can I do this from answer file or do I need to script post install?

.... there will probably be a few different posts with this same title over
the next few days as I'm working through some customizations on a deployment
project... any item that can be taken care of via the standard unattend
files I do there, otherwise I script the setting/config item. This is for
windows server 2003.

I didn't see the following config item listed in the deploy.cab ref.chm
file:

right-click desktop -> properties -> desktop tab -> customize desktop button

here you can check of to display the My Documents folder, My Computer,
Internet Explorer, and My Network Places on the desktop.

I need to configure these. Did I miss the option in unattended.txt
reference? or do I script this one? If I script it, which I assume I will
be, I also assume it will be a direct registry edit, anyone know the keys I
need to get to?

any input is appreciated, thanks.

in case anyone else needs:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel


{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D} = My Network Places

{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} = My Computer

{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} = My Documents

{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} = Internet Explorer

all REG_DWORD
