Thanks Cluberti, but that doesn't seem to work! The description for the two WINNT.SIF settings are as follows; DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes This tells Windows XP to use the Classic Start Menu, and displays the My Computer, My Documents icons as well as others on the Windows Desktop. If set to No, then the default Windows XP Start Menu is used. DefaultThemesOff = Yes This tells Windows XP to use the Classic Theme. Note: This option overrides CustomDefaultThemeFile option when set to Yes. Are you sure they should result in the best performance setting within visual effects? The strange thing is when XP loaded the effects were stiil active, so I went to the visual effects tab in system and as I sat there wondering why all the boxes were ticked, they suddenly all unticked themselves!!! although I still had to press apply before the effects were actually deactivated. In nlite I have ticked to deactivate all of these settings but with no joy, which is strange as all the other tweaks I have done in nlite have worked. The registrytweakage programme Clavicle linked to doesn't appear to contain these visual effect tweaks. Can anyone guess what might be going wrong?

I'm very confused now!! I applied a lot of tweaks in Nlite but when I test the iso in Virtual PC they don't all appear to have worked. None of the visual effects seem to have been deactivated!! Could someone point me in the right direction here please

Great, that covers all of them except for use visual styles on windows and buttons. Any ideas on how to deactivate them?

Does anyone know how to disable visual effects in XP for best performance? I have searched through many registry tweaks on the site and searching under visual effects on the site doesn't seem to get me any further. Any ideas boys and girls?

Hmmm, anyone?? Just a little point in the right direction would be hugely appreciated

Hi there guys, really hoping someone can tell me how to do a silent install of Avid HD 5.2 and photoshop cs2. I have spent a couple of days trying to work it out but to no avail! I am also a little confused as to what all the switches like /s and /qn mean. Could anyone shed some light for this poor noob! Kind regards ClownShoes
