    Default Windows 7 hardware profile substitute?

    I just set up a user account just for DJing where unnecessary stuff won't be loaded (like LAN,WLAN,antivirus).

    Since there are no hardware-profiles anymore I don't know how to realize this.

    Have you discovered any tactics to successfully handle this?

    check the link in my sig admittedly xp related, but all apart the hardware profiles apply.

    also, with the explorer shell tweak add /prefetch:1 on the end of the path to traktor/ableton exe's.

    have been experiment with the devcon and taskkill commands in a batch files, but each line requires UAC authorisation, so unless you're happy to kill UAC it's no good

    I know that entry. Good one indeed.

    My UAC is off anyways, because it's doing nothing but bothering me.
    How can you kill devices with devon or taskkill?

    to use devcon;

    open command prompt with admin preveliges

    type devcon findall * > all.txt
    this creates a txt file with all devices on the machine listed.
    to knock one out you need the line; devcon disable [device code]
    do a line for each.
    taskkill kills processes (windows services come back) use the line taskkill /im[taskname or pid - found in task manager]

    i recommend then having a pause line after these
    then "devcon restart" lines for each device, then a pause, then shutdown -s
    this will then keep the batch running behind traktor/ableton after disabling devices, wait until you press any key, then restarts devices, then shuts down the machine

    just discovered that the services can be stopped with a 'net stop "service name"' command.

    Maybe y´all might want to check out Gamebooster, it turns off all unneeded services and applications with one press of a button and vice versa.

    It gave me a huge performance boost. Its really good, i use it for a while and have really great experiences.
