Streamlined profile - minimal running applications

::SYSTEM: Pentium Dual-Core CPU, 2.5GHzWindows Vista 64-Bit, Vista Home
Premium (SP2), 6GB RAM ::

::I created a new profile for video capturing - to have the minimal
running applications running when capturing video. In this case, I will
have less resource consumption. In this profile, I would like to disable
as many applications as possible to be able to use the most capable
resource from the system. When I went to MSCONFIG, in the SERVICES tab,
I know the installed application to remove, but don't know which windows
running applications to stop. I also looked in the STARTUP tab. I
stopped some application (just for testing), but when I log on as
another user, the same disabled applications were also disabled in the
other users. I only would like the selected disables ones be disabled
only on the profile I named \"Video\".::

::How can I achieve my goal here. Thanks in advance!::

You cannot disable systemwide services on a per-user base - simply
impossible.

You can change desktop-settings,restrict controlpanel items and so forth.
But once you go on to disable the underpinnings of the OS, it will affect
every User, Administrator included.

Note that this is not a Microsoft problem but a general OS-design issue. Mac
OS X and Linux included.

If you need a special tweaked OS then go with it and use it for all
purposes.
If you also need a OS with all the bells and whistles : install a second OS
on a seperate partition, so you can boot either into the limited one or in
the full blown.

This scenario of two OS on one PC would require a second Vista license of
course.

On the other hand I wonder why someone with a 6GB Ram machine needs to tweak
it ?

I have 4GB and Vista32 or Vista64 both run ok with leaving everything as is.
The only special attention for the 64bit OS is the JPG-Bug which causes high
CPU-usage, but you can ask Microsoft for the hotfix and then it is cured
from that disease.
