[Removing Components Requests [Merged]]

Remove:

- Wallpapers (Windows\Web\Wallpaper)

- Themes (Windows\Resources\Themes)

- Screensavers (Windows\System32\*.scr)

- Gadgets (Windows Sidebar\Gadgets)

- Sample music (Users\Public\Music\Sample Music)

EDIT:

Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-bubbles_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_ca7337e2e3a2a824\Bubbles.scr

And a few others are created aswel, I know winsxs shouldn't be tampered with, but keeping screensavers in a install seems a bit overkill

[Unattended Additions***]

Just to confirm...

<SkipAutoActivation>true</SkipAutoActivation>

That skips asking for key?

P.S. Don't worry about double posting, if i see double posting i usually just merge.

As long as the demo key is correct, I don't know whether the following is needed, but I guess it couldn't hurt either.

<ProductKey>

<Key>AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA</Key>

<WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI>

</ProductKey>

[Windows 7 Toolkit v1.3.0 ALPHA]

Yeah i keep hearing about RT7Lite that i's bloated, slow, dead and buggy lol. There has been times when W7T is buggy

Buggy shouldn't be a problem if there are patches, but RT7Lite keeps promising a great new version, which by now is multiple months overdue (a shame if you ask me for non-tech-savy people it was a simple usable tool).

If the next version can create a better unattended (just confirmed autounattended.xml see my other post) & more removal it beats RT7lite in all fields (have been using it for a long time).

[Windows 7 Toolkit v1.3.0 ALPHA]

VirtualBox has finished and it worked and patched files with no issues. It may be related to RT7Lite, personally i have never really used it.

I'll build a new image soon, all these patches take some time (I guess RT7Lite shouldn't be used, the project appears dead and has some major flaws).

[Unattended Additions***]

i will try and move to the correct topic. I have a topic dedicated for removal stuff

My bad, was just adding stuff from the top of my head without reading to much, don't rush it good releases are better than broken ones.

[Unattended Additions***]

Some of those are already available, by the way would you know how to make it skip the product key screen completely? Thanks.

Seriously... when i start the removal request stuff for 1.4.0 i will be adding as much as possible. Although i bet someone will request WinSXS which i think is impossible

I attached my unattended xml, this one skips the user AND key activation, just drops to a unactivated administrator desktop (confirmed).

Autounattend.xml

[Tweaks [Completed]]

Some tweaks to get the taskbar more xp like:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarSmallIcons --> 1 for small

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarGlomLevel --> 00000002 for never combine

There are some more settings there to :albert:

Thanks for the hard work!!!!!!

[Windows 7 Toolkit v1.3.0 ALPHA]

What do you mean?

Are there tweaks for "use small icons in the taskbar" & "never combine icons in the taskbar" (if I missed those I am getting blind):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarSmallIcons --> 1 for small

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarGlomLevel --> 00000002 for never combine

edit: Legolash2o, Done, thanks for the effort.

[Windows 7 Toolkit v1.3.0 ALPHA]

I'm checking this now.

RT7Lite is a completely different program and created by a different person.

I used RT7lite to remove the screensavers etc, I shall skip that step and retry (complete clean image, could take a while).

Did I miss the settings for TaskbarSmallIcons & never combine?

[Windows 7 Toolkit v1.3.0 ALPHA]

I get "Universal Theme Patcher" - "Please right click this program and run as administrator" dialog during "Completing installation"

RT7LitePILaunch.exe and mscorsvw.exe seem to take 100% cpu usage and the desktop doesn't show after 15min. (after killing explorer.exe and restarting it I get "personalized settings" and a desktop.

Often listed as a way to “increase the file system memory cache size”.

Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

Change the following value from 0 to 2: NtfsMemoryUsage=2
