Services Application, such as in windows

In windows xp etc; you can disable services to speed up windows greatly. I am sure there are some unneeded services in windows mobile that we can disable. Wasnt able to find any such app

I make a back up of each service before i disable one.

There are a few locations that you want to check out:

HKLM/Services
HKCU/Software/HTC/Bootlauncher
HKLM/Init

I'm about to write up a thread on this in a few minutes.

Ya let us know as soon as you get that. It will not only improve performance but battery life as well.

With that setup above I have no issues.

also, DotFred's task manager can manage services too, best all-in-one util in my opinion
