Notepad.exe as it has no dependencies. I have seen a thread/topic asking for you to remove it from xp using nlite. Your reply was if enougth people ask for it then you would.

My opinion,

I do use it but i reckon that it would be nice if people still had the option to remove it. (no offence of course). Maybe if you do a new release of nlite you could do it as well.

The other suggestions i have:
More flexibility on grouped components. ie games wallpapers etc.
Of course i wouldn't expect you to list each wallpaper as it would take ages etc but maybe break it up like eg widescreen, textures etc just like when you change the wallpaper in vista.

Thanks nuhi another great job by you.

PS.nuhi the first beta version of my program comes out in febuary i would like/be honoured you to test it - of course.

the vital problem for me is whql-checking of the integrated drivers. the system during its installation always says it can't check the drivers' signatures, though i know for sure, that all of them are whql-signed. can this checking be disabled? i really need this tweak. thanks in advance.

How about a "Legacy Filesystem Junctions" option that removes the 'Documents and Settings' etc junctions meant for backwards compatibility. No matter what I do I can't remove them mounting with imagex.

I just don't use programs that require such accommodations.

May i suggest more extremal cutting?
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS contains tons of sensitive information which is nice to be removed
- .NET frameworks
- More boot.wim cleanup (there are tons of system/install files not needed for clean install)
- Along minor surgery: CardSpace, Digital Locker, Windows Update / BITS / other services, Windows Anytime Upgrade, Guided help, XWizards?
- Get rid of TrustedInstaller at all?

Some preloaded presets would be kinda cool. Say for instance one wanted to make a Vista box that was only for Media Center. A prefab preset that had only the stuff needed for media center would be cool.

Its been said before (by Jeronimo, Joh L. Galt and Nerd Lite... etc) but I'll add it again because it would be really nice:
An option to move the entire Users folder to another dir or drive (including correctly updating junctions etc included in this folder).
Cheers, and thanks for vLite.

here is suggestion nuhi, since some ( not mentioning any names here :whistle: ) have trouble applying changes and rebuilding after you go through all the menus why not make it more automatic so people who have trouble with that phase will not have that trouble :)

maybe add ability to sort the categories of the comp.s to something like

Safe to Remove
Recommend to leave
Functionality/
internet
media
update

something like that
will be good to newbie users :)
and make the user fast choosing each time
like build-in present file without have to build it



added in 2.5.2008

able to copy just one image from install.wim [ could save time of copying or/and to vlite progress ]

Oh, instead of 1MB of Paint you have 10MB of Paint.NET and 400MB of .NET Frameworks? Perfect reasoning.

ok one more idea

An option to remove more files, using relative paths. For example, this option to be located in the Components section I could specify to remove files like so:

\Windows\system32\command.com
\Windows\system\winspool.drv

I'd think it to be better if it is specific like that. I edit the image after vliting to remove 16-bit support. There are two winspool.drv files, \Windows\system\winspool.drv and \Windows\system32\winspool.drv, and as far as I know the one in system32 needs to remain while the one in system can be safely deleted. I remove 100 or so files as part of NTVDM and editing the image afterwards just makes the image grow.

Games
Remove individual games or atleast Inkball lol

Misc
Keybord Layouts - Theres tons of them lol, dunno where the keyboarrd layout folder is though
Uncommon Fonts Removal

Services
Application Layer Gateway Service
Aplication Management
Protected Storage
Windows Event Collector
Windows Event Log
Windows CardSpace
Windows Management Instrumentation
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service
Windows Update and Everything related (cryptographics services, BITS, etc...) useful for WinSXS removal.

Tweaks
Hide Desktop Shortcut Arrow
Start Menu Customization Tweaks
Choose Services state like on nlite tweak section.
Visual effects tweaks

[u]vLite

Update how much space a specific component uses because the newer components dont have the size of them above the descriptions.

Updating Last session.ini's to XML so you can use the "+" and "-" to hide things you dont need to see i.e. Languages, keyboard layouts and each seperate catagory.
