Re: Streamline XP image

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

What we do in a script is:

-clear pagefile.sys (usually 2* size of ram)
-powercfg /HIBERNATE OFF (usually same size as ram)
-sfc /PURGECACHE (usually 100's of megabytes)
-remove $NtUninstallKB* folders in C:\windows (usually 100+ mb)
-delete contents of temp folders in windows and profiles (usually not much)
-empty recycle-bin (size of contents depends)

then our script runs sysprep

the imagefile is a lot smaller when doing this, which in turn makes it
faster to deploy.
