How do I change ALL system folder names during an unattended install
like I would the following folders... ?

TargetPath=
ProgramFilesDir=
CommonProgramFilesDir=

I would like to change others such as BUT not limited to:

Temporary Directory
Favorites
Shared Documents
system32
Downloaded Program Files
Offline Web Pages

You cannot change the name of Windows XP system files
or folders. The names are hard-coded in the software.

Ok thx

How can I prevent the installation of OE, IE & Accessibility do I do
the following:

[Components]
AccessOpt=Off
IEAccess=Off
OEAccess=Off
WMPOCM=Off

Those are system components and cannot be removed
from the Windows XP operating system.

Once you install Windows XP, you should implement
Group Policy restrictions:

Cary,

you have been a great help and before I test this i have two last
questions to present... actually its more of a request can you or any
other member of this group tell me if I have any visible ERRORS in the
following unattand.bat file & also inform me of how to specify a
specific drive to install to other then c:\

I am trying to maintain the current drive structure so this is vital to
me no to accure any data loss.

# Sorry forgot the bat file.

@rem SetupMgrTag
@echo off

rem
rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by Setup Manager.
rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated,
it may have to be modified.
rem

set AnswerFile="V:\unattend.txt"
set SetupFiles="E:\"
set Tempdrive="P:\"
set Source="P:\DCES_SCR"

"P:\I386\WINNT32.EXE" /s:%SetupFiles% /tempdrive:%Tempdrive%
/makelocalsource:%Source% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /copysource:lang
/cmdcons

yes, and your welcome..
