Tweaked Windows XP

[Phunky]

I've been using the TinyXP Series of Windows XP for quite some time, its a nice release with quite a lot of the crap taken out.

What other tweaked versions have you used or know of?

I just checked out TinyXP and ouch it's a bit restrictive. You cant even install MS Office :s

On XP I used Nlite to strip out the unwanted crap. Made things a lot quicker, and I could still install Office

Yeh, thats the whole point of TinyXP they remove EVERYTHING

TinyXP "666" beast edition has the most elements removed, i've been wanting to make my own one for a while but im just to darn lazy.

Out of interest, when I stripped IE from XP, The motd when joining CS:S servers used to minimise the game. Does it do this for you?

That's all I use tbh also use it to slipstream all the newest updates into the disk at the same time.

My current disk has IE removed & Windows Update removed & Windows Security Suite Removed & Windows Firewall Removed

Mine does that at times. Altho I think it seems to do it with welcome screens that contain ActiveX. I also get an ActiveX error on the OC3D servers, as I have it disabled for security.

It does it on servers that have HTML in the MOTD, should be a CVAR to disable viewing the MOTD tbh :/

I think that might be down to the redirection code in the motd. Its the only way to get it to display external sites
