DO you think Task Scheduler is safe to disable on my vista?

To run Vista you'd need at least 2 gigs of RAM anyway. If you don't, then you really shouldn't be running Vista in the first place IMO.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Here's a clue: There's probably a good reason Vista won't let you disable it via the Services admin snapin.
I say probably, because it IS a Microsoft product after all.

well thats why i was asking i was seeing if anyone knew anything else or has done it

If disabling it via services.msc is disabled, it is not safe to disable that service...

coming from you....id take that advice..... heres something else thats been bothering me....i read if i turn of tcp auto tunning it can increase the speed of copying over files over a network and increase internet speed and fix slow downloads....well at the same time if i do that makes the RWIN go back to a small default which can effect the internet......so idk rather to have it on or off if you need links jsut ask

Personally I have it turned off, since it tends to slow RDP connections to certain versions of windows to a crawl.
|
do you get any slow download or pc internet speeds?

Well, from my experience, turning it off had no impact on normal internet activity, such as browsing websites or downloading files. Remote Desktop connections suddenly worked properly without lag, and a few other applications which perhaps didn't get along with auto-tuning *seemed* to run faster, although not by a great deal.
The one scenario in which I have noticed a difference is transferring large files over my LAN. Disabling auto-tuning does impact speed here, but the difference is not massive, and unless you regularly transfer 200mb+ files over your LAN I don't think it will ever be an issue. The fact this goes slower is not surprising, since this is exactly the sort of thing auto-tuning was designed for.
One thing you can do if turning it off causes problems is create two shortcuts, one to disable it, and the other to enable it. That way, when your running something that needs it turned off you can simply click the disable shortcut, and when your done click the enable one. I used to do this when I first turned it on, but I stopped doing it when I noticed nothing seemed any slower with it disabled.

Nope, you can just create a bog standard shortcut. Create a shortcut to cmd.exe (type cmd as the target when creating it), then once it's created open it up and change the target from
to
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Also, set the shortcut to run in admin mode, or it won't work.
(Only reason for using cmd as the shortcut target to begin with is because it's quick to type in, you can modify any shortcut like this).
For the enable shortcut, do the same thing but set the target to
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
instead
(NB: To set the shortcut to run as admin, choose 'Advanced' from the Shortcut tab and tick the option for running as administrator. You won't be able to do it through the compatibility tab as the shortcut goes to a protected exe)

Personally I find leaving it disabled by default is the best option for me, but it really depends how often you run programs that need it disabled.
|
well what kind programs are those? what i basically do is online games,bit torrent downloading programs and anything else internet related...networking...real vnc etc etc
