1. Open the properties for the C:\ drive.
2. Select the Tools tab.
3. Click Defragment now to display the Disk Defragmenter dialog box.
4. Click Configure schedule.
5. Clear the Run on a schedule checkbox.

The handwriting input drivers packaged with the Tablet PC Components are not necessary for
Windows 7 instances deployed as virtual desktops.
To remove these components:
1. Select Control Panel > Programs and Features.
2. Click Turn Windows features on or off.
3. In the Windows Features dialog box clear the Tablet PC Components checkbox.

Windows 7 draws a startup animation during the boot process. This will not be seen by users who
are not connected to the console and it needlessly consumes resources.
To disable it:
1. Start the msconfig.exe program.
2. Select the Boot tab.
3. Under the Boot options, select No GUI boot and Base video.
4. Clear the Boot log checkbox, unless this functionality is desired.
