MERRICK Posts: 247	Posted - Thu Oct 04, 2001 10:10 pm  I was wondering, If someone was going to make a stand alone DAW with no intention of ever using the computer for anything else, is there a reference or web site that explains how to strip the O/S (Windows 9 of all registry entries, files, shells etc that are not needed, and would this make the machine more efficient?

It is definitly a speed improvement as there is no IE shell (a real bog down) The system feels more stable as well. However it does not rid me of so many usless things. The Printer shell for example. I would really like to know how to hack this on my own. Even to rid myself of unwanted system files etc.
