I have registry tweaks such as below, how can I get them to trigger? Unlike regular windows, I can run the tweaks, restart, and done. Would the only way be to actually load the registry hive (how?) in the mounted wim and make modifications there?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"MenuShowDelay"="10"

Add this code into a suited script of your build:

RegHiveLoad,WB-Default,%RegUser%

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",MenuShowDelay,200

RegHiveUnLoad,WB-Default

Then it is already in the PE when it boots up.

Does Winbuilder use a different unit of measure (Latin Time )?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop]
"MenuShowDelay"="10"

RegHiveLoad,WB-Default,%RegUser%
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",MenuShowDelay,200
RegHiveUnLoad,WB-Default

If not apparent from the above - YES! You make the change in the registry that will end up inside the WIM being booted. (could also be done manually, but this is cleaner!)

In terms of command /syntax, what's actually the difference between these two? Commands used appear very different. %RegUser% writes a couple of files in the root dir of my winbuilder folder.

(copied the code from another thread)

Hive_Load,HKCU

Reg_add,0x1,%reg%SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce,Startup,"bbxiw7pe$_netcmdstartup.cmd"

Hive_UnLoad,HKCU

RegHiveLoad,WB-Default,%RegUser%

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",MenuShowDelay,10

RegHiveUnLoad,WB-Default

Actually I just did some digging, so it looks like 'custom' specified variables in common_api.script.

@biatche
You can use the 'RegCPE' a tool available within Win7PE SE > Utils. This can convert .reg files (your tweaks) into .script format that should normally goes under [Process] section in any winbuilder script.

You can also use the established and project-independent tool Reg2WBS, which you can find in the Download portal of this forum.
And in this tool you can decide whether you use something like %RegUser% or the actual file system path.

Is this acceptable?

Reg_add,0x3,"%reg%Control PanelDesktop",UserPreferencesMask,"be,3e,07,80,12,00,00,00"

or should it be

Reg_add,0x3,"%reg%Control PanelDesktop",UserPreferencesMask,"be#$c3e#$c07#$c80#$c12#$c00#$c00#$c00"

from:

"UserPreferencesMask"=hex:be,3e,07,80,12,00,00,00

Have a look at the help http://code.google.c...r/wiki/regwrite

• 0x3 - Binary data - adds data in binary format. Each byte is specified by groups of two digits splitting each value with commas

"Correct" is as Reg2WBS delivers:

RegWrite,HKLM,0x3,"WB-DefaultControl PanelDesktop",UserPreferencesMask,be,3e,07,80,12,00,00,00

Currently the other alternities are understood correctly, too.

Yeah you folks replied really fast (while i was typing out my post haha), and they appear to be what I need -- regCPE (which I'm currently testing) and Reg2WBS (haven't tried).

Thanks great people.
