I will hopefully be working with Cache to produce a fool-proof walk through and a disclaimer for this cool application. It's going to save people a lot of time IMO

The copyright will be up to Cache though :?

Like Blizey, when I last formatted I couldn't be bothered going through all of that again. I just used "safe" and system is flying. Thank you Cache!!!!!!!! Brilliant. :wave: :banana: !!

Ummmm, it disabled my network between PC and Laptop....now which do I turn on to get it back? Other than that it's fantastic.

Awesome !

Hi guys.

Well Vidster has already told you he will be making the documentation. I can just add that you will find a full list of the service startup type for each configuration in that link I gave to the Black Viper mirror a few posts back.

http://web.archive.org/web/200411280...servicecfg.htm

Aslo I'll give you a quote about the configurations:

• DEFAULT Home ~ What Bill G. thinks should be running on Windows XP Home.
• DEFAULT Pro ~ What Bill G. thinks should be running on Windows XP Professional.
• "SAFE" Configuration ~ This is the configuration that 95% of the people will be able to use with little or no side effects. It will also minimizes the amount of "errors" that is reported in the Event Viewer. This does not guarantee it will work for you, but if adjusting your services scares you, this configuration would be a good starting point.
• Power User Configuration ~ This is the power user setup. A great way to test this setup is here. This setup is a system that connects through a network (such as a gateway / router) to the internet, provides file and print sharing resources and gaming enjoyment. Some things may not function with this setup. No passwords save. Its use is not for a computer with analog modems or some direct DSL/cable connections. Try the "Safe" Configuration first.
• Bare Bones Configuration ~ This is the super geek setup. A great way to test this setup is here. This setup is a system that connects through a network (such as a gateway / router) to the internet with a static IP address. This system does not provide file and print sharing resources, nor have the ability to print. Its use is not for a computer with analog modems or many direct DSL/cable connections. You can use this configuration for extreme tweaking and testing purposes. Many things may not function with this setup. No passwords save. The Event Log will display "errors" of not being able to start certain services. Built in Windows CDR-RW functions may no longer work. Please do not ask, "How do I fix" questions while using this configuration. The answer will be "Use SAFE." This information's intention is for reference only.

@Tyler: I really don't know a thing about copyright lol.


@Orphelia: Sorry I don't know which services you need.ops: All I know is that I automated a set of predefined actions, really. Hopefuly someone else will know.


Thanks for all the feedback guys, makes me even more glad to have made it.

Cache, I think I know which one it is, and systems are working so well I really don't care. I'll work it out fine.....I'll let you know as well in case this happens to someone else.
