Save Hard disk space after SP1 install

---

Hi,

Just for everyone to know this trick: After SP1 install, you lose a few gig of disk space.

If you want to keep SP1 permanently, use the command:
vsp1cln.exe

You will recover 800 Mb or more.

You cannot uninstall SP1 afterward, except if you reset vista part using Shift+F3

Thank you for posting this tip.

Excellent. I you am pleasing. Sorry for my english.

3. Users will be prompted a question whether to keep Vista SP2 permanently in the system.
4. Once users type “Y” and press enter, the system will start performing the windows components clean
