How do you run this without first having a user profile? #206

The instructions mention it's best to run debloat before users are setup... but that seems like a chicken and an egg problem. Would appreciate some detail here. I'm building a new install from scratch.

I also have been scratching my head about this. I'm about to try the script on a different profile on my PC to see if I notice any issues while working on my main profile... Hopefully it doesn't blow anything up.

After a fresh install when reaching the options screen press "CTRL+SHIFT+F3". It will boot into audit mode and starts sysprep which allows you to modify your install without creating a user profile. When you're done customizing click the generalize option in the dialog window and reboot.

Quick tip: You can also use this to create an install image with the software you want preinstalled for future usage.

StoneyEagle said it best. I also work as a systems administrator so what I say may not make sense for the average consumer.
