In Reply to: RE: CMP on XP Home Edition posted by jackwong96 on December 27, 2011 at 04:13:25
Using XP pro, I have done a few of the registry tweaks, minlogon, and removed some but not all drivers, noguiboot etc etc....
I also added the /safeboot:minimal switch to the boot ini file.
I also removed a few services from the safeboot registry.
I use a USB SPDIF converter using the ploytec driver.
The sound is better using the safeboot option. But I know my os is not as tweaked as some of you guys. Perhaps someone else can boot into CMP running in safe mode, on home or pro, and see if it sounds better for you also.
Now when I start CMP taskmanager says I use about 34Mb of RAM, about 900 Handles and about 90 threads. I can give exact numbers tomorrow if interested.

This is useful for no tweaked non-cMP2 systems. cMP2 users already have disabled or removed (in registry) unnecessary services.

My cMP2: Windows XP SP2 Ru, GA-H55M-UD2H, i3-530, Corsair CM3X160C9DHX 1GB, system drive - Transcend IDE FLASH MODULE TS2GDOM40V-S FAT32, ESI Juli@, full linear PSU, NAS - WD My Book Live
This is useful for [ untweaked ?] non-cMP2 systems.Agreed - but it also suggests a very quick way of demonstrating that "slimming" is, despite claims by many a guru on this forum and elsewhere, a worthwhile exercise.
Folk who find that the tweak offers no change need bother themselves (or anyone else) no further.

You said '...I also added the /safeboot:minimal switch to the boot.ini file. I also removed a few services from the safeboot registry...'
Just so I understand add /safeboot:minimal to the boot.ini file? Is that right? Also which services did you remove from the safeboot registry and how do you do that?
Yes you are correct, just add safeboot:minimal to your boot ini file.
To edit your safeboot registry entries:
Start> run > type regedit hit enter
find and open the folders: Hkey_local_machine > system > control > safeboot minimal.
I intended to delete; Help SVC, SR Service, Crypt SVC, RPCSS, Dcom Launch, winmgmt. But actually there were at least two of these that I didn't delete. Sorry my memory isn't able to tell you which ones exactly I deleted.
Perhaps someone else can advise if its safe to delete all of the above?
And perhaps any others that can be deleted.
Before deleting, I right clicked each service and exported (and saved) it as a .reg file so I could double click and re-instate the service in case I made a mistake.
