Yeah, UAC is removable, but I leave it, cos I heard it protects against rootkit installation. I just tweak UAC to elevate without prompting 
Just curious did you remove the Winsxs folder I have been searching about this folder (Minor problem) and from what I have read it appears it is Hardlinked in Vista.
Dennis
Yes - I removed WinSxS. Well a bigger part of it I lost Windows updates in the process, but who needs them anyway if you can just integrate them
Commodus, aren’t you able to manually install updates by downloading them from TechNet Security Center?
Nope, I think manual install won’t work. At least Nuhi says so ;D
I can upload my WinSxS folder for you. At least there’s a chance it might work, even though mine is XP ;D
!ot! sorta… still involves this thread soemwhat. MaximumPC (a well known computer magazine) Recommends using Nlite so it can’t see why they would suggest it if it is illegal. :-TU !ot!
Slight difference in size. ;D
XP a few MB’s Vista approx size 6GB can go to 10GB depends on how many duplicate files.
Another reason why you would not like Vista.
Dennis
That’s why I removed WinSxS backups and stuff. ;D Now it’s 543 MB (still larger than Soya’s and L.A.'s or Rags Windows XP’s combined ;D)
Don’t count Soya in, he’s not even in the competition with me and Rag. “Balance”… (:TNG)
LA
I’ve had enough of this silliness.
Now which partition should I remove :THNK
Hello xLite maniacs ;D Commodus is back with a new Vista SP1 Ultimate ISO whitch is 343 MB in size. Windows directory now is 724 MB 8)
Anyone for an Olympic race ? nLiters are not allowed ;D
Here’s something to chomp that number down.
Is that Ganda talking ? ;D
LOL; I like the last thing he says, “I’m proud of it”.
After my next reinstallation of Windows I’ll try to keep as much as possible, to see if I find anything that I currently miss. 88) But it’s not easy, I’m heavy on the Del key. It’s the best thing I know. The best PC keyboard button.
LA
You might want to clarify that statement. Depending on your answer…it could be seen as !ot!
:-X
LA
Well guys… I made progress ;D I disabled SFC via regedit change it from 0 to 1 etc it is now disabled and I have finally killed off a useless 150 MB I am nowhere near done though. I am still trying to kill off a couple of the 6 svchost.exes I have but not having much luck with them 88)
6? I have 2… 88). You’ll need to disable all those COM related services that Microsoft and other source stress how “important” they are to the stability of your XP system >:-D
I thought that after the compilation of LA, this topic would just fade out. But it seems that it just keeps living ;D.
Commodus, I’m sure I can kick out more then you do, but then…
