over 1.6 before reading this thread, not about 859... and its running a whole lot faster, thanks for starting this thread. any tips on how to shrink it more?

Looks good, if you have a lot of programs installed, then the system32 folder gets bigger, but you should be able to get rid a a few more things :p

I am looking through all the files and deleting what I dont think is needed, if I find a large group of files or folders you can remove, I will post it here :p

636MB ah the joys of win2k :)

I could get 2k down to 300mb, but it doesnt work on my computer :(

I dont know WTF is up with that, because my computer came with 2k :(

But, I am hoping to get XP as small and fast as possable :p

:blink: how do i delete the help folder. whenever i try and delete it, it says it is in use. do i do it in safe mode? also where are the $NT8738uninstall$ and dllcache folders?

To see the other folders, show all files/folders, and OS Protected files, then they will show up :p

For the help folder, I denied access to it for the system (NTFS Options) then rebooted, and you can delete it :p

    • To me that "Living Wage Fee" is a forced tip.  Then of course  it asks for another tip.  I'd point to that other fee, and say there is the tip.   Note:  I typically tip 25%, I'd possibly do another 7% in this situation myself.

    • TF are you talking about, there's way way more work that goes into a game like The Outer Worlds 2 than Mario Kart. And like you said, you didn't play it, so your opinion is pretty much invalid here.
    • Because the food service industry has successfully lobbied the idiot US government to let them get away with paying their staff less than the legal minimum wage, which is just atrocious and sickening.  This is just another way to fleece the customer and I'm extremely sceptical that the kitchen staff see any of that additional fee revenue. Pay your f-ing staff you cheap b-stards! Everyone else does!
    • Customers are the only way restaurants make money to pay their employees.  Customers pay for the food supply... the power bill... the rent... and yes payroll.  Without customers... restaurants wouldn't have a business.   The problem here is that people get upset when they see extra fees on their bill. If a restaurant charged $16 for a cheeseburger... no one would care. But if it's broken down to $13 for the cheeseburger and $3 for the extra fee... then people get bothered.  People don't like fees... or simply the appearance of fees. It's like concert tickets.  You buy a ticket for $50 and then you must also pay $25 in fees. Why not just just charge $75 for the ticket? In the end it's the same price... but it feels different.
