why don't you keep IE and WMP?

[Rudi1]

because I never use IE or WMP and to have a smaller and faster system.For my video and audio needs I use Media Player Classic amd WinAmp.

[MagicAndre1981]

sorry removing WMP and IE doesn't make your system faster. Buy more RAM to speedup your PC. Always keep such important parts even if you don't use them!!!!!

agreed. wmp and ie was so integrated into the system, removing them would likely to cause problems.

[bledd]

yup

bottom line, don't remove a component if you use any part of it.

ie wmp plugin, keep wmp!

[Rudi1]

yes,you are maybae right,but this is not what i like to know.I don't need IE,because so far I'am always delete it with nlite or vlite .Now we have much better browsers available like the bugy IE(Firefox,Opera...) All of you know that microsoft have also the windows N version and this version is without WMP ,but we need the WMP codec files too.

I am using windows 2008 without WMP (but i still keep IE in my system) and after installing wmlite240 i can play WMV content through Firefox with WMP plugin. So there is problaby something wrong with opera, or with your installation of wmlite240 (To get work Windows Media on non WMP system you must select FULL instalation of wmlite instead of DEFAULT)

Thanx for this info,you are right.I must choose the full install.Also the K-lite standard pack work too.Now the wmv movie files and plugin work.

Why are there so many jack-asses in this community? Catching a guy on technicalities when there is an obvious language barrier is just not cool. He simply wants to slim his OS as much as possible. Probably because of hardware constraints. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I could tell by his first post that he was an nLite user, and many people used nLited versions of XP with IE and WMP completely removed and had no issues. Always seemed risky to me but some may assume that later versions of Windows could also handle that kind of slimming.

Not until two posts before me did he finally get a truly helpful answer.

But alas, the info is generally correct. Since vLite came out, I have only heard of people running into issues when removing IE and WMP. IE to me seems obvious because of it's so similar to Windows Explorer. I tend to keep some of those core Windows Apps that seem to have almost universal integration with other windows components. Case and point: IE and WMP.

sorry, shrinking the OS without using brain.exe is a bad idea.

[Rudi1]

Well,you are right MPalmz!and thank you for your support.I'am only try to get help from experience users from this forum.I know that removing stuff like IE and WMP possible made a trouble,but this is the point of Vlite to remove components from os.I know my friend Nuhi long time ago when he is just start with nlite and I'am made a lot of test with nlite and now with Vlite too.I can say that Nuhi is a great person and he is help me a lot,but now is to busy with project and personal life,so I'am ask the guestion here where every one can see and read it.If exist some solution why keep this 2 components if I never use it,but this is only my opinion.

Removing WMP has never given me much trouble, but you should at least keep the codecs. Removing this stuff gives you no increase in speed, minimal space savings and plenty of potential headaches.

I think the idea is to strike a balance between saving space and building a trouble free system. It's not a zero sum game, but it does seem like it at times so careful considerations must be made with regard to the potential problems caused by removing deep rooted system components. The performance increase in VLited systems is largely a myth so I don't even consider that issue.

[fangll]

hi man, at least you can keep windows media codecs and only remove WMP, IE is so not that bad, why not keep it, will not take your too much harddisk space

agree. Its more of a saving space & removing redundant features in the os itself.

[GoBBLeS]

A reason why i've tried to remove it for a long time, is simply because WMP has so many ties to the system, like the stupid services that runs all the time and that it's hard to remove associations to filetypes, and if i can save some space, why not.

I wanna use the codec but NEVER see the app if i can. It seems there's a solution earlier in the thread and thanks for that. As for for the first few replies; try to look beyond your own bowl, for once.

without trying to look big headed, both myself and MagicAndre have posted in nlite/vlite a lot, and have used both many times

we've both arrived to the same conclusion, that it's best to keep components that you need a part of, instead of scrambling for a solution when things don't work.

we're simply passing on what we've learned the 'hard way'

and i'd never target someone because of a language barrier , one of the thing i love about msfn is the great mix of languages / localities

no need to fly off the handle and jump at our throats

I totally agree

I've tried a lot and and doesn't make any sense to remove such important parts of the OS. Keep it for compatibility and use other tools like FireFox, VLC and so on. I only remove parts which I KNOW they don't cause error and my Vista runs fine, fast and I can install updates without having any kind of errors.

Yes, but these versions do not remove the files, only the entry points in the UI so they appear to be missing, but are actually not missing at all. Remove the files at your own risk - if removal of the IE or WMP binaries causes other apps to break, putting them back and rebuilding is really your only option.
