Firstly, thanks to all who have helped me with my project, VBA codes, formula etc etc. My project is running great, still on test, but getting results.

I'm still on XP Pro, Office 2010, ( till MS's Win 10 is sorted ) In the mean time, I have a few niggling resource hungry back ground processes slowing things down, in particular, osppsvc.exe I have tried changing the value in registry from the default 300, right down to 5 on test, but nothing seems to disable this process. The information came from a Microsoft post from another's similar question. Is there a VBA code I can implement, so it, (osppsvc.exe), just goes away?

Information from a MS Reply say's, ( but it did not work - it did not time-out @ 5 second setting in ValueType: DWORD as suggested). From Microsoft: 'The Office Software Protection Platform service is generally started on demand when a user has started Office, however, there are license types which can start the service otherwise (such as those using a Key Management Server). As for stopping the service, there are several reasons we do not automatically shut down the service by default. These reasons are based on Office's cross OS version compatibility, communications from our users about their Office usage profile, preferences, resource usage profile, and differing ways in utilizing the service between Office and Windows. That said, while we do not default our service to timing out after inactivity, if this is something your organization values, you have the ability to control this.

You may set the following registry key: Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft OfficeSoftwa reProtectionPlatform ValueName: InactivityShutdownDelay ValueType: DWORD ValueData: The number in seconds, that the Office Software Protection Platform will stay running for, after the most recent activity. The windows default for this is 300 seconds. After setting this key, simply restart the Office Software Protection Platform Service to use the new settings.' Find the service name from SC. Open a Command Prompt and type: sc query Scroll through the list to find osppsvc and copy the 'SERVICE_NAME' Type this as a test: sc query xxx Where xxx is the SERVICE_NAME Assuming you get a response you can try stopping the service. Type: sc stop xxx Create a Scheduled Task Start >Run, taskschd.msc Click 'Create basic task' in the right pane.

Give it a name and set the trigger as required. Action is start a program. In 'program/script' type:%comspec% In 'arguments' type: /c sc stop xxx Where xxx is the SERVICE_NAME. Cheers, Paul.
