You mean activate, because registration is optional.
The program lets you leave the IE Core (mshtml.dll and the couple others). It can remove just the IE UI wrapper (What most people call Internet Explorer) if you want. It'll also remove IE Core if you want it to, but you shouldn't unless you have Corporate, because Activation won't work as you said. |

Er, you probably shouldn't remove IE. At least leave mshtml.dll. A lot of programs won't work without it. The file's missing on mine, and I can't even register Windoze until I reinstall it. |

This is from \WINNT\system32\oeminfo.ini ("Support Information" in System Properties). Remember, you can choose to keep any of them... And this is the Lite one. You could also probably shave a few more megabytes off (removing Internet Explorer, International Language Support, etc).

What kinds of things does it remove? I plan to format/reinstall sometime relatively soon (might get a new HD first) and this would be good to have. |

Mine takes up 2,80 GB's. I swear half of it must be junk/unused files. Not like I have shortage on space but...
I do wonder what kind of things this thing would strip out, it prolly takes something out that I use on everday basis. So... anything you miss with it?
I wouldn't do this thought. |

oh dang...XP Pro installation that takes up only .5GB, I should try that since I've allotted 4GB for my XP installation when I used to use only 2GB...
now, I need to find a guinea HD to try this on... |

Yes, it's possible. And no, it's not difficult. It also doesn't take much functionality of Windows at all, .
Here's a screenshot:
How did I do it? The answer is in that shot itself... nLite. Similar to 2000lite and XPlite, nLite removes components that you may find unneccessary. The difference lies in how the components are removed...
2000/XPlite remove components from existing Windows installations. This is great if you don't feel like reinstalling. (This is also different from the other product of the same company, 98lite. Which allows you to install 98/Me without components). 2000/XPlite can leave a lot of clutter on your disk, though. It also does not work with Windows 2003 (as far as I know).
nLite requires that you have a Windows 2000/XP/2003 CD. You can copy all (not just i386) the files to a hard disk directory. Or you could just specify the CD-ROM location (usually D:, E:, etc). When you run nLite, you can choose several options... integrating service packs (I integrated SP1a to my WinXP Pro disc (which was SP0)) and hotfixes is one (allows for an updated system right from install). You also can choose what components to install, and what not. There are preconfigured settings in the program. For example, you can have everything that is not required to not be installed (I wouldn't recommend it if you count on international languages, or Internet Explorer); another option is "Safe". It removes very little, such as Help; the option I used was "Lite" which gets rid of most of the junk (I did that without changing the ones set in). With it, you can also set up an unattended configuration, so you don't need an existing DOS/Windows machine to do that. You follow through the program until it gets to the point that it is ready to compile a bootable CD-ROM based on your new install configuration. It does not burn the disc for you. You have to do that yourself. Instead, nLite makes a ready-to-burn ISO image of Win2000/XP/2003 based on your customisations.
The other major difference between the two Windows-shavers is this: Price. LitePC sells 2000/XP lite for $40. nLite costs $0.
anyway.. that was my rant on nLite. I enjoyed the software, even though I am still working out a 2000/XP config I like the most. |
