xp-AntiSpy is allows you to easily enable/disable usually unnecessary or undesirable Windows features (e.g. Messenger, Media Player's automatic codec download, language bar (ctfmon.exe), etc.). As the name suggests, the program was originally focused on preventing privacy-sensitive elements, but has expanded to many others, including enabling hidden features like a command-line prompt in context menu and an increase in the maximum number of half-opened TCP connections (helpful for P2P applications).

Well this programs JOB is to write to the registry. ;) So we shouldn't worry too much about that eh?

@anoncow: yes, both write to the registry. Seconfig is a bit more strict in some areas, while xp-Antispy has a little more flexibility in its controls.

what's the difference between seconfig's stealth and this one? Don't they both need to write to the registry to do their thing (which is fine in their case)?
Does xp-antispy write something else?

A great tool for customizing the Windows Operating System and for turning off elements in it that can hurt your privacy. The software does a few things better than a similar program XPY (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=299, but I tend to use them together to fill in the other's weaknesses.

especial para mi nueva memoria USB de 512.. ahora si podre meterle todos los paquetes para no perder nada de lo que traiga...
The problem with the internet is that, even when you spell out and try to avoid something, that something happens anyway.
Notice "which is fine in their case"!
And about the JOB, the beggining of that sentence:
"Don't they both need to write to the registry TO DO THEIR THING"
The question is what's the difference between the two.
