Included is a pic of WPI in window form.

This makes it minimzable, maximizable and resizeable. IMHO it looks nicer.

i like it then i dont like it, i like the full screen variable and that can be easily changed in the hta it self,,, but then it all boils down to uswer preference, me personally, if you go with that min and max and close buttons at the top that really defeats the whole purpose of having the exit command in the script,, what i think you should do is simply write a variable entry in the site informing users that they have the options to do this and tell them what variables they can change to do this,,, it is actually a very easy thing to do,

i think you should keep it the way it is and just give the users choice of what they want and if they want it that way,, show them the variables that they can change and let it roll from there

these are the basics of the variables one can change with in the hta and thats always at the top it shows how to use the hta

  NAVIGABLE = "yes"
  CONTEXTMENU = "no"

like i said before i think the best way is leave it like is and give the user choice by informing them of what they can and cant do,, so i suggest adding a small tut in te site for this

well thats my 2 cents :)

Hmm, well..I kinda like it to look as much XP as possible so the transition between setup, logon, WPI is as smooth as possible if you know what I mean.
The resizable and border adds sorta takes it a step away from that for me.

Just my .5 cents worth.. :)

Yeah, I'm for keeping it "as-is" so that it better blends with the windowless Windows XP install process.
