BLB Client is part of the Bit Locker Windows components.

The change desktop background is uh, a "feature" of Windows Starter. It forces the user to always have the same BG. MS didn't think Starter uses were worth allowing desktop background changes.

I wouldn't delete GP. It's a major part of Windows that allows you to configure many things under the hood. http://www.techrepub...icy-editor/3066

I don't think you need Terminal Services unless you're using a terminal program to log into a network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Services#Terminal_Server

BLB schould be Windows Backup

<update description="Windows Block Level Backup provides protection of windows OS and data for diaster recovery scenarios" name="WindowsBlockLevelBackup">

and Bitlocker should be SecureBoot:

"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-SecureStartup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514.mum"

<package identifier="BitLocker" releaseType="Feature Pack">

<parent integrate="delegate">

<assemblyIdentity buildType="release" language="neutral" name="Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-Package" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" version="6.1.7601.17514" />

</parent>

<update description="Provides full volume disk encryption for boot volumes." displayName="BitLocker Drive Encryption" name="BitLocker">

Thanks guys.

Oops got that mixed up. I should have known better not to post when I'm tired. There are several components to BLB (like BLB Drive) and client is one of them.

if you are in doubt open the MUM file and look at the description.

@Magic, I don't even know why that didn't cross my mind. sorry guys.
