in all files, even the entries with all of the numbers. I only left untouched entries in the following:
advapi.dll - RCDATA - 102 as I don't know what is this mumbo-jumbo
user32.dll -Cursor - 52-1033 and 54-1033 and cursor group - 100-1033 and 102-1033
winsrv.dll - FONTDIR-1033 and fonts 1001-1033 1002-1033
BTW ks.sys is 137 kb.
See the pic of all system32 folder with all files hacked and their corresponding sizes. Take care to hack win32k correctly. Also on the pic expanded completely. (top right.

I am not hiding anything. To tell the truth, I was scared at first to do it, waiting for smb to be so kind as to send me already hacked files. Nobody did. So... Also about Mihaylov's idea to hack the fonts IS GREAT. The fonts ARE residing in memory always. I know it from Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw I work with. Why do you write it's too expensive? You mean effort or the price of the program? As for the price of the program, I can do it myself and you will get the files.

1st the bad news I was not able to replicate Steppe's strategy to delete (almost) everything. Every attempt resulted in a no boot or gross instability (boot screen goes crazy). I am talking kernel32, ntoskrnl, advapi32 and shell32. So if any of you are going to attempt to strip these files have Snapshot or SS equivalent handy because you will use it. The only thing that worked for me was Jack's recommendation to eliminate all menu stuff in ntoskrnl and all kernel32 bitmap stuff. Good news is that this is zero short of fantastic ... sound quality wise. The soundstage is enormous, bass is real, highs pristine. Airy, airy and airy. I have not yet attempted user32 stuff (per Jack) but that is next. WRT shell32 I have bottomed out at 2.497 mb.
So as noted above I was able to get shell32 down to a 2.497 mb level but realized I still had all the Dialogue stuff still intact. Recall that initially while hacking shell32 I took out all the Dialogue stuff (and it booted fine) but I lost the function to ADD / REMOVE folders from the cmp screen. So with Mihaylov's tireless effort to help he recommended reinstalling Dialogue 1079. Ok so now after reinstalling 1079 (along with all the Dialogues) but after other shell32 hacking I realized I had an opportunity to go back & hack away at all the Dialogue (except of course 1079) so I did. And it would not boot. Almost as if these things were interacting and some combinations work and some don't. So its really a crap shoot when you get into these system32 hacks.

I would greatly appreciate a gift of minimized FONTS!!!!
That program was seventy euros.
Now to your RESOURCE HACKING comments - my WIN32K already looks like your screenshot before I do anything so I am not sure what you are recommending to do.
I just went through and deleted almost everything out of my files and got a HARD ERROR at start up. Restored back to where I was before and just played with ntoskrnl and WIN32K by themselves and got the same message. I deleted the unneeded language stuff from WIN32K on the compiler side and this must not be how to do it. I will keep trying.
I am in the midst of concetrating on registry so I think I will hold off on this until I am satisfied with where that goes.
