This is a great project.

Consider using an alternative shell such as bblean;

Can't wait to try this.

Aegis, first of all -- this is a great idea.

Secondly, I was wondering how exactly can I do this? Using nLite? I read your first post but I really don't understand how you plan to reduce Windows to that size. Is this a post-installation thing or is it done on a source share and burned to a CD?

Thanks for your work.

Have you even bothered to read the entire thread? Aegis has made a batch file for this and posted it here.

SEARCH!!!
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I read the entire thread and I have the batch file. I just don't know how/when to use it. That's why I posted asking questions. How do I use it? Do I use it in RunOnceEx after doing nLite or something? And what do I remove with nLite? Everything?

Same here. Your not alone.

Good. I felt pretty dumb after reading the thread and still not knowing what the heck is going on.

I guess you have to run this on an original Windows XP CD

Maybe Aegis will be back later to give us more info.

i'm just curious, how am I supposed to apply the reg file to a windows not booted yet

this batch file makes me a new system32 folder
so i figured i could make a copy of the rest of the needed stuff
and boot to a new folder/windows with this edited system32 folder
well thing is, without applying the reg tweak, i cannot boot this new windows without lots of errors
if i apply this reg tweak to a windows, that has the logon screen, without changing the system32 folder, it doesn't boot for me anymore

This is interesting but needs some more explaining.

..or skills.

[slippykillsticks]

What if we added the regs by putting them in HIVEDEF.INF, for instance:

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","ReportBootOk",0x00020000,"0"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","Shell",0x00020000,""
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","VmApplet",0x00020000,""
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","cachedlogonscount",0x00020000,"0"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","forceunlocklogon",0x00010001,1
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","LogonType",0x00010001,1
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","Background",0x00020000,"58 110 165"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon","SFCDisable",0x00010001,ffffff9d
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability","ShutdownDoStateSnapshot",0x00010001,0

slippykillsticks, this doesn't have anything to do with nLite, it's a separate project. This is where I stop because still haven't tried it.

I didn't know, I apologize. Thank you for clearing that up for me. BTW I am an avid nLite fan. Can't wait til the next release.

There are actually two ways to install this. One is to apply this to your current version of Windows, but there are some files you may not be able to delete. THe other is to install another Windows XP OS, boot from the old OS, and copy the system32\config and system32\drivers folder after using the batch file. THen you can delete the new OS. BTW I'll simplify this process as soon as I find a suitable installer.

Sorry Aegie but I am still pretty confused and lost. I am trying.

Found an installer program! Hoping to finish package today.

EDIT: Never knew making an installer would be this hard .

Are you using Inno Setup by chance? I have some experience with it if you need any help.

[likwit]

So I use this on a new nLited Windows XP installation and make a system32 folder with only the files copied by required.bat and the drivers and config folders remaining?

That's about it . Although you don't need nLite to do this.
