    Hello, i am ghosting a few computers with xp sp2. I want to install the software i want on each computer, and once i'm done i want the intial sp2 screen (more specifically where i choose computer name, time zone, admin password, and so on).

    Is there just a registry entry i can delete to trick windows into thinking it needs to run that again even though it already has. That way when i reboot, i can create my ghost image, and when i start ghosting it will ask me those intial questions while still having everything configured the way i want.

    If there is some info on stuff like this can you point me toward it to please???

    Thanks in advance

    Found it... microsoft has a sysprep utility that dell uses to "reseal" their products which in turn brings the initial activation screen back up.
