Guess I got a little carried away.
Each of the items carries significance, but takes understanding. Take
for instance, stopping unnecessary Services. Just because someone
tells you , you don't need Service, don't go and "disable" them in an
Obsessive Compulsive manner. Do one, write it down, work with a
while, while you are trying to understand what it it's purpose is to
begin with.
I been doing NT since the day 4.0 hit the street and missed 3.51,
which had many basics that really didn't understand what I didn't
understand.
And I'm a Noob.
Man I am Maniac (and these double use words and so close sound
alikes)
