I installed NOD32 as my virus protection and Outpost as firewall. Both together eats about 50 mb of ram . I didnt change any settings, but can I configure them a different way and still get protection but not use so much ram?

The one I posted wont work with 2k for some reason Just another quick question. How much functionality is lost if IE and core are gone?

What do you think of this one? CPU and ram monitor. Its own control panel.

I agree

The ROS explorer looks extreemly nice. I agree with you about it being too early in beta to be stable. I am stil looking though. I am still leaning toward the nt3.51 look but I think it will loose to much functionality. The shell I mentioned before looks promising and its free.

I like outpost but it uses much ram. I have read in here it can be configured to use less, I cant seem to do it. Does anyone here know how?

Geo looks nice does it run on 2k?

I vote for windows 2k It is a great a few small tweaks and a super OS.

Dels Look at this http://www.fracturesoftware.nl/codex.jpg Its called codex 3000. It looks more functional than bblean and its free too download here http://www.fracturesoftware.nl/codexe.htm

I will probally use it. The interface is clean and everything is close at hand. Develope themes I dont know how

whoa, how if we use progman? maybe windows just simply don't want to login Oh Oh Does this mean it is very hard to make it work properly or simply wont work properly at all? Tried bblean a little bit ago without any plugins, nice. Use a little more ram instead of less I am still experimenting.

Thanks I not good with $OEM$ but will give it a go. I think I can edit hive to make bblean default shell.

I think you are right. I would loose functionality as a result of this tweak. I wanted something clean and where everything is close at hand. A big plus would use less resources and keep functionality. Also be setup and ready to use upon install. Do you know of a way to have bblean or bb4win setup from cd? Thanx

I think I know after a little research Explorer.EX Shell32.DL Program Manager all from nt3.51 am I missing anything, or have to much in my list?

Not yet I am a bit confused which files to swap to get the nt3.51 look.

I have nt3.51. If I want the desktop to look like this, Do I add files from nt3.51 to 2k? If so which ones? Explorer,Program Manager?? Are they just a simple swap of files? Someone please help

OK its like I thought it has to be intergrated later in the install process. Look Here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=49408&hl=

Has anyone tested to see if this works?

I tried installing win2k appliance server kit and got a wscript shell error. Anyone know about this?

Do you take out IE and core? The appliance kit sounds interesting

gdogg I need help Please I want to add minlogon to 2k and take lsass and other stuff out without breaking it.

2K/ie6/dx9/codecs* 1700 130 12 35meg 245 meg 100 meg <-hfslip red. 1/27/06 This is very impressive/\ Was any functionality lost?

Oh definitly from 2k3 will be NTDETECT and NTLDR. I am going to see if gdogg will help in the milogon intergration. He has sucessfully got it to work in xp. If I can get a few files from NT4 embedded might even be better. I got some IT friends they might help out with files. Do you guys think the program manager from NT3.5 is a good idea or not?

lsass like you said is part of networking but its part of the complex netwoking which most people at home with a modem and router doesnt need. Minlogon from embedded made xp into a single user machine. This made booting much faster and used much less ram. To me the simpler desktop from NT3.51 was much cleaner, but everything was very close. Much closer than start>programs>_______ I do like your idea of using explorer from NT4 or an alternate shell With minlogon I had varied degrees of sucess. Some things werent saved upon reboot, but it sure did boot fast. I know windows 2000 didnt have embedded but NT4 did Maybe after working the kinks outRename this to Windows 2000 Personal or Home---or----NT5 Personal or Home

Here is what I need to do to windows 2000. Remove lsass Use minlogon from xp embedded Use NT3.51 program manager for the desk top. But first things first. Is it possible to remove or disable lsass?
