We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Hi,

Great program Glenn, would it be possible to run this with unattended.xml so it sets up once windows has finished installing?

Hi,

I have windows installing with autounattend.xml from <a href=" removed link ">Generate autounattend.xml files for Windows 10/11 so it removes bloatware and sets up windows with some windows programs removed and sets up task bar and was looking to add your desktopinfo to install with a script or through $OEM$ folder.

@halfords45 I didn't know you could do that  😆 But it looks like something I should be doing. What kind of thing do you need DTI to do?

at the moment i run the xml and remove a fair bit of microsoft rubbish then switch on the old context menu move the start back to the left, puts icons on the desktop i need but i would love to get your program installed and running to setup up my pc info for each pc i have on the network when i do a reinstall on a bank of pc's. will desktop info run silent with a script? only just started working on this to simplify my setup as i some times have to setup 5 to 10 pcs's at once.

@halfords45 What do you expect it to do exactly?

Update: now have desktopinfo installed and running on first load of window's using unattend.xml. 😀 Windows now loads uncluttered and no interaction from start to finish.
