do you know perhaps if vmware can log file reads? this way its easier, all have todo is wait till boot finishes look at the file read list than the files that are not listed can be removed. how do i change the path of the font folder? and is it possible to change the system32 to windows folder. all my windows folder is now is system32 and fonts so i geuss i want to putt the fonts folder into C: (other os may also want have these fonts.) and put all the files from system32 into windows folder. how do i change it so cmd.exe as shell starts into fullscreen, it now starts in a window. alt+enter evry boot is annoying. and i think i will also put a dos boot manager in, or maybe from linux?

but i have to be registered :| can u attach it in this thread...

you are right... but i dont know where to start, cant i just dl the base hive reg files? i have never use winbuilder.. i will check out your batch file i see its SP1, not that it should matter cause the basic files are still the same..

right now im building a list of required registry keys and dll's for the basic files (minlogon, lsass.exe, services.exe, blackbox.exe) (i dont know if svchost.exe and run32dll is required for now) minlogon strings: 01001210: 'PrimaryDnsSuffix',0000h 01001234: 'NV PrimaryDnsSuffix',0000h 01001260: 'Software\Policies\Microsoft\System\DNSclient',0000h 010012BC: 'Domain',0000h 010012CC: 'NV Domain',0000h 010012E0: 'Hostname',0000h 010012F4: 'NV Hostname',0000h 01001310: 'System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters',0000h 01001378: 'SAS window class',0000h 0100139C: 'SAS window',0000h 010013C8: 'Skew1',0000h 010013E0: 'System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa',0000h 0100142C: 'SecurityService',0000h 0100144C: 'UuidSequenceNumber',0000h 01001474: 'Software\Microsoft\Rpc',0000h 010014A4: 'SecureBoot',0000h 010014F8: 'Winsta0\Default',0000h 01001518: 'LsaStart',0000h 0100152C: 'ServiceControllerStart',0000h 0100155C: 'Config',0000h 0100156C: 'Userinit',0000h 01001580: 'Shell',0000h 0100158C: 'SetupType',0000h 010015A0: 'FactoryPreInstallInProgress',0000h 010015D8: 'SystemSetupInProgress',0000h 01001604: 'CmdLine',0000h 01001614: 'cmd.exe',0000h 01001628: '%SystemRoot%\system32\lsass.exe',0000h 01001668: '%SystemRoot%\system32\services.exe',0000h 010016B0: 'System\Setup',0000h 010016D0: 'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon',0000h 0100173C: ' -setup',0000h 0100174C: ' -nolsa',0000h 0100175C: 'Default',0000h 0100176C: 'Winlogon',0000h 01001780: 'WinSta0',0000h 01001790: 'USERPROFILE',0000h 010017A8: 'COMPUTERNAME',0000h 010017C4: 'InitShutdown',0000h 010017E0: '\INSTALLATION_SECURITY_HOLD',0000h 01001818: '\SAM_SERVICE_STARTED',0000h 01001844: 'shsvcs.dll',0000h 0100185C: 'RpcSs',0000h 01001868: 'SamSs',0000h 01001874: '\Security\WxApiPort',0000h 01001A6C: 'eventlog',0000h 01001A80: '\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\',0000h 01001B0C: 'ncacn_np',0000h 01001B20: '\PIPE\',0000h -setup and -nolsa seems to be command lines? i think minlogon can be made so it does not execute lsass.exe

i dont know, i did remove OOBE

for now i will just use load/unload hive function in reg edit.

i also have problems with fully unattended so i used hide pages instead... maybe that is the same problem u are having.

what is the registery key for changing the shell? and the raw reg program i cannot add a new key ...it jsut does not work

bblean is fine. thanks. i can always change.\ the link to download raw reg is dead...

> Board Offline The board backup is being performed. We will be back online once it is complete. anyway... im going todo it file by file, key by key. i will use a diffrent shell(blackbox for now) and minlogon from my XPe. you are completly right about the "modular" thing, But in my case i want to make replacements of almost evrything(maybe not in the beginning, start with notepad, a simple explorer etc.) I think i will be looking into C with assembly (look here http://www.phreedom.org/solar/code/tinype/) since i will use the NTDLL.DLL which contains almost all the base functions, dependencies of my software will be small and with tinype these programs might only be a few 10's KB. Maybe i will even end up programming my own wireless configuration service. (i have no idea how im going todo this but i will have to look into r egistry keys for this and into linux wireless drivers) But for now the most imporant for me is to make the very basic build with blackbox working.

ok i want to do the same thing that is done there. basicly make a windows that has no "software" in it. remove all components in nlite. and after that remove all left over by hand... regedit... all the commandline tools. even mmc and the CPL bits... basicly anything that is possible to be deleted... I also have a copy of windows embeded 2009 i took minlogon from there and i integrated this in the nlite install, but at first boot it goes wrong. But im also pretty sure that alot of features of winlogon can be removed through the registry keys. please pm me your msn... its easier to ask for help, if you arnet to busy.. ok these guys seem todo it diffrent. what i am gonna try is, make my vmware use one of my partitions as a virtual hard drive, install a xp with all componennts remove. then i will shut down the vm and then remove all files made in my partition. Then i will add file by file, and go from there. The only problem i am facing is i need a tool to edit the registry files in system32/config. I am also a programmer so i can make replacements for tools which have no dependencies! If i can do this i will be able to make a very lite capable xp.. any help is welcome please pm me yahoo/msn..

thanks. my list is kinda growing big... i will test it for now.. there are still many DLL's that i rpobally do not need

well what annoys me most is that these files are there in my fresh install! i wonder if anyone could make a custom XP installater. and if someone could... is it legal? and i have a few questions are ntkrnlpa.exe and command.com allso really needed???

thanks i always test inn vmware. i will just see how it goes i dont think any program needs these files. For registery editing i will add a better program

Whats the diffrence, why would i need 2 programs for the same thing? also regedit is in the windows and in windows/system32. i only need one. and maybe i dont need it at all. Can there be an option to remove this file

here it is but i dont see it in winnt.sif [Options] CABMerge CABNoHigh ClassicSetup BlackSetupBack DisableFreereq DisableMinMem DupeFiles ProfilesDir = "D:\Profiles" TargetPath = "WINXP" temp_dir = %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp NoWmpComp NoKeepCp RemoveMUI CleanBiosInfo AdvTweaks

im not sure where the profile path is located... maybe i forgot to set it in this build... but im pretty sure i did set it

i dont need .NET i dont use media player, even compatabiliy patch is removed. thanks... i think intl.inf contains lots of code page keys. ok thanks... so i see lots of .mui files laying around my OS, there sohuld be an option to remove them printer support and 16 bit support are both removed ... so i geuss i dont need it. if i have removed shell services, themes service is removed also. But i have not seen any option to remove the theme service. and it did not slow my pc hmm maybe not clear enough. i was talking about the option in the performance-> visual effects i have absolutly no need for this... all is helpfull. thanks! : )

all i do is set program file to D:\programs and profiels to D:\profiles. on a clean sp3 cd. works fine for me

hi, can anyone explain to me what the role of winlogon is the first time its boot up?

so what part of windows is creating these files? winlogon.exe?

axactly and thats why nlite needs a minor update

why are they needed they are just 16 bit support files.. rephrase.. by WHAT is it needed?
