Re: writing out changes to running xp embedded image

I would advise turning off as many logs as you can.
See the Microsoft site for info on turning off logging, last accessed times,
etc.
fbwfmgr.exe reports on what files have been written to
which is helpful to determine what has to be turned off.

Most of the other things you listed are stored in the registry.
You can either configure fbwf to allow writes to the registry or use the
registry filter.
The registry is composed of several files stored in
c:\windows\system32\config

I'd prefer to use FBWF since I can control what gets saved and what
doesn't get saved. I'd only need to save the following:

Certain directories and all the files within them
Changing the administrator password
Changing the settings in any of the services
Changing any of the settings for the network configuration
Changing the values in the registry

But I don't want to save any of the logs that windows generates. I'd also
like to automatically clear those logs after a certain length of time has
passed. That way it doesn't fill the ram up which would require to reboot
the appliance.

I'm also wondering with FBWF, on boot up, is the whole file system loaded
into RAM so that the only time the compact flash card is touched is on
boot up when it is being read into RAM and when changes are being written
to it that would then require the appliance be rebooted.
