How to Start or Disable Services in Windows 7


information   Information
Services are a computer program or process that runs in the background and
provides support to other programs in Windows 7. This will show you how
to start or disable a Windows 7 service of your choice.

For more information on each service,
see: Standard Windows 7 Services Svchost.exe

If you want to cut down the overhead of what is running in the background
and speed Windows 7 up some, then only disable the services you do not use.
If you disable a service that you need or use, then it could actually lower your
computer's performance. The Services apply to all users on the computer.
