Breaking into audit mode
How to break into audit mode during a manual install of Windows Vista.
Audit mode is a mode of Windows Setup that lets you bypass Windows Welcome so you can quickly access the desktop. Audit mode is usually entered by running sysprep /audit command or using an answer file setting during unattended installation. But if you install Windows Vista manually on a computer, you can also break into audit mode when the Windows Welcome screen appears by pressing CTRL+SHFT+F3. This lets you get to the desktop quickly so you can add drivers, install applications, and do other stuff without having to go through all the steps of Windows Welcome.
