Recently I came across something called "Windows XP Black Edition 2009" which comes with host of programs that get direcly installed while one installs the OS. I found this to be quite cool!
I would also like to accomplish something similar by making my own version of WinXP and WinVISTA setup disks, which directly install applications I use frequently. Things like that save a lot of trouble and time while formatting the harddisks and seting up the pc again for full functionality.
Please guide me about applications that can help me achieve this, preferably freeware. Please also direct me to threads where something of such a nature may have been discussed.
Now, as I was going through the specifications of this Black Edition 2009, the developer mentioned removal of certain dlls, modifications of others, a lot of bundled drivers, etc., usually aimed at improving performance, and removing unnecessary stuff from Windows. Is it possible to extract these elements of the OS, and bundle along my own apps, and sort of create my own "jig-saw OS" ? Also, what are your opinions of these modified and removed files form Windows. Can such modifications create problems in certain operating environments?
Also, if Im not asking for much, can application's installer settings be modified while making the custom disk so that thay auto-install the way we would like the app to be manually installed?
Thank You for your patience
