Bold_Fortune Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 I don't know what "Software Distribution" is. I suspect it's from a program you have installed. I wouldn't worry too much about removing most log files, most are remade. I'd be careful about deleting uninstall logs, though, in case you want to uninstall a program. I use a program called HDValet to clear all my log files. I configure it this way: C:\ *.log But I protect these log files: uninstal.log Unistall.log install.log NTUSER.DAT.LOG UsrClass.dat.LOG PASSWORD.LOG default.log SAM.LOG SECURITY.LOG software.LOG system.LOG PASSWD.LOG AVVirus.log AVApp.log AVError.log The reason I protect these particular log files is because without the Unistall.log and install.log files I can't uninstall certain programs if I want to. The system-protected LOG files, and NAV log files can't be deleted this way anyway, but I enter them so HDValet won't spend 5 minutes trying to figure out it can't delete them.

Bold_Fortune Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I updated my system32 batch file. I wanted to tryout a junk file cleaner named, Find Junk Files. It looked pretty cool, and I'm always on the lookout for stuff like it. Anyway, I had a terrible time...three hours worth of terrible time...figuring out which files I needed in system32 just to install the darn thing. I don't know anything about how people make programs, and how they use some of Microsoft's files in their programing, so I'm only guessing by the descriptions of the some of the 9 system32 files the program needs to install itself, it has something to do with 16-bit applications. Even if it turns out I dislike Find Junk Files and uninstall it later, I took these 9 files out of the batch file just in case I run into another one of these programs that requires them...because it just took too long figuring this out, and I don't want to go through it again. ...Like the command.com file is needed only momentarily to begin the installation...and then it is no longer needed...so, here i am trying for an hour to figure out why I can complete the installation without command.com, but I can't get the installation to start without it. ....grrr. Here's the list of 9 files: command.com himem.sys migpwd.exe mmsystem.dll ntdos.sys ntio.sys shell.dll tsappcmp.dll wowexec.exe I made a few other changes to the system32 batch file. This one is by far my best so far. I keep working on it to get it right...as exactly right as I can...because I know some of you are following along with me on this project, and I want to do this right, not just for myself, but for you, too. Look at it like you would a program update that gets a few bugs out of the last version release. This batch file will backup to C:/ in a folder named "backup" all the individual system32 files it removes. In case you need some files I don't, you'll have them saved there for you.

nuhi Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 @frease Yup...but if you change some updated system files, they will require sp1 files to restore them.

Bold_Fortune Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Here's mine: Windows Directory (all files and sub-folders)? 1449 ...Files 78 ...Folders 322 MB ...Size on disk I don't use File Compression, and all my programs are installed on my C Drive along with XP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been playing with fonts today. I have a Backup Image saved on another partition of a Fresh Installation of XP, with only Windows Updates installed. Drive Image 2000 has a nifty little utility that comes with it called Image Explorer. With it, I can view, and even copy and save individual files and whole folders from the fresh installation. I noticed that I didn't have these fonts installed on the fresh installation so I removed them along with those I normally remove: Book Antiqua (All) Bookman Old Style (All) Century Gothic (All) Garamond (All) MS Outlook.TTF These may have been installed with some program along the way...my installation is over a year old. I know I once had Microsoft Office 2000 installed. Maybe some are from it. All the websites I visit are still looking as usual. All my programs still display the same way. So I guess I'm okay with removing these from my system. Remember though, everyone's system is set up differently. This works for me, and maybe for you, but I can't guarantee it. Here's a relisting of ALL the Fonts I remove from my system: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts Sometimes .fon extention fonts (The red A fonts) hide, so you need to run a search for *.fon in Search Assistant. You can safely delete all of the .fon fonts except these 15: cga40woa.fon cga80woa.fon coure.fon dosapp.fon ega40woa.fon ega80woa.fon modern.fon roman.fon serife.fon smalle.fon sserife.fon symbole.fon vgafix.fon vgaoem.fon vgasys.fon EXTRA FONTS (TTF Extentions) I delete: arial black - (aka ariblk) comic sans MS - (aka comic) comic sans MS bold - (aka comicbd) Etrangelo Edessa - (aka este) Franklin Gothic Medium - (aka Framd) Franklin Gothic Medium Italic - (aka Framdit) guatami georgia (all) impact latha mangal mvboli Palatino Linotype (all) raavi shruti sylfaen symbol Trebuchet MS (all) tunga webdings WINGDINGS Additional Fonts I began removing: Book Antiqua (All) Bookman Old Style (All) Century Gothic (All) Garamond (All) MS Outlook.TTF Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/80511-winxp-guide-making-your-windows-folder-smaller/page/8/#findComment-1627125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold_Fortune Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Still working on Fonts. I found these, who's modified date goes back to 1997 and 1998. I'm assuming these were created with Office 2000, but they could have been created by some other program I used to run, but have since uninstalled. I know they are not installed with XP: ARBLI___.TTF ARIALN.TTF ARIALNB.TTF ARIALNBI.TTF ARIALNI.TTF Here is a list of all the remaining Fonts I have in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.

