ok hi

hehe i have finally managed to get 148mb iso winxp. few processe running like 18 but i want to decrease that to 14 or lower hopefully. and using less ram also. I don't have any network etc on my computer as my computer is the only thing at home but i have dial up internet (sucks i know) so i can't really take whole lot of things. i use encarta 2007 money 2007 etc... which all work fine. was wondering what other items are safe for removeable? Network, operating system and services... one other thing is can i remove windows update because i surely don't use it. i perfer to use autopatcher... any help would be nice. (iam trying to get to TiNy version of xp which he runs nothing except the only things needed, hes even remove networking but i don't know which ones are needed for dial up internet).

Maybe you guys can share you lastseasion.ini file with me so i can compare it to mine and other then i know which ones are ok for removable.

keep things that sound like dial up

ex: if u have optical fibre u may not need dial up

what u can remove depends on what u do with your computer and what software u use and not only that
=> and such advise should be motivated and expained

[OuTmAn]

you're using some big Microsoft software (Encarta, et cetera) so I think you really should keep IE core and also IE, at least

if you're looking for a smart running Windows, be especially careful to services that are running. it's the most noticeable part, from far.

for the whole remaining stuff that's not running every time with Windows, I suggest you not to remove ALL that don't serve you at this time.
you could upgrade hardware, change network configuration, met a friend who'll want to connect his laptop... or simply try new software that will bug because you removed some needed component...

so stay careful


ah, and are you sure that you want to remove that CRACK folder?
