still problem for custom shell

[Guest]

Thanks to Dean PM and KM for yesterday's answer about the custom shell

GUI boot screen splash is gone. with /NOGUIBOOT, but the wallpaper and the
welcome notice /or logon on window still there.

i did it as following:

In the target designer, find WinLogon component, click settings, find the
show friend logon. if I check this "show friendly logon" then the result xpe
image has a welcome notice when it boot, which is what I want get rid of. but
if I uncheck it (leave it empty), there is no welcome notice, but instead,
there is a "logon on to windows, input user name and passward" dialog. with
sure is not what I want. I want nothing there. What I should do? (i want
neither welcome notice nor logon on dialog)

also, I am a newbie,sorry, i don't know how to change the wallpaper,
actually I don't want any wallpaper at all, I want it just empty there. the
reference KM gave me:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/msg/df6d8f69e0a58cb2?hl=en&
is change wallpaper into my own image. but I don't know how to add a registry
value ( the reference said "Try adding [HKCU\Control
Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper],"yourWallpaperFile.bmp"
registry value to the user you will see after logon "). should I add
registry in component designer when I design the my own shell component ? I
added it there, no result, the wallpaper still there. how can I just get rid
of the wallpaper , just leave it empty?

I am sorry, maybe add a registry is a simple thing to do for you,but because
I am a newbie ,I don't know how to get it done. please give a little more
details. thank your very much!

also, even I create my own shell with my application program, the program is
not running in the booting.


in one word, (1) how to get rid of the welcome notice /or logon on to
windows dialog.? (2) how to get rid of the wallpaper,just leave it empty?
(3) my own program, which is the core program when I create a shell, also not
running in the built image.

I just want the system start with my own program. but i can not solve the
above problems.

please help me, thank you very much!

sincerely, winston.

winston,

The logon issue.
You're either looking for "Automatic Logon" or "Minlogon" (instead of Winlogon) component. The latterchoice would depend on whether
your custom shell app can work with Minlogon. Please read about both feature in the product documentation.
Also, please search NG archive and/or XPe documentation for DisableStatusMessages. That registry entry should help you getting rid
of some other welcome/shutdown screens.


Wallpaper. Just use Extra Registry node of your Configuration in TD. ( to enable this you will have to check the Resources view in
TD View menu)
Or you can certainly add the registry entry in your custom shell component in CD.

Hope you provided "yourWallpaperFile.bmp", or whatever file name you set there, with your image.
Not sure if you can get rid of the wallpaper completely (set it to empty string there and see if it helps, though). But you can
always come up with and use a black or white or blue bitmap.

hi.
I need your help about xpe problem. i have an application with a dialog
(show some GDI graphics) pop up when it start, so i want the computer system
start with this application show without anything about windows or welcome
notice. last time, i consult here, and have been told to use the custom
shell.

i did, but find still has the window wall paper and windows xp embeded
welcome notice. i don't know what i should further do.

i describe the procedure i did:

1. i used TAP to get device.pmq, then import into component designer, get a
device.sld. then import into component database manager.

2. i Created a Custom Shell Component (myownshell.sld) as directed exactly
as the manual in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms940838.aspx , again import into
component database manager.

3. In Target designer, add the following components:
a. device.sld as above
b. myownshell.sld as above
c. design templates\windows_based terminal professional component
d. software\system\storage & file system\infrastructure\filesystem\FAT
e. software\storage &file system\application\FAT Format
f. software\system\system services\Base\Nt Loader

then build, there is no error.

but when i reboot the xpe image, it still has the windows xp embeded
wallpaper and the welcome notice in the boot process. and that's what wnat to
get rid of.

the application with i used as shell (as experiment, i used cmd.exe, it
failed either)

my application is a win32 dialog program, which run on the windows xp
professional just fine, but i don't want the windows starting splash and the
wallpaper and welcome notice, i want the system started with my own program.
also when it shutdown there is not shutdown notice as in the xp professional.

where i did wrong? please help me.

thank you very much!

sincerely, Winston.
