Thanks loony, this is actually much faster than FSautostart... I have it setup on my PC now and my FPS are back pegged at 85 (screen refresh rate).  I am sick and tired of norton updating etc... and FSautostart did NOT shut it off from updating.

You still had many unnecessary services running, even the notorious indexing service which is nothing but a huge resource hog.

Indexing service should always be the first service to get rid of. ;)

Themes are also a huge resource hog.

I've got a second profile for AH. I still go into Taskmanager and kill some running processes though. I'll also set the processor priority for AH to high. I just got a new machine a couple of weeks ago with much better performance but I still do all of the above most times, especially when I plan to be driving a GV.
