[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1177239, member: 131855"] No. That is not necessary at all. For some things I boot into Safe Mode [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455]Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode[/url]. Since Safe Mode disables some functions I might actually need for troubleshooting, most of the time when there is a problem I boot into a user account that is only used for troubleshooting. It had admin rights bot no "extras" in the account pane. I am not sure there is a way to create the kind of boot profiles you are talking about in OS X. I think the general idea is that most of the kinds of programs you are talking about disabling use very little in the way of system resources unless they are actively being used. [/QUOTE]
