Check out www.speedyvista.com. That site looks awefully similar to blackvipers old site, regarding services, anyway....

He says online creation of registry scripts is coming soon.

Download and run Process Explorer, then post a screenshot of the running processes...

Process Explorer for Windows v10.21

Big memory uses is the superfetch and indexing services if you kill those memory usage will drop drastically. I will be writing a guide on this and post it on the forums of what us OC'ers/Gamers/Home users should keep on and turn off.
