Here you can tick any programs you want and then just click "Begin Install". Also, there is an icon on your desktop called "Install Programs". This icon will open this menu again, but you need to have the CD in the CD drive for this to work. Alternatively, you can browse into the PROGS folder on the CD. Open Task Manager first, then double click a program from the PROGS folder and it will install silently, look in Task Manager to see when the program has finished installing. Do not run 2 programs at once. On the WPI menu you do not have that problem because all the programs are listed on the screen as they install. Most of these programs install fast, some are cut down versions, but for the average user there is no loss of functionality. ________________________________________________________________________ eXPerience Desktop Folder Sub-Folders: - Convert To Windows XP - Data Execution Prevention - Desktop Icon Layout - Firefox Ultimate Optimizer - Functionality - Hard Drive Not Showing - Hibernation - Keyboard Settings - MSI File Install Fixer - Registry Backup - ShrinkXP Scripts - User Passwords Every sub-folder of the eXPerience folder has a ReadMe.txt file, you should always read these text files before doing anything with any of the tools in these sub-folders. ________________________________________________________________________ Reduced Installation: This is a greatly reduced installation of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2. Please read these notes before using this edition of Windows: - Standalone system only! You could try plugging another PC into yours and see what happens, it might work, but LAN networking is not necessarily functional in this install. - Single User Only! - You cannot create extra users. - No Webcams, Scanners or Digital Cameras! - FTP Sites - There is no "built in" support for downloading from FTP sites, try using Filezilla or WS_FTP if you need to do that. Opera web browser alone can cope with FTP. - No Visiting Windows Update! - No Fast User Switching! - No Password Storage - Windows will not save stored passwords, however, this only really applied to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, which are removed. You will be OK using Firefox or Opera web browsers and Thunderbird email client for emails. Those are self contained programs and take care of storing/remembering your passwords by themselves. - No CD-ROM Autoplay - No Smart Card Detection! - No Scheduled Tasks! - No Remote Desktop! - No "Uninterruptible Power Supply" service! ________________________________________________________________________ Windows Drivers: Native Windows Drivers that are kept in both installations of this Micro2003 special edition: - Ethernet (LAN) - Logitech Wingman (Joystick) - Microsoft SideWinder (Joystick) - MultiFunctional (Xircom CreditCard Ethernet+Modem 28.8, PCI, PCMCIA) - SCSI / RAID - Sound Controllers - Wireless Ethernet Also added: Sound drivers for VMware and all the sound drivers from XP that are not normally in Server 2003 like "AC97" drivers. ________________________________________________________________________ Bashrat the Sneaky Driverpacks If you choose the first option on this CD you will get all these drivers included so, as long as your device is plugged in and switched on as Windows is installing, the device will have its drivers installed. Only the drivers that you need are installed, all other drivers are not used and not stored on your hard drive after extraction. Added driverpacks to cover the following types of devices: - CPU - Ethernet LAN - Mass Storage - Monitors - SATA - Sound - USB Devices - Windows XP Drivers - Wireless LAN Also added: Every driver that is not in Windows Server 2003 but is in Windows XP is included. This is mainly to cover Intel chipsets, but there are also sound drivers and many other drivers from Windows XP. Sound drivers for VMware are included and all the sound drivers from Windows XP that are not normally in Server 2003 like "AC97" drivers. ________________________________________________________________________ What you can do: - Programs and games... You can still install and run just about all the programs and games that you can run on a normal installation of Windows. There are more than 50 programs you can install from this CD and all of them work. - Dial-Up Connectivity... You can use a "Dial-Up broadband" connection. The three services that are vital for this functionality (Remote Access Connection Manager, Remote Access Auto Connection Manager and Telephony) are all included in this edition of Windows. - Printing... You can use a printer with this edition of Windows. - 16-Bit Support... You can run old 16-Bit applications in this edition of Windows. - External Hard Disk Drives... You can plug in external hard disk drives with this edition of Windows, because the Logical Disk Manager service is still remaining in Windows. ________________________________________________________________________ MD5: D37E34AF5119BC2A315F08C169FE1824 ________________________________________________________________________ Don't forget to join SnipeR's Redemption Network: http://forum.retestrak.nl ________________________________________________________________________ Enjoy this fine release from eXPerience Release Date: September 19th 2008 ________________________________________________________________________

Correction: The ISO file is 692Mb not 699Mb like it says. Still, the MD5 is right.

seed gang
and welcome to the wonderful world of server2003 tweaked
great for running games on your old can of junk
thanks EXP.

wireclicks (2008-09-21)

Just an other gem.
How about 64bit versions of XP, Vista, servers 2003 and 2008 ?
Thanks a lot man.

danbotz (2008-09-25)

i'm having problem installing this on SATA hard disks. any suggestions how ???? thanks in advance !!!!

