Re: Help!!! Sysprep creating Icons on Desktop...

Try it.

Install Windows XP, logon as Administartor, remove MSN Explorer and Windows
Media Player icons, sysprep it, log back on as Administrator and wahla, the
icons are back on your desktop.

I am using Windows XPSP2 with Sysprep 2.0.

Best Regards,
Rick Blake

Fact:

Once you sysprep Windows XP and logon as the Administrator, sysprep
will create two shortcuts on your desktop. They are:

MSN Explorer
Windows Media Player

Bottom Line:

I want the cleanest way to get rid of these two shortcuts via the
sysprep.inf.

Request:

I ONLY want these two shortcuts (on my desktop) removed. I DO NOT
want any references to these two programs removed from any other
areas of the operating system (ex: Start Menu/Programs, etc.) I
just want the desktop icons/shortcuts removed.

I want to GET RID OF THESE during the sysprep process. How do you
do it?
What commands can I run in the sysprep.inf that "WILL WORK"? What
command in the [GUIRUNONCE] section will accomplish this?

Once the Administrator account logs on, I want these two desktop
shortcuts
to DISAPPEAR!!! Please re-read this post , if you are not clear on
what my objective is. I want real answers to this issue, so please
re-read if your unclear on what i'm asking for. Thanks in advance
for your help...

I cannot say I even agree with your "Fact" yet..
As I do not see this issue in my installs.

I will look into it though.
