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

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!

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!

Eeek!

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 ...

    • I disagree here sorry. The majority of their customers are corporations who are locked in to their eco system and have no choice. Private individuals don't contribute that much to their income.
    • Weekend PC Game Deals: Anno 117, Final Fantasy VII, Rematch, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Weekend PC Game Deals is where the hottest gaming deals from all over the internet are gathered into one place every week for your consumption. So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9. Hopping up a step to the $12 tier gets you TR-49, Expelled, and A Highland Song for paying at least $12. If you go for the $20 tier, you get four e-books from the Heaven's Vault series. The bundle has almost three weeks on its counter before it goes away.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
