Help slimming down Windows XP

[hellbringer616]

Do you guys know of any guides for slimming down XP? It needs to beable to have full access to the internet and be functional for web browsing and playing movies. Everything else can go.

I saw the lifehackers guide, But that didn't really help since it didn't list what i can and can't remove.

I've been working on my current one, But it keeps popping up with access restriction errors.

you can try my build, I have used for like 5 years. It trims xp down to 250MB tho it has 2 problems. I also kept Support for certain languages, cuz Im multilanguage user. so if ur just using english you can strip it even below 100MB or so.

1 problem is that it wont let you install net framework 4 (3,5 has no issues)

2 prob is u cant install steam client (use portable steam)

Games, videos, smart cards, lan & rest i need, I never had any problems with it.

Edit if you are autoit user, Hire is the code I made you can use to fast apply my config:

Usage, run the script & msbox pops out & tells you what to do.:

if you never used autoit, download autoit, install, then DL SciTe script editor, install , Double click au3 file, then Press F5

Autoit scripts for nlite.rar
