Ok taking a break... I think if I add anything else I will break the forums LOL I think I may need to use text coloring for the seperate projects.. Win2k, XPSP1a, XPSP2. Is it get hard to follow or is it still ok? Updated PDF so it is current.

Added Windows 2000 SP4 specific information Added Slipstreaming SATA/RAID Drivers information

I used search and located this... http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/reference.htm

I have service pack 2 and I cannot install WMP10 either. EDIT : Can't install WMP9 either. Probably because I have an nLited version of Windows.. and I deleted WMP

Please be aware if you use Microsoft Outlook from Office 2k, XP, 2k3 you NEED Outlook Express installed.

Ask and you shall receive!!! Updated downloadable PDF file for offline printing Added SP1a Specific Information

hrm never tried the tabbed browsing. I think I will give it a shot. However I get annoyed by the taskbar grouping in XP so ... lol

Thank you! Added downloadable PDF file for offline printing.

Ahh Crikey! I like that one! Don't particularly like when Brits say Bollocks... well mainly because I have no idea wtf it means hehe

Will this delete those bastards forever? Yes... Open a command prompt window (CMD.EXE) * Type the following and hit the enter key. regsvr32 /u mydocs.dll A dialog "DllUnregisterServer in mydocs.dll succeeded" will appear. * Select Ok * Delete the My* sub-folders

Added Importing Registry Tweaks instructions Corrected some spelling/format issues Thank you for the sticky admins

Explorer is the shell... so when I am running Firefox I am still running explorer as well... I can close all instances of explorer via Task Manager... which in effect removes my taskbar and only shows my desktop because I killed the shell. Launch IE and Firefox via Task Manager.. IE still has over half the resources. IE is intergrated into the OS not into Explorer per say. At least that is how I understand it. I don't wish to really start a debate about which is better because it is just a matter preference. I was hoping the Firefox supporters could show me the light hehe

Ok... I never usually jump on the bandwagon and try stuff because there is alot of excitement surrounding it. I usually wait until I am convinced. But with all the people raving about it I decided to try it... and I still hate it They keep giving these projects a different name but it is still NETSCAPE. Granted the menus have finally been revamped. The options section is very nice now. It just doesnt feel comfortable. To top it all off... it uses TWICE the resources IE does.? I am not a big fan of IE but it does what it is suppose too 90% of the time and using half the resources of the Netscape clones. Did I miss something really cool when I previewed it or are people just that hell bent on bashing IE?

Will allow you to delete all My Documents Sub Folders.

This fixes the XP DNS Caching bug Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters] "NetFailureCacheTime"=dword:00000000 "NegativeSOACacheTime"=dword:00000000 "NegativeCacheTime"=dword:00000000

I actually plan to include some driver intergration information but I also know nuhi has hinted at a version with driver intergration changes. So we shall see

VMWare Workstation 4.5 information added.

I don't have a copy of XP Home but if someone would like to follow the guide using XP Home and report the changes I will add it to this document. VMWare I do have and did plan to add information regarding this application.

Troglodyte, You are entirely correct. Norton Products have definately become bloatware. I think the reason is they are trying to appeal the basic consumer who wants something to protect them without any interaction. I understand why they would cater to them... They out number the people like us who want to tweak and configure it for the bare minimum. I love NAV but I have stuck with my MAV2002 because 2003+ is heavily bloated. QNX, This doesn't help you any but just an FYI NAV2002 works fine with nLite's "Lite" option but I do have Task Scheduler installed.

Thank you prathapml It is still in the works I just had to give my eyes a break

guide no longer maintained

DXDIAG is your friend

Do you use any products such as Spybot or AD-Aware? If so I would update them and check your system as well as update your Antivirus software. Windows Update is definately not a means for troubleshooting
