Firstly I use Windows XP SP3 so if you have a different OS YMMV.

I am absolutly ruthless with my APC, I set everythig (services) to "Stop then restart" except for Aitivirus, event log, Plug and Play, Security accounts manager, System Restore, Windows Audio, Windows Management instrumentation.

I turn all programmes to either "Stop" or "Stop then restart" depending.

I then choose to defrag my memory, Shutdown/restart Windows Shell/Desktop, Remove Desktop Wallpaper. Then I choose to put SH3 Commander as "Programs to start and Monitor"

Then I assign a specific Icon (Under the information tag) to the profile and then click and drag it to my desktop from the APC "Top Level Profiles" page.

When I want to run SH3 I just click that icon on my desktop and it automaticly sets the whole thing in motion.

So, no, I dont set SH3 to run from APC, just SH3 Commander, when SH3 Commander is open, you can set your changes and launch SH3 as normal from there. Yes all your changes take effect.

When you finish playing and close SH3, you should be at the SH3 Commander page again. When you Close that page, all your "Stop then Restart" programmes and Services will start again.

Whew, quite a story, but I hope it helps.

thanks to both of you!

i have been back and tried to configure using Commander as a profile but its all gone wrong!
it worked using the original SH3 profile but i need it to go through commander - oh well, back to the grind stone!
