2. Windows automatically installs the drivers --Driver Path Parameter Description first job after

system installed is to update a lot of drivers, Since the author uses the CMI8738 sound card and the GeForce2 MX400 graphics card, in this section, I will install these two drivers as an example to show how to use the Driver Path parameter of Winntsif software to automatically complete the driver installation.

Step 1: Download the latest version of the CMI8738 and GeForce2 MX400 drivers from the Internet.

Step 2: Extract the driver files of CMI8738 to C:\\XPCD\\$OEM$\\$1\\Drivers\\voice\\; extract the drivers of GeForce2 MX400 to C:\\XPCD\\$OEM $\\$1\\Drivers\\video\\ (usually a self-extracting file of the compressed package, which can be decompressed with WinRAR).

Step 3: Confirm that the CMI8738 driver installer setup_INF.inf is under "C:\\XPCD\\$OEM$\\$1\\Drivers\\voice\\"; confirm that the GeForce2 MX400 driver file 2KXP_INF.inf is Under "C:\\XPCD\\$OEM$\\$1\\Drivers\\video\\".

Step 4: Open the Winntsif software, and then add the driver path and name "Drivers\\voice\\;Drivers\\video\\" in the "Driver Path" parameter under the [Unattended] field (see figure 3).

After the above work is completed, the installer will automatically find the driver at the specified location. For other devices, you can also install the driver automatically as described above.

Tips

If the program to be installed is an EXE file, you can complete the installation with the GUIRunOnce parameter described below.

4. automatically adjust registry parameters --Regristry Tweaks Detailed

In addition to the various functions of the above, Winntsif under "Regristry Tweaks" option also provides a registry optimization options, if you want to Let the installer automatically set the system's registry to make it more personalized and safer. This software can also help you complete the process, and the operation process is very simple.

Step 1: Expand the "Regristry Tweaks" item and select some items according to your needs. For example, if you want to use automatic login, you can select "Startup and Shutdown→Auto-login"; for example, if you want to modify the connection speed of IE, you can select "Internet Explorer→Optimize Internet Connection"; if you want to turn off the automatic operation function , then, just check "System→Disable Autorun".

Step 2: After selecting the required options, click on the “Finish!” item and click on the “Construct my tweaks!” button (see Figure 4) to generate the registry file to C:\\XPCD In the \\$OEM$\\$1\\install\\ directory, it is named RegTweaks.reg.

Step 3: Create a new batch file called hotfixes.cmd and paste the following commands into your batch file.

REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\\install\\RegTweaks.reg

Tips

★ If you think the software involves too few registry options, then you can http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
, get more registry entries, then open RegTweaks.reg with "Notepad" and add it.

★hotfixes.cmd is the default batch file for the software itself. If you use other file names, you need to add it under "GUIRunOnce".

Burning a disc

When all the above work is completed, you can make a disc. After searching, I found a very simple production method, which will be used in the process of making a disc. WinISO and NERO two software.

Step 1: Make sure that Winnt.sif has been copied to the C:\\XPCD\\i386\\ directory, confirm that the batch file has been copied to C:\\XPCD\\$OEM$\\$1 \\install\\, confirm all The driver and software have been copied to the appropriate location, and the path to the batch file has been added under the "GuiRunOnce" entry in Winntsif.

Step 2: Download the blank bootable Windows XP ISO file from http://www.neowin.Net/downloads/xpboot.bin
and open it in WinISO. Then drag the contents of the C:\\XPCD\\ directory to the WinISO window and save the ISO file.

The third step: use the NERO software to burn the ISO file.

Now that the CD has been created, you will be able to use it when you need to reinstall the system.
