In rebuilding my cMP² using 32nm technology I added 2 more advanced optimisations (assuming you have a fully optimised cMP²):
- Autoruns > Services TAB > uncheck:
- Browser (Maintains an updated list of...) - IF not using any network capability
- srservice (Performs system restore...)
Important:
- you must reverse minlogon as Autoruns requires winlogon
- remaining entries are those services left running - ideally you should only have 2: PlugPlay & RpcSs. DO NOT DISABLE OTHER SERVICES USING AUTORUNS! Instead do it normally through control panel > administrative tools.
- Start > Run > gpedit.msc > OK > Administrative Templates > System > double-click "Turn off Autoplay" > select "Enabled" & "All Drives" > OK > Exit.
This stops windows autoplay whenever a USB or disc is inserted. I use this on my normal PCs as Autoplay is slow and a nuisance.

Cics,
Just want to make sure that I understand you correctly. You are saying that Autoruns and gpedit require winlogon so for best sound, this tweak should be used instead on mini login- correct?
Thanks
Geoffrey
Ignore these changes.
The point on reversing minlogon is to get Autoruns to work. Thereafter minlogon is re-applied. Problem is with gpedit as its impact to SQ is significant and needs more understanding. For now avoid it altogether.
Using gpedit affects SQ. Problem is getting to a correct setup for which more time is needed.
I am finding that this group policy area is loading with settings that when modified make wonderful improvements to my system. For instance, there are many other settings called "turn off" or "prevent", etc.. that when enabled really make a substantial improvement. I hope others are playing around here and that this area has not been left unexplored.There are way too many to go through in a short amount of time, but I'm going to keep testing some things and I hope others are too.
Some of those settings are security related. Do you have Minlogon installed?
Let us know of the options you've had success with.
I have minlogoon installed with cmp and latest version of cplay 48/121/tiny.
I'm only starting with what I figured should be safe to change. Some don't make a big difference. I'm just going with my ears, and not trying to figure out what settings should reduce resources:
Computer Config - AdminTemp..
Netmeeting.. Disable remote Desktop sharing=Disabled
Internet Explorer...(starting from the bottom)
Pop-up allow list=enabled (you have to click "Show", then Add", enter any text and click OK before it will let you choose apply Enable).
Turn off pop-up mgmt=Enabled
Do not allow users to=Not COnfigured
Turn off crash detection=enabled
The rest are DISABLED.
Internet Explorer...Internet Control panel
I just set all these to disabled without testing them individually.
Advanced Page..these two set to disabled...
So there are a bunch more folders just in this section and beyond. Let me know if you concur with these and if you see any other low hanging fruit...
Mike
to continue..
Computer Components..Admin..Windows Components..
Disabled everything in:
Task Scheduler, windows messenger, media DRM, Movie Maker, Windows media player
On internet explorer (main folder) I changed everything to disable but "turn off crash detection".
Backing out into the Printers folder, I disabled everything there.
there are some folders like netorking or offline folders I might try next..although some of these folders start to sound dangerous to modify.
I am getting a much more realistic sound that is getting closer and closer to real instruments. my hardware will eventually be my limiting factor, but I'm sure some other of you would find this area of improvement to be really impressive.
on my regular machine.
Tell us more about your new configuration.
I am in the process of building a bunch of linear supplies for the music computer. Can't wait to hear what it does.
I will start with just P4, which I know from trying battery power does make a big difference. Though I do wonder as you have speculated that this has as much to do with being separate than the fact that it is linear. The battery does lack practicality and has too much voltage that I could not find a good way to "lose".
Once acclimated (again) I will add the other supplies. I should mention that I will power JULI@ and its accompanying i2s "sender card" from K&K AUDIO with a dedicated 5 volts supply. I would like to go direct with the 3.3 volts but the "sender card" has to be powered by the same supply for some reason and the K&K card needs 5 volts.
We'll see ...
Bye,
Rick McInnis
