Hi,

does anyone know how I can remove the briefcase, internet explorer, etc icons during an unattended setup?

Thanks in advance,

create a file named noicons.inf:
——————————–>

[Version]
Signature=”$Windows NT$”

[DefaultInstall]
DelReg = RUN.Del.Reg

[DefaultUnInstall]

[RUN.Del.Reg]
HKLM,%MAIL%
HKLM,%INTERNETEXPLORER%

[Strings]
MAIL=”SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{00020D76-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}”
INTERNETEXPLORER=”SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}”

—————————–
in your setup.bat add this line
