can i customize windows me (unattended, ...)?

Sure you can!

-Commanderraf

Yes you can, with msbatch.inf, etc.

Of course why would you ask this, but maybe he means the taskbar its a little bit [censored]:S

whats wrong with the taskbar?

Yeah. Nothing's wrong with ME's taskbar.

You can customize Windws ME with Uberskin. Also Uberskin works with Windows 98.

I don't get it, can someone explain what is so special about all the older OS'es than XP ?'
I'm a newbie so I don't know everything.
I see XP the easiest to customize.

Sorry for my bad English.

Well... the ages before xp could of had a large effect on how we use pcs today. one example would be the development of windows 95 or as we call it- chicago. chicago once had an interesting variation of the taskbar and if used it would of changed how we use computers today.
So to put simply we just find it interesting because it looks cool.

you can but it is very rare to come accross something that is good or not removed from the internet at all. Use to have a copy on an old pc, I recall finding an app that allowed some good visual styles, If I knew I would tell you, really good for windows me. Hate to leave you wondering what it is but keep your eye out. Im sure you get this alot, but I recommend you upgrade to at least win 2000.

win Me was a functuional, almost fully fledged XP, threre's actually no physical imposibility to running programs designed later on, on it, but you may need to force them to.

...also having above pitiful spects, will help, otherwise running them might cause crash (will most certainly cause crash)

Windows Me was just a rush job. Its almost the same as windows 98 except for some various updated drivers and graphics. Also not as stable as Windows 98.

yeah honestly I hated the os, always got bsod, it was really slow and would always freeze. Incompatible with everything now anyway but some just like to toggle with the old os's anyway

I'll have to disagree with this. The thing with ME is that it "can" work very well but it's easy to make it crash the way it is when you have a fresh install. You'll need to tweak ME to make it work.

Of course people will say that 98SE is much more stable, but the thing is, you'll need to invest time to tweak 98SE as well!
Out of the box 98SE won't even recognize USB mass storage devices, nor does 98SE know what to do with compressed folders.

The advantage ME has over XP (and especially 2k) is that it has a much lower footprint. Try putting 2k or XP on a rig with only 128MB RAM, it'll be painfully slow in comparison to a tweaked ME system.
Anyway, why bother with 2k in the first place? A tweaked XP (think:nlite) would have very few disadvantages over any 2k install, not to mention that XP has better support for security fixes.

9x is a good family of OS's to use on older hardware, particularly when you have something with limits like 128MB RAM or lower, 10GB harddrive or lower or a P6 class CPU running at 400Mhz or lower.
