I haven't tried it lately so I don't know how that command slipstreams
things into the \i386 directory currently. I know when the first sets of
instructions for updating the \i386 files came out I looked at it and found
all the registry changes were missing, I don't know if that's been
corrected or not.

I also know some of the hotfixes in the past have been just instructions on
how to change a setting, like turning off .htr and .printer file support, I
don't know if that gets done either when you slipstream. But when I looked
last it wasn't happening.
