Re: Vista Ultimate 64-bit

I changed settings for several Services - disabling some - etc & made some
trouble for myself.

I did find some tech web pages that suggested how to edit/make large scale
register changes - sounded risky.

Can I return all the Vista/Administrative Tools/ Services back to their
default settings - within Windows Vista - without having to reinstall or
make other drastic choices? I do have backups but failed to note the dates
of changes I made to the settings.

Thanks

I believe that what you want (SP2) is here:

If you would prefer to go through each service and individually reset
it, then what you want it here:

Many thanks - Bill & SIW2 - looks like you both pointed to the best
alternatives - but I'll be obliged to consider them carefully - like the
'Skeptic' in me.

The Blackviper site has been up for years and is the go-to for this
type of thing.

You can print his list of services and use it to manually go through
your services and set them to the default, or use his auto-set file.
