@Borec You can find updated drivers without setup package (and control panel) on the internet. For example, many can be found at the windows update website if you use the administrator download option.

Thank for making this.

Thank gor the tip. I undestand that uncompressing the cab files will gain time but, may some one give us a real example ? (not in vmware)

10 min here, but not extra software included.

it was A full boot with stop watch process. But i must say I have a WD Raptor 1000 rpm Hardisk, with only 8 services running on my xp.

Some services set to manual by windows are started by hierachal others. if you set services like cryptogaphic service (wich default is to automatic) they will not be started by windows and you will have an error. The workarround is to have a place like me in you start menu with a group of shorcut to start service. for example net net start "CryptSvc" will start the cryptogaphic service. I suggest tweaking your service and others windows setting as much as you can, you will get a faster pc. Mine boot from bios screen to windows in 8 sec.

Cryptographic Services is only needed when you install directx (ex: direct X 9.0c) not for using it, I am a gamer so I do use directx. If a new version had to come I would need to start the service to install it. You also need this for windows update. I am not sure about DSN CLIENT. Mine is disabled, and my firefox is very fast. Protected storage is not needed for firefox password function I dont have a security center, so I dont know much about Security Accounts Manage, but from what I know, if every account are admins, then it seem ok to disable it.

we were talking about Behavior blockering (aka process guard) software. Filemon is not a process guard software. for a complete list of software go to http://wiki.castlecops.com/Different_class...rial_blockers:-

I hope you dit not pay any extra for this crap, it not windows xp. I would not want to have this even for free.

YOu seem to like to speak to yourself You ask a lot of things and not very clearly, That why i Think no one reply to you. I will try to answer some of your query. 1 Can a bootable ISO made & saved by Nlite be manipulated again ? Yes for removing, No for adding. 2 Is an Nlite made bootable ISO, with all the slip streaming, as good as a fresh install?? You can do a fresh install with nlite 3. Whats the extreme slip straming that any one has performed using Nlite.........btw which works too lol. Slipstreaming is not about removing thing but the action to integrate service pack or KB in a xp build. 4. Nlite shouldnt be used with antivirus, antispywares installed & active? It depend on you level of knowledge, I dont use any active antivirus or spyware. 5. Can one extract the OS from the recovery dvds? This method is hard, you shoud get a real cd of xp as a base. The rest of you question were not clear to me.

In the Borec list: Cryptographic Services is only needed for directx installation or or other ms installation. I set it to manual DNS Client is not needed for you local pc Print Spooler is only needed for printer and some virtual pdf printer Protected Storage is off on my pc, the only thing i know it does his allow IE to keep password, since IE suck you dont have to care Shell Hardware Detection is off on my system, the only consequence I see is that I dont have autorun on dvd-rom and i like it. I agree with the rest of the list, but just be sure you know what your doing, there no unique approach to tweaking pc.

What are you trying to do, your request is not clear, you want to restore previous services setting or backup data ?

No, just dont remove thing if your not sure.

Using in nlite you can do this, but if you want to do this with an already install windows, I am not sure it will work well.

Thank for this link it work well

RegDefend is really good, fast (written in ASM) and powerful. I dont use it , but i recommend it to friends also a good freeware is startupmonitor, it will prompt you to allow change to startup. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml

openoffice export as pdf. or use a freeware virtual pdf printer like pdfcreator. @neo Your MS fanboy attitude is totally disgusting.

Thank a lot.

Hi, I will stick with xp for as many time as I can, But I am curious since in 2 to 3 years I will have to 'upgrade' ( wich feature is an updgrade ?, the new gui maybye ) to vista. What the final build size you get with vlite ?

Oh you deleted your driver when created your nlite cd ! Then rebuild a new nlite cd.

Are your sure about the dependancy of prefecthing to task scheduler ? I have never heard of it.

set the sevices you want to automatic, this way they will start once windows start. Your probably tweak those setting in nlite.

Hi does some one know how to use it ? I can configure it. I am only able to do use -ms *.rar. I would like to add .zip, .jpg ...

Dont remove things and then complain about their asbence

@Jeremy You are wrong. Anyone could post a link to a website on any topic. What the goal of it ? If you were saying a comment with a link, maybe then it will be clear. ablafontain, like any reader what confuse. http://www.portablefreeware.com/ or http://portableapps.com/ are not comments there are URL.
