Thanks

If you are able to get TinyXP, you can get a usb install version as well...if your PC supports booting from USB~

Yeh, but the tinyxp does not have the same folders as normal xp (or the correct setup files)

And no mate.. my laptop does not support booting from USB

Any other thoughts??

Thanks

Yeah, quit using TinyXP. Just install a regular XP version (or whatever version you can get on the drive), then use the same author's (eXPerience) configuration files (a file you can double click to automatically import all the reg tweaks he uses). The install size will be different, but the ram usage will pretty much be the same. I even posted those configuration files on the forum.

You should be able to get around 50-55mb of usage with a fresh install of XP, and one of his higher tweaks (hardcore/maniac).

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/1/ is your friend when it comes to customizing windows installations.

the reg files you've seen posted about on this site can be added by simply double clicking them.

Lastsession.ini files are used with NLite.

If you don't know what you're doing, I would suggest NOT attempting any of these tweaks on a system you rely on. Try it on a virtual machine or a spare system you don't mind re-loading the OS on in case something goes wrong.
