Hi, does whereisit can capture all files in wim file by just mounting it? I was planning to use vista wimfilter so that I could use vLite on it thanks!

Hey.

Is there any places where i can see what i can safely remove from Windows 8 with the WinToolkit without breaking the installation or other important things in Windows 8?

When i choose the Windows 8 Client (64-bit) in WinToolkit, then i get up 219 components i can remove.

If someone can give me some pictures with what i can remove for example, then it would be great.

Hi aviv00.

I just have a couple of questions. I sysprepped an image where I installed all the latest updates for Windows 8.

1. I dont see a backup folder in the winSXS directory. Am I doing something wrong there?

I ran disk cleanup before Sysprep and that cleaned the cache, so could that have removed the backup directory also??

2. In point 5, above you talk about running *.* in dirs IME and Speech.

Does that mean running a search in those folders?

Can you explain explain nr5 in more detail, as I dont understand what you mean by "add the files to user list and search from there to whole clg"

Your help would be much appreciated :-)

Thx.
