I recently got a Netbook with a 16gb solid state drive. It came with WinXP and as space on the drive is a minimum, I want to remove some of the Microsoft "fluff" that I would not use:
Microsoft Synchronize (Start->Programs->Accessories->Synchronize)<br />
Windows Live Messanger<br />
Movie Maker<br />
Windows Live (a suite of things I could care less about)<br />
Games (will never play)<br />
Windows Media Player (will use QuickTime for mostly MP4 and audio files)<br />
Tour Windows XP (can this be removed?)<br />
I have been researching a lot of these, but am really stuck on "Microsoft Synchronize".
Also, if there is a better way to go about getting a very small WinXP footprint, I'm open to advisement.
Thank you very much!

Windows media player might be good to keep, but the tour you can remove (IIRC). And the windows help files can be removed too. Maybe you should try out nLite?

Actually by using non MS software - you'll end up with same amount of free space.
Why not use this main SSD for System + additional software and generic 8GB/16GB/32GB USB stick for data?
This could be the case.
I have very old Dell Latitude C600 (PIII 1GHz + 256MB RAM) as browsing and book reading device for my wife - and she use network or USB stick to put additional data (even on USB 1.1).

Want to be happy - do what you like!

for the most part, i plan on going the route of your suggestion - additional apps, storage on removeable sticks/cards. I want to test if ok to run Google Earth from removeable card + save its image cache on the same card.
I also watch/download videos and curious if saving/writing to same card will pose a problem in playback of videos (MP4s, avg 4-6mb).
Only can try and see what happens.
My system specs:
ASUS 1gb RAM,16gb SSD running WinXP
900mhz celeron
refribished system running great

how to put password in mysql datbase. please mail me
|
|

How can I add picture that will pop up whenever an incorrect password is entered on my computer?
|
|
|
|
|
You're going to have to explain what you mean by "whenever an incorrect password is entered on my computer". There is no global event that fires every time a bad password is entered in any login window.

I think he means: If someone enters the wrong password trying to log into my Windows installation.
That kind of stuff would be handled by the GINA, right? So, he got to write a GINA.dll replacement, if I am not mistaken.
I think he might have watched Jurassic Park in school...

Dave,
For example whenever I enter an incorrect password on my computer at login the following message appears "The supplied credentials were invalid. Please try again or contact your system administrator for help". How can I change this? I would want say a picture of me to pop up and say wrong password or some other form of animation of my choosing. Is this possible?
|
|

|

Sure. You just have to write a completely new GINA for XP and below. For Vista and above, this means writing a new Credential Provider. Either of which you can only write in Visual C++, or equivilent.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you could use something like reshacker to modify GINA, msgina.dll. You can't put an image in the incorrect password message as it is created by MessageBox(), but you could edit the text for incorrect password... Also you can modify the windows XP banner above login fields, but not sure if thats the same DLL, or another one...

Hi, does anyone know any tools that we could convert .exe file to .msi file in order to deploy this application through the group policy?
Thank in advance!!!

You should look up the MSI file structure on the web. MSI is nothing but a "package" for the Windows installer. I've seen a freeware called "MSI Creator" which supposedly can create MSI packages.

It's impossible to convert an .EXE to an .MSI. An .MSI can be written to install an .EXE, and many other things. An .MSI is nothing but a database file used by Windows Installer, complete with various tables, records, keys, blob streams, ...

Hello
Try convert your program or binary .EXe using in innosetup
<a href="http://www.innosetup.com/isinfo.php">
I like this tool, but need create script for
compilation. After first package is very easy : )
|
|

You shoujld be replying the the original poster, not me.
And InnoSetup will not "convert" an .EXE into an .MSI. It will package the .EXE so the .EXE can be installed, but it will not convert a, say, Setup.EXE based setup to an .MSI for you.

It isn't more dangerous than anything else. It can, however, be a nuisance. Make one mistake and you send your message to a whole group or the entire company. I've seen it happen a few times, but usually only once
I wouldn't disable it, but not advertise it's status either.
Cheers,
Sebastian

You have Everyone Set under Share permissions, what do you have for NTFS permissions on the folder?
|
|
|
|
|
Much depends on your desktop, if you're connected to a network with Microsoft AD, is not access, even using alternative command or trying to change ACLS.
Describe the situation
