Makes no difference here whatsoever (which leaves me unsurprised). There seems to be no evidence of anything even reading such a registry key.

Ok. But things are a bit faster in WinXP for me.

Tried it with Win98 : I did not notice anything special.
That seems to confirm something may be happening in W2K as I noticed some faster closing of some apps.
Well, it does not do any harm anyway

ah ok thanx viper i guess i wasnt exactly clear on that one being that it was 3 or so in the morning and i was dead tired

but i will add the line and report back. on a side note i did change win32seperation from 2 to 1 and it has no side effects but my outlook and ie seem to load a little faster of course i could be crazy or tired since now ive been all nite anyway with my sick kid

I tried this tweak, and while normal windows programs did seem a bit snappier, it caused noticible stuttering in games that were previously silky smooth (Alice, Max Payne, Mechwarrior 4, etc)
