I guess the limit is placed for a reason.
To prevent usage of WinPE as a day-to-day OS.

There's some web-pages that claim to have gotten round the limit. But I prefer using bartPE which doesn't have those limitations.

there is a plug-in for bartPE which does something (I don't know what) to remove the limitation! :D
(take a look at the plugins available for the builder at support sites)


If you want, you can take a look at the INF that the plugin gives, and do the same registry modification to your WinPE.

As stated above the 24hr time limit is used by Microsoft to eliminate the use of it as a everyday OS. In my experience with PE I have never had to have the disc run for more than 24hours in a recovery situation. Now the 6 process limit is another issue, this was addressed in WinPE 2004(1.5) {and the Longhorn PE builds} with the addition of Winpeshl.exe and the answer file WinpeShl.ini this in itself was worth another 3 or 30 pack to me. And as for the 24hour time limit, removal is illegal if I am not mistaken.
