Sorry if it's a double post but I didn't find what I really want.

The thing is... I'm trying to integrate some registry tweaks in my unattended Windows XP PRO instalation. I read a lot of posts telling that I need runonceex.cmd or cmdlines.txt or [guirunonce] on winnt.sif, install on the t12 step (don't know what the hell it is!!!).
Anyway, I tried everything but I don't know where to put the files I created.
If I use cmdlines.txt I'll need another .cmd file with the scripts, but where to put the files? in i386 or in $OEM%\$$\. Or if I'm use runonceex.cmd where to put the file? Do I need to specify it on winnt.sif? I really don't know.

I need the tweaks to be run before login, for the regtweaks in the HKCU to work on the new users as well. I know it's possible but I can't do it without help.

You can put your .reg files in the same directory as CMDLINES.TXT and then just call them directly in CMDLINES.TXT. There's no need for another .CMD file for registry tweaks. Just put your files in the same directory with CMDLINES.TXT and add a line similar to the following:

REGEDIT /S regfile.reg
