TinyXP was made with Nlite. Here's the Last Session.ini I remember trying it with my cabinet but no go. But I forgot what was wrong with it.

TOK:
For anyone using this... How much of a difference in boot speed/performance do you see vs. a standard copy of XP with the unnecessary Services turned off? Shutting everything off in standard XP, I get into the front end in about 26 seconds w/2ghz P4 with 512 meg of RAM.
I'm only concerned with speed, I don't care about the install size.

Thanks guys! I can't believe I didn't get one single flame for that request. You guys rock.

So, do you guys have your cab working with TinyXP/nLite? The funny thing is I was wondering if anyone had done any work to identify the unnecessary components of XP and removed them. I must be living right because you guys showed up and introduced me to something I'd never heard of.

I'm not real concerned about the drive space consumed by the installation, but I *really* hate having a bunch of junk loaded that will never get used.

I have an HTPC with a slimmER version of XP (left a lot of stuff in there due to program dependencies). I can boot to the "Front End" in 16 seconds. 2200 AMD with 1 gig of ram.

This was done with an earlier version of nLite, and looking through the list, there's more stuff I'd rip out and a few other services I'd remove entirely, so I'm betting I could get it down a few seconds, but not sure how much.

FWIW, this is often done with car-puters, and those guys seem to be ONLY focused on boot time, because they all seem to talk about 300-400 meg .iso's (XP Pro SP2 with Hotfixes thru September come in around 640 megs for comparison). www.mp3.com will have guys telling you about 10 seconds or less for boot times, but I have no idea what they've done to get it to boot that quick. I just know there are other programs like nLite they speak about there to trim XP down, and they're looking to achieve the goal you're referring to.

Got an HTPC and my kid's terminal on my network running an nLite'd version of XP. I ripped out quite a lot on the kid's PC and it runs pretty decent on an old 400mhz beater I had. I was looking at doing this to use another beater to run a jukebox program that was only supported with XP. I've since given up on that jukebox program, but check out nLite (infrequently) to see what's new.

Crap I hate having on there, or prefer to use another program instead:

Briefcase
Calculator
Internet Games
Games
Defragmenter (use a better standalone program if I need it)
NT Backup (use a better standalone)
Paint (Photoshop, if needed)
Wordpad (use Notepad++ instead)

I also prefer to take out as many drivers and hardware support as I can for stuff I won't/don't have, and all the excess keyboard setups and languages I'll never use. Everything else is a personal decision, I think, and you can really tailor this to your needs, wants & desires.
