daedalus123 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) I'd like to know how to nLite the manual way, for example to remove the Games:I delete these files from /I386:games.in_sol.ex_sol.ch_sol.hl_winmine.ex_winmine.ch_winmine.hl_mshearts.ex_mshearts.ch_mshearts.cn_mshearts.hl_freecell.ex_freecell.ch_freecell.hl_spider.ex_spider.ch_spider.hl_I then delete the corresponding entries in DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIFOk, but this just deletes the files and tells setup not to copy them. What more do I need to remove to make everything about the Games disappear?There are numerous entries for these files and even more entries for "games" in the files HIVECLS.INF, HIVEDEF.INF, HIVESFT.INF, HIVESYS.INF and HIVEUSD.INFAnd what about removing services and other crap the manual way?Any help would be appreciated Edited October 17, 2006 by daedalus123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 add this at the end of your winnt.sif:[components]pinball=offhearts=offspider=offsolitaire=offmisweeper=offzonegames=offif you really want the hard way, look inside the "removal addons" there :http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1769once you understood the structure, they're self-explanatoryimportant : do not remove the minesweeper, or you'll become unable to fight spywares, viruses, rootkits and others malwares ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus123 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm actually making a batch file to remove stuff from my XPCD...Those CABs looke very usefull, I had forgot about sysoc.inf which obviously needs to be edited.But still there are numerous entries in the HIVE files about 'games' and some entries about the *.exe files.Are those safe to remove? I'm not very familiar with the HIVEs so if anyone cares to explain ho they work, please do so.And that minesweeper... yes, has to be the best malware killer there is Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 not knowing hives by heart makes difficult to see what are those "numerous entries". (note: ignore hiveusd.inf)global advice : hive*.inf makes good honey : remove those entries either after setup either via a custom hive (search for hivefix.inf on the board, you'll get a fresh thread).added value of the custom hive method for removing reg entries is that it still works on upgrades or repair-installs (and it avoids you headhaches caused by the unicode format...)++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
