Here you can tick any programs you want and then just click "Begin Install". Also, there is an icon on your desktop called "Install Programs". This icon will open this menu again, but you need to have the CD in the CD drive for this to work. Alternatively, you can browse into the PROGS folder on the CD. Open Task Manager first, then double click a program from the PROGS folder and it will install silently, look in Task Manager to see when the program has finished installing. Do not run 2 programs at once. On the WPI menu you do not have that problem because all the programs are listed on the screen as they install. Most of these programs install fast, some are cut down versions, but for the average user there is no loss of functionality. ________________________________________________________________________ eXPerience Desktop Folder Sub-Folders: - Convert To Windows XP - Data Execution Prevention - Desktop Icon Layout - Firefox Ultimate Optimizer - Functionality - Hard Drive Not Showing - Hibernation - Keyboard Settings - MSI File Install Fixer - Registry Backup - ShrinkXP Scripts - User Passwords Every sub-folder of the eXPerience folder has a ReadMe.txt file, you should always read these text files before doing anything with any of the tools in these sub-folders. ________________________________________________________________________ Reduced Installation: This is a greatly reduced installation of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2. Please read these notes before using this edition of Windows: - Standalone system only! You could try plugging another PC into yours and see what happens, it might work, but LAN networking is not necessarily functional in this install. - Single User Only! - You cannot create extra users. - No Webcams, Scanners or Digital Cameras! - FTP Sites - There is no "built in" support for downloading from FTP sites, try using Filezilla or WS_FTP if you need to do that. Opera web browser alone can cope with FTP. - No Visiting Windows Update! - No Fast User Switching! - No Password Storage - Windows will not save stored passwords, however, this only really applied to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are removed. You will be OK using Firefox or Opera web browsers and Thunderbird email client for emails. Those are self contained programs and take care of storing/remembering your passwords by themselves. - No CD-ROM Autoplay - No Smart Card Detection! - No Scheduled Tasks! - No Remote Desktop! - No "Uninterruptible Power Supply" service! ________________________________________________________________________ Windows Drivers: Native Windows Drivers that are kept in both installations of this Micro2003 special edition: - Ethernet (LAN) - Logitech Wingman (Joystick) - Microsoft SideWinder (Joystick) - MultiFunctional (Xircom CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 28.8, PCI, PCMCIA) - SCSI / RAID - Sound Controllers - Wireless Ethernet Also added: Sound drivers for VMware and all the sound drivers from XP that are not normally in Server 2003 like "AC97" drivers. ________________________________________________________________________ Bashrat the Sneaky Driverpacks If you choose the first option on this CD you will get all these drivers included so, as long as your device is plugged in and switched on as Windows is installing, the device will have its drivers installed. Only the drivers that you need are installed, all other drivers are not used and not stored on your hard drive after extraction. Added driverpacks to cover the following types of devices: - CPU - Ethernet LAN - Mass Storage - Monitors - SATA - Sound - USB Devices - Windows XP Drivers - Wireless LAN Also added: Every driver that is not in Windows Server 2003 but is in Windows XP is included. This is mainly to cover Intel chipsets, but there are also sound drivers and many other drivers from Windows XP. Sound drivers for VMware are included and all the sound drivers from Windows XP that are not normally in Server 2003 like "AC97" drivers. ________________________________________________________________________ What you can do: - Programs and games... You can still install and run just about all the programs and games that you can run on a normal installation of Windows. There are more than 50 programs you can install from this CD and all of them work. - Dial-Up Connectivity... You can use a "Dial-Up broadband" connection. The three services that are vital for this functionality (Remote Access Connection Manager, Remote Access Auto Connection Manager and Telephony) are all included in this edition of Windows. - Printing... You can use a printer with this edition of Windows. - 16-Bit Support... You can run old 16-Bit applications in this edition of Windows. - External Hard Disk Drives... You can plug in external hard disk drives with this edition of Windows, because the Logical Disk Manager service is still remaining in Windows.
