How to slim down Windows

Windows includes a lot of components to allow it work in a huge and diverse range of environments. As a result, your version of Windows is bloated with a whole lot of stuff you will never use. There are various ways of removing this fat. For example, the Black Viper site [1] provides excellent guidance as to what services you can disable. There is also nLite [2], a freeware program that allows you to create a customized cut-down version of Windows geared to your specific needs. Both of these are valuable options, but there are many traps here for beginners. If you want to slim down your version of Windows, I suggest you read Bold_Fortune’s "Complete Guide to Slimming down Windows XP" [3] first. It will not only tell you what to do, but also alert you to the pitfalls you need to avoid. Highly recommended.
