So, if you have a corporate version of Windows, there is no problem with removing OOBE, right? Otherwise, you can't activate windows, and in however many days, you will have to reinstall? Or, instead, does it just ditch the activation process completely?

wow, I posted the wrong one. That is the one when I decided to disable it because it WASN'T removing it! When I get back to work tomorrow, I'll post the right one.

I actually came up with a list of these myself, by creating the folder from the disc and removing everything except what was hidden by the Compatibility options. I will post it here soon, especially if there is interest in it (which I am sure there is, unless it has already been done!) Anyway, for Windows Activation and Sysprep, Desktop Cleanup Wizard and Out of Box Experience are both required. Which way does this dependency go? I am assuming it means that Windows Activation and Sysprep require Desktop Cleanup Wizard and Out of Box Experience. Is this true, if so why? If not, then I should be able to safely remove them, correct? Thanks

I am using 2.0.7a and am not seeing Terminal Services missing. Is there a thread describing this problem in more detail?

The InfraRed Drivers are not being removed when I use nlite 1.0 to remove them. FYI, the initial version of XP is build 0, but I have been slipstreaming SP2. If I go back in and try to remove it after slipstreaming, and/or other patches, it still doesn't remove them. Thanks

Just FYI, and to confirm what was said above, this problem does not occur with desktops that have the same chipset, this is just on notebooks. Based on the descriptions above, of it taking the desktop driver instead of the notebook driver, that would make perfect sense.

I am trying to find out two things: First, I am wondering about the Desktop Cleanup Wizard. It is hidden if the Windows Activation and Sysprep compatibility option is checked. Why is it required by one or both of these? Second, more generally, I am interested in finding a list of the options that are hidden by each Compatibility entry. This is currently a hunt and peck situation to find out which components are required by each Compatibility entry. Thanks!
