Does anyone use this and if so what services are you shutting down?
FSAutoStart, a popular utility for users of Microsoft Flight Simulator
to maximize system performance, has now been released in a new version.
It is a utility not just for Flight Simulator users, but for users of
any application that needs as much resources your computer can offer.
FSAutoStart allows the user the ability to automatically shutdown
services and programs to provide as much resources to running today's
most demanding applications and games.
It also provides the ability to launch selected programs before the
application is launched. Lastly, it can automatically restart those
programs and services previously shutdown, thus bringing the computer
back to its original state.
It also adds some performance enhancing options like Defragment Memory.
How To Use:
· Execute FSAutoStart. The main window will appear and the default
profile will be selected.
· Click on the Services Button. This will display a list of all
services on your computer. Not available on Windows 9x/ME systems.
· Select the services you wish to stop. Click in the action column to
display a drop down list of actions. Available actions are "No
Action", "Stop", and "Stop & Restart". "No Action" will
do nothing. "Stop" will stop the service. "Stop and Restart"
will stop the service, then restart it after the main application has
finished. Click Save to save your settings.
· Click on the Programs Button. This will display a list of all
programs currently running on your computer.
· Select the programs you wish to stop. Click in the action column to
display a drop down list of actions. Available actions are "No
Action", "Stop", and "Stop & Restart". "No Action" will
do nothing. "Stop" will stop the program. "Stop and Restart"
will stop the program, then restart it after the main application has
finished. Click Save to save your settings.
· Click on the Configure button. This will display the configuration
window for FSAutoStart
· Make sure that the path to the application you wish to run is
correct. If it is not, click on the Browse button to find the
application executable.
· You can optionally enter a command line for the application, and set
the priority that the application will run.
· You select to defragment memory before the application is started by
selecting the Defragment Memory check box.
· On XP systems, you can choose for Force Idle Tasks to Execute by
checking the Force Idle Tasks check box (this is disabled on non-XP
systems)
· If you would like to automatically start any software before the
application starts, click on the Add button. You can then browse to the
executable of the program you wish to execute. You may then add any
command line arguments the program may require. Click Save to save your
settings.
· Click Start to begin shutting down services and programs and launch
the application. After clicking start, FSAutoStart will be terminated
and fsasctl (FSAutoStart Control) will start.
· At this point, the process becomes completely automated
· You can create as many configurations as you want by using the
File->New menu option. Select to create a blank configuration or a copy
of the currently loaded configuration. Then browse to the location
where you want your file to reside. All of your profiles will be
available in the list on the main window.
