    FYI - For those with SSD Hard Drives.

    I was messing with my V-Lite compiles all day and found a happy medium - only a 4.5 gig install !

    Took out alot but I was glad I was able to cut it down to a good size.

    This is what I removed

    Drivers
    Speech
    Languages
    Media Center
    Movie DVD Maker
    Natural Languages
    Parent Contol
    Tablet
    MSN
    ....some more stuff. Can't read my handwriting past the list I made but this is a huge improvement.

    Is it possible to remove that post-install rather than use vlite and do a fresh install?

    Vlite needs vista install media.

    Filter manager..doesn't ring a bell on me removing it.
