A couple of questions.

Howdy folks, I have done a few searches and found
references to some nice stuff dealing with setting the
hidden status on various items from the start menu, and
am in the middle of setting up a couple of mostly idiot
proof accounts, but I have a question.
I have read that I need to set the items visible to the
account that I want to still be able to have access to
them.
I set up the HKEY_USER\.DEFAULT to hide the items, but
there is no listing for the other user accounts I have
created, and when I try to add registry settings under
the user account, it laughs at me.

On a realted note, when I log off on my test device, I
see the user accounts, but not the administrator account
to log in with, how do I get it to show up? I am using
the friendly logon component, but could not see a setting
that seemed to be related...

My final question is with adding an extra file.
I keep getting an error that it could not find the file
at the end of the build process. And the file is not
included in the image. I have tried moving the source
file into my dev directory, and tried deleting the item
and recreating it, to no avail. Is there a special trick
for this?

Thanks in Advance,
Ben
 
Hi Ben,

I assume you have adedd "Administrator Account" to your image. By default,
the Administrator account is not displayed on the Welcome Screen. Add this
registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList],"Administrator"=1
(dword value).

For adding "Extra File" you may use SrcPath/SrcName extended properties to
specify the actual paths to your source files (in "Add an Extra File to the
Configuration" dialog click on "Advanced" button).

Hope this helps.

KM,

Many thanks.
I managed to get the file to build in using what Laurent
suggested. I had actually tried the approach you
mentioned, but I might have put both parts into one field.

And especially thanks for the registry key for the admin!

Now all I need to do is figure out how to add the run,
find, etc (stuff I hid in the .default user) back to a
single specific user.

Ben,

For a specific user you may open user's ntuser.dat offline and change the
appropriate registry settings you set in .DEFAULT hive.
Or you may do a batch file for a specific user (either <reg /LOAD keyname
ntuser.dat> or Autologon/<regedit.exe /s .reg>) to change necessary
settings.
