Has anyone saved a list of all of the files that are included in the unmodified XP Home preload? Something like:

C:\>dir *.* /s /a > f:\somefileonaflashcard.txt

That was assuming that there was some sort of flash or external drive called F: - My mini is on its way, so if it hasn't already been done, I will be happy to do so once it arrives if anyone is interested.

I always like to poke around and see if there are any interesting "goodies" lurking about in software loads.

I would be interested in seeing this, as I have restored XP using the included CDs and the result is different to the factory image.

Yes, I recall the icons were slightly different. Shiny somehow.

After checking out 2 demo units in office works, some differences definitely exist between the factory shipped install and the restore disk install.

The restore CDs dont install:
MCafee trial
Dell Video Chat ( dell webcam application takes you to a DEAD link for download)

there were a few other subtle differences i cant recall now.
