chewy, you gonna delve into services.msc & hardware profiles? much better than msconfig
personally i leave the indexing service on, its footprint is minimal & only eats cpu when pc is idle. but if you don't think you'll ever need to search files, go ahead & disable |

well disabling indexing will just stop windows from using some cpu during idle time, actually disabling the service at startup, and thus freeing up a small amount of resources, is done by:
1. go start-->run 2. Type "services.msc" and press enter. 3. scroll down the list to "indexing service" & double click it 4. press 'stop' if the service is running, then change startup type to disabled click ok, close |

I figure on losing a lot of noobs along the way here, if they make it just thru the first parts that's OK, they won't be ready for the advanced stuff till later.
As a matter of fact i will encourage them to stop before they get over their heads. |

frequently but it's right before he does it. Msconfig is just another tool to make your computer right. |

the above steps are simple, can be easily reversed (just tick/untick the options again) and can't really do any damage. IMO a backup isn't needed at all

@Chewy I follow your answer but I don't think I am explaining myself properly.I did part #1 and I can already see why.I know there are other things I can use here but they are all attached to my system.What I was meaning with the one touch is using it before anything major to backup my whole system externally just in case then following your education as far as I can go and try to understand.If I don't screw up then fine.When done rebackup my system with revised settings and go from.I wish I could explain this better but I am still a "noob" as far as this is concerned but I want to learn.
I know these ones are but I have been following this thread with interest and you did say it is going to get tougher or is that were I will probably drop out.This is agreat thread chewy thank you for doing this and thanks for your reply anonymez.I just want to be careful.

There's no rush soup! We still have a lot of ground to cover.
You are seeing the effect of these changes? I know it's a lot to learn, but you might as well start. A lot of the video stuff is way harder. Last edited by Chewy; 11 Jan 2006 at 11:27 PM |
