    What is the best way to auto-set some registry keys during install?


    Thanks Kari. That is quite a bit of work for what I hoped would be a lot simpler. Not sure I can be bothered doing all that. Think I will stick to just manually running a batch file when I first login with the changes I want to me *chuckle

    So I have a few registry keys I would like to set (via reg add) during Windows install. What is the best way to go about doing this? Ideally I would like them set during the first post-install launch (OOBE?).

    I have been looking at unattended install options and it is obviously possible to do what I want but it seems quite complicated and I am unclear if I need to automate the whole install process or not?

    What I want to do is set the PreventDeviceEncryption registry entry to true so that BitLocker doesn't kick in automatically. I have an OPAL SED and would prefer to avoid BitLocker if possible.

    Many thanks!

    :)

  3. What is the best way to get around the Calendar not having a week view? It's not user friendly.

    Man I hope so. Been bemoaning the lack of a week view since around Windows Mobile 5 or so. Not sure why it went away even then. Looking at the calendar apps in the Marketplace there does some to be the ability to reach into calendar data allowing for a
    third party solution from SBSH, or SPB or Web IS, or someone.

  5. Are you doing this for a business? How are you going about installing the operating system?

    If you are using System Center Configuration Manager or MDT, you could just inject a PowerShell script into the deployment package and have the deployment/image run the registry PowerShell injection script.

    If you are doing this for a home reason or local business, I would look at setting up a PowerShell to be ran at first startup. You could go about editing your Windows install to do this or more ideally just run the script when setting up the PC.

    Thanks for the replies.

    This is just for my home computer. I got a new laptop with an OPAL SED but Windows insists on automatically enabling BitLocker as well!
