My CD is finally working (thanks to everyone - especially bor3d)

But now I want to customise it a bit.

I realise some of these may not be possible but just try to help with as many as possible.

Anyone tell me how I can:

1. Remove volume icon from taskbar
2. Turn off allow indexing service in hard drive properties
3. Add My computer, My documents, My network places, internet explorer, outlook express to desktop
4. Disable highlight newly installed programs ins tart menu
5. Disable hide inactive icons in taskbar
6. Show quick launch icons. Only Internet explorer and if possible outlooke xpress and windows explorer
7. Remove the language bar.
8. Remove "My recent Documents" from start menu
9. clear recent applications list in start menu (not disable just reset)
10. Disable "tour" popup on taskbar
11. Disable automatic downloading and installing of windows updates
12. Disable remote assistance and remove shortcut from start menu (all programs)
13. Remove shortcut to windows movie maker in start menu (all programs -> accessories)
14. Remove shortcut to on-screen keyboard from start menu (all programs -> accessories -> accessability options)
15. Add "Games", "Benchmarks" and "Utilities" folders (without quotations) to start menu (all programs.
16. Add above (15) folders to Program files on C
17. Disable mouse shadow
18. set screen-saver to none
19. disable all effects in display properties -> appearance
20. Set control panel to classic view
21. Set "days to keep pages in history" in Internet Properties to 0
22. Show network connection status on taskbar
23. Disable hibernation
24. Remove sounds (Control panel -> Sounds and audio devices): WINDOWS - start windows, windows logoff NETMEETING - person joines, person leaves, receive calls, receive request to join WINDOWS EXPLORER - Empty recycle bin, start navigation

That's all for now and yes in case you're wondering: I am a prolific tweaker.

Thanks

Im not going to do all your researching for you, but i can point you in the right direction.

This website will most probably contain all the tweaks your looking for.

Click me

All you need to do is locate the registry tweaks your looking for, throw them in a text file, save it as a .reg file, and silently merge it to the registry.

Its nothing you couldnt find on the installation guide

[danielvh]

Ok I've used all the relevant ones on the site you linked me to but it still leaves a lot of tweaks/customisatons listed above unnadressed.

Any ideas anyone?
