If you are new to using Vista, or if you want to begin a clean slate, you may want to cut out some of the bulk that comes with Vista.
A popular program designed to help you with this task is named vLite.

vLite requires you to copy the setup files from your Vista installation disc to your hard drive. You then select the components you want to include in your install and then you make a bootable ISO file. Details of which components you remove come down to your choice and are out of the scope of this book.
However, there are many sites out there that are willing to give you a starter point and suggestions. While vLite is aimed at more advanced users, you should have no problems having a go yourself. In the worst scenario, you are left with a Vista installation that doesn’t have all the components you need.
One tip I will urge you to follow is to create the vLite ISO on a computer other than the one you are putting Vista on. If your OS is not functional you can at least try again.
