With regards to Windows Task Manager however, I've never disabled anything,

Is there anyway of saving and booting with these preferences..............
like the "old days" with a boot disk...

Hi John.

I've been using FsAutoStart, and found it really is a nice way of
trimming down XP for flight sim use. I use to while I fly Aces High
on-line with excellent results.

The program will stop programs and services, launch the game, and upon
exit re-starts everything that it stopped. In addition, during the
configuration setup it gives some pretty good advice on what's 'safe'
to stop and what is really needed.

Here's a link

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
