--- Add "Sounds (Default)" to "Recommended" Components for W11
Reason: I think most people want to keep the sounds.

--- Remove "Superfetch" completely from "Recommended" Components
Reason: Doesn't do anything on modern PCs.

--- Remove "Edge Updates" from "Recommended" Components
Reason: The Edge browser isn't categorized as "Recommended" so updates shouldn't either.

--- Add option to disable "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer"
Reason: Super annoying pop-up that most people don't even realize it can be disabled.

--- Add option for the Recycle Bin to enable "Don't move files to the Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted"
Reason: I need it.

Check and uncheck Recommended and add/ remove the mentioned compenents as you wish.
Recommended is not a wishlist but instead protected components to make Windows work.

this you can't coz of Windows Security (defender)/ downloaded files from Outlook and so on.
Instead ad this .reg to NTL for the rightclick menu which disable blocking on folders/ subfolders and files, make latter editable.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblock]
"MUIVerb"="Unblock"
"Extended"=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\unblock\command]
@="powershell.exe Unblock-File -LiteralPath '%L'"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblock]
"MUIVerb"="Unblock"
"Extended"=-
"SubCommands"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblock\shell\001flyout]
"MUIVerb"="Unblock files in this folder"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblock\shell\001flyout\command]
@="powershell.exe get-childitem -LiteralPath '%L' | Unblock-File"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblock\shell\002flyout]
"MUIVerb"="Unblock filers in this and subfolders"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\unblock\shell\002flyout\command]
@="powershell.exe get-childitem -LiteralPath '%L' -recurse | Unblock-File"

Be sure keep powershell for this to work.

For the Recycle Bin change following setting in NTL to:

"Superfetch" should not be removed. You need to use an HDD to store your data securely. Unless you're using a disc. Edge Updates is an important component for updating WebView2. I've found that many AI applications require the latest WebView2. But I also agree to remove it from the recommendation.
 
As i recall - MS EDGE come back with every monthly update - discussed in other posts.
So no point in removing.
Don't no if WebView2 is possible to install and working if MS EDGE is'nt installed, from it's own download:

I use this tweak and I don't have this "blocking" when downloading files via browsers.
Code: 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"UseTrustedHandlers"=dword:00000001
"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001

But I have it when when using Telegram, for example
And I don't have Windows Defender (it's completely removed)
I tested with and without a long time ago (Windows 7 I believe) never tested again since

I removed Superfetch, no HDD on my PCs, only SSDs
 
"UseTrustedHandlers"=dword:00000001 is not a normal part of regedit.
 
These are keys to create, if they do not exist
And there are others to create as needed
 
I could always ask nuhi to integrate it when he has 5 minutes (but before that he has other tweaks to add (todo list)
But it's not more complicated than adding the .reg for the right click menu
 
Thanks for the WebView2 info. You've convinced me to leave the Edge Updates component alone.

Here are two registry tweaks which I use.
I hope that one day they can be added as an option to NTLite.

Recycle Bin Fix.reg
Code: 
; Don't move files to the Recycle Bin

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRecycleFiles"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRecycleFiles"=dword:00000001

Do NOT Block Downloaded Files.reg
Code: 
; Disables "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer."

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments]
"SaveZoneInformation"=dword:00000001

I deal with Edge in two ways, to prevent reinstalls after it's removed from the ISO:

1. I disable feature updates, period. I only get security updates. I don't do this just because of Edge but simply because I don't want any feature updates to avoid any surprising and undesireable changes to my OS. MS rarely adds anything of interest or any value to me in those updates. I simply build a new ISO every year or two with all current updates integrated, remove unwanted crap and then no more updates until the next ISO. I keep an eye on news and blogs. If there is a useful update I'll get it manually from the MS Update Catalog or I use WAUManager to install windows updates selectively.

2. I also use Process Lasso to kill microsoftedgeupdate.exe whenever it pops up.

I keep WebView2 and I update it once after a fresh install. This downloads Edge installation files indeed but it doesn't actually reinstall Edge itself (there is no Edge in the Start Menu). Once WebView2 is updated I delete the Update folder and the Edge Core folder and re-able Process Lasso control. I never get Edge reinstalled.
