Has anyone used Black Viper's suggestions to optimize services under Windows 7. I will image my version of Windows 7 tonight and try using some of Viper's tweaks tomorrow.

Black Viper's Windows 7 Ultimate services ~ Updated: March 17, 2009 is a good place to learn about services that's running on your system, this website is highly Recommend from one of the best in Computer magazines "Maximum PC" check out the Free issues in PDF Format. PC Gamer Recommends this site Too and Leo Laporte yes Leo from The lab or Call for help show that's hosted on g4techtv so give it a try but don't disable services that's need by the OS, under stand each service before disabling. I myself managed to get the OS little under 360MB "Tip" Remember theres also Task Scheduler that start's tasks set in the Scheduler so let the OS rest for like 5Mins or so hope this helps! :geek:

Thanks for adding your comments. I have disabled a few services but I'm quite leery of disabling any services which have RPC as a dependency. From what I remember that hosed my Vista installation a year or so ago.

The Black Viper site is indeed worth looking into.

This is also one of the few services that you cannot disable via the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC), nor can you change the state with a registry patch. Previously, if you disabled this service in Windows 2000 Pro SP4-, your computer would become unbootable.

This happen to me "Never Disable Remote Procedure Call (RPC) No Matter What" sorry for not putting this out there.

Remote Procedure Call Locater (RPCL) "Never Disable No Matter What"
DHCP Client "Never Disable No Matter What" if you want Internet Auto setting is the best. Any other service should be ok but check Viper's frist your PC should be ok. :geek:

Well, like I said, there are many tweaks he offers but you need to use them according to your needs. For me, I avoided the ones for wireless networking as I'm on a home based wireless network.

If you still feel uncertain, do one tweak at a time and see if it works. If not, move on to the next. If there is, just reverse the tweak. It is that simple. But always back up your registry before you dive in for the first time.

same here, and for those I do NOT need I can't see why I should switch them from manual to disabled, at least not for reasons of performance.
Or is there any?

Btw, my first post here, please excuse my bad grammar/spelling I am neither a native speaker nor a IT-pro, but I enjoy reading the threads here a lot, nice forum!

Hi ja1lb0t and welcome to Se7en Forums :party:

I don't normally change any of my services settings unless there is a specific reason for doing so. Black Viper's site is a useful reference site that goes into depth about the function of Windows services, how they interact with each other and the consequences of disabling a particular service.

Well, yes, some good infos on services, and yes, I also normally don't alter them (anymore),BUT it took me quite some time (the last two years actually) and messed up weekends to learn that I belong to the "5%" minority of his "95%" SAFE configurations :cool:

hi! me again :D

i used that guide too. So far it hasn't messed up anything, that i didn't do myself (i fried my registry the other day) i sugguest you read carefully, the names of the services, or you'll wind up wondering why disk-defrag doesn't work, and stare at the troubleshooter for 2 hours like a jackass .... but enough about me, lol

Keeps going, and going, and going.......
I used to be a services tweaker... but I recovered. Now I ignore all these tweaking sites, or at best go read them and laugh. While I think Black Viper does a superb job, I love reading his "99.99% of people don't need this service" and thinking "well, I do and so does everyone I know..."
 

My Computer

OS
Windows 7
I think with Windows 7 the number of services that are set to automatic is set as low as possible by default.

As the other possibly required services are set to manual they will be started as they are needed.

If you use a service all the time that is set to manual start there is a case for setting this to automatic.

I cannot see the need to disable a service set to manual as it should never be started and therefore should not use resources

Black Viper Tweaks

I tweaked my services last night using his Windows7 RC recommendations

won back about 150 megs RAM and a noticable boost in start up time - so far no problems...

I would say use with caution and read the infos carefully, and you can´t go wrong.
