Right now I'm trying to build a slipstream image and have most of it done, but I would like to have IE6 SP1 installed from the start and not have to have the setup called in the cmdlines.txt file as this puts a problem of installing hotfixes in the SVCPACK.INF file and SVCPACK folder. I've found an article how it integrate IE5.5 into an Office install but again want to do it in the OS install to eliminate the hotfixes I would need to apply to each computer after the install.
Also looking for a way to have the explorer open automatically with the Folder bar on the left already there. Found two articles that change the Windows Explorer Default View (see Article KB221878 and in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit - Chapter 9 - Managing Files, Folders, and Search Methods (section My Computer).

Working with Files and Folders
This section describes changes to how files are accessed, methods for customizing the Windows Explorer user interface, and policies you can set to control how the interface works.
My Computer
My Computer provides access to local drives, mapped network drives, and Control Panel. System folders, such as Network and Dial-up Connections, Scheduled Tasks, and Printers, are now available through Control Panel.
By using the Address bar, you can quickly access other desktop shortcuts, such as My Network Places, the Recycle Bin, and Internet Explorer.
By default, when you open My Computer, you do not see the Folders Explorer Bar, which displays folders in a hierarchical relationship in a pane on the left side of the user interface.
To display the folders, you can choose Explorer Bar from the View menu and then select Folders. Enabling the Folders option is only in effect until you close My Computer. The next time you open My Computer the folders do not display until you choose the option again.
You can configure Windows 2000 Professional to show the Explorer Bar every time you open My Computer. To do this, use the following procedure:
To permanently display the Explorer Bar in My Computer
1.. In My Computer, click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
2.. Click the File Types tab, and then under Registered file types, click Folder (the extension is N/A).
3.. Click Advanced.
4.. Under Actions, click Explore, and then click Set Default.
Can anyone help me out with putting these in place as the default? I've tried doing the changes and then doing a sysdiff comparison of a before and an after image but the registry changes are not easily found in the files.
