    Windows Server 2003 SP1 SP2 March 13, 2007 No further updates planned

    One must remember XP 64 is based on 2003 codebase, and relatively speaking it is not that long time ago since sp2 for xp x64.

    IF there is to be a SP3 xp x64, i dont believe we'll see that before end of 2009/2010, heck maybe even 2011. If it's not out by then, it doesnt seem likely MS will release a SP3 for xp x64.

  2. Ultravnc service needs Terminal Service to properly work per my experience.

    Although ultravnc will install if terminal services is disabled upon reboot the server component won;t properly load. Upon activation of terminal services after a reboot the service load properly.

    Have you tried to see if u can just remove the dependency?

  3. goto the tweaks sub forum at msfn, should get you started.

    Problem is tweaks are different for each windows version etc.

    Most small programs can be portable-ized. I have like 2.5gb of portable programs, plus all my games are portable, so no need to install any of that.

    So thats one idea. Download portable programs and just call a script to copy them where wanted..

  4. Many seem to think that because they use the standard xp theme, and 3dmark scores higher with that, that is a because the theme is better. The performance hit is just 0.01 like percentage difference.

    However, once one set login screen etc, and logged in theme to simple classic, score is definitively higher.

    This was one of the main reasons why win2003 had a superior 2d performance wise especially vs other operating system by as much as 50% (yes 50percent!) faster at certain test. As said because of it runs with classic theme NATIVELY. Of course one is insane if one think that performance difference comes from themes being used of course. But it does impact the overral response, at certain things. One can measure this difference with programs such as Passmark Performance Test.

  5. I like your attitude, if you can do this, it sure would be nice. I do like the idea of having "profiles" dir on another partition, but to do the process manually is more of pain in the back then its worth it for me. Especially more so since i am always reinstalling OS on system, sometimes several times a day.

  6. It is possible to exactly define the drive letters before the Windows XP installation.

    It is possible to choose your drive letters without such silly things as removing hard drives or deleting partitions.

    It is even possible to put "Program Files" and "Documents and Settings" on different physical drives so Windows runs faster.

    See the solution outlined at the link below:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/profiles-directo...me-t125819.html

    Many years ago i used to change the location of documents and settings, all inclusive local system service /network / all accounts.

    However just 4-5 years ago i no longer noticed any benefit to this approach. It is also not as easy as you seem to think it is IF one dont like to have D:\ or whatever partition letter windows setup will create for that partition. It IS also dependent on the harddrives order connecting.

    While a solution can always be put forth manual and has been an option since forever, what you write of is nothing new at all.

  7. You do not understand. Any such virtual machine software also comes with its own virtual bios settings. Which in many cases would have different bootup settings, naturally, from that of your own physical computer.

  8. Nothing of this makes any sense to me. And what you are trying at has already been accomplished by way, way, way better methods. That and there are several other niche guides delivering installation walkthroughs, as update packs, and removal guides.

    Everyone with the knowledge to copy over files from cd or make an iso of it, already has a backup of that on their harddrive most likely, unless they are completely new at this, which is unlikely. I wouldnt call that an absent feature, its not like nlite cant make an iso for the user.

    Nlite is not supposed to think for the user. One has to realize if one makes nlite images often, it is a good idea to keep a ISO copy on harddrive.

    In short, i dont see the point. =(

  9. Nlite doesnt remove any such files withyou you selecting to do so. afaik.

    Also i wouldnt upload a video to youtube with your product registration key/serial. Even if its only partial. I didnt bother to watch the video entirely, didnt seem to add any other information + quality sucked.
