Hi, long time user first time poster here
First of all, thank you "Black Viper" for providing such a complete website for all of us "tweakers". Thank you.
With that said. I'll get to the point:
I've always used the "bare bones" profile for my machine, even before finding your site. But know it's way easier for me because I have created 2 reg files, one with the "bare bones" config and the other one with standard windows services config.
I have 2 questions, the first one is how come the "Service accounts manager" in your services tool (you know the one where you can output a custom reg file to merge with your registry) only has the "automatic option" even though it is perfectly possible to disable it (and even in your guide you have it as disabled in the bare bnes configuration)
Is there a reason for this? I mean, should I re enable it? (I edited the final reg file in order to disable it automatically, because I've never experienced any problems that way) But maybe I'm missing something? Should I reenable the SamSs service?
On the same subject comes my second question, is there a way to actually stop the lsass.exe process? One would think that by stopping the aforementioned service that process should be no more... but it's still there.
I know it's an important core process, but wasn't it controlled by SamSs to begin with?
Also I'm asking that because, I don't know if you've ever tried it, but there's an OS called TinyXP, and it has 14 processes running the first time you boot up the machine while I have 15 in my Original Windows XP Pro "bare bones" installation.
The only process I can think of is lsass.exe, so that would lead me to believe thata it is in fact possible and what's een better, SAFE to disable that process.
Thanks for everything again. And I'll keep coming back and sending all my "tweaker" friends to the best dang tweaking site there is
Oh, And if I ever migrate to Windows Se7en (I doubt it. I hated Vista and now will probably hate se7en) I'll learn about it through your site
