Creating a gaming account and a folding / everyday use account

[mrapoc]

Now that I have server 2003 installed will I be able to have the dream of one account for gaming (minimal services etc.) and the other account for constant folding, and everything else?

It should give me a few more options than my xp home

Any ideas/guides on how to do it? Its basicall XP pro with less cr*p installed and more options in terms of user accounts

Lemme rephrase

I want one account to load some services and some startup whereas I want the other to load less services and less startup

Now you are in trouble.

P'raps you've invented something Sam ....... could make millons!

Maybe not quite the solution you are after - but could you have two installs of windows on the same disk, one for the gaming and one for other. Not ideal but it is at least a solution!

Another thought is can services etc be managed through a group/user policy template? If so, the answer is there!

This one even confused me! Ill give it a shot however...

"Now that I have server 2003 installed will I be able to have the dream of one account for gaming (minimal services etc.) and the other account for constant folding, and everything else?"

Constant folding - obviously cant be constant if you want minimal services?

At the end of the day, i think you'd be "as well off" as using one account, and just switching between the two, or, perhaps a better idea (seeing as most games are still not multi-threaded) setting one core to process the folding constantly, and, all the "CPU" affecting services - and leave the other core for your games?

Nah mate, i meant

1 account that as soon as i log in it folds, and i can use it for basically anything (apart from gaming)

a different account that does not initiate folding and disables other services necessary for daily use (print spooler for example)
