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

www.speedyvista.com

eeeeep!!! Blackviper woo :) glad to see it's back in all it's glory (Y)

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...

Eeek!

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!

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 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 ...

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.

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 ...

    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
