Can't you copy the install files to the desktop and run them from there? Either overwrite the XP or install to second partition?
Choose Custom.
Not Windows.old. I mean browsing history. Say I go to C:\windows\temp and then close the window. When I open a new explorer window and hit the drop down on the address bar C:\windows\temp will show up as a place I have been to recently.
In Vista with IE8 the moment I cleared IE8's history Windows Explorer's history was cleared as well. That does not seem to be the case in Windows 7. Now I just have a long list of places I've been to on my drives in the address bar drop down that I want to clear....
Oh, and this PLOP thing. Not going to happen. I downloaded the ISO file and mounted it with Daemon tools. The only thing in it was a BOOT folder. That folder contained an image and another file. Nothing to install...
I installed PLOP without any trouble.
Instructions for XP on the site.
I had to figure it out for Vista/7. Only took a few minutes.
Instructions are right on the site:
Harddisk install using the Windows boot menu (2K, XP and VISTA)
Download the file plpgenbtldr-0.7.zip and extract it.
http://download.plop.at/files/bootmn...nbtldr-0.7.zip
Create a directory like c:\plop. You can use any directory you want.
Copy plpinstc.com and plpgenbtldr.exe to your c:\plop directory
Rename plpinstc.com to plpbt.bin.
As administrator/with administrator rights open a command shell and change to c:\plop
Then start plpgenbtldr
This program searches for the file plpbt.bin In the current directory.
plpgenbtldr generates the file plpbtldr.bin.
Adding to the boot menu. Windows 2K and XP :
add the line below to your c:\boot.ini
c:\plop\plpbtldr.bin="Install PLoP Boot Manager"
For Vista/7 add it to bcd the same as you would add ntldr.
