If I find a spare copy do you want me to send it to you?

I'm sure I bought lots once   ::)

I thought black viper supplied .reg files that you can run to reverse all the tweaks back to defaults.

Black Viper's site has been dead for over a year now.  (There are or used to be mirrors up at various places).

However, all BV did was disable some startup services or change them from automatic to either manual or disabled.
You can either see how they are set on your other machine, or go to http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm and it will list how they are set up by default.

Then just run services.msc and set them back to what you want.

And there are options for OS disks, as SpyStyle said, but I don't think you need them for what you are trying to change.

You can still access Black Vipers site from the Internet Archive.

Yes and he also released .reg files to set the services to automatic/manual or disabled. I will attach all the reg files for XP and Home edition that I downloaded when his site was active. These include the reg files to set the services back to their default setting.
