@Jason
Did you ever get the Quick Luanch figured out? I know with Win7 there is no quick launch, but there are ways to add it. NOt sure if that is the problem or not.
I have set in my unattend.xml DoNotClean TaskBar=True and still no luck.

Why cant you just copy the profile to the default profile, i feel like this was much easier to do in XP.

None of my Start Menu icons are the same (i want it blank) and none of the Task Bar icons stay pinned or unpinned, its just like default windows stuff.

Any way to do this without scripting, it seems all the things i need done that WSIM is supposed to do i have to script (domain join, extra drivers, now this!!!)

Does anyone know if you can get the imagex /apply to reboot automatically after it applies the WIM image??
It would be great to apply the image and walk away for 10 minutes and let the whole unattend process take care of itself. Right now I apply the image, wait for it to complete (about 5 mins) and then reboot for it to complete the rest.

Thanks.

U’re really the best. A rare blog with such detailed and easy step-by-step tutorials.

Okay. The question is: can I do minor changes in the SYSPEPPED windows 7 installation?
I have a sysprepped windows 7 on VMWare. For certain compatibility reasons i did not use VMWare snapshots.

@Jason,

I haven’t tried this myself quite yet but in the Shell_Setup answer file component there’s a switch called “DoNotCleanTaskbar”. It’s appears in the generalize, specialize, auditSystem and oobe passes. According to the unattend reference help doc, “DoNotCleanTaskBar specifies whether Sysprep removes deskbands. A deskband is a customized toolbar that can be added to the taskbar. Deskbands contain shortcuts to frequently performed tasks.” I think this would apply to added custom toolbars.

Hey thanks for the tip about the Quick Launch but for some reason it doesn’t stay after I sysprep. The toolbar is gone and the taskbar with windows media and all that crap comes back. Any ideas?
