Nice! This could be great after a few months. I've already tried adding a bit to a few pages, and it works brilliantly.

XooM · Dec 6, 2006

I assume we can post all the old and new techpowerup! hardware reviews as well as the articles to the wikki. Correct?

Yea, I was made aware of this by Jimmy 2004: He added material from these sticky thread posts here in these forums I did...

(The sticky thread(s), because he hit 2 of them I did & was nice enough to credit me as well, that I authored regarding "Securing Windows Services" & "Windows Startup Group & Registry RUN (+ others too) areas: ) :

To this site's know-how base & wiki, here:

=========================

Sticky thread - securing services URL

http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=16097

WIKI Securing Windows Services

http://www.techpowerup.com/reference/Securing_Windows_Services

--------------------------------

Sticky Thread - Registry RUN & Startup Group + more

http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=20911

WIKI Windows Startup Group & Registry "RUN" Areas + others areas of startup

http://www.techpowerup.com/reference/Windows_Startup_Group_&_Registry_"RUN"_Areas

=========================

(And, 'as-per-usual', as I stated in both of the original sticky threads? IF you can find or add points I missed?? Have @ it, & improve them by all means!)

* Pretty cool to see I "made-the-grade" for this site in that capacity as well, above & beyond a 'sticky thread' only!

APK

P.S.=> Thanks Jimmy 2004: It's just good stuff to know... & it works for performance + security!

The latter URL of mine above though, quite a few folks know about, it's NOT original thought totally imo!

(Though I know I have the oldest article out there online there is regarding that & more, it's the writers of the OS for the reghack parts imo mostly for making a TUNEABLE OS FAMILY, moreso than DOS ever was, & older models of Windows, even 9x series, in the NT-based ones we use now)

However, the securing services first one might really be original!

(I say that, because the MS article for it came out AFTER my sticky thread here & other forums (SETI@Home) I put that out some years back... but you don't see it widely practiced & imo, it ought to be)... apk
