Windows XP Home Theater Edition SP3

Alright I basically made this so you can quickly throw it on a computer and use it as a "Home Theater". It's based off the Windows XP Performance Edition SP3 - April 2008 v2 OS, which is why its so small.

The following has been added to the OS:
• Firefox 3.0.1 - Web Browser
• WinRAR 3.71 - File extractor
• K-Lite Codec Pack Mega 4.1.7 - Codec pack
• uTorrent 1.6.1.490 - Torrent downloader
• ConvertXToDVD 3.1.3.40 - Convert XviD/DviX to DVD and burn
• DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 - Copy DVDs to your HDD
• DVD Shrink 3.2.0.15 - Shrink DVDs
• ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 - Burn DVDs
• AutoGordianKnot-248B - Easily create your own XviD/DivX rips
• VirtualDub 1.8.5 - Edit video
• AIO Royale and Royal Theme Addon - XP Themes

Feel free to let me know of any good applications you think should be added.

I have disabled and deleted the Classic Windows XP Install Screens with the info about XP and the blue Background.
You will just see a black background now and the install will look similar to 2000. This saves Space and gives more
info while installing.

The Minimum HD and RAM Requirements have been lifted. You can try and install this on whatever machine you like now.
High ISO Compression has been enabled to save space.

The Following Settings Have been added to the unattended aspect of this OS.

VLK Serial Number
Firewall Disabled
System Restore Service Disabled
Automatic Updates Disabled (Can be re-enabled)
Default Theme Set on Classic (Can Change to Luna Which is Still Included)

Install Notes:
1. Unrar the ISO from the archives using Winrar.
2. Burn the ISO using a program such as Nero, Alcohol 120, Blindwrite, ect... (Burn at a slow Speed to ensure no errors, 2x-4x)
3. Change Bios Priority settings so it boots from the CD-ROM Drive First. (You may be able to skip this step)
4. Insert Disc and Reboot PC, Follow the on screen prompts and enjoy.

Notes:
If you are getting errors while copying files. It's your CD, not the release. Try burning it to different brand of cd/media and try burning at the slowest speed possible.
I just tested this in VMWare and it works flawless. You should get between 17-19 Processes and under 100mb of ram usage when using the computer initially. Everything you install/use will obviously increase this, however its the leanest XP Copy around.
