Hey guys,
This is going to be the thread where I am asking my Unattended Install questions. I've looked through all of the guides and have not come to find the answers to the questions I was looking for, so hopefully you guys can come through for me [as always].
1) When I ran it, the first thing I noticed is that it wanted me to login as the Administrator... The issue I am having with this, is that I want to have a default user with no password there, but at the same time have my own administrator password set in the background. It's a safety precaution I use, if someone has a computer and screws it up, I'll still be able to get in using Adminstrator password... Any ideas?
***INCOMPLETE***
2) When Windows first loaded, for some reason [I wasn't expecting this to happen at all], Windows loaded the Classic toolbar instead of the "XP Blue" version... I don't remember any settings at ALL in the Answer File that I specified it to be this way... why would that have occured?
***INCOMPLETE***
3) I'm a Sound Whore... I don't use custom sounds, but one of the first things I do in Windows is always create my same default sound scheme, b/c for some reason Windows doesn't associate any sounds to minimizing, maximizing, etc... Is there a way that I can have it setup my own sound scheme, by default right off of the bat?
4) "Take a Tour of Windows XP" popped up on the bottom right hand corner of the taskbar... Those things bug me. I normally have to use TweakUI for XP in order to get rid of it. I thought I saw an option in the Answer Wizard regarding that, and I'm pretty sure I disabled it... but it still came up... Now, is there really something in the answer file regarding that, or is there a way I can just make it not come up period?
5) One thing about Slipstreaming / Unattended is the ease of use for the person installing the disk, right? This includes preventing them from have to run a Windows update right off the bat still downloading those extra "components", security patches, etc... Is there a way to slipstream, or at least install all of the Windows Update Components, from Security Updates, all the way down to DirectX B9 and WMP???
So far those are the only questions I have.
