For further optimization, I suggest that you deactivate the design-time packages that you never use (this has no relation with .NET, but it's always useful in order to save memory and load time):
- Run Delphi 2005 and go to Component->Install Packages...
- Uncheck all those packages that you never use. I use to leave "Borland Standard Components", "Borland Database Components" and little more.
- Check the Default checkbox and click OK.
NOTE: You can activate/deactivate packages as many times as you want. Just be aware that the IDE always give more precedence to HKEY_CURRENT_USER than to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. i.e.:
if (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0 exists) then
it is used (and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0 is ignored)
else
it is copied from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Borland\BDS\3.0

That's it! Now you have Win32_ONLY Delphi 2005!
