Switching Windows Components on and off

  • Article

Ever wanted to install/uninstall/enable/disable various Windows components automatically during installation or deployment?  I have compiled this list from various sources which lets you easily do just that!  You simply add the whole list to either your unattend.txt file or your sysprep.inf file and change the "On" or "Off" values accordingly.  This is a list for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 so some items will not work depending on the Operating System you are installing (for example 'pinball' does not exist on Windows 2003 server).  Don't worry as it won't generate an error for you, if the item enabled does not exist then it is just ignored.

Each one should be pretty self explanatory as to what it refers to.
