With regards to Windows Task Manager however, I've never disabled anything,
at the risk of fowling up. Any guidance with regards to which applications
it is essential to NOT disable would be appreciated.

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

Thanks

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.
