GTLite (Manual Start)

Hello boys and girls. I just started using GameTracker and decided to download "GameTracker Lite". After installing I noticed that GameTrackers Service was always running in the background, even when I'm not gaming. So I just did a quick test and set the Service to Manual. But when I tried to load GTLite it wouldn't connect. Like some programs, GTLite's service is unable to start from launching the program and the program won't run without the service first.

So I made a quick .bat file and shortcut to Start the service and then launch GTLite. Works perfect and saves my computer some resources. I figured I would share it with you. So for anyone who is meticulous like me and likes to set their computer to use the least amount of resources, here yah go.


GTLite (Manual).zip
Compressed Zip Folder (1.78KB)


README
Included in .zip

/////// Directions ////////

Go to START > RUN
type services.msc
Go down to "GS In-Game Service" > right click > Properties
Set Startup Type: Manual
Then click "Stop" under Service status

Then click Apply
Then Click OK

Close Services

Place GTLite (Manual).bat into your GameTracker Directory:
C:\Program Files\GameTracker

Place the GameTracker Lite shortcut wherever you want.
You should overwrite the original shortcut.

Running GameTracker Lite through my shortcut
will Start the GS In-Game Service and then Launch GameTracker Lite.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

Now you don't need to have the GS Service running 24/7 wasting resources.
If you want to save memory when your done using GameTracker
go back into Services and Stop the GS In-Game Service.

enjoy

Note: If your GameTracker Directory is not "C:\Program Files\GameTracker"
Right click my GameTracker Lite Shortcut and change the "Target" and "Start in"
command to match where your GameTracker Directory is.

Good idea. I thought the same thing and use a .bat of my own. I hate having extra services running when I don't need them.
