manpe Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If you care more about performance than minor whistles and details, then the next guide helps you to do that.1. Turn Windows features on or ofOpen Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features Pick from the sidemenu Turn windows features on or offThen you can see a Feature list, where you can disable unnecessary optionsIf you aren't sure what you can disable, then you can peek into the box which appears when you hold the mouse over it. Generally it is recommended to clean up the list, except for these thingsXPS Viewer (under .NET Framework 3.0l) Remote Differential Compression (a network optimizer) Windows Ultimate Extras I left on Windows games also.This won't remove those features completely, it will just disable them, saving resources.2. Unnecessary services offStart(if you use vista menu, then write into search services.msc, if you use classic start menu, then run services.msc)To turn off the feature, right click on it, select Properties and disabledServices you can safely disableComputer Browser Distributed Link Tracking Client IKE and AuthIP IP Keying Modules Offline Files Remote Registry Tablet PC Input Service (unless you're using a tablet PC) Windows Error Reporting Services you must not disableMultimedia Class Scheduler Plug and Play Superfetch Task Scheduler Windows Audio Windows Driver Foundation Services which are most commonly disabledDFS Replication Computer Browser Distributed Link Tracking Client IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules IP Helper IPsec Policy Agent KtmRm for Distributed Transaction CoordinatorOffline Files Remote Registry Secondary Logon Security Center (Use caution if you disable security services!) SSDP Discovery Tablet PC Input Service Terminal Services Windows Defender (Ditto the above warning!) Windows Error Reporting Service If something won't work after disabling a service, then reopen the service, which is needed.3. Default Windows startup programs – think carefully what you really needStart(if you use vista menu, then into search msconfig, if you use classic start menu, then run msconfig) In the opened windows choose startup and look at the list, remove the tick from the programs you don't need to startup by default and click ok.4. Disabling details and and effectsChanging the appearance - right click on desktop and choose personalize/theme and from there Windows classicRemove the sidebar - although you can run cool things on there, it still eats resourcesGraphical effects off - Control Panel/Performance and System Tools and in the opened window choose Adjust Visual Effects and then Adjust best performance (you can tick the things which you want, but I'm sure not everything is necessary though)5. ReadyBoostReadyBoost is an interesting thing, which uses USB Flash device on Windows to gain extra power.Connect your USB flash device, search it(Removable Disk), left click properties and in the opened window choose ReadyBoostThe information has been gathered using Google, and testing it myself.Good luck speeding up your computer !

SacredCultivator Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have yet to make the switch over to Vista just cuase I don't realyl need to at the moment.. But I was wondering if there happens to be a Registry Tweak that you can just 'double click' and have it sorta 'tweak' your system. As I have one setup for XP, although I still have ot do a few manual tweaks, but having a .reg file at hand makes thigns much, easier so I was curious if there happens to be one.As I have no rush to really upgrade to Vista at any time, as it won't serve me any beneficial gain.But thanks for the guide seems a bit similiar to XP.
