Guess they should be enumerable from some source on the image, haven't got a multi language disk here, but I'll try when I get back tomorrow. For a start: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff715564%28WS.10%29.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744369%28WS.10%29.aspx

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

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>

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).

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).

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.

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

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!!!!!!

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.

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?

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
