image issues

[Troy]

When I create W2K images and I also have programs like Office 2000 pro
installed,
I have a problem that when i send out the images and a new user logs on to
the machine, the first time they try to use Office it asks for the install
location or CD how can I avoid this?

Another problem is that stupid Internet Connection Wizard, is there any way
to set defaults system wide so every user isn't asked to set this up, since
usually this simple tasks confuses most uses on first use.

Thanks for your help
T.

Troy, the only machines w/ OFF2K that I've cloned have been laptops, but
I typically copy the CD image to the HD and install from there on a
laptop or standalone machine for that same annoying assed reason:
prompting for the CD. If I install from the HD, the CD image is always
available and it never prompts the user for the CD ever again. On the
network, I install from a network location that is read only to
everyone.

As far as the assinine ICW is concerned, I use IEAK to create IE
packages that turn that off for everyone.
