Custom Window 7 disc

I have been wanting to do this for a while now. How do I go about making a install disc set up the way I want it to be. With the software of my choice.

So it loads up and it loads with firefox as default browser, avg already installed and things like that.
How is it that I would go about making a disc to do this for me with a fresh install?

win 7 x86
win x64
are the versions im specifically wanting.

I would set up the machine just like you like it and then CLONE it with a program like Acronis True Image.

You would clone it to another hard drive. If and when the time comes - you pop in the new drive in a matter of minutes and off you go.

The problem with what you want to do is that, by the time you want to re-install Windows, all your 'add-on' software will be hopelessly outdated leaving you back at square one.

Nice idea but badly flawed IMO.
