Render, that's only in certain cases.
If I recall, nLite cannot operate on a live system; in all my testing, it is made to operate SOLELY against a batch of files one would get from an installation disc. XPLite is superior in the case that you do not want to reinstall your system, and it works reliably. I have used it on many SP1/SP2 installations to remove IE, the driver cache, WMP, and other useless features without issue--much the same as I stated back in the "Remove WMP" thread, or whatever it was called. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I remove IE and the "IE Core" without any breakage on my system. This is not to say that it wouldn't break features to do this, but I prune most things out, so I really couldn't tell you.
About all that survives is Disk Cleanup, Disk Defrag, languages, and some things like the JET DB engine, among other system-critical items. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

It most certainly does. My only issue, again, is that you need to completely reinstall to use nLite successfully.
But really--if you've got a choice between reinstalling with it stripped down, and stripping it down while it's installed... take the first, as Render implied. It's far easier. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
