Title: Optimizing Performance in Virtual Machines
Post by: Paulonius on March 19, 2010, 06:56:35 AM

I don't have a lot of information on the subject, but figured maybe collectively we can put together enough information to create a good resource.  I plan on doing some research in the next week or so and I will consolidate that with whatever folks post here into the lead post.

I once found this script somewhere and have been using it ever since. There are probably more services in Windows XP that could be shut off to increase performance.

@echo -- ... Stopping "Help and Support" service
net stop "Help and Support"
@echo -- ... Stopping "Print Spooler" service
net stop "Print Spooler"
@echo -- ... Stopping "Error Reporting Service" service
net stop "Error Reporting Service"
@echo -- ... Stopping "Task Scheduler" service
net stop "Task Scheduler"

That's a nice 'lil batch file, and don't forget that those and more, can be turned off in msconfig throught the 'run' command.
