Whyever would ANYONE mess around a lot with services and drivers

I haven't needed to do that for ..... YEARS!!!

I think the OP (you cut the message - I have no idea what
the
thread was about) wasn't referring to "boy services" or "hunky
drivers".
The kind of "services" you paid for and got scammed for
"YEARS
!!!!" ago (actually 12 years ago). Although you "registered" a
complaint at the local plod-shop, that's not a real "registry"
entry.
Correct me if I'm wrong. No malware or STALKING links or
cut_and_pastes. Just your own words describing the "services and
drivers" you NEEDED to "mess around with".
TIA

PS. If it was "years ago", how is it relevant to the Win 10
group you cross-posted to ?

Relevant here because, unlike you, I'm not afraid to use Windows
10. :-)

In other words, it has nothing to do with the windows10 newsgroup.
You're fishing for new bait.

I used to follow advice from Black Viper - going way back to
Windows 95 days. http://www.blackviper.com/about/

Windows 95? Clearly, you made a mistake here.

I used to 'tweak' all manner of things back then! ;-)

It doesn't elevate you to that of a power user, though. You're
*still* an end user.
