How to install Picasa silently preconfigured or postconfigured

I want to install Picasa silently preconfigured or postconfigured.

I need to remove the first run setup wizard and never apear, but set it up to search only my documents, desktop, etc. and not all computer when i open it.

Also set Picasa to not open photo/video files when i open them directly from windows explorer.

I havent find a way, it looks that it doesnt save this settings on registry or a file for the first run wizard probably a switch or a config file when installing.

picasasetup.exe /S /L

Once setup you can customize the registry key for Picasa, export it, and add

regedit /s \\path\to\regfile.reg

to your batch file.
"Also set Picasa to not open photo/video files when i open them directly from windows explorer"

Open one and save it to your desktop.
Then right click on it and choose open with
Choose the default program you want to open that type of file
Tick the Always use this program to open these file types
Apply

This will reset the default app the opens your Image, video files

I want to install Picasa silently preconfigured or postconfigured.
I mean i dont want to configure this two options manually when i finish the install and when i open it.

I know that this settings are not configurated or saved on a registry or a configuration file, i belive this settings are saved directly in:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\NTUSER.DAT

I just need someone probe me wrong and tell me how can i do this, i have done a lot of test in the past and it looks that is the only program i know that does this, i am looking for someone that really can know how to do it and give me a direct solution because he knows that it really works.

I try to contact on picasa forum but didnt get a response, is there anyone that has the experiencie to solve this?

We showed you all the options to make this happen. If neither of them is working for you, then it looks like this applies:
