You raise good points: my original SP3 source may be corrupted or my use of RVM before nLite to integrate "post-SP3" hotfixes may be at fault. Will you answer one last question? From what I can see in nLite, there is no switch that would cause this "generic icon" behavior as an intended result. Do you agree? Thanks.

Thanks John, the folders are fine. It's the icons for the programs themselves that don't appear. Instead, a generic shell32.dll icon is in the folder. I ran nLite on a clean copy of my Win XP install into which I had already integrated SP3 using RVM Integrator. Does the "Last Session.ini" contain any personal information? If not, I will add it to this posting. Thanks again.

After installing an nLited version of Win XP SP3, I am encountering an unexpected problem. When I install new applications, they show up on the Start menu with a generic icon. I have to manually change the shortcut to point to the icon associated with that application. Some of the programs installed by Windows, e.g. Notepad, also had this problem. What changes I need to make to my nLite profile to correct this setting for future installations. Also, what can I do now post-installation to fix the problem? Thanks.

I removed a lot of XP components, so I'll avoid running the SP3 updater. Is the same thing basically true for any update from Windows Update?

I have an Eee PC with an nLited XP Pro SP2 install. If I d/l SP3 from Windows Update will it install all the XP stuff I nLited out or just update whatever files it finds? Should I expect that post-SP3 I'll have less disk space? Thanks.
