Can I unbloat my Media Center?

[kris2pe]

I only use Media center as an organizer so is there way to remove the other unwanted features to reduce its hog on the resources?

BTW where can I get cool themes 4 my MCE?

1) use nLite to 'unlboat' it, just dont remove 'media center' and framework obviously.

Not the OS itself I mean the Media Center itself!!! So is there away to remove Media center features or services ?

I haven't seen other skins for Media Center yet.

You can disable Media Center Extender Service, Media Center Reciever Service, Media Center Sheduler-service and Multimedia Home Networking Service.

You can delete the .wmv files in WINDOWS\ehome\ to save disk space and uninstall the Sonic CD/DVD Burning but I don't think you can make the application itself smaller.
