What processes/services/background tasks are recommended for Windows 2000 to make it run like an absolute dog??

Fatman

You want it to run like a dog? Enable them all - and switch them onto Startup=Automatic, so the maximum are running at once from bootup.

I particularly like the Indexing service as a beautiful way of unecessarily slowing a system to a crawl.

Sounds like someone wants to justify an upgrade to their boss!!

outlook and 15 copies of word always does the trick.

Of course you could always register SETI as a service. That'll use all available CPU power. It'll throttle back if other apps need the resources, but is good for effect.

Im sure there's something called go-slo which slows CPUs down.

You wouldn't happen to know where I can get this? Google searches have returned nothing.

http://www.cpukiller.com is just what I need, you can slow the CPU by factors of 1%.

But does anyone know how to hide an application which is running??

Gedi

from my past experience of writing software like this, the it needs to be coded in the app. There is no way to hide them from the task list otherwise. But then again, I don't use windows, so I could be wrong.
I have some nice homemade trojans if you want to try it out

Do you think your trojans would be detected by AntiVirus?
