i cant imagine - i dont know. i did many XP builds by myself - no sence in removing parts of the OS. - just turn off them (stop services, remove from autoload). u destroy any things u dont need right now, or just put them in closet in real life? haa-ha. i assume man as noob as i see he is not enough smart to do serious changes, that he could not revert later. p.s. many OS builds (xp,7) are from noobies in internet - some ppl download them and having unpredictable complex problems, which cannot be fixed or hardly fixed (easier to reinstall OS in 95% cases).
