RE: your recommendation of a "Windows Services Manager" you might want to look at this full-featured replacement for M$'s script kiddie-built MMC "snapins". It's not perfect (i'd like to lose the annoying tooltip) but you can drag & drop the column headers and the other, non-services tabs are just gravy.

And since we're on the subject of useful geeky apps these 2 are must-have for me and not well known:
employee monitoring software
Primo is a currently maintained fork of the install monitor / reg monitor: RegShot. There's no website but here's a forum post that talks about it's features - including the improvements just finished (see end of post). And you can D/L the most recent ver here.

AnVir Task Mgr Is one of the 1st things I get running after a fresh install. Startup Monitor, Apps, Services, DLL's, History added to Win Open / Save dialogs, etc, etc, etc. You can see the feature list & D/L is here. There's a Pro ver but the freeware ver does everything I need.

this app looks promising ..i have been using this for a while..
all i can say about is Wow!
what an awesome app. !

i have created ~.reg and ~.bat files for all apps. that leave traces for cleaning after usage :)
 
windows services manager? oh yeah, its a handy little doohickey because it shows hidden and drivers services too, handy for fiddling about. Autoruns is very powerfull and worth looking at :cool:

everything get regged/batted once i know wot werks.
 
i do have cakewalk installed with built in asio driver......... hmmmmmmmmm

by that i mean there is no seperate entry to delete the Asio driver.......

Taking advantage of the subject, which program do you currently use to record audio with multitracks? My father has an old M-Audio sound card with 10 channels if I'm not mistaken, he recorded with Sonar because it was the software my cousin used at the time but I always thought it was very heavy, imagine how much heavier it must be in recent versions. The PC had some problems with the motherboard and it was stopped for a while but I'm wanting to get it working again for him.

For Stereo (2 tracks) he used Sound Forge which I find pretty light in comparison. More recent versions of Sound Forge support multitrack as well but I feel that this is not the focus of Sound Forge and there should be better tools for that.
 
usually nuendo or cakewalk and a rocksmith cable, and if i need to run a vst i run one then. i have used guitar pro for tabbing things down, but for anything solid solid recording instead of rough musings, guitar rig that comes with the native instruments installer. I think NI has the Asio installed with the software too.
 
Thank you, I've heard of these 2 but I don't know them very well. My cousin used Cakewalk a lot too, in this case he used a musical keyboard, he used it for midi if I'm not mistaken.
