Hi alan_fox, While making the 7z archive using the 7zip GUI, I would strongly recommend you to make the archive with the following settings: Compression Level: UltraWord size: 273Solid Block Size: SolidParameters: mt=on f=BCJ2 hc=on d=27This compresses even more, from 56MB (your repack's 7z archive) to 40MB (applied & tested with the above given settings). Saves 16MB. Cheers & Regards

Already planned and sorta implemented

Hey guys I figured with as much head bashing as I've done in the past few days I may as well try to document this at the very least for myself and hopefully it will be useful to someone else when they start. I know that as you learn new things it can sometimes be difficult to remember exactly how your mind looked at things before you understood them so I want to get started before I'm too far disconnected from where I started. As always I would appreciate advice. Goals: 1 ) Integrate a ) Windows Updates b ) Drivers c ) Software - Adobe Air, Flash, etc. (McRipSF) d ) Programs/Apps/Games 2 ) Remove things I don't use, want or need - ideally trimmed as much as possible for me, realistically stability > size and then refine as I go 3 ) Basic Tweaks - start menu programs folder organizing, what appears in start menu, taskbar pinned programs, sys tray notifications, taskbar thumbnail preview hover time, assign directories to general libraries such as music, pictures, video etc. 4 ) Cosmetic Customization - Themes, custom theme, Rainmeter, advanced tweaks This is slightly modified from the first thread I started and I should mention that part of the reason for starting this thread is to not clutter the first with information that is not related and to not bother compstuff's integration thread with my problems. I will reserve the first few posts so that I can segment these accordingly and just update them so the useful information is easy to find and I'll let the rest of the posts just follow along as I go.

Integration - Windows Updates
