In Reply to: RE: Lost and LAST registry tweaks posted by steppe on November 25, 2011 at 12:46:24
Hello! Inmates! No permission was asked for or given. I made these changes during part 13-15 of the tweaks and AFTER the services and legacy services (around tweaks part7) were deleted from the registry. No permission was demanded. The xplite was implemented to its utmost after part 3, then minlogon (in my current setup I didn't need to make a minlogon acrobatics). When making standard cics' tweaks I DISABLED practically all the services, not just stopped them and disabled IP security from administrative tools-local security settings. This weekend I am going to rebuild everything from scratch (to use ps/2 mouse) and will go this way again but with Junaid's batch files. Will report, if anything goes differently. Also, a nontechnical comment: when you start from scratch, make all the cics changes + disable ip security and proceed with my tweaks. make xplite, awe, minlogon. THEN... LISTEN. If it sounds really good after my tweaks part 3-4, it WILL sound good. If it doesn't, you better start again. You may repeat the same steps, but the sonic result will be different. I can't explain why.

I think you should try an nLite install(unless you already did and did not like what you got). Seems to me you would have to have a smaller config folder than you could get otherwise. Registry is built at installation. I have no idea how much registry modification is done within XPLite so my assumptions could be completely erroneous.
Had not looked at the Administrative Tools/Local Security Settings before. Looks like lots of things worth exploring there. I guess you could implement AWE from there ...
Don't know if you used AUTORUNS before but I found I could uncheck/delete everything corresponding to a file to be deleted and lots of stuff dealing with SERVICES dependent on SHELL32. This was done within cMP. More stuff eliminated from the registry. There was little left of AUTORUNS when I was finished. Only the entries dealing with stuff I knew was needed. My config folder is now 4.2 mB.
Also went through some of the registry deleting stuff dealing with the services not needed and whose .dll files are deleted anyway. Also, deleted from DEFAULT all file suffixes dealing with audio and video. Got a list from WIKIPEDIA of all file extensions to go by.
Files that were needed (for the machine to start) from an earlier big nLite install (only keyboard and languages unchecked) were not there to begin with with the minimal nLite install leading to a smaller WINDOWS.
Now I want to do it again with this new idea about Administrative Tools/Local Security Settings and hear what happens.
Hi, Rick! I want to make a superminimal nlite install, but I don't know if it will allow Lynx drivers installation, if it will remove all the files and so on. I will use batch files, reg files, but how to clean windows to the extent I am at now,I don't yet know.
Also, how do we do nlite? make a disk and install xp from it? What next?
About the size of the registry. Did diminishing it work positively for you? As far as I understood ALL registry all 16mb(from the start) is always read and is residing in the nonpaged memory, and this is the most precious part of physical memory, that our soundcards' drivers use and, I think, partly cplay/cmp. I tried reducing "visible" memory for windows with /maxmem=*** setting. Interesting that reducing memory timings demands for slightly more like 215-216-217 mb. to ramload in cmp. I am yet to test /burnmemory instead of /maxmemory. The latter setting allows to avoid "holes" in nonpaged memory, that some people report. Anyway, will soon post about the results, including anothes STABLE boot.ini setting. Very good results.

Please, for those like me, can you, if enough time, post a more extended NLITEing process? With traps to avoid. What is the size of windows after nlite instal. How functional it remains. What is this talk about registry cleaning?
It is free and simple. And the install goes so quickly finding something that doesn't work is no big deal. About ten minutes start to finish.
You will have to have NETFRAMEWORK on the machine you use to produce the install disk.
There is a place where you can tell it to delete or retain specified files.
I had success deleting the codecs but when I tried to make a big deletion list something or other would go wrong so after goint through eleven disks I gave up. I will try this again but that day it was all I could stand!
If Junaid's registry cleaner works this becomes a moot point anyway
Go download it and play with it. http://www.nliteos.com/
I have made ten's of disks over the last three months to find how little I could get away with.
The minimal recommendation I gave works with JULI@ and PS/2.
If you know which files the LYNX needs just make sure you retain them in the spot where this is allowed (ADVANCED tab) I don't have it in front of me so forgive my minimal help!
You can also load drivers into the install. Though I must add I tried to load JULI@ drivers and this did not work for me. I probably did something wrong.
It is very simple to use just take you time looking at it the first time.
I look forward to hearing what tricks you come up with!
I am planning on making a list of what I did but as soon as I think I have it ready (in my head) you and Junaid come up with bew ideas to incorporate.
As I mentioned before the registry cleaner fclo recommended would not work with my nLite install. I will try Junaid's recommended one when I do the next install which just might be tonight! Can't wait to power that PS/2 mouse with my 5 volts sdd/hdd power supply. Why did that not occur to me?
