Thought I would share my findings with fellow members so people will have better understanding on what to do.

Download the tutorial and cook away. I tried to be as detailed as I can, please feel free to add if appropriate.

Let me know if i missed anything.

Enjoy!!

EDIT: In step 11, either paste the content of the exported reg file into the rgu file, or just rename the reg file to XXXX.rgu. (where XXXX is the UUID)

i agree, very good writeup.... now quick question. If i want to remove things using the rom kitchen such as powerpoint and voice speed dial... and upx some system files, hwo would i go about doing that?

kwyatt -

Try delete the package from OEM folder so it won't get picked up by CreateOS.exe.

OEM only contains non-microsoft software. You need to delete the Power point file from a folder in OS (just do a search for ppt or manually search through the numbered folders).

By the way, GREAT write-up. Only thing I think you forgot to include his how to create the "shortcut". The initflash.txt file in your example will not work, because you never created the adobereader.lnk shortcut (it shows up in your picture of the directory, but I think you skipped the step of creating the .lnk file).
