Hi,

In the shop when we 'clean up computers' we usually do in addition a bunch of other tweaks such as disabling unnecessary services and startup items. The thing to keep in mind here is that these are a per-machine setting, so one machine it may be acceptable to do a specific tweak but on another machine it may make a certain feature stop functioning properly
