Does anyone have the regfile settings to do the following:

(1) Use Windows Classic Folders

(2) Show hidden files and folders

(3) Do NOT hide extensions for known file types

(4) Do NOT hide protected operating system files

Thank you.
 
do a google search for sysdiff. this microsoft tool will let you take a
snapshot of the system before you make the change. then you make the
changes, then run it again. it will take another snapshot. then use it to
run a compare and it will write the registry differences out to an INF file.
there's another tool as well that i think actually works better but i cant
recall what it is, so maybe you'll run across that in your search.
 
Why do you need a reg hack to do these things when the things you want to do
can be done by changing settings in windows.

Zane,

Look through the forums at http://unattended.msfn.org/
Also look through the Registry Guide at http://www.winguides.com/
And look through some of Kelly's tweaks at http://www.kellys-korner.com/

All of that could be found there. I have a registry file that likely does
that but I was looking through it and decided it needs a good cleanup.
Also, some of that can be done during the unattended installation process in
the winnt.sif or unattend.txt files.

Nik,

If you install more than one system a week (a month even), automation of the
processes makes everything easier. With projects like
unattended.sourceforge.net and unattended.msfn.org, there really is no
reason not to.
