Hi, first post, but LOVE nlite. Now, I'm trying Vista. Got a laptop from.... ugh, Acer, and it's recovery CD is LOADED with crappy 3rd party apps for videos, pictures, etc. Between Vista and XP, to me, the CD is night and day, I have NO idea what can be removed that's not Microsoft. So the question: how do I remove all the third party garbage?!? Which folders are the one's they are in? If I missed a guide somewhere, sorry, you can just point me to it. I would also like to slim down the Vista home basic as well; seems bulky. I got 2 gigs of ram and it's SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWW haha, thanks so much in advanced!!! P.S. Can I run Vlite from XP? Or do I have to go and do all this from the laptop with Vista
