But I noticed that when I came back to the System32 directory, after going to where I had minlogin stored to copy it, winlogon.exe, which had been deleted, was back. I found a place online that showed me how to disable Windows File Protection, I tested it out and it worked. Then I continued with the minlogon instructions. I checked to make sure and it was 17KBs. I imported the registry key after deleting everything. Once I finished all that I rebooted and the classic login screen popped up. I tried logging in with my user name (no password) and it the screen would go away and just have a blue background, it would wait a few seconds, then the login screen would pop back up. After that I tried using my Administrator account and password, this produced a bit different results. The login screen disappeared, I got the blue background again, but this time the Windows login sound played (which I previously had disabled), but about 2 seconds after it finished, the shutdown song played and the login screen popped backup. Anybody have any ideas?

Exactly what i got. I think that guy left an instruction out, beause i swear i followed what he said.

Wouldn't you also need all the registry entries? Is there a way to customize the registry with nLite preinstall?

Well it works for me. I did nothing else but what SFiorito instructed us to do.

Same here. I followed the instructions and it worked well. I had windows file protection disable right from the install though. It's an option in nLite.

Are you all running SP2? There's gotta be some difference in me and Motoko's setup from you all's b/c I was super careful at following the instructions. It sucked to fix it too.

I got that restart problem. It's because the winlogon file didnt copy properly (WFP or whatever)
I booted in recovery console and copied the file over winlogon again.
Then it works fine.

I used SP1. I forgot to mention it in my earlier post, but i also added the reg values.. To add this into an nlite'd version, you have to follow these steps:
By the way, this is done BEFORE building the image with nlite..

1. Create a new folder called " $OEM$ " in the root folder of your nlite project (same folder as i386)
2. Create a new file inside "$OEM$", and name it cmdlines.txt .
3. Copy the filed called" winlogon.reg " into the $OEM$ folder.

Content of cmdlines.txt :

[COMMANDS]
"REGEDIT /S winlogon.reg"


That's it!

Also, if you want some files copyed to the root of C:\, follow these steps:

1. Create a sub-folder in "$OEM$", called " $1 " .. All files/folders in here will be copied to C:\ during installation.. This will come in handy for EWF!


To copy files into windows/system32/etc. folder:

1. Create a sub-folder in "$OEM$", called " $$ " .. All files/folders in here will be copied to C:\windows.. To copy files into system32 folder, simply create another folder in "$$", called system32..


Sorry for the long and messy post!

Good job FetLyd, that's a great tip! As far as those of you having problems with WFP and copying minlogon: I don't know what to tell you. Every machine I've tried (including a default SP2 install) I got a warning dialog from WFP which I was able to cancel. It looks like most other people got the same thing as well. The problem is that the file and registry entries go hand-in-hand, so if one is screwed up the whole logon process gets screwed up!

Regardig bootvis: doesn't that just layout boot files on the hard drive to minimize seek time? I've run it a few times, but saw no difference at all on the CF card. I wouldn't expect to since the CF card has such small seek times. You guys all disabled the auto chkdsk, too right? That was eating up at least a second on my system.

I didn't get a WFP pop-up or anything. Presumably my nLite install killed WFP. I just tried to do the minLogon again on a stock SP2 install (i.e. no nLite) and did run into the WFP problem. It never warned me -- just silently replaced the new file with the standard winlogon.

Hmmm... I wonder if it matters that (on the stock SP2 systems) I've always done it logged in as Administrator??

*EDIT*: I double-checked, and I have WFP enabled, so I don't know what it could be.

hmm. I just ran into the problem with my last attempt. nLite. Checked the disable protection checkbox that worked for me before.
This time it didn't work. I wonder if its something else. I wonder if there's a component that nLite removes that results in the file protection not working.
