I did basically what disgraceful was saying but I also had my cd import a reg key taken from my old registry into the new one, then ran lsthemeinstaller to install my own theme and then used setshell to make sure all the needed keys were set... worked fine everytime I used it on my vwmare machine... oh and with the theme I had it use a non netloadmodule version so I didn't need to worry about the SP2 firewall interfering...
