well i supose its not a big deal though. other than this have you had any issues with win7 slayer?

i have no had this problem,though i do not leave my computer on for more than 4 hours at a time maybe 6 hours.

Wow nice job I will do this soon thanks rjohnson11

I turned off sleep mode because I could never get it to work right but I think that is because of some third party hardware.

I have one thing to add.

I setup my PC with 2 Hard Dives.  One SATA with no data, to install Windows on.  The Other Sata had files from my old pc.  I don't remember the exact error message, but Windows refused to install on the blank drive.  When I unplugged the secondary drive, windows installed without issues.

Thanks for this great guide. Unfortunately for me, I am stuck in the full administrator rights The section. I installed 7 exactly as you directed. Then I proceeded to deal with the administrator account items. I did all the steps through the re-boot. When I tried to delete the use folder that 7 created during the install I get an error saying "The action can't be completed because the folder or file in it is open in another program". For the Public folder, I get "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Administrators to make changes to this folder."

I did not do or open anything else. I followed the steps to the letter. I tried to switch users but the Administrator account [which I renamed [to Bill] per instructions] is the only choice. The 3rd folder I see in Users is named Administrator - not the name I changed it to.

If I right click that folder and go to Properties - Security - Advanced, I see that SYSTEM, Administrators and the administrator account that I renamed [to Bill] all have Full Control. Only Home Users have "Special"

What did I do wrong ?

On another note, I tried fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify again and got a 0 back this time so it looks like Trim is enabled. But when i go to defrag, 9 says only drives that require defrag will be listed. Well my SSD [C:\} is listed. Its not grayed out or anything. So now I am concerned that 7 is not recognizing the SSD properly.

Thanks in advance.

thanks for this execptionla guide but i have some questions:

NOTE: as mentioned before, regarding the registry, windows 7’s registry and kernel files are written differently then that of prior operating systems. With that said never, and I repeat never use and kind of registry clean program
ok so i cannot use any registry cleaners??
what about ccleaner??? is this safe to use??
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

this ccleaner has like 2 options for cleaning.
1. it cleans the internet temporary files, the recycle bin and other temprary files.
2. i think the 2nd one if for cleaning the registry
3. removes programs from from uninstall or change a program.
so i can still use the 1 option to clean temprary files or things like that?
is the registry cleaning option safe?? or should i not use it??

also about the "real" admin account. is it really necessary to delete the admin account and then make another admin account which supposely is te real one with full rights??
one more thing: when i get into windows i should install the anti-virus first?? or the drivers from the chipset and nividia drivers??
because for the anti-virus i need to use the internet because i have nod32 4.
thanks for the help and that great guide.

thanks for all thhe help. now i have full admin rights and everything installed rgight.
thanks for this guide.

Thanks! great guide! I'll tell you what worked for me and what didn't. First off changing the number of cores to the highest in the advanced boot settings worked out really well. The guide was a bit hard to read due to its organization, but it's bearable. I would have added things into a list form. But I can imagine how large the text would become.  Good stuff though!

Hey JR.... another THANK YOU for the guide.

I'm about to reinstall Win7 for the first time, and this will really come in handy.
You know you're getting older when you just do the basic "install" and don't immediately start tweaking the OS.

Your guide will really come in handy.
