Thanks Consalo and UrbanSurgery, Advice taken - I'm excited to try! Quick question. I have an old copy of Windows XP Home Edition FULL VERSION with SP2. Is this the same as Shadow Lite? I've been googling like crazy to no avail. What is Shadow Lite? I find it on pirate sites... not an option for me. Is it an add on that strips windows to essentials? I saw other software that helps do this. Should I Get XP Pro then get Shadow Lite? Where can one get Shadow Lite.
Again - thanks!
