Re: 6. [New] Bypass Windows Explorer (User Interface)

Yes, that does sound noticably cleaner.
Now I have one more secret I've been saving to share, but I don't know if it can be safely used. See the following link:
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/archive/2005/07/24/running-windows-with-no-services.aspx
I saved this after reading it long ago, hoping I could use it in the future, but someone else has to figure out how it can be done safely because I'm new to batch files:

Basicaly, you can kill Smss.exe first and then winlogon.exe (which includes all your services) using that Process Explorer program (or batch file, I assume).
I used to do this frequently, and heard a nice improvement, but the catch is that you are forced to turn off your computer with the power button since windows can't function properly anymore.
If there was a way to use a batch file to restart those processes or services in the way you just showed us how to restart explorer, it would be real cool. That way when running foobar you could temporarily disable almost everything else that uses memory.
Trying this should not damage your pc, but some are not comfortable with doing a hard reboot, so proceed at your own risk. It's fun to at least and see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Let me know if this is feasible.
