[QUOTE="Willith, post: 332040, member: 53141"] I will give this a shot when i get home (funny how we all browse at work eh?) Had a new machine arrive yesterday with XP Preinstalled. Used Parition magic (avaliable on utilmate boot disc or Hirens boto disc) to resize and create a new partition for Tinyxp. Made it 10gb and assigned it as D:\ . TinyXp is a heavily stripped down version of XP and comes with different settings you can apply to turn off useless services. Now when i boot the machine i have the choice of running either of the two XP installs. Went into boot.ini and renamed the tinyxp one to Mediaportal and changed the wait time from 30 to 5 seconds, Currently have something like 18 or so processes running. Made the desktop blank and removed most of the junk in the start menu. Made the task bar auto hide and media portal autorun. Also added a custom bootskin as a final touch. But this looks great. I will have to try it out later. [/QUOTE]
