EneergE Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) I just downloaded the SIW System Information tool from gtopala.com and I was looking around in it.I came to drivers and noticed I had quite a few drivers that were loaded (ACTIVE) that I really didn't need. Sr.sys (System Restore Driver) and Srv.sys (another System Restore Driver).I have completely disabled System Restore in services and it shows that the service is NOT running. However, the driver is still loaded into the system. I could possibly reduce my bootup time even further (I think) if i can prevent it from loading these drivers, but I do not know how to change the settings.In SIW, "Sr" is listed as:Type: FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER Status: ACTIVE Start: BOOT_START"Srv" is listed the same, except "Start" is set to "DEMAND_START" and it is also "Active".The "start" configuration is the one I'm trying to change. I want to change this to "Disable", but I do not know how to get to the setting. Like I've said, I've disabled system restore in services.msc, but the driver is still loaded.I appreciate any info anyone can provide. I have a few other drivers I've noticed I don't need that's loaded as well. Getting rid of them could help some.Thanks,EneergEEdit: I found Sr.sys and Srv.sys in regedit and there are a few keys with them, but they are not strings, so I wouldn't know how to edit. Here's the info:Sr.sys:0Data: 52 04 28 0a 01 00 05 00 00 00 28 0a 01 00 05 001Data: 57 a3 72 1d 8e 92 8f ce 2a ec ca b2 4b 1e 0f 2dHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\MUILanguages\RCV2\sr.sys Edited April 18, 2007 by EneergE
