    Is there anything for those of us that have all our installers already, we just want to compile them into one big bang and poosh butan?

    Not that I know of. I'll look into it.

    You ever have one of those, "why didn't I think of this" moments?

    Now that is 100% awesome, the time that is going to save me doing one install at a time off a USB key.

    Awesome find!!

    That will work well for when I'm doing reinstalls for the family rigs. In fact, I think I'm reinstalling XP on my brother's PC this weekend.

    TT: I think Snark is looking for a more elegant solution than making nlite cabs or coding the installs by hand.

    ^ Yar. WinMo phones, for example, have a program (that I naturally can't remember now) where you can just write a text file of all the cabs you want to install and as long as they're in the same directory as the file, you can launch that right after install to set everything back up how it was.

    If it can't be done, it can't be done. Too many things probably have restarts required or somesuch. Still, there might be something.

    How many of those files do you guys normally use?
    Generally speaking, I'd be downloading open office, winrar, the extensions for firefox, and ccleaner.
