Do not remove npptools.dll (I believe it's part of Network Monitor) if you use WinPcap for any reason (I use it for wc3banlist). Took me a while before I discovered how to decompress NPPTOOLS.DL_ from my un-nlited xp-sp2-ryanvm-ed XP source.
Or we could have 2 installers, an 'XPized' version of XPize, and another one with all the nifty software bundled. It actually saves server bandwidth if more people download the former. B)
The new bootscreen needs some colour. Would it show the animated loading bar from the default XP bootscreen if I remove the /noguiboot flag from boot.ini?
