Eliminating unneeded NTFS permissions

From http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/103169

Eliminating administrative rights is an easy way to prevent viruses, adware, and other annoyances from being installed on your systems. If you’re logged on to a computer as an administrator, all the processes you run have full control of the system, which is a huge security risk. For example, if you view a questionable website as an administrator, adware on that site can easily install and infect the computer. If you view the same website as a user, the adware won’t have installation rights and therefore will be prevented from installing. Read more »

Ubuntu software repositories

If you have been a Windows and/or a Mac OS user to date, you are probably used to searching for a program on the internet (often offered in an executable installer) and having to download and install it.

You’re probably familiar with software distributed on CDs, DVDs, etc. which often have an autorun feature from where you can then install them. For free and open systems like Ubuntu GNU/Linux there is some software distributed in this fashion, but those are mostly proprietary and closed programs. Read more »

Trimming down Windows XP to run on a USB stick

In this new age of portable apps, and running software on USB sticks, it is possible to even run a virtual machine version of MS Windows XP on a USB stick. However, you’ll probably want to remove some of the “bloat” of your Windows XP installation, to reduce the file size of your O/S. A Windows XP installation can be reduced to ~600MB (~375MB if you’re willing to forego Internet Explorer).

To do this, there are 2 great apps available, nLite and XPLite. The main difference between the two is WHEN they are run.

NLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) is run before Windows XP is installed. It loads all of the installation files from installation media (CD), and lets you pick and choose which ones you want to include in your installation.

XPLite (http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html) is run after Windows XP is installed. It lets you remove unwanted items from your installation, which will reduce the “footprint” of your install. Note that the Free/Trial version only lets you remove a subset of the entire installation.
