Ok, but in a normal environment they are not needed? If I ever get a system failure I just reinstall (15min of staring at a progressbar).

Hiyas
I'm making my own shellpack using XPeros installer system and I was wondering do I need to save all the 256 color (8 bit) and 16 color (4 bit) icons?
Shouldn't XP be able to use the 32-bits icons everywhere? Cause some icons only have 32*32, 4-bit icons. Shouldn't I be able to replace them with 32*32, 32-bit?

Check out this topic to get the needed files and key. Then just borrow a friends Xp Home and throw the oembios.* files and winnt.sif on it and you are good to go.

That and more stuff is located in syssetup.dll.
For an easy way to edit WinNtBBU.dll look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...p;hl=winntbbued

I really enjoyed Deus Ex too, good story and good gameplay

Check your XPCD, you might find a folder named "Support" there, in it you will find a folder named "Tools". Now in there is a CAB file named DEPLOY.CAB, just use WinRAR to unRAR it.
Now you should have a file called setupmgr.exe which is a Microsoft made program to do the answer file, you'll also find ref.chm, which is the helpfile.

What did the BSOD say? That might help to figure out whats wrong.
If the computer automatically restarted after the BSOD, do this to make it stay on screen:
Right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Goto Advanced tab -> Startup and Recovery: settings -> UNcheck "automatically restart".

I'm actually making a batch file to remove stuff from my XPCD...
Those CABs looke very usefull, I had forgot about sysoc.inf which obviously needs to be edited.
But still there are numerous entries in the HIVE files about 'games' and some entries about the *.exe files.
Are those safe to remove? I'm not very familiar with the HIVEs so if anyone cares to explain ho they work, please do so.
And that minesweeper... yes, has to be the best malware killer there is
Thanks for your help 0 -
I'd like to know how to nLite the manual way, for example to remove the Games:
I delete these files from /I386:
games.in_
sol.ex_
sol.ch_
sol.hl_
winmine.ex_
winmine.ch_
winmine.hl_
mshearts.ex_
mshearts.ch_
mshearts.cn_
mshearts.hl_
freecell.ex_
freecell.ch_
freecell.hl_
spider.ex_
spider.ch_
spider.hl_I then delete the corresponding entries in DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF
Ok, but this just deletes the files and tells setup not to copy them. What more do I need to remove to make everything about the Games disappear?
There are numerous entries for these files and even more entries for "games" in the files HIVECLS.INF, HIVEDEF.INF, HIVESFT.INF, HIVESYS.INF and HIVEUSD.INF
And what about removing services and other crap the manual way?
Any help would be appreciated

Get windows cd from rescue discs
Hiyas, I recently bought a Packard Bell desktop computer with an OEM Windows Home, I burned the rescue discs from it (4 CD's).
On the 4th disc I found a FILES.ARJ with the size of 425Mb, got it unpacked and it contained the I386 folder (427Mb) and all the subfolders and files like a 'real' Xp CD.
I then took the SETUP.EXE, BOOTFONT.BIN and those WIN**** files from my laptops WindowsXp and put them in the same directory as the I386 folder and started up nLite which said "Make sure that the selected folder contains the proper installation files".
So are those files specific for the laptops Windows or am I missing some other files from the I386 folder? I haven't tried it in VMWare yet.
Does anyone have any experience in extracting a Windows Cd from rescue discs?
Is it even legal to do it?
Did I post this in the wrong forum/section?
The reason I want to extract the Windows is because Packard Bell thinks I need
all the other software that comes on the other 3 CD's which I don't want.
And this computer is gonna be a 'TV-comp' someday so I would like to slim Windows it down a lot.

Is 256 and 16 color icons needed in XP?
in Customizing Windows
Posted · Edited by daedalus123
Thank you for your opinions, gonna leave the 16 color icons.
And in my opinion as well the 256*256 icons take up way too much space, gonna remove them.
Yes, it's all going to be Vista and Vista-like icons. I have taken them from Energize, XPize, VTP, from around the net and some I've even made myself
Almost done now.
