I have been looking at nLite for some time, and I finally decided to jump on the train and enjoy the ride. I bought a couple extra Barracudas a while ago, and I'm going to switch to my current single barracuda over to Raid 0. My hard Drive came within 60mb of empty space yesterday, so I'm rushing to get this done.
Apart from this being a very boring story, I would like to know if any of you have used nLite before. Since my system is pretty high performance, I think I will just remove some of the basic shiz like extra drivers, languages, programs I don't use and such. Also my current install disk is SP1, so I'm going to slipstream everything. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Do you think I should remove IE? I want to maintain full functionality. Also should I install everything in Windows update? When I do a fresh install I always check optional, recommended and hardware updates. But now that I'm stripping Windows down I'm curious about what I should keep. Any thoughts?
This is brand new ground for me, and I'd like to go in fully prepared. I hear some people start having problems 3 months down the road. So anything you can tell me will be helpful.

I use nLite all the time for volume license installs and slipstreaming.
Personally, I'd leave IE installed, if only for the functionality of windows updates, hotmail (if you use it), etc.
When you run IE Tabs in firefox, or any other extension, it actually uses IE inside of Firefox. You wouldn't have that functionality if you didn't install IE.
nLite is good. I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow.
Bye bye.

Have fun Jake. You'll have to tell me where you went. I spent a couple weeks in Kauai not long back.

I've used it before and it's great. Just don't remove anything you might need. Keep IE. As much as it may be hated for browsing, it's a part of the OS. A lot of things use it. Steam uses it for one.

Actually IE is an integral part of the Windows Core, thus why all the security issues are rapidly patched. If you removed IE... well lets just say you wouldn't have a very stable (if even running) XP |

Not true at all sir. Many people have removed IE and they run completely stable. If you remove the display dlls that IE uses to render web pages, windows will become unstable. But removing IE and the security threat it represents will not. Plus you will gain 20mb of memory back and some CPU power. The only thing you will lose is IE only web pages, like Windows Update. However there are third party update sites that work just as good. And you evidently lose the functionality of some Firefox addons.

I think I'm going to remove IE from me next install and see how it goes. After this article explains how easy it is to get WU elsewhere. I'll report back on how well steam runs. |
