The problem I am running into is I can not find any
information on how to install the upgrade from Winnt 4.0
Workstation to XP PRO, without installing the games, ie:
Solitaire, Internet Checkers, Hearts, etc.

I know that in a 2000 server environment it can be
controlled with group policy. Unfortunately we are still
running on a Winnt 4.0 server network. Is there any way to
create customized install that I can push out to my
network through SMS? I know that Server 2000 handles this
issue using policy templates, does anyone know which .adm
I can use to stop the games if a custom install is not
possible?

Second, many of the machines in my network are very new,
and XP does not have the bundled drivers for the graphics
card or the NIC. How can I include these drivers in my
install?

Thank you for any advice you have,
