[QUOTE="MartinSmith, post: 185179"] Right you are, druffski. And to further manipulate Windows Services, click Start / Control Panel / Administrative Services / Settings. From here you can read a brief Description, verify Status, Startup Type (i.e. automatic, manual or disable), and Log On As for each Service. Clicking on each service opens Service Properties where, in addition to the same Description, you can modify the Startup Type, Log On, and Recovery, as well as review "This service depends on the following system components" and "The following system components depend on this service" information. While "Autoruns" is a GREAT tool, like msconfig (which launches the System Configuration Utility), you are limited to enable or disable each service. More importantly, if a Service is disabled, it may not appear or be listed. I don't know why, but some disable Services still get listed while others do not. This may just happen on my system, but, for example, if I "disable" Workstation, it does no longer appears in the System Configuration Utility.
