Services - The last time I did a services related article was right
after the release of Service Pack 1 for Windows XP. I
skipped over Vista completely because I didn't use it long
enough to even bother looking at the services. I really like
Windows 7 and think it will have a future lifespan very
similar to what XP enjoyed so I've put together a new
services article devoted strictly to the Windows 7 operating
system. |

Specify Default IE Download Directory -

the default directory where downloads initiated in
Internet Explorer are stored on the system. |

A Faster Start Menu -
This tweak first
appeared when XP was released. I've had a number
of users write and ask if it still applies to
Windows 7. Surprisingly enough, on a clean
Windows 7 Ultimate install the string value
MenuShowDelay is present in the registry with a
default value of 400. I played with the settings
a bit and honestly, I can't see where changing
the value to 0 or a much higher number like 4000
or even 40000 makes any difference at all in
adjusting the Start Menu speed. At any rate, the
original registry edit appears here. Draw your
own conclusion.

System File Checker (SFC) Tool -

- Important Information -
The Elder Geek sites contain many articles and suggestions for
modifying the Windows operating system. I've tried these
tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work,
sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current,
tested backup of all system and data files and understand
how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong.
You can still yell at me, but I assume no responsibility for
your actions and use of the information and disclaim any
legal responsibility for any consequences of such actions. |
