    How can I remove some components from the additional menu to the main menu?
    For example, delete the Edge browser, Cortana and Search from the additional sub-menu in the remove components menu.

    This is what I would like, a total removal; and you can only do it "manually".
    Unfortunately, your tool is designed to be used with Windows 10; and I will try to avoid, as long as possible, to use what I consider a disgusting service pack with serious privacy issues.

    Hi MSMG,

    Your tool is great. One question though, does your software support apps integration like Firefox, Flash, and so on? Thank you.

    I know the toolkit doesn't support this directly, but I've been really curious about this too.

    What is the correct way to go about adding programs to an iso? Isn't there a mount ISO option in the toolkit to help with this? I know there's a mount registry option too. At what point in the process should it be done?

    To add to this question, is it possible to configure preinstalled programs? One of my goals is to have firefox were preinstalled with a few about:config changes, plus uBlock Origin with it's configuration. Are setting changes really something you can only do post install if the ISO is to be hardware agnostic?

    Tried using MSMG Tookit 8 on Windows 8.1 to create a Windows 10 RS1 ISO and on both ocassions got error:
    "Windows Installation Source folder <DVD> is Empty. Please Copy Installation Source files to <DVD> folder".

    Went through Source, Remove, Apply, Build, and Target, but can't create an ISO file.

    Folder "\DVD\sources" contains the folder "en-us" and 6 files, including "setup.exe".

    The messages are not clear, for Source you need to put the files in the "sources" empty folder in DVD folder, there are files created by the script in the same folder, but get the "empty <DVD>" error, or is it "\DVD\sources"?!!

    I only need to remove all components, but three and remove all Metro apps, but four. Probably could use a simpler script that works.

    "You need to copy the Microsoft Metro Apps files to <Packs\Apps\w81> folder."

    Where in the Windows 10 ISO are the Metro Apps I need to copy? What filenames?

    If you go to the first page of this thread, and click on download link for the toolkit (I checked Mega Link) there is a folder called apps. They are in there.
