Randyman... said:I also use the Management Console's "Services" page to enable/disable services. 3 clicks: Right-Click on My Computer, and select "Manage" - Services are on the first page... It gives you "dependancies" for other services that rely on the selected service, too!
TollhouseFrank said:do you mean remove as in turn off?
or remove as in totally delete them from your system?
telexen said:Don't use msconfig...as said before. It does different things with them
I disagree with Xtreme Barton ... if you absolutely know you won't be using a service (and you're not just experimenting with disabling certain ones)...then completely removing them is the best option - your best choice for that is to use nLite and create a stripped down XP CD that won't install them to begin with.
If you change any startup setting by using the System Configuration Utility, Windows XP Professional prompts you to return to normal operations the next time you log on. A prompt and the System Configuration Utility appear each time you log on until you restore the original startup settings by clicking Normal Startup under Startup Selection on the General tab. To permanently change a startup setting, use Control Panel, change a Group Policy setting, or uninstall the application that added the service.
I.M.O.G. said:It's like this, through services.msc you can disable a service and still be in normal mode. Through msconfig you can disable a service but you will automatically be put into "selective startup" mode. Services.msc is a permanent system change, msconfig is a temporary system change.
