When I run NTLite and remove components from my live Windows 7 Pro installation (or if I make any other changes, using NTLite), and I've neglected to also go through and change any other of NTLite's options, such as the Services options, and then I apply the component removals I've specified in NTLite, the customizations and changes I've made to my Windows Services and Settings are reset, to how they were set, in NTLite.
My assumption had always been that NTLite, when it loads a live Windows install, would check how I have my current Windows options set, and then match them, in the way that NTLite has the live Windows install's options toggled. But, instead, it ignores the in-place customizations of my live install, and then when I apply NTLite's changes, it resets the options of my live install to match the NTLite choices.
More than once, due to my having forgotten this, I've run NTLite for the sake of removing a handful of components from my live Windows install, and have had the Services and Settings of my Windows reset to how they were configured in the context of the unmodified NTLite default settings. This has negated the results of a lot of time and effort I'd spent, on customizing the options in my Windows Services and Settings, and in other Windows areas where options can be changed.
Have I operated NTLite incorrectly? Is there a way that I can run NTLite on a live Windows 7 Pro install, and have NTLite adjust its toggled options to match the changes I've already made, to my live install, so that I can remove a few components from the live install, and use NTLite to apply those changes, without NTLite also changing all my other customized options in my live install to match how they are set, in NTLite's default configuration, without also having to go through all of NTLite's options, and manually change them all, to match the customizations I've already applied (without having used NTLite to do so)?
