Hmm not sure aboutthe shutdown command.. .I dont think you want that iin there, I never used that myself as with or without it I seemed to require a restart after install anyway...


As for the winnt.sif the searchpahge I am PRETTY sure that eh google.com.uk/ie is needed


Also I apply my reg tweaks LAST, so that any applications I have that are tweaked by me reg files is included :)

^*^ yay i did it i created my disk tested it, it worked. jus so i know if it did do it right: the setup screen came up and installed everything didnt ask me to fill out anythink at all lovely, once setup finished it rebooted then came to "lets spends a few mintues" which i left on the cd to use it duno why but i like using it lol, once i done that it then started up windows loged me in but i had a blue background then a had CMD "DOS" window came up and it started to install me apps i didnt use any switchs seing that they were all .exe and i like to configure my stuff aswell, but a lil question if i added the "/s" "silent install" would it not popup at all and install it. anyway once i did it all desktop appered and everythink was fine running very fast, did a few more final bits rebooted which only took about 15/20 not even that to boot up into the desktop. so yeah jus making sure that the .cmd install was doing it at the right time.

i wish to thank everyone who help me on PRO-Networks. you are gods :notworthy least i finally know how to make one now if i did it right, again THANKS !!! :P
