Zxian Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 nLite, nLite, nLite.Just remove everything that you don't need on a daily basis and you should be good to go. The only thing I can see possibly causing you problems would be removing IE and IE Core, perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarquel Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 just a small point ...*ahem*... but make sure you dont remove services that you dont know what they are......you may (and most likely will) run into problems with other things and wonder why - as I've seen a fair few times before on MSFN.Cheers and happy gaming N.

Blam-O! Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 the easiest way to cutt down on windows bloatware would be to NOT install Windows XP....... revert back to win 3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist241 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 ah windows for workgroups... *reminiscence*back to the topic of getting XP going nicely, there is a small freeware app by the nice people at driverheaven.net (yes, the people include the dude who makes the omegadrivers) called "TuneXP", it doesnt seem to get discussed here much which is a pity cos ive found it to be the smallest/most efficent means of tweaking XP post-install:Driverheaven.net - TuneXPhappy tweaking B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
