings the way you want them to be. - Fire up Regshot (Google, go for the application's homepage, there is a link to the modified version which spits out .reg files) - Take your first Snapshot - In TweakUI, copy all the current settings to the logon profile - Take your second Snapshot and save the output from Regshot - Then remove the unnecessary keys from the output file (Windows Performance crap, etc.) - Apply the resulting .reg with your tweaks ---- OR, if you don't need theming, use one of the registry hacks from this forum to completely disable the 'Themes' service. (Or if you can't find it in the enormous reghacks thread here, just change the service properties in your clean windows and monitor the changed registry Keys using Regshot) ---- Btw, hello everyone, I'm new here as well (been around since Saturday, almost done with my first unattended )
