Found this site with a really close feel to Blackviper's old site. It has vista reg tweaks and such.

No need to have a copycat as BlackViper is back, with Vista tweaks coming soon.

Excellent



and excellenter.

Thanks and thanks.

Thanks for posting.

eeeeep!!! Blackviper woo glad to see it's back in all it's glory

Eeek!

BlackViper lovers...


FYI, most of BV info, mainly on xp sp2 services, is completely wrong.
He basically tells people to shut down services because "they are bad..."
There are no logical reasons behind his claims, nor does he need to give them apparently.


Guess people really love to shut down (cripple) services just for the "fun" of it...

FYI,
You don't know what you're talking about!

Seems BV's got a big flock of followers nowdays...

Whenever I've used his guide, it has had explanations of what each service did and cautions about disabling it though, so I'm not sure where you got that from.

You are really talking out of your backside, what are you basing your assumptions on? His site does not pander to noobs!



I could not have stated this more equivocally!

I don't know why this guy has so many fans! There's hundreds of other sites out there that do exactly the same tips ... Blackviper's certainly wasn't the first ...

Claims? These are fully fleshed out descriptions of every service. Its basically a guide to services. Its at the least a good place to find out exactly what each service does.


I dont understand your response, who cares? How about providing some links to others you think are better...Im sure we'd all appreciate that no matter how much we like Bvipe's.

Well actually he was the first to do a very detailed service guide. When his site went down, other sites started to host copies of his guides or did their own. I have visited BlackViper back in XP SP1 days and he was extremely imformative and helpful.

I was just checking a couple of old links and was really surprised this one was still there!!

http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/winxp_services/index.shtml ... (used to be '3dspotlight'), the other one from about the same time is dead though ... http://www.overclockersclub.com/windowsxpservices.shtml ... these may have been the first such guides, certainly the ones I used to use the most!

These were way back before SP1, of course a lot has changed since then ...
