ZeDMaN Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi Guys,Is there any real difference in disabling v/s removing a service completely with vLite? I mean in terms of Memory consumption, CPU cycles etc?? For e.g let's say I disable the superfetch service, does it have the same effect as if I have removed the service completely with vLite?Any insight on this… especially from Mr nuhi. B) Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joll69 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 from what i've seen, there's no difference in regard to cpu/mem usage whether you disable or remove a specific service. If you just disable the service, it will still take up disk space, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 There is a difference. Just try to delete some of the dlls of the disabled service, most of them are still used. Maybe not actively running which is good, but still parts can be loaded and locked. I don't feel good knowing that Remote Registry service disabled or not is in my OS.

aviv00 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) for my opinion there are no diff@ nuhi maybe its windows protection file ?[and why the hell all the Posts dont showed up ? ] Edited December 11, 2007 by aviv00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 aviv00, nah, the DLL was definitely locked by usage.Try it yourself in virtual machine. I even had to keep some dlls because other services would break. They all load each other, it's a total mess.Btw what posts, no one deleted anything from here.

Legolash2o Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) and why the hell all the Posts dont showed up?You mean all the other posts at the bottom and have to click on them to see them.... go to options at top and select standard.@ NuhiShame about the service DLL's in a mess, i've always wanted to remove ICS but keep Windows Firewall lol.@Everyone a.k.a On TopicEveryone is different some people don't remove any services and just disable them... more for compatibility reasons if it they need it then its there. Other like myself remove them as i know i will never ever need them.Advantages of removing them using vliteQuicker install timeComputer easier to maintainDon't have to disable all services everytime you reinstallSome removals can make your computer more secureLess clutterBetter performance - as nuhi said some dll's are still in use even when service disabledDisadvantages of removing with vliteIf you need that perticular item, then you have to re-run vlite keeping the things you need and reinstall.Can cause some compatible problems, but can be fixed in next version of vlite.If anyone can add anymore then please do Edited December 11, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhi Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 aviv00, yeah the same. More files can be removed in Vista because there is no actual setup (just image extraction, hw detection and unattended passes) so less files are needed for that process. But there are a lot more components so that advantage isn't obvious so far.legolash2o, nicely put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
