Solarium Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Hi all! I've a few doubts regarding the usefulness of some components of network section. In particular, I'm referring to H323MSP: is this component commonly used yet? Can I safely remove it? Second, TAPI Application Support is marked red but if I don't need IP Conferencing, is it safe to remove or will it raise some issues? Third, is Vector Graphics Rendering used in Web pages yet? Can it be safely removed? Fourth, the real usefulness of Web Folders (namely WebDAV support)? Here is the list of the nLite network section components: Active Directory ServicesClient for Netware Networks Communication Tools Control Test Terminal Program Connection ManagerDial-up and VPN SupportFrontPage Extensions H323 MSP Internet Connection Wizard Internet Explorer Internet Explorer Core Internet Information Services IP ConferencingMAC BridgeMap Network Drives/Network Places WizardMSMail and MAPIMSN Explorer NetmeetingNetShell Cmd-ToolNetwork Diagnostic Network Monitor Driver and Tools Network Setup Wizard NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS ProtocolOutlook ExpressPeer-to-Peer Share Creation Wizard Synchronization ManagerTAPI Application SupportTCP/IP Version 6Vector Graphics Rendering Web Folders Windows Messenger This is the list what I would like to take out: Client for Netware Networks, Communication tools, FrontPage Extensions, H323 MSP, Internet Information Services (IIS), IP Conferencing, MSN Explorer, Netmeeting, NetShell Cmd-Tool, NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Protocol, Outlook Express, TAPI Application Support, Vector Graphics Rendering (VML), Web Folders, Windows Messenger. Would you suggest some changes on my list? Something to add because of its irreversible uselessness or something to remove because of its usefulness that I didn't see. Thanks for your precious tips!

GrofLuigi Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) As far as I know, H323MSP is kind of a codec for audio/video conferencing, it is not used outside of the (old) video conferencing programs (like a normal codec). TAPI application support is mostly used for modems (dial-up, maybe others), for applications to control them, like sending fax etc. I have removed it and still was able to do that (most applications use their own drivers). Vector Graphics is used inside Internet Explorer, I don't know if SVG is widely used today still, and I don't use IE at all. I think it's only the file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll I see some people use WebDAV, but for me, it is not useful and I always remove it. Edit: I would keep IE Core, or even IE too, because many programs rely on it internally. I have removed them in the past and regretted. I don't remember whether is possible to install IE8 with them removed - to install it for the same reasons - to have some system dlls updated. Edited November 21, 2016 by GrofLuigi 1
