I have to include IIS because I need it from time to time. But I want the IIS Admin service deactivated after a fresh install. As the IIS Admin service isn't available on the Services tab of nLite, how do I do this? TIA, Markus

Well, you're completely right and I wouldn't try to contradict. I read your message and also took a look at the links you provided. While they are useful they don't answer my initial question. ;-) So I try it a different way: You can nLite Windows 2000 professional and you can nLite XP professional. If you put the two side by side you will notice that there are options in nLite with XP professional that are not there in nLite with Windows 2000 professional. What I'm looking for should be a list of just these options. Get the point? Markus PS: If I had the source code of nLite I could probably compile this list myself...

You're right. But I'm completely lost with the many things you can check/uncheck in nLite. So this would take a month of my spare time at least and I don't like to invest that much time. ;-) So if someone could kindly provide a list of topics I have to check/uncheck in nLite that would improve the process by magnitude. :-) A session.ini of someone who already went through the same steps would be a good starting point for me, too.

Yes, that is obvious. What's not obvious (at least to me) is how to find out what is in XP but not in Windows 2000. I can tell a few things like the dialog that pops up when you insert an usb stick or the desktop cleaning wizard or the firewall or the security center. But I'm sure there's way more. Is there a list or something? Or does nLite provide a way to tell if any given option is there in XP but not there in Windows 2000? I hope this clarifies what I'm looking for. Markus

For performance reasons I installed Windows 2000 on all my computers for years. Unfortunately more and more setup programs insist on XP SP2 as the minimum OS version. So I thought I take my XP Professional CD, slipstream SP3 and deactivate everything that wasn't there in Win2k SP0. If I just could find a list of the things I have to deactivate... Can you help me? Thanks in advance, Markus
