In my attempt to de-robe the mermaid...bad news and good news

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.
