using this substitution my internet connection went down. Well, from the start.
1. The kernel manipulation is only one part and THE ABSOLUTELY LAST part of the big tweak that is coming. It is exactly this and one more thing that remain unstable.
2. You can use another kernel. Mine is named neptune.exe, it's a w2k kernel from a no sp version of w2kxp pro. To use it one has to copy it into system32 folder, reshack it and rename, next open your boot ini and type /KERNEL=neptune.exe (or whatever name). It will substitute ntoskrnl.exe for ntldr - the small os loader program which sits in the root directory, e.g. C:\
This substitution is possible as a permanent one and even allows you to completely remove the file ntoskrnl.exe, it will even produce2 entries in the registry system hive. Smth funny, like JustWorking neptune.exe and modify the registry entry cotrolset001-control
However, THERE IS NO NEED TO DO IT. This substitution was made obsolete soon after Grant expressed his interest. Matter is, there is another kernel file, that we don't pay attention to - ntkrnlpa.exe - it's a kernel, that's loaded into memory but not used unless you have specify it with /3GB switch in boot ini and /pae setting. Now whenever we restart our cmp machines, BOTH kernels are in memory, though one is passive. I have made countless takes on deleting the second kernel - the result IS GREAT, but it will kill the machine on the next start up with BLACK screen of death. Problem is that w2k kernel is insufficient alone. while xp ntoskernl.exe IS SUFFICIENT. Moreover, it sounds better alone than a lighter w2k kernel+ mtkrnlpa.exe. So the best thing to do is AFTER ALL THE TWEAKING AND WITHOUT EXPLORER to add /nopae and /mimint to your boot ini and then remove ntkrnlpa.exe. This leaves us with our native xp kernel ALONE. It doesn't only sits well in its own place it is self sufficient and sings better that w2k+ntkrnlpa, due to its better memory-cpu routine. The substitute w2k kernek is lighter and it ALONE sings smoother, but it is a little bit dull in the highs. The native eats more memory, but is vivid without harshness and more dynamic. So, thanks to Grant for his interest and sorry for this late warning. So, kernel is a component itself.

P.S. If You managed to roast your registry with this substitution, you only have to replace it, delete all logs, recopy all native kernel files from installation disks (as there is a timestamp on them) and reboot.
Follow Ups:
and it was no big deal to get rid of it.
Has not been on my list of files for a long time.
I thought this was part of the standard deletions though I have not gone back to see.
Had no problems deleting it.
Maybe this is why I have been so pleased with the sound I am hearing?
I have not renamed ntoskrnl so maybe that is why I have not seen anything like what you wrote in my registry.
deleted it and are living good with native kernel, better don't attempt to substitute. It may work for as long as the system is on. Once you reboot, you get a black, not blue screen and it will ask you to replace the wrong kernel. As for the shell, try first to substitute common controls+ common dialogs + shell lightweightapi. Don' remember their names correctly, and after that - the big shell.

I have tried in every way (which I thought I had already told you) to insert that, even going back to the original installation to see if it would be accepted then.
I am starting to think since it seems impossible, to not worry about it.
Maybe some new inspiration will strike and I will see a way.
Waiting, impatiently, to see the new regimen.
Unlike Ted I do not say take your time! Let us try and see what happens.
according to your method and hives. default is like yours 16 kb, sowtware - only 80, but mine is different than yours because of lynx. With system, I was doing and laughing - there are man even madder than me (in the best sense of the word). Really, what You deleted, I would never even dare to touch... I deleted everything and compacted. Was happy, as my windows folder with unhacked yet fonts and system became only 19,6 mb in size - it is just as I hoped for. Unfortunately, it didn't boot - got a bsod, but I think I know why - ennums and especially acpi devices. Looks like I managed to delete a coprocessor or motherboard - I was in a hurry. Will try to this weekend. As for the big one, You and others already know part of it - it's file substitutions from w2k and xphome, yes, also from xp home. The list of files and THE ORDER of things will be posted.
Serge.
and nothing happens.
I kept getting confused with one of those things - kept deleting it!
Thanks to SNAPSHOT I was able to recover. I find nothing wrong with re-writing a previous "version" - are you saying you do?
With the H55 board I was able to get rid of everything ROOT everywhere.
ENUM was down to nothing except the ROOT entry - all "beneath" it was gone.
The H61 board for some reason will not allow as large a deletion.
I hope I sent you the H55 version - did it say GRANT in the title? If it did that was the H55 version.
I made MANY deletions one at a time. Got lots of exercise going up and downstairs to the other computer.
Now to look at your post.
