If I want to share my nLite settings with someone else or, conversely, to use someone’s else settings in my project, all is needed – to pass the <Last Session.ini> file. Correct?

I am using Win XP-32 SP2.

Thanks.

Yes

With both new versions of the download when I try to install it in Win2000, it pops a DOS cmd window and issues the following:

Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 9/11/2008
Time: 12:19:25 PM
Application popup: 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem : C:\DOCUME~1\FABIAN~1\Desktop\NLITE-~1.EXE
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:054b IP:0207 OP:63 6f 6e 74 65 Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

Also, I am unable to download with even "Save as" via IE6. I can only do it in NS7.

Little Bug

If your write in RunOnce:
%Source%\Bla\Bla
Then nLite makes if Batch is started:
%Source%\\Bla\Bla

Hi,

use nLite to include in Windows XP source a file entries.ini. This file contain registry tweaks of format inf that are additional to file NLITE.IN_. During the integration of the file entries.ini, all the folders on the desktop are copied inside the i386 folder of the source. It's normal?

Cheers

No this is not normal, make sure you archive your entries.ini and integrate the zip, cab, rar or 7zip instead of the ini

No bug here. This is normal. This variable already contain backslash. So your path need to looks like:

%Source%Bla\Bla

This is done because in some cases this variable would not mean anything without backslash. Example is with drives. For example if you DVD drive is assigned to letter F, you will not never type F: to access it, you will always type:

F:\

Hi Ricks and thank you for having responded.

I had already tried to compress the file entries.ini, but the folders were copied to the same. I did some testing and I think I have solved the problem. Everything depends on the location of the file entries that should not be on your desktop, anywhere, but not on the desktop.

Thanks again...

Bye

Strange, it works fine for me. I have this entry in my RunOnce:

%SOURCE%\Batch\makefolders.bat

and it works fine.

Nuhi, got a bunch of feature requests for you & a few suggestions for improvement.

1. Although I don't use IE [or to be more exact, Maxthon] as much as I used to, 1 thing that annoys me is I sometimes find myself clicking the E-mail Picture entry on the context menu for images instead of Save Picture As. In XP32 I was able to disable the menu entry [but not remove it - clicking it just had no result] with the following command:

regsvr32 /s /u sendmail.dll

But this doesn't seem to work in XP64. I've also tried Nirsoft's ShellExView, which doesn't do it either. Any ideas on disabling this?

2. On the import screen in nLite it would be better if the date format could match that of the system it's being run on.

3. Please allow setting of user specified homepage, beyond just nLite homepage, Google, or about:blank.

4. Disable desktop cleanup:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz]
"NoRun"=dword:00000001

5. nLite sets user variables for temp folder, but doesn't set them for system variables in the bottom part of the environment variables window, that can be fixed quite easily, for example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"TEMP"="C:\\Temp"
"TMP"="C:\\Temp"

6. Options to set location of temporary internet files & cookies folder [hivedef.inf], for example:

U_SHELL_FOLDERS_CACHE="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Temporary Internet Files"
U_SHELL_FOLDERS_COOKIES="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Cookies"

7. Option to turn off notification about automatic updates in security centre.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
"UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

8. remove IE & OE links from pinned section of start menu

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu]
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"=dword:00000001
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000001

9. option to display quicklaunch folder on taskbar by default.

10. option to set taskbar to double-height.

11. individual selection of games & internet games, as in which ones to install or not.

12. Folder options:
Single click to open file
underline files when I point to them
turn off remember each folder's view settings

13. selection of which screensavers to install, which 1 to set as default, & time limit setting.

14. Is there any way to seperate Infrared hardware support from Bluetooth? At the moment it says that Infrared support is needed for Bluetooth.

15. Why does an update for windows agent show up if agent was removed?

enable tweak "use small icons in start panel"
is supposed to set key :
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced","Start_LargeIcons",0x00010001,0

This key does not exist even when enabled large icons everywhere, start menu and desktop..

The second part of this tweak , Start_LargeMFUIcons, DOES exist. I confirmed this with a clean xp 64 sp2 source.

edit found another error in "Disable DNS Failure cache" tweak

HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters","NegativeCacheTime",0x00010001,0
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters","NetFailureCacheTime ",0x00010001,0
HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters","NegativeSOACacheTime ",0x00010001,0

The errors are "NetFailureCacheTime " and "NegativeSOACacheTime " , as one can see there's an empty space at the end.


edit2: Add Administrative tools menu tweak
this tweak sets
HKCU,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced","StartMenuAdminTools",0x00010001,1

this key uses YES or NO. not 1 or 0. Also confirmed with clean source.

edit3: disable Outlook express link creation still leaves these two keys to be done.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}]
"StubPath"=hex(2):00,00
and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\>{881dd1c5-3dcf-431b-b061-f3f88e8be88a}]
"StubPath"=hex(2):00,00

As one can see i removed the values already.

Tweak : disable media player 6.4 created bookmarks x64 part missing:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95}]

In windows media player tweaks:
Enhanced privacy settings tweak sets "UpgradeCodecPrompt"=dword:00000001 and
disable automatic codec download sets "UpgradeCodecPrompt"=dword:00000000, so one of them would cancel the other one out..


Many of the tweaks doesnt do the x64 part such as My Computer\"Remove Shared Documents" tweak
leaves HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\DelegateFolders\{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} to also be deleted.

i've used nlite to make unattended xp, everything is working fine. i'm trying to assign a password to users through user accounts which is also accepting it. but when i m restarting the computer, xp is loading without asking for any password or user selection.

any solutions pls.

[jmbattle]

Press Windows key + R to bring up a run box, then type:

control userpasswords2

Check the 'Users must enter a username and password to use this computer' box, then click 'Okay'.

I have created a topic under : "in [Default Hide] mode most nlite tweaks are not applied. Please Help" but no one has give me any tip to my problem which is a general problem for all those who create un UXPCD in "Default hide" mode.
Hereby I repost it, please geeks help me:

anass_f, on Sep 17 2008, 01:43 AM, said:

Hi guyz.
I made two copies of my UXPCD, one is fully unattended and just fine, the other one is for repairing purpose so I choosed "Default hide" mode in it.
Since in this mode the "$OEM$" is ignored so "cmdlines.txt" won't run --> "nlite.inf" which contains all the tweaks prepared by nLite firstly for the "Full Unattended" mode won't be applied either.

I would apply all these tweaks once the windows repair/reinstallation made by the seconde CD is finished . So I tried the following:
expand the "i386\nlite.in_" into "system32\nlite.inf"
run : "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection nLite.inf,nlite"

That did nothing as far as I noticed .
Any possible trick here?
Thank you in advance for u all

I also expanded "i386\nhelper.ex_" to "system32\nhelper.exe", because it's called in "RunOnce" by "nlite.inf".

I manually set the "NetBT" (Net BIOS over TCP/IP) to "automatic", my "nlite.inf" should bring it to "disabled" once applied. Using my method the service stay unchanged, that's why I suppose it doesn't work.

Integration failure:

WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB956391-x64-ENU.exe (Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits) appears to integrate successfully but still shows on windows update.

Silent install method works (WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB956391-x64-ENU.exe /Passive /NoRestart).

[TranceEnergy]

KB938464 and KB951759 for windows xp x64bit also fail integration. Using the /integration with the kb itself works, or as kurt says manual install. I can verify Kurt Aust's last post.

Hello Everyone,

I'm having an issue with (I think) NLite, and it would be great if someone ele out there could confirm if I'm crazy or not. I happened upon this quite by accident, and I have it outlined in this thread



Thanks,
Charlie

On W2K Pro, "ms comic sans bold" is still reported missing during setup. (the actual name is shorter). No (extra) fonts were removed. It allows to continue by pressing esc, this is very early in the setup stage (copying files to HDD I think). I remember this issue present since forever.

Is this a bug in nLite or my source? (I think the source is OK).

(About the attached file, there was a first NLite pass before it, integrating SP4 and Windows2000-KB891861.EXE only).
