Putting Vista on a diet

[Ghostie]

Can anyone help?

Back in Windows XP there was a file sysoc.inf that we could change to get at hidden installed programs and trim the fat. Is there such a file in Vista and if so what is its name?

Thanks

[Spooky]

Nope, no more sysoc.inf type file to change, however, you can try this:

Start - Control Panel - Default Programs - on left lower corner click on 'Programs and Features' - then click on 'Turn Windows features on or off'

Thanks, yes, once the project gets further along where it is a final release I will be attacking Vista with Nuhi's latest MASTERPIECE

If nLite is any indication, I wouldn't hold out for a final release... could be a long wait.

I never understood why so many people wait for final releases of apps like these, oh well.

You know your absolutely right, into the fire I go

Vista has shifted to .xml files for a lot of the stuff that they do. A search for files with the word "hide" in them yields a big list - anyone care to parse them all?

You could do it.

Bwah-haaa-haaah! Yeah, right! Just my idea for a couple of days of fun.
