I would like to be able to maximize my Windows XP without losing or having the outside border cropped off. I remember using a program a few years ago that could do just that, but I can't remember the name and it's probably outdated now anyway. Would anybody know how this is done or be able to steer me to a program that would prevent the borders of the maximized windows from being chopped off.

I'm not sure what version of nlite I was using, but it would have been the latest release as of March/2006 and yes I did keep Printer Support. dhedges

Just a few words on partitioning. My HD is 129GB, not real big but big enough for me. I have it divided into six (6) partitions and name them as follows : System (Drive 1 - 10GB) - where I only have my operating system (WinXP) and program files installed. Working (Drive 2 - 10GB) - for all my downloads and basically a place to unzip files and store stuff until I decide whether I want to keep it or not. I dont even download into a directory, just directly onto my working Drive and unzip everything there too. Naturally that's when the directories are created. Programs (Drive 3 - 20GB) - for all my programs that don't have to be installed and you'ld be surprised at how many programs that have an executable file but don't really need it. I do howerver let it go through the motions and then go to my Program Files on drive © and copy the directory over to my Programs Drive. Sometimes there is a little tweaking involved and saving registry files but rarely and not much. Media (Drive 4 - 50GB) - for mp3's, movies, pictures etc. I even keep my games here. To make life easier I make shortcuts to my Games and I forgot to mention for my Programs on Drive 3. I put these shortcuts into a directory called Games and another called Programs and just put these folders on my taskbar. Makes it easy when formatting and trying to set everything up again. Storage (Drive 5 - 20GB) - for programs that have to be set-up (executed) Torrent Files, Drivers, Icons and mostly stuff I use rarely or when reinstalling windows. Personal (Drive 6 - 10GB) - This drive speaks for itself. I keep Tax Returns, Serial Numbers and lots of goodies here and locked up tight with Truecrypt which is a great little free program. this Drive is not even visible until I mount it (in other words make it visible) I Know I could have several directories on 2 or 3 Partitions which works fine and I used to do this but it is much better and more organized for me now. I even keep shortcuts for my Media and Programs Drives on my taskbar. Just my 2 cents on Partitioning ! dhedges

I should have known better than to check the "remove support" option for 16 bit applications as I had a problem once before trying to get my Samsung printer to work. Even though it is only a year old it requires a Wow32.dll file which is removed with 16 bit support. After finding the solution to that problem on the forums, I kind of figured I wouldn't be installing any older programs that would require 16 bit support so when I made my latest WinXP CD I checked the option again. It is a gamble to remove many of the components with Nlite unless you read every post of "what not to remove" and even that's not 100%. That being said I will continue to experiment and have some fun but not with that option. I want to also say I almost never have problems with my nlited WinXP and I would like to thank all who reply to my post's when I do. dhedges

I removed support for 16 bit applications and now I can't run Installrite 2.5. Is my only option to make another WinXP and leave the support for 16 bit applications, or is there another solution ? Thanks Dhedges

Your right, pixels is what I meant to say, not bits. Thanks for pointing that out, it's no wonder I haven't had any reply. Hopefully I might get an answer now. regards Doug

I want to start up my unattended WinXP installation with 48 bit icons rather than 32 bit icons. Can someone tell me what I need to do to tweak this setting or offer me the reg.key or something. Thanks Doug

This is a follow-up to a to a question I posed quite a while ago re: my Samsung ML-1710 printer not working. This is the error message I kept getting (Can't load SmartUI Library (code 126) error, ) when I tried printing. I never got around to making another nlited WinXP with less options removed trying to find exactly what was causing the problem. Nobody else seemed to have any ideas either, because after nearly two months I only got one reply to my post (Mar.25th) with a possible solution. Well guess what, that was enough. The solution offered by member ( DIGERATIPRIME ) was to put the WOW32.DLL file into my system32 directory. I didn't have the file so I downloaded a couple of versions from the internet. The first version did not work and I thought, should I bother with the second WOW32.DLL ver. 4.0.0.950 or not but I did and to my amazement it worked. I fired up the printer and it worked perfectly. Thanks again to DIGERATIPRIME, for taking the time, Dhedges

Looks like I stripped too much out of WinXP when I nlitened it. I've searched high and low and have tried several fixes to resolve the problem with no luck. I can't post my .ini file because I am not at home but I know I removed 16 bit support which I read could be the culprit. I did try and fix that issue by using a little program I found that reinstalled 16 bit support but still not able to get the printer working. I would like to find out what specifically is causing the printer not to start up. Below is the actual error meassage Can't load SmartUI Library (code 126) error specified module could not be found Any advice or thoughts would be a appreciated and can I add the missing files at this point.

I want to extract and look at the MusicMatch cab files but apparently they're different from Microsoft's cab files which I don't have a problem extracting using extract.exe from the reource kit and many archive programs. None of these work with the MusicMatch cabs. I am wondering if anyone knows how to get these open. Thanks Doug
