After you have installed xp and it first starts, it runs an introduction movie.

Is there any way to stop this on an unattended setup?

You're referring to the welcome to windows XP tour that starts up after login?
;-----  Disable  Windows Tour
 ;-----
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]
"RunCount"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Tour]
"RunCount"=dword:00000000


Or are you referring to the OOBE ?

I use Factorymode = Yes under [Unattended] in the winnt.sif file. After setup it attemps to run %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Sysprep\Factory.exe (part of sysprep) but cant find it so continues. I autologon but dont know if it works this way if you want to add users manually.

It is before the runonce is executed.

Its an into movie with a white background at the start.

Sorry - ignore my last comment, the first responce was correct.

Do I just implement this from runonce, in a batch file?

in your winnt.sif file goto [Unattended] and add Factorymode = Yes like below
[Unattended]
    Factorymode = Yes

After the GUI mode of setup has completed this will be run by the winnt.sif file, no extra additions are needed

Yes, you can either use the winnt.sif value that benners mentions, or use the registry tweak I mentioned (the registry tweak should be applied through cmdlines.txt).
