Speed Up Your Windows 7 {EASY} - INC3PT!0N™ - 06-10-2011
1.0 Disable Unwanted Services
Windows 7 enables services that aren’t necessarily required by default. You can relieve a huge amount of system resources by disabling these services or setting them to “Manual mode”. Configuring a service to this setting means, it doesn’t start automatically, but rather only when it is required.
How to Disable services:
Access the “Start Menu“
Type in “services.msc” in the search line and press “Enter“. (Alternately you can open the “Control Panel“, locate the “Administrative Tools” icon and click on “Services“.)
Go to a service property page to set it to Automatic/Manual or Disabled. Right click on the service name and choose “Properties” to access the properties screen.
Use the screenshot below as a reference:
