can someone tell me what of all that is preventing it from beeing set automatically ?

or else, can i use runonceex.cmd to run the "theme" file at first logon ? (without asking questions)

[Sesshoumaru]

is this the correct place for asking this ?

[fallenkirmit]

Hey I'm having the exact same problem....I first thought that it was the windows file protection kicking in so i disabled wfp with the use of a registry addition during my unattended setup...tryed the custom theme againl...wouldnt work...i checked in the appropriate folder to see if the theme copied over properly and it did....:-( so far that is the only problem i have left on my unattended cd...well...that and my custom welcome screen isnt working either.......

This is my RunOnceEx.cmd

; Disable Firewall Service ,Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Provides network address translation, addressing, name resolution and/or intrusion prevention services for a home or small office network. Used to allow multiple computers on your network to access the internet via only one account. This service installs on the "modem" computer. If you are using a third party firewall or Internet Connection Sharing software package, this service is not required.

;Themes Service ,The themes service is responsible for Visual Styles. Using Microsoft® Windows® XP, you can now define the visual style or appearance of controls and windows from simple colors to textures and shapes. You can control each defined part of a control as well as each part of the non-client (frame and caption) area of a window. The user can then use the Appearance tab in the Windows Control Panel to switch between the classic visual style and other available styles.A visual style is included with the Windows XP release. Using helper libraries and application programming interfaces (APIs),you can incorporate the Windows XP visual style into your application with few code changes. For more information, see the Platform SDK documentation in the MSDN Library.If your memory conscious and does not care about the "new" XP look, disable this service to save RAM. I have observed between 4 MB to 12 MB of RAM used for the new themes.

I've found it to be an inttermittent problem. I'd re-nlite and try again. That's what I did (using VMware)
