Discussion of the Results:
In trying to create a custom default user I screwed up the default
user.
When you create a new user an error will appear about telephony.
Despite this imperfection the 2 user accounts are almost perfect.
Winpatrol may popup about some microsoft services or browser plug-
ins.
Just say yes and the popups should stop.
For each user account, You may need to register real player 10.
Choose the free player and be careful NOT to install the toolbars!
Uncheck all the garbage offers during registration of Real Player.
A watermark describing your windows as an evaluation copy will be
displayed near
bottom right corner of your screen.
Having exhausted myself trying to defeat the expiry and the watermark,
I surrendered to having a genuine Windows for 1 year without a
persistent nag saying my Windows is NOT genuine!
I have turned off many services and I have made several tweaks!
If you wish to undo my tweaks then just run the troubleshoot wizard in
control panel.
I did NOT insatll a fax program. There may be a fax program inside
Windows 7?

NB my Disciples:
Beware of Acer Computers. Acer motherboards change the first
partition on the HD.
Therfore you need to do step S11 after S7. This puts a dummy 1 GB
data partition onto the beginning of the HD. After you restore the
dummy partion then continue with steps S8 - S18. Remember this will
shift everything down by 1. So MBR Entry 1 becomes MBR Entry 2 and
New Volume-2 becomes New Volume-3.
Also beware, if the PC has micro drives then remove the wire from the
motherboard first, because the drive letter D:\ will be assigned to
one of the micro drives.
Drive letter D:\ must be assigned to the data partition, New
Volume-2.
Upon first boot the drive letters should be assigned properly. Then
shutdown PC and reconnect micro drives.
If drive letter D:\ is not assigned to New Volume partition then:
click start >Right click computer >manage >disk management >Right
click on DVD or
micro drive that has been assigned letter D:\ >Change drive letter and
paths
about programs may not run correctly >Change New Volume to D:\
If you are deploying this image on a newbie's computer then please
hide protected system files!
The image of windows consumes 12.4 GB on c:\, on D:\, 0.5GB. The two
DVD disks represent 7GB and 3GB respectively. The deleted pagefiles on
disk are automatically recreated when Windows first boots. Pagefile on
C:\ is 2GB, on D:\, 04.GB. BootitNG is able to compress almost 7GB
onto 1 DVD disk.
Good Luck my disciples!
May the force be with you!

Discussion of the Results:
In trying to create a custom default user I screwed up the default
user.
When you create a new user an error will appear about telephony.
Despite this imperfection the 2 user accounts are almost perfect.
Winpatrol may popup about some microsoft services or browser plug-
ins.
Just say yes and the popups should stop.
For each user account, You may need to register real player 10.
Choose the free player and be careful NOT to install the toolbars!
Uncheck all the garbage offers during registration of Real Player.
A watermark describing your windows as an evaluation copy will be
displayed near
bottom right corner of your screen.
Having exhausted myself trying to defeat the expiry and the watermark,
I surrendered to having a genuine Windows for 1 year without a
persistent nag saying my Windows is NOT genuine!
I have turned off many services and I have made several tweaks!
If you wish to undo my tweaks then just run the troubleshoot wizard in
control panel.

NB my Disciples:
Beware of Acer Computers. Acer motherboards change the first
partition on the HD.
Therfore you need to do step S11 after S7. This puts a dummy 1 GB
data partition onto the beginning of the HD. After you restore the
dummy partion then continue with steps S8 - S18. Remember this will
shift everything down by 1. So MBR Entry 1 becomes MBR Entry 2 and
New Volume-2 becomes New Volume-3.
Also beware, if the PC has micro drives then remove the wire from the
motherboard first, because the drive letter D:\ will be assigned to
one of the micro drives.
Drive letter D:\ must be assigned to the data partition, New
Volume-2.
Upon first boot the drive letters should be assigned properly. Then
shutdown PC and reconnect micro drives.
If drive letter D:\ is not assigned to New Volume partition then:
click start >Right click computer >manage >disk management >Right
click on DVD or
micro drive that has been assigned letter D:\ >Change drive letter and
paths
about programs may not run correctly >Change New Volume to D:\
If you are deploying this image on a newbie's computer then please
hide protected system files!
The image of windows consumes 12.4 GB on c:\, on D:\, 0.5GB. The two
DVD disks represent 7GB and 3GB respectively. The deleted pagefiles on
disk are automatically recreated when Windows first boots. Pagefile on
C:\ is 2GB, on D:\, 04.GB. BootitNG is able to compress almost 7GB
onto 1 DVD disk.
Good Luck my disciples!
May the force be with you!