bkellner Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Still working on Fonts. I found these, who's modified date goes back to 1997 and 1998. OMG. I can't go 3 months without formatting and reinstalling my programs. Takes me about 2 hours for a complete restore. That is, formatting, reinstalling windows, reinstalling all the programs I use on a regular basis. I install random junk and uninstall it every day.. A lot of games, applications, etc.. So a nice format goes a long way, and it only takes 2 hours.

Bold_Fortune Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Jan, I have some batch files I made for the removal of complete folders. I have them broken down into four basic sections: Documents and Settings Folders Program Folders Windows Folders WINDOWS system32 Folders. I have a couple of batch files made for some individual files in folders for the drivers folder and the inf folder, but I got really tired of making them, so I stopped there. I don't want to post any of these batch files because...well, I'll give you a couple of examples. With the PCHealth removal, first msconfig needs to be moved to the system32 folder...and with the wbem folder, first the Framedyn.dll needs to be moved to system32...and I don't know how to incorporate those types of maneuvers into the batch files. Also, I have a bug in the Programs Folders batch file. I've tried a lot of different ways, but for some reason I can't get the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer folders to "move" into the backup folder on C:\ along with all the other Program Files folders. It moves all the other folders, but deletes the Internet Explorer folders completely. You can see these batch files are not ready to post. And I'll probably never complete them because of my lack of experience with working with batch files. When I ask some experts questions about making batch files, they seem to want me to study all there is to know about making batch files. Well, that doesn't interest me. I only need an example made which I can build upon. But you know how forum questions go...ask a simple question...get handed an encyclopedia to study.

Bold_Fortune Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Skank, I think the real point of this thread is that some of us feel that Microsoft could have made some of it's components optional. We would have liked having more control and choice as to what is installed with its operating system. XPLite tried doing this, but failed miserably, at least in my opinion. We really didn't need a fifty dollar program to help us delete Desktop Wallpapers and Mouse Pointers. I can delete Windows Tour and Help and Support perfectly well on my own without forking over that much cash. Besides, we're all having fun at this...right, peoples?

Bold_Fortune Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 (edited) Thanks again, nuhi. I modified your file a little for my wants Like I kept the Prefetch folder and Tasks folder. And I kept my Send To folder. Thanks very much for letting me know that these folders could also be removed completely. I was never too sure if they could or not, because I don't know that much about them. Since you're into this as much as I am, I'll take your word for it. Thanks. C:\WINDOWS\Cursors (Well, this one I knew) C:\WINDOWS\Debug << I take it "PASSWD.LOG" replaces itself anew in here? C:\WINDOWS\Media (I knew this one, too! ...lol.) C:\WINDOWS\PIF C:\WINDOWS\pss C:\WINDOWS\security\Database C:\WINDOWS\ShellNew C:\WINDOWS\system32\dhcp C:\WINDOWS\system32\ShellExt C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool One suggestion. Before removing PCHealth I suggest you move "msconfig" to the system32 folder first. Oh, if you do come up with a way to save the folders it removes to a folder in C:\ let me know. This is sort of what I'm looking for. This batch file below will create a folder on C:\ called simply "backup". Within the backup folder is a subfolder named "WINDOWS". Inside the WINDOWS folder will be the subfolders of WINDOWS that were moved here. I like it this way because it always tells me were a particular folder (or file) came from. Like with a folder from "system32", there would be a backup folder > WINDOWS folder > system32 folder...and inside the system32 folder would be the subfolders moved from system32.
