can I do this from answer file or do I need to script post install? "James" <noone[ at ]nowhere.com> 11/17/2008 4:41:21 PM .... there will probably be a few different posts with this same title over the next few days as I'm working through some customizations on a deployment project... any item that can be taken care of via the standard unattend files I do there, otherwise I script the setting/config item. This is for windows server 2003. I didn't see the following config item listed in the deploy.cab ref.chm file: right-click desktop -> properties -> desktop tab -> customize desktop button here you can check of to display the My Documents folder, My Computer, Internet Explorer, and My Network Places on the desktop. I need to configure these. Did I miss the option in unattended.txt reference? or do I script this one? If I script it, which I assume I will be, I also assume it will be a direct registry edit, anyone know the keys I need to get to? any input is appreciated, thanks.
