You might also try BartPE, which is a PE + plugins to run any number of
additional apps.

There are also a couple of commercial ones such as ERD Commander.
I am going to give BartPE a try if I can find a computer with Windows
XP on it to make a copy with.
It looks like I am going to be getting a piece of hardware that will
require Windows to update/upgrade once or twice a year. I am going to
see if the software will run in Wine but I doubt it as it requires
control of a comm port.
