Nuhi, nLite is great, but the descriptions of components are lame. I am not sure for many components whether to keep or remove them, because the description mostly doesn't tell me what the heck a component is. I have a stand-alone home machine so I don't need networking components, but it is hard to tell from a description what can be removed and what not. The descriptions really, and I mean really, need an improvement. Please make the descriptions more understandable for ordinary computer users. Thanks!

This is very strange to me, because the folder 'Internet Explorer' exists in the 'C:\Program Files' directory; there are two subfolders, but none has the IE files, just some connection wizards in one folder and some MUI DLL file in a subfolder of the other folder. No trace of IE being installed, but it is alive in Windows and running, apparently. When you are in, say, 'My Documents' folder and you press the Home button of your multimedia keyboard, IE opens up; so I assume that there seems to be an integration of IE in the Windows Explorer or something. There seems to exist a code of IE in the Windows Explorer, and it would be excellent to remove that code. Caution: I think messing with Windows Explorer would damage it and we wouldn't be able to use it anymore. Well, a tough nut to crack that is. Microsoft is not fair, because they integrate things. Okay, this is good for a regular Windows user who doesn't have a web browser preference and other preferences. But we have preferences about those things so it would be best if Microsoft created a Windows installation where no integrations exist, just the basic things like TCP/IP protocol and things like that, not forcing a web browser and an e-mail client and so on. There's also not possible to remove the folders 'Internet Explorer' and 'outlook express' in the 'C:\Program Files' directory. This is a bugger from my standpoint. I just hate IE and Outlook Express. I once moved to Linux because of IE and those integrated things. Well, I came back soon. Linux is great, but I'm used to Windows all my life, so... Okay, my message now. Please make IE fully removable while keeping it's core. Think well and good things will happen.

The IE is not fully removed with nLite. I made a customized Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 installation in which IE is removed and it's core kept. When I am in a folder and I click the Home button on my multimedia keyboard (running that customized Windows of course), IE opens. Okay, yes, nLite is great, but... ummm, not perfect I guess. Nuhi, you've made a great job creating nLite, but IE is a bugger and a very nasty one to fully remove, too. It is difficult to fully remove IE while keeping the core I guess. There seems to be no way to fully remove that buggy IE from Windows installation. IE is so embedded into Windows that no power on Earth can't eradicate it. Nuhi, is there any solution to that? Will you be able to make IE fully removed while keeping the core?
