Hi, I just wanted to know what changes you make to a generic Windows Installation. I don't mean installing DirectX, drivers and progs or whatsoever only changes one would make to System files. I'll start with a few examples: *MSconfig.sys: Deactivate everything, but ScanRegistry and LoadPowerProfile. *MSDOS.sys: Logo=0 *Win386.swp: Set Max and Min to the amount of 3 x Installed RAM in MB. (Right click My Computer / Properties / Performance tab / Virtual Memory) * Deactivating Auto Insert Notification (My Computer / Properties / Device Manager / CD-ROM, choose the drive, click Properties, then the Settings tab, and remove the checkmark from Auto Insert Notification.) * Win.ini: Load= Run= (meaning blank after "=") * Autoexec.bat and Config.sys: Rename them, if you don't encounter any problems you can safely delete them. * Reduce the color depth: by right clicking the Desktop / Properties / Settings. "High Color (16 bit)" I think that's about it. Please don't post any of those convenience tips (like "one-click-shutdown" and so on). c u
