I've used Firefox exclusively since it was 1.5 beta something, but with only Adblock Plus and NoScript. I also purchased Windows 7 Pro yesterday, so the weekend should be fun. I've never been rabidly pro-Firefox, but sometimes I can sound like an anti-IE zealot. If Microsoft actually has done it right this time I might change my tune.

cluberti - Thank you, that sounds like just what I was looking for. MagicAndre1981 - Maybe I'm being overly suspicious, but in my memory Windows in general and IE in specific are a security nightmare. A significant amount of malware is designed to use either IE or to use functions or features that are a part of IE. When other people can sometimes be using my computer I would prefer that IE not be able to run at all. I am aware that this attitude is emotional as well as rational, and if it starts to swing further over to the emotional side I don't have any problem with that at all.

I do not have Windows 7 yet, am looking at the Pro version, x64 Every nLited XP I make has Internet Explorer removed because I like Firefox and because IE is a breeding ground for malware. The Optimization Guide is telling me that IE can not be removed. Since I do not have Windows 7 yet I have not taken the time to look much deeper. The question I have is that if I have to create an install CD that includes IE, is there a secure and hopefully simple way to remove IE manually?

--> Only integrate SP3 and burn ISO, nothing more. Thank you, that is what I will do. As far as the other folders go, my past habits is to put useful things in VALUE_ADD folder and kill the rest. Microsoft and I have differing ideas regarding "Value".

I think that I know the answer to this, but I'd rather ask and look like an id*** instead of assuming I'm right (and remove all doubt) I would like to take an XP source CD, remove keyboard and language, then integrate SP3, Xable's SP3 Update Pack, and drivers, then do NOTHING else. If I were to make an ISO with these changes, would it be suitable as source material for more complex nLite runs? Or do I have to start with fresh source material every time?

I tried to edit my post yesterday, site was down for maintenance. I found it over at WinCert in the SVCPack sub forum. It's Zortam mp3 Media Studio. I don't know if it will be suitable, the description mentions the iPod a bit too often. But it's more than just a tag editor and less than media monkey, so it could be what I want.

Thanks for your response. No, it wasn't one of those. The one that I remember seeing looked like it may have had more features than just a plain tag editor, but less than media monkey. That's why I want to find it. I want more than a tag editor, but less than commercial software. And media monkey is basically commercial software lite.

First off: Yes, I'm an id***. Freely admitted. A few days ago I saw an addon for a freeware MP3 tag editor. Evidence of idiocy: I don't remember what it was called, or where I saw it, or what it could do other than edit tags. I have looked here, and on WinAddons, and on WinCert. No luck. If anybody here could just remind me of the name of the blasted thing, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
