Making TC lite version

[unkwaakb]

I already did my TC folder look like this and it works on Win7:
CABRK.DLL
TC7Z.DLL
TC7ZIPIF.DLL
TCMDLZMA.DLL
TCshareWin10.dll
TCUNZLIB.DLL
UNRAR.DLL
UNRAR9X.DLL
WCMZIP32.DLL
NOCLOSE.EXE
SHARE_NT.EXE
TCMADMIN.EXE
TCMDX64.EXE
TCUNINST.EXE
TcUsbRun.exe
TOTALCMD.EXE
WC32TO16.EXE
TOTALCMD.INC
WCMICONS.INC
SFXHEAD.SFX
Wincmd.ini

I don't use CAB archives, Share function and some features.

Can I safely delete these files:
CABRK.DLL
TCshareWin10.dll
UNRAR9X.DLL
SHARE_NT.EXE
TcUsbRun.exe
WC32TO16.EXE
and leave theese
TC7Z.DLL
TC7ZIPIF.DLL
TCMDLZMA.DLL
TCUNZLIB.DLL
UNRAR.DLL
WCMZIP32.DLL
NOCLOSE.EXE
TCMADMIN.EXE
TCMDX64.EXE
TOTALCMD.EXE
TOTALCMD.INC
WCMICONS.INC
SFXHEAD.SFX
Wincmd.ini
?

Can I also safely delete INC files and NOCLOSE.EXE, TCMADMIN.EXE, TCMDX64.EXE and leave theese:
TC7Z.DLL
TC7ZIPIF.DLL
TCMDLZMA.DLL
TCUNZLIB.DLL
UNRAR.DLL
WCMZIP32.DLL
TOTALCMD.EXE
SFXHEAD.SFX
Wincmd.ini
?

In the descript.ion file (that you already removed) are the descriptions of what each file is used for.
In Total Commander you can make these descriptions visible through Menu:Show > Comments.
This makes it much easier to decide which files to keep.

FWIW, my setup looks like this (TC 9.12 x64):

Code: Select all

fsplugin.ini
NO.BAR
TC7Z64.DLL
TCLZMA64.DLL
TCUNZL64.DLL
TOTALCMD.CHM
TOTALCMD.INC
TOTALCMD64.EXE
UNRAR64.DLL
VERTICAL.BAR
vertical.br2
WCMICON2.DLL
WCMICONS.DLL
WCMZIP64.DLL
WINCMD.INI

There is also a plugins folder (with some plugins) and
a _PARK folder where I moved all the files I considered not needed (so far so good .. )

Is it really lite? Can you compare size in your version with standard install (single language) size?

I don't recommend deleting the .inc files and wcmicons.dll

It makes sense for slow RDP via GPRS. We have bad connect.

I guess that depends on whether TC only opens those dll's on demand or not. Since you can run TC without them, is seems that TC does not open them unless needed to, so there is no reason to delete them at the source.

What makes sense? Deleting the smallest files? Deleting files which are loaded to memory only when called? Deleting files which aren't transmitted via RDP? Do you know how RDP works?

You can use UPX to compress unsigned executable (exe and dll) files if you want to have smaller size, but do you know what data are sent by RDP?

Total and all users file are in network drives. Rdp server booted of live-cd needed to virus protection. The less files - the more quickly sfx rar starts.
Just say what else I can safe remove, please
