I just installed Vista SP2. Then I merged SP2 and all other system packages into Vista permanently, freeing up lots of disk space. How does one do this?
- Click Start.
- In the search box, type cmd and press Enter. You’ll get a command window.
- Type compcln.exe
- You will be prompted as follows:
This operation will make all service packs and other packages permanent on this computer. Upon completion you will not be able to remove any cleaned packages from this system.
Would you like to continue? (Y/N): - Answer “y” and Windows Component Clean will clean up all that crap.
That’s it. Now your system is a lot like a fresh Vista+SP2 build without all the leftover junk. Enjoy.
