need a lot of help in building!!!

[Andrea]

Hi I'm new to xpe, I tryed a lot to build an image as I want but I have
serious problem with something!
1) Automatic logon: I need it for not enter everytime name and pw in the
booting image but i'm confused how to do it. I add the automatic logon and
administrator account components, than expand the adm component and write
down the username and pw, then I build but the image don't autologin... why?
Where I make mistake?
2) Problem with components... I build and image but I want to remove some
components like outlook express, so I remove , do the dep. check, see that it
is reput on it by "help and support component"... why this? how to remove it?
3) Templates: are they a complete system images or I have to manual put
other components to make them work? For example I need to have a "complete"
xpe system but with no need of net, internet, games, only the oS and full
support to audio application... in your opinion whats the best template to
start from? What components do I need to put together with it?

I really appreciate some help, cause I'm so sorry about my wrong images!!!

Best regards

Anakin

1. Did you modify the automatic logon settings with the administrator and
password?
2. Components dependent on other components is something you have to trace,
and can take some time to figure out what needs to be removed.
Start small and grow the image big. Only include the necessary components to
boot the OS and run the application.
3. Only a few of the templates build based on a Standard PC onfiguration.
You should still run Target Analyzer (TAP.EXE) on the target hardware to
build up a configuration.

done... working good!

Start small and grow the image big. Only include the necessary components to
boot the OS and run the application.

Ok I done, I really don't want an enviroment where I only have to make my
application working but I need a system with certain characteristic...
but finally I was able to build a working configuration... now I would like
to custom it, modify it to fit my needs and make something that don't work,
working...
I Have to ask something:

1) I have problem with the cd-rom drive: when I put a disk on it, the disk
speed up but when I try to open or to explore the content, windows return
this message: "windows can not read from this disk. The disk might be
corupted or it could be using a format that is not compatible with
windows"... ideas? components to add?
2)control Panel: I can't find the section "system" that is very important
for me... which components I might add for having it?
3)Task manager: pressing ctrl+alt+canc I can view the "windows security" but
if I choose the task manager, it doesn't appear and windows return me to
desktop. how to fix it ( I need task manager!)
4)general problem with desktop: when I do things like right click on desktop
and choose properties, or "new folder" nothing happens, and everytime I have
the desktop with nothing on it only the taskbar ...also if I do drag and drop
from another folder to desktop, nothing happens... ideas?

Thank you for helping me!

1. Make sure that you have CDFS in the image
2. Add the System Control Panel component
3. Not sure, adding Task Manager should have made this work
4. In the User Interfacecore component, do you have context options checked?