ParticleX (2008-10-03)

I liked your Micro 2003 before but it doesn't have print support built-in. Other than that, it works very well. Could you make another release without the optional add-on apps? thanks!

ntoskrnl (2008-10-03)

@Particlex:
He's actually making one, it's called Micro2003 v0.81. It's not too far away from ready. ;)

kashman (2008-10-05)

eXPerience; thanks for this, truly awesome upload.
Got a question though, how do you play/install WMV files on this OS?
WMP11 simply cannot be installed, and when I try to play HD WMVs downloaded from sites, I can't play them in MPC. VLC plays them, but badly.
Would appreciate some help.

jbabey (2008-10-06)

This version is fantastic.... only 2 minor issues
1 - the office2003 LITE (fucking great btw) does not include spellcheck, i dont give a shit about grammer but my spelling is teh suk, it would be awesome if english language spellcheck was included
2 - no networking at all, cant even map a drive. I thought that was kind of funny because you managed to squeeze that shit into microXP (daily use install now!) I saw it was a crapshoot in the readme, but if your gonna roll another version, being able to map to my other machine would kick fucking ass.
Thanks so much, your releases bring a tear to me eye!

giggedyguy (2008-10-21)

kashman, I don't think WMP 11 is compatible with Windows 2003.
wireclicks, there is no support for 64 bit in anything before Windows Vista, and even that is problematic. You want 64 Bit, try Ubuntu Linux 8.10 when it comes out in 10 days. It's as easy as windows and very, very fast. It will be available as a stable version Oct 30th!
Mr "Experience", I thought you dropped out of sight! Anyway, that guy whom you tudored who came out with Black Russian XP acts like a dick to everybody. I defended him a lot when people were really hammering him, but after I sent him subscription money, I could no longer access his forums! Plus, he's lazy as shit compared to you. He offers ZERO description in the app installer, whereas you are highly descriptive.

giggedyguy (2008-10-22)

I thought task scheduler was necessary for certain important programs such as Acronis True Image, offline disk-checking, defrag and that sort?
Also, just to be certain, can I choose which partition this gets installed to? I just lost important information because of a horrible mistake I made and I don't want to repeat that mistake.

zj66 (2008-10-30)

@eXPer1ence, Your uploads are awesome! Had no problem with any of them. It's cool trying out the different progs. Much thanks!

milkingman (2008-12-02)

How Cum you never make 64bit versions O.o I sense it is too much challenge

ntoskrnl (2008-12-29)

@milkingman:
eXP never releases OS's that have problems. 64-bit drivers (at least for XP64) are a bit of a "meh", that has let him off many times. Also, some applications and games don't run well on XP64.
And he won't touch Vista with a long stick... I just don't understand why, it really ain't that bad.

forforoon (2009-01-01)

One of the rare notable uploaders and sharers is you, Mr. EXPERIENCE. i once installed your perfectly built MICRO XP, and currently my puter runs your perfect version of MICRO VISTA ULTIMATE. It's fully activated, gets all updates. i'm going to book mark this page, i'm really ready to experience the MICRO 2003 built by the unique mr.EXPERIENCE

vanTorX (2009-11-05)

I have problem with installing in VMWare v7 because I get asked for acct. name (different from Administrator) and key in system setup window before installation is finished. What goes on? Is that because of VMWare or just this latest version?

thimage (2009-12-16)

Sorry for my ignorance but isn't Windows 2003 a 64 bit OS also called Server 2003? Isn't it what MS has called XP64?
So: isn't this Micro2003 version of Mr eXPerience in 64 bit?
Thanks for shedding light on thid for me. I currently run a Superior 64XP on my laptop and it works great. But Mr eXPerience's work seems better still.
