Re: wmi or vbscript help

Hi, I'm not a coder by any means, but I'm slightly wet behind the ears. What I'm looking to do is the following:

I am responsible for imaging several desktop and laptop computers in our school district, and one of the mundane tasks I must do after each machine has been imaged is to remove the 2 checkmarks under startup and recovery options in windows xp (time to display list of operating systems and time to display list of recovery options...) It get's to be a hassle to do this every time I image a machine, and was hoping that this could be done via a script. Unfortunately, I've not been able to find any info on how to do this with either wmi or vbscript. I was able to find info on setting the timeout, but I really need to be able to disable both of these options alltogether.

So, any ideas, sample scripts, things to look for, etc???

Thanks,

Doug

Doug,

You mention "image". I assume this to be a ghost image of some sort
that you build your machines from. This is kind of obvious so I am likely
wrong here but why not fix the settings and create a new image from that ?
