Hello, everybody. In this period I have rebuilt my CMP 3 times, 2 times deliberately leading to a crash and each time applying my own tweaks in a slightly different sequence just to see the "right" way. This is what I propose to do, and it is safe.
Remove to your temp folder, or whatever folder you have chosen, these folders from Windows or Program files or from elswhere: Help (windows help, surely), Internet Explorer, Macromedia, Messenger, Movie Maker, msagent, Netmeetings, Online Services, Outlook Express, Speech, Speech Engine, Video Lan, Windows Media, Windows Media Player and reboot two times. (this is in case you haven't done it yet).
Here goes the tweaks part 5 itself
1. Remove the files: iprtrmgr.dll, rasctrs.dll, mprddm.dll, rasrad.dll, prtmgr.dll, mprddm.dll. Reboot.
2. Registry tweaks
a. Go to regedit, open your registry: H.Key-Classes-Root. Delete wmp.audiocd, wmptheme, wmpskinmngr.1, avifile, audiocd, audiovbscript, audiovbscript.1, wav, wma, wmv, wax, everythimg mp, mpg, mpeg2,3,4, flac and so on (all audio-video multimedia suffixes you know), delete Internet Explorer application and its double - .1, Windows media.
b. Go to H.KEY- Current User-Software-Policies- delete Netscape (repeat with all users)
c. Go to HKLM/System/Control Set001/Services (the same with control set 002 and 003) and delete sysaudio, splitter, cdaudio, swmidi, redbook.
d. Go to HKLM-Software-Active Setup-Installed Components. (Don't be scared) The 4th (cdd79...) from below should be Windows Movie Maker (check in the field to the right) Delete it. The 3rd from above (22d6...) - media player. Delete it.
e. Go to HKLM-Software-Microsoft-delete audiocompr.manager, Internet explorer, IE4 and IE setup
f. Go to Hkey-Users- (you may start with default user but do it within every user listed) s1-5-20 - software-Internet explorer delete it.
g. go to HKLM-System- (all control sets)- services-and delete MSPQM, MSKSSRV, MSPCLOCK
h. HKLM-System-Control set (all sets) ENUM-ROOT-MEDIA delete media
i. HKLM-System-Control set (all sets) -control-Media properties and delete inside everything that doesn't bear the name of your soundcard. The same about Media resources
j. HKLM-System-control set (all sets) -Services and delete: aec, Alerter, asyncMac, audstub, wdmaud, AFD, Browser, DHCP, Dnscache, HTTP, IP6FW (and its .sys file from drivers folder), IPFilterDriver and (ipfltdrv.sys file from drivers folder. All other services with corresponding files will be enumerated below in paragraph j. as files. Remove or delete them from registry AND from folders), IpInIp.sys, kmixer, kssrv, ipnat.sys, ipsec.sys, swmidi, modem, mnmsrvc.exe, splitter, netdde, netddedsdm, netlogon, netman, nla, nic1394.sys, nwlnkflt.sys (+nwlnkipx.sys, nwlnknb.sys, nwlnkspx.sys, nwrdr sys), nwlnkfwd,
perfnet.dll, policy agent, RasAcd, RasAuto, RasMan, rdbss.sys, rdpdr.sys, rdpnp (+drprov.dll), raspppoe.sys, rdsessmgr (+sessmgr.exe), Remote Access, Rpclocator, Shared Access, Spooler (spoolsv.exe !VERY IMPORTANT), Srv.sys, stisvc, ssddpsrv (don't know if it has to do with ssd disks, so be wary), smlogsvc.exe, sysmonlog (+smlogsvc.exe), tapisrv, tcpip.sys (+ tcpip6.sys,), TermDD.sys, termservice (+tcmsetup.exe), Themes, TlntSvr.exe (+telnet.exe, tlntadmin.exe), W32time, wanarp.sys, wdmaud, wmdmPmSn, wuaserv, WZCSVC, xmlprov.
REMOVE THE CORRESPONDING FILES!!!, Perform this castration on all control sets!!!
k.Go to HKLM-System- Control set (all sets)-Control-Class (find 6th from above) {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} open, find cdrom, remove digital audio, NEXT IS VERY IMPORTANT
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet (all sets) \Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} open and delete everything (you may probably retain drm and kx audio driver 0005, but I deleted everything, though drm and kx driver I deleted later)
As You Delete these services from control set 001 it wil be more or less automatically deleted from current control set, but CHECK ALL SETS. When you will see screaming dialogues, don't be scared.
This is a list of files to be deleted mostly from system32 and system32\drivers
exe files: locator, mnmsrvc, netdde, scardsrv, sessmgr, smlogsvc, spoolsv, tcmsetup, tcpsvcs, telnet, tlntadmin, tlntsvr.
dll files: drprov, iprtrmgr, mprddm, ncxpnt, nddeap, nddenb32, netapi (be careful), netcfgx, netevent, neth, netid, netman, netrap, nlhtml, nmevtmsg, nwwks perfnet rasctrs rasrad
sys files: afd, http, ip6fw, ipfltdrv, ipinip, ipnat, ipsec, modem, rio1394, nwlnkflt, nwlnkfwd, nwlnkipx, nwlnknb, nwlnkspx, nwrdr, raspppoe, rdbss, rdpdr, srv, tcpip6, tcpip, termdd and a file wave.inf (search for it)
NOW REBOOT. Listen to some music! (Let your cmp burn in for an hour)
Serge.
P.S. Please, try to do it with a system backup or smth... just in case. I don't expect ANY troubles.
P.P.S. This is the hardest part of the tweaks. Starting from part 7 and up to 9 it will be piece of cake.
