| 135533 | 2003-04-13 21:40:00 | Does anyone know if I'd notice any speed improvement in removing everything that is not needed in the 'system.ini, win.ini and boot.ini' in msconfig? I just removed all the programes from the win.ini with no visable change and all the progs still work OK...(I think) So is there any gain? and if there is what else can I take out..?? Thanks Trev |

| 135534 | 2003-04-13 22:56:00 | Mainly applies to startup times. Also, everything you have started up is another chunk of memory used, which slows things down if your processor is working hard out. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 135535 | 2003-04-13 23:24:00 | I'd just be a little careful with what you are doing (unless you really know what you are doing :) ). Either make backups of those .ini files, or put a semi-colon in front of a command to disable it, else you could end up in the poo. Cheers |

| 135536 | 2003-04-14 11:09:00 | So it is worth it? and I can carry on deleting stuff until something doesn't work and then just put it back (from the back up I make)? I don't really know what I'm doing, but it'd be good to see improvement from my 1300... especially if I don't use the apps that are in there very often and they are taking some resource for nothing. Thanks Trev |
