Great! I'm going to have a look! Thanks!

 

The screen shot at Major Geeks of the program makes it look pretty versitile.

 

Yes. it took just 3 seconds downloading!!! And it's light and quite convenient to use. It's a tweak in fact. I like the idea that it would disable many useless talkative applications that slow down the machine... like Media Player and all its control features. But it does even more...

 

It looked like it would be pretty handy.

 

Here's a screenshot of what you get when you launch it:
(these are the default settings)

 

It is worth a cookie bigc!!!

 

Looks like a good app. Can you undo the tweaks if it messes something up? Never mind. I'm blind as a bat I just say there was a way to save before you mess with it and a way to reloaded what you saved.

 

i have been useing it for a while and it seems to do what it says it will.

 

Yes you can. I have all the "Services Options" checked. See screen shot, up left. I went to Window Updates for a test and they did not work (of course, they were all disabled!), then I unselected all services in order to allow the updates and they worked: I could download the updates. I reboot my pc, then checkmarked all "Services Options" again save "Disable Internet time Synchronize", So yes you can undo the tweaks safely!

 

It really did turn out to be a pretty fair little program.

 

Absolutely! light and friendly to use!

 

Are you certain that this is not a Knoppix .iso?

 

Well now what's my little program doing here ? by my I mean... I'm using it. Been a user since 1.3 Works like a little charm!
