|Interesting thread. For the word-wrap impaired, it's:

TY & I knew about tinturl but hadnt used it yet- I
shall in future if long url's r a problem.

|Of particular interest in the thread mentioned, the comments on needed
|services running at boot time vs manual startup later:

|I think the point, though, is that it's relatively easy to disable a
|given service to speed up boot time, as that service can (usually) be
|enabled again. Of course, disabling services without checking them
|thoroughly can be almost as bad as deleting registry keys.
MY pont was that by turning 2 services ON
automatic my boot time was reduced by 50%. Yet I'm
running 2 Windows XP's and that is exactly what
happened in both

|As far as competence in dealing with registry keys...I think that's
|relative. I'd like to find a person on this planet that knows what's
|in an XP registry that's been active for over a year. You can check
|out what model disk drives you used back in 1999, etc. Some scarey
|stuff, and it's never going away. You've got to reinstall to truly
|clean it.
I operate there with confidence but rely on others
for what to do. I must have 50 tweaks easy. Reseach I
have done shows that even max bounds on benefits from
optimising it r ridiculously small (<1%) so ur time
would be better spent elsewhere..
Just my 2¢ worth. Larry
Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
