yes... the new DCS1 compression isn't something you luckily have to take care off... just the more or less regular compression. yes of course i tested you're free version but as you also know the interessting part is only in payed version and unless I know it's working the way I think it should/have to work it would be some blind buy (for me, in a technical aspect).

interessting info that you have created you're own engine... didn't know that. so i guess you're reading out the mum and manifest files and do the "magic?" sidequestion: did you expand the manifest files by yourself or was there some little help by mdl / superbubble SxSExpander? of course i was pretty interessed as you announced ntlite in the beginning but as for many of us (no more criticise) the price is/was just out of range for "just some" modding/creating experimental windows versions.

nice move JFX. thanks.

great work! and Tihiy may can also implement it in SiB ^^

Yours is for personal user His is for sign-in mask (dark blue) Here some all values (also für autounattend)

Sure. Most of us (power-users) prefer the classis startmenu. But when I change the system from W7 to W8 I guess I will use my methode in combination with classic shell.

But this can be easily disabled with a registry entry. I thought this Desktop Experience Pack thing is not installed by default?!

Bypassing metro that way in Windows Server 2012 (and perhaps in 8 too) has a small issue - you loose access to "Change PC settings", with boot to desktop enabled this setting is gone: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd prefer Ex7forW8 to get rid of metro. I also can't confirm this. And please don't use this for Server 2012. You can easily disable Modern/Metro with a registry key! The policy for Server 2012 is default to load straigt into desktop.

you can contact me if you want.. - it seems you have also a very nice approch as i tested you startisback tool. looks like mine.. - contact details on the website. would be nice to hear from you. - i also will provide details of my methode to you if you want/need. I'm actually not really patching or modifing any system files.

Right. Not yet... It will be ported to an exe for better Errorhandling. I guess a release will be available this or next week. - I will keep the neowin post and youtube description up to date.

My version of bypassing Metro UI after logon doesn't require any tool or programm and does it in a nativ way. - You won't see Metro at all while login. - Also not the 1-2 sec. right after the login. You can skip to 2:45.
