What Not To Remove For Some Programs

[mraeryceos]

It would make me all too happy to know which files are required, rather than having to put in system restore.

I am using XP SP1, with JdeBoeck's removed files for system restore, while you guys are using XPLite and Nlite. Files taken out by JdeBoeck are:

filelist.xml

rstrui.exe

sr.inf

sr.sys

srclient.dll

srdiag.exe

srframe.mmf

srrstr.dll

srsvc.dll

sysrestr.hlp

sysrestw.chm

I had taken out system restore, so to make the pdf printer install, I had to right-click-install "sr.inf"

sr.inf contains:

I made an INF that installs/uninstalls the 16-bit Subsystem so those who thought they didn't need it can reinstall it, but I have one snag: I don't know where C:\WINDOWS\system\setup.inf is located on the XP CD. It might not be an important file but just to be sure. If not I will publish the INF with setup.inf included.

The INF works very well.

Nevermind, I found it

--

Alright here it is.

NTVDM_nlite.inf

To restore the 16-bit subsytem:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection NTVDM_nlite.inf,Ntvdm.Install

To uninstall the 16-bit subsytem:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection NTVDM_nlite.inf,Ntvdm.Remove

Insert the path to an un-nLited CD or other source when prompted. A restart should not be required. I've only tested on XP SP2 though.

so using nlite it is possible to place an exception list of dlls and other files not to delete? even if we check off to remove a specific functionality?? how and where do we do this? so basically, i could incorporate all of bold fortune's exceptions into nlite and it would not delete them?

can anyone help with this question of mine, i am curious as to this functionality of nlite.

Search a bit more in the remove components page.

(will post a screenshot later)

@phiber0ptik, couldn't find.

I have to say the characters you're mentionning do not necessarilly need unicode.

And one day, I'll make my lastsession.ini translator.

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed that this is a Sticky.

Don't get me wrong, the concept is excellent. But the post itself is quite disorganized, and somewhat incoherent.

Some suggestions:

1) Why not place the list of applications in alphabetical order?

2) You could also make an alternate list with the files (in order) and the programs affected by them. It would be much easier to sift through that way.

3) Why not also include Windows components that shouldn't be removed for certain apps, not just particular files.

I don't know. Just a little more info (maybe a better explanation/intro at the top of the first post) and organization, guys.

Adding BB Code also helps make it more readable.

PS: I'd be glad to help out if you like. (This is a 'real' offer, not a 'sarcastic' one. Really. I'll help.)
