The problem you are facing is that a shortcut has to specify a file; so below is a solution. You can create a batch file with the restart/ shutdown commands in them. Then create a shortcut file (by the procedure that you've mentioned) but the location of that shortcut will be the batch file. Now on the shortcut you can change the icon to watever you choose (this can't be done on a batch file). You do this by right clicking on the shortcut --> properties --> shortcut (tab) --> change icon (button) --> select icon. If you dont know how to create a batch file: you create a text file (rename it shutdown or restart), type in the code for restart/ shutdown (e.g. shutdown -r -t 0); then save; afterwards you have to change the extension of the file from .txt to .cmd or .bat.

just a suggestion you could replace rdc with remote administrator 3. (http://www.famatech.com/) that'll give u an extra thing to remove;) btw the "standard pic/fax preview thingy" is called 'Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" - just dont remove it in nLite.

Use this cabpack program to make cab files: http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?...ghlight=cabpack Its a bit tricky to use. Post if u need any help with how to use it.

I do not believe I have tried your framework files. Ill give them a go next time a use nLite. That fixes my wagon.

I would like a copy of the portable nLite; if it means not having to install .net framework. The only reason why I install .Net is so nLite can run. Installing .net adds an extra service that i dont want also, so thats another reason why ill like to not have to install .net.

um you should consider what uses directX. Games is not the only program that uses directx. Directx is a bunch of API's/ runtimes if you didn't know what. Playing videos uses directx and some internet aps. It wouldn't hurt updating directx just once from the original; go here to find a link to ryanvm's directx addon (only 3mb) http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows_XP_CD_Up...ay_t104275.html wiki's article on directx is too long to decipher what prog's use directx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

running nLite on an unattended source will remove all its unattended settings (to my knowledge). There may be a way around this? (doing it manually;))

driverpacks go LAST! (after nLite, hfslip, ryanVM, XP Vista Transformation etc)

office shrink source is just to make office smaller. So yes, to your answer

go here: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/v...90e438cef3458c/ (choose advanced setup;)) It has everything including installing MS Office 2003 during RunOnceEx/GuiRunOnce unattendedly

This is with WMP10. If you want with WMP11 find WMP11 addon for nLite, especially if is there some with updates. If not, add WMP11 to Windows XP CD, install it, download remaining updates for WMP11 and integrate them into Windows XP CD... or use Boooggy's Windows Media Player 11 Slipstreamer @: http://web.clicknet.ro/boooggy/ I reckon its easier to slipstream wmp 11, go to the hotfix list found on the website, download the hotfixes and slipstream then using nLite. (im only saying this because i had difficulties using the prog last time)

If you havent done so, could you please post it here. Some ppl may find this useful....I checked and it doesnt appear that any of those 3 dependancies are on the list. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=66361

1. Make a text file. (by right clicking in a blank area, selecting 'New', than click on 'text document'. 2. right click on the text file, click properties. When the new window appears. type in 'c' for change -- next to the 'Open's with' bar 3. Select 'notepad2' if its under the 'recommend programs' tab. If its not there, click the browse command button and find the .exe file for notepad2. 3a) Click the button for 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file'. 3b) Click ok. Now your done. You can do this for all types of files. There are some addons that can replace the normal notepad with notepad2. kel's uber pack is an example of this. But use this one if you want to replace notepad with notepad2 directly (next time u reformat). I havent used so i dont know how it works. http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?...otepad+replacer (Notepad2 2.0.18.3 (Modified) Folding/Replacement (code65536's release)

No problem. The thing is I was trying hard to make up to date Windows XP CD, so when I finally did make it I decided to share it with others. All this stuf is still new for me so I'm learning as I'm trying... your doing pretty well so far. Ive been doing this for awhile so i have a bit of resources up my sleeve. Have you checked out the driverpacks from http://driverpacks.net/. Im thinking of; after getting the latest drivers installed, use Driver Genius to make a backup of the drivers (after deleting all the .nfo and .txt files) and than ill integrate all the drivers with nLite. Thus i wont be needing the driverpacks, just my backup drivers. And also i can delete all the other windows drivers without fuss.

thanks man nice work
