Hello ,
WINDOWS XP PRO TWEAKING
-------------------
I'M WRITING THIS BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THERE ISN'T MUCH ABOUT TWEAKING YOUR XP BOX ON HERE. THIS IS MOST USEFULL IF YOU ONLY HAVE SAY 128 OR 256 MB OF RAM. THIS WILL SAVE YOU SOME RAM AND SPEED UP YOUR COMPUTER A LITTLE BIT AND ALSO MAKE SOME THINGS RUN FASTER.
1. TURNING OFF USELESS RUNNING SERVICES
YOU CAN ACCESS THESE SERVICES BY GOING TO START>RUN>TYPE SERVICES.MSC
EACH SERVICE CAN BE SET TO AUTO, MANUAL, OR DISABLED, BUT SOME SUCH AS REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL CANNOT BE STOPPED OR SET TO DISABLED. ALSO,IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A PROGRAM OR PIECE OF HARDWARE INSTALLED THAT NEEDS CERTAIN SERVICES
TO RUN THAN YOU SHOULD LEAVE IT SET TO AUTO. SOME THINGS THAT MAY APPLY ARE UNINTERUPTABLE POWER SUPPLY, SECOND HARDDRIVE, EXTERNAL HARDWARE SUCH AS HARDDRIVE, CDROM, ZIP DRIVE. IN THE FOLLOWING LIST THERE ARE SERVICES AND THEIR SETTINGS, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE EXACTLY OR YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF LOCKED OUT OR WITH AN UNBOOTABLE COMPUTER.

PORTABLE MEDIA SERIAL NUMBER - DISABLE
PRINT SPOOLER - AUTOMATIC
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PRINTER, THEN TURN THIS OFF
IT'S USELESS TO YOU. IT'S ALSO A GOOD HIDEOUT FOR
VIRUSES I FOUND OUT. SO I ALWAYS TURN IT OFF OR TO
MANUAL AND WHEN I NEED TO PRINT, I START THE SERVICE
PROTECTED STORAGE - AUTOMATIC
QOS RSVP - DISABLE
REMOTE ACCESS AUTO CONNECTION MANAGER - MANUAL
REMOTE ACCESS CONNECTION MANAGER - MANUAL
REMOTE DESKTOP HELP SESSION MANAGER - DISABLE
REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL - AUTOMATIC
THERE'S A TRICK TO THIS ONE. RIGHT CLICK ON I AND GO TO PROPERTIES. THEN GO TO THE TAB AT THE TOP THAT SAYS RECOVERY THEN IN THE 3 OPTIONS, CHANGE THEM FROM RESTART COMPUTER, TO TAKE NO ACTION. THEN THAT WAY, IF YOU GET HIT WITH THE BLASTERWORM, YOUR COMPUTER WON'T RESTART EVERY TIME YOU START YOUR COMPUTER
REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL LOCATOR - MANUAL
REMOTE REGISTRY SERVICE - DISABLE
REMOVABLE STORAGE - MANUAL
ROUTING AND REMOTE ACCESS - DISABLE
SECONDARY LOGON - DISABLE

OR MANUAL, OR OFF. THIS ONE IS ALL UP TO YOU AND IF YOUR RUNNING A SERVER OR NOT. I PUT MINE TO DISABLED

WINDOWS MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTATION - AUTOMATIC
WINDOWS MANAGEMENT INSTRUM. DRIVER EXT. - MANUAL
WINDOWS TIME - DISABLE
AFTER YOU DO THIS, YOU MIGHT NEED TO RESET YOUR CLOCK ON YOUR TASK BAR TO THE RIGHT TIME. BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO IT ONCE
WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION - DISABLE
WMI PERFORMANCE ADAPTER - DISABLE
WORKSTATION - DISABLE
SOME YOU CANNOT STOP (REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL).SO IF IT SAYS AUTO IT HAS TO STAY ON AUTO. ON THE OTHER HAND IF IT SAYS DISABLE YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO SET IT AT MANUAL OR AUTO.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE ADVANTAGES OF THE SETTINGS ABOVE BUT KEEP YOUR DEFAULT SETTINGS YOU CAN CREATE DIFFERENT PROFILES.ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GO TO HARDWARE
PROFILES, WHICH IS LOCATED WHEN YOU RIGHT-CLICK ON MY COMPUTER AND GO TO PROPERTIES-HARDWARE-HARDWARE PROFILES.CLICK ON THE PROFILE THAT IS THERE AND
CLICK COPY.CALL THE NEW PROFILE DEFAULT AND THEN COPY IT AGAIN AND CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WANT. THEN GO TO START-RUN AND TYPE SERVICES.MSC AND FOR EACH SERVICE DOUBLE- CLICK AND GO TO LOGON AND CHANGE EACH SERVICE TO WHAT YOU WANT.
REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU DISABLE SOME SERVICES, YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT BACK. WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON TO USE PROFILES INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE PROFILE THAT IS ALREADY THERE.
2. STARTUP PROGRAMS
GO TO START>RUN>TYPE MSCONFIG
GO TO THE STARTUP TAB.EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS START UP WHEN YOU START XP. SOME, PROBABLY MOST NEED NOT TO START UP AT ALL UNTIL YOU USE THEM REGULARLY. THE BOX BESIDE EACH ONE HAS A CHECK MARK IF IT STARTS. UNCHECK THE BOX TO DISABLE THEM FROM STARTING WHEN WINDOWS DOES. RULE OF THUMB-IF YOU DON'T
USE IT REGULARLY THAN UNCHECK THE BOX. NOT MUCH DAMAGE CAN BE DONE HERE AND IN THE CASE OF ANY PROBLEMS JUST GO BACK IN AND CHANGE IT BACK.
AND IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH WINDOWS REGISTRY, THEN YOU CAN ALSO DO THIS
GO TO START>RUN>TYPE REGEDIT
CLICK HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
AND IN THERE, YOU CAN DELETE ALL THE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO START UP WHEN WINDOWS STARTS. BUT REMEMBER, SOME OF THEM YOU WANT TO START UP BECAUSE THEY CAN BE FOR YOUR VIDEO CARD DRIVERS, SOUND CARD DRIVERS, ETC. BUT MOST DON'T NEED
TO BE RUNNING SO YOU CAN DELETE THE KEYS ON THE RIGHT THAT YOU DON'T WANT.
WELL THAT SHOULD BE A LOT TO GET YOU STARTED. IF YOUR NOT WORRIED ABOUT HAVING TO FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER AND KNOW HOW, THEN FEEL FREE TO DO SOME EXPERIMENTING
BUT DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU DO SOMETHING TO CRASH YOUR BOX. JUST USE COMMON SENSE WHEN MESSING WITH THINGS. I'LL POST MORE XP TIPS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
JUST A QUICK NOTE. I'VE USED THESE METHODS ON ABOUT 25 COMPUTERS, AND THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THINGS FOR ALL OF THEM. SOME DIFFER DEPENDING ON HARDWARE, BUT NOTHING
SERIOUS.
