Turn Off Unused Windows Features
This tweak works by turning off unneeded windows features as well as improving performance by shutting down Remote Differential Compression (RDC). RDC monitors changes in files in order to transfer them with minimum compression over a network, thus eliminating the transfer of an entire file which has been already moved. This can hinder system performance.
- Press Start/Control Panel/Classic View and select Programs and Features;
- Choose Turn Windows Features On and Off;
- Unselect 'Indexing Service, Remote Differential Compression, Tablet PC Optional Components (if you don't want Snipping Tool), Windows DFS Replication Service, Windows Fax & Scan (unless you use Fax through a modem) and Windows Meeting Space.
DFS Replication duplicates files for use among multiple PCs in a network and keeps them in sync. Its not very useful on a stand alone.
