Deploying WinXP

[Bob]

I'm wanting to deploy WinXP in our environment much the
same way I did with W2K. One of the things I did was
create some changes in the registry using REGEDT32 in the
USERS section to create some defaults, so that when I
sysprep'ed the PC, once the person booted up the
background I wanted was there, the start page for IE was
complete, etc... I see that REGEDIT does the same things
now, but I can't seem to find anything dealing with
themes. I'd like to change the defaults so that more
icons show up on the desktop, much like you can do with
DESKTOP-CUSTOMISE DESKTOP, so that My Documents appears
there, IE icon, etc... Also I'd like to change the
default appearance from the blue task bar to the silver.
I can't seem to find those keys in the registry. Can
someone point me in the right direction?

You can find an example script here:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs....all/bin/winxpsp1-notips.pl?rev=HEAD&view=auto

It is written in Perl, but the registry keys are easy to read even if
you don't know Perl.

Search for "My Documents" for the keys dealing with desktop icons.
